    How hard is it to not let Durant bring up the ball? Let Reed bring it up, and let Durant come off screens to where he can't be doubled as fast.

    This is coaching 101, or Durant could you know, pass the ball instead of holding the ball for 5 seconds after being doubled.

    I would be shocked if we actually had a counter for it. I have not seen this staff have any inclination to change course on just about anything

    A soft double team is hard to figure out, I guess. They're not even running hard to double. They're just walking over to double KD and he sh*ts his pants.

    The answer is to stop having him initiate offense.

    But we just keep doing it over and over again.

    Insanity.

    You can’t have KD bring the ball up the court if he can’t handle the double.

    It's painful, HOF talent that he won't be bothered to play hard. He doesn't fit the culture that we've worked years to build.

    If there is a stat for stupid, predictable, unforced turnovers there's no doubt we're close to the top. I'm not even sure rookie point guards make this many mistakes.

    How is it not embarrassing?

    That’s why KD is a b****.

    Gets ripped when he can see the double coming from a mile away, and then completely gives up on D giving Luka a wide open 3.

    That is a loser, that is loser ball.

    Durant looks like he quit on the team. I normally wouldn't put that tag on him but for one, he has a reputation and secondly the comments he made saying how **** this team is leads me to believe he has.

    I wonder if Udoka even argues with KD. This coach is a puppet.

    KD is a lot of things. Basketball terrorist. Vibe killer. Chemistry crippler. Growth stunter. All-time scorer. Generational talent. r****ded bus-rider.

    He was given the keys to drive this bus, but he turned em over.

    He just freaks out. Its unexplainable, don't even know why he's bringing the ball up at this point
