    The most important stat is W/L. Anyone arguing he didn't have a big impact on winning last year is either lying or delusional.

    To argue W/L is just another

    If you hate (or don't "respect") Durant, that is your privilege, but you must understand trying to convince objective people to discount his ability will fail because they don't share your blind rage.

    Again you reply with nothing of substance you really didnt have anything to dispute what I said. I never said he wasnt efficient or a good player. And your replies are as if Im saying he sucks. No Im saying he is overrrated and he has been a cancer and I said I dont like his decisions on a personal level. With all these great stats you have he still has not accomplished anything as a leader or the guy who has all these great stats. He still runs when the going gets tough and he has accomplished nothing without the team the he ran to to stack the deck against us and the rest of the league. we werent good enough for him in his prime he talked **** and stacked the deck against us but now he needs us. **** that. he still gets online at 5am to talk **** and get owned by fans. he is still the guy trying to downplay jordans career because he knows that he cant compare to someone like that. He isnt and never was and wlll never be that. I just dont like him. Cant wait til the KD era in Houston is over.

    You replied with nothing of substance that he didn't help teams win games and championships.

    Your emotions completely dominate your thinking.

    Your numbers support the post you reply, which you seem to disagree.

    The Suns were a bad team. They would have been even worse if they didn't have Durant.

    Nothing you have nothing. Nothing to refute anything I said because you know what I said is true so you reply the only thing someone defeated can reply. A meaningless personal attack against me because I'm not a simping fan boy of an overrated player that stacked the deck against us laughed at us and was too good for us but now that he needs us it's all good. No thank you. Go load manage and cheat the league somewhere else.

    No i didn't disagree with it, i just thought it was wild how good their record was in his games despite having a negative net rating in his minutes. Of course they were worse without him, he's very good.

    H
    I said he is a top 10-20 player in the league right now. How close he is to his peak is irrelevant. His peak is also top 10-20 of all-time. Kat is your argument, hahahaha. I'd say stick to baseball analysis, but you suck at that too.

    everything from last year and all the data as well points to durant still being very very good next year. In fact he's one of the only players to come back from an achillies injury and actually average more PPG than before

    If a player was the 2nd best player in the league and now according to you can be ranked as low as 20, how is he not a shell of what he used to be? Do you consider Harden to be a shell of himself? Or do you view him the same as in 2018. Makes zero sense, you can be as much as of ass as you want it doesn't really matter, and i don't recall ever posting any baseball analysis outside of wanting diaz over maldy which i guess you disagree with.

    Great keep these stats when we are worst than last year so you can blame the young guys when we eventually lose. We're not winning a chip with KD. I dont beleive in him at all.

    Agreed, he's still a very useful player. I think there's a possibility he's the 3rd best overall player on the Rockets next season... but that's not because he's bad, it's because I'm really high on Amen and Sengun. I think KD is still a top 30 player even in his old age

    how are we worst than last year? We swapped out Jalen for KD essentially; how does that make us worse? Not to mention all the ancillary trades and signings we did
