    I feel it's more a coaching issue than a Durant issue. Durant is playing some pretty good basketball and has won us more games than Ime's coaching has.

    It’s hard to really judge a player offensive progression under Ime. There’s no spacing and the floor lineups aren’t complimentary.


    I’ll say Ime has reached his ceiling with this team before the players.

    Are these troll posts? Alpi is playing on a bum ankle and getting his shoulder iced when he sits down no **** his D and mobility will be fried. He shouldnt even be playing he just got forced quickly cuz only KD knows how to score in ISOs.

    as for KD saying he has "meh" defense when the dude is 37 and having to score in ISO almost every possession...no **** sherlock. Moreover KD had thr second best defensive FG after Wemby just a while back.

    I am not sure what has happened to the collective IQ of CF this season but you guys have lost the plot.

    He sprained his ankle or did you miss the memo? Its not fatigue he is playing thru pain. He was only out a week bruh do you have any idea about how long ankle sprains take to recover????

    I have been following the conversation all I see is you b****ing and complaining about how slow Sengun is on D without thinking he is playing injured.

    Dude just put up 25/14/3 playing on a bum ankle and shown to be icing his shoulder during timeouts. You should be putting respect on his name playing tough and thru injuries instead of b****ing about him. Dude is a warrior and maybe if we had better players around him who could actually shoot the basketball and a coach who knows how to run an offense he and KD wouldnt have to play like super heroes every game just for us to win.

    I didn't get a chance to watch the entire game last night but the highlights liberally featured Sengun getting absolutely pile driven into the stanchion by Randle on multiple occasions

    Is this bad
