Durant has slowed down significantly this year tbh, he's still high IQ and a good shooter but he cant move like he used to on or off ball.

He doesn't have Curry carrying him like a baby.

LeCan is probably doing an interview right now crying to play with Steph.

Missed the game last night but Steph’s stat line oh lord

Very good stat line but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Guy had the entire team going and was dictating the play whenever he was on the court. Best leader in the game and still arguably the MVP at this age.

Brad Beal is absolutely killing the Suns this year. He’s a mediocre player getting paid like a superstar.

This guy has been a complete can. They would have been better off not trading for him... You think Suns would learn from what Brooklyn literally just did which is gut its depth and fit for a rickety broken down player but he we are again.

Not to mention they got rid of all their depth for a player who can’t stay healthy. Genius idea

They traded for him because he compliments Booker and Durant by being a slasher. The problem is they have no wings or bigs to run a PnR. Nurkic has looked like a massive can despite his skillset seemingly was perfect for them. Eubanks has been absolutely dog shit filling for Nurkic's minutes. They just have nothing down low or enough athleticism to help the big 3. That's not including the injuries they've had on zero depth.

I dont know how much better they'd be if they got role players for him. With KD slowing down and Booker being a complete can at times this team wouldn't be a contender regardless of roster construction IMO. They can't even run a lot of actions others in the league can because they lack athleticism.

KD has definitely lost a step and I just don't think Booker has the mentality to be the #1 on a championship team. Hard to win with that Dwight Howard edge when you need to be a Kobe.

Spot on about the lack of stuff they can run, God they're dog sht

He's been in Washington with a shit owner, shit coaches, and a shit team around him

Curry didnt do shit without a great team around him either. It's been proven time and time again great players dont do shit without great teams. The exception is LeBron James in 2009 winning 66 games with absolute bums.

Don't blaspheme Sasha Pavlovich and JJ Hickson like that, please.
 
Lmao at the Least in 2009. Not being able to overcome Rafer Alston and Courtney Lee to make the Finals is hilarious.

Absolute comedy.

LeBron averaged 39, 8, 8 that series. Second highest scorer for the Cavs was Mo Williams with 18 ppg on an abysmal 37 fg%.

Dwight, Rashard Lewis, Tukoglu and even Michael Pietrus were superior the "support" Lebron had in that series.

The pre-Heat Lebron Cavs teams were all teams LeBron had to literally carry through the season and playoffs. LeBron took Sasha Pavlovich, Boobie Gibson, Drew Gooden to the finals in 2007. Those three were all starters who should've been rotational bench players at best on any other playoff team.

His movement has probably had the edge taken off of it but his stat line is the same as it ever was and in some cases higher. More assists, a higher FG% and a higher FG3% as compared to his career averages. The Suns real weakness is not KD, Booker, or Beal, its that shallow ass bench.

A loss is a loss son. MJ averaged 44-6-6 against one of the greatest teams ever assembled, basically had zero help, and lost. That's life.

And no, they weren't superior support. LeCan had Mo Williams, Varejao, Ilgauskas, West etc. He chose to play the way they did. If LeCan can't elevate his teammates to beat those guys then that's that.

The East sucked and they couldn't even get through it. End of story. Year in, year out he found a way to fail while being favorites.
