    Not even going to bother wasting my money shelling out on a ticket to see Ime's garbage in DC next year.

    Wow, Tate is in the game. I guess Ime is desperate.

    I think the offense is what it is because its become way too KD reliant.

    It's like no matter what is working it doesn't matter, we go back to KD.

    Jabari gets hot? Ah well, get it to KD.

    Sengun gets hot? So what! Get it to KD

    Someone gets going but it always comes down to KD and I'm not even blaming KD for this, he's F'n KD, the team as a whole has to get some confidence. KD works here as a bonus to what we have, it doesn't work if we are treating him like prime KD.

    We might need a few more of those games where KD is resting.

    We’re shooting 51 percent. Offense isn’t the issue

    This team needs a big time reset. Nothing they are doing is working. Teams smell blood and come to play night after night. The scouting has what we do figured out to the tee.

    I don't understand how a double team just completely neutralises Durant now. He is definitely heading in the Scottie Pippen as a Rocket direction.

    Who is the modern day Kelvin Cato we can trade him for?

    Why do we keep trying to force feed Adams the ball? He literally turns it over EVERY FREAKIN TIME.

    How many times does a pass to a cutting Adams result in something positive?

    Hint: rarely. Yet they keep doing it multiple times a game.

    Yup. I‘ve been wishing for some KD rest. It would also make sense since he‘s old.

    Reed needs to get confident quick. Just like the suns/gsw warriors games from a few weeks ago.

    And look at that, looked like KD told Reed to work and he gets an and 1.

    This team needs to stop being so reliant on KD touches.
