    Kevin Durant is the only player over 28 years old in the top 10 mpg

    Kevin Durant is only 1 of 2 players over 30 in the top 25 mpg

    37 years old. 3rd in mpg. Bone on bone.

    Now that KD got his all-star nomination, he can finally rest.

    Will the team remember how to play without dumping it to him 40+ minutes per game?

    I'm amazed KD hasn't missed more. His usage level is unsustainable.

    Great, can't wait to see a more balanced attack.

    This will be a real test in the 4th quarter. Is it going to be Sengun 1 on 5 or will Ime let somebody else contribute down the stretch?

    I’m kinda bummed as I would have gotten to see KD live in person for the first time… but I’d rather he load manage and be awesome in the playoffs than play against the bottom feeder Pacers

    great cant wait to see the Amen - Okogie - Eason - Smith - Sengun lineup. Ready to gauge my eyes out.

    If Okogie shoots like he did last game it’s a good lineup. Sengun will have to step up in the starting unit and Reed from the bench. This is not an easy game. Indy has been playing well lately.

    there is literally no one in that lineup that can create a shot outside 10ft. that is not a good lineup.

    I think it’ll be beneficial for Amen and others to not have that comfort blanket. They can just let it rip and do things on offense they normally wouldn’t feel as comfortable doing.

    Amen consistently creates wide open 3’s for Tari, Jabari, and Okogie. Whether they hit them or not is the problem. Reed doesn’t create very well, but we need his shooting.

    Heavy load and touches for our soft, weak, too euro basketball centric, turkish star Center.

    He needs to let his nuts drop and stop letting inferior and smallers players bully him around in the paint.

    I will be curious to see how it goes and I definitely don’t mind Durant, beginning to take the occasional game off.

    Stepped out of bounds play.
