    Let’s give this guy a season. I don’t think he’s been set up well. But if he commands the ball like he did in this last Denver game, he’s gonna have a much better 2nd half of the season. If we can take the initiation pressure off him he will pay dividends. Let’s not ask him to be Luka. He’s not that guy. Set him up to maximize what he does best.

    I agree. The team is better if Durant takes more 3’s and less 2’s. Last night was an indicator of what we could be with more space. Durant took over at times and we need that as well. Ime’s job is to figure out how to utilize Durant in the way that makes the team the best it can be. I personally don’t think that is dominating the ball with ISO plays. I saw several double picks to get Sheppard loose when he was on ball. Now, institute some off ball screens to get him open.
