Act like OKC Durant never happened, breh

Some of y'all are miserable. And only want someone else's success on your terms
Carmelo stans are OD. Didn't even know they were still around, feels like going out for a walk and seeing a random stegosaurus down the block all these thousands of years later. KD took the scoring then Lamelo took the nickname it's like man what are these nikkas hanging their hat on these days, what have they been up to

It'd be one thing if shyt was neck and neck. Every single year after Year 2 KD up to today at 36 you'd take over Carmelo's best year on earth lmaoooo. Argument's been dusted shyts absurd

As far as the OP, KD's just had shyt luck post GS. Hitched his wagon to supremely talented but out of shape & constantly injured weirdos on my Nets and a ultra flawed team in Phoenix. Prime KD's not saving this ship, at best you get the Thunder teams again and early exits. They just made rash decisions and now have to tear it down, the Beal trade killed any potential. Not to mention Booker being a Player 2, possibly 3 when they needed him to step up to at least 1B

KD's individual stats are still good but the team is awful and worse than that, the team looks like they just don't give a fukk out there half the time

Not sure how much of the blame lays at KDs feet but he's a vet/leader so he can't walk away scot free

Yeah poorly constructed roster and his defense has fallen off.

Guys how are we not talking about this 37 year old player who has had multiple lower body injuries currently averaging 26 / 6 / 4 on 50 / 40 / 80 splits on a team with no real point guard and no real offensive threats outside of 2 other players...

Like...what exactly is Kevin Durant supposed to be doing that he isn't doing?

The team is just horribly constructed without an identity, KD's still doing his job. I'm not really sure how much blame he can/should realistically get.

in the world of hot take culture, we always need to place a blame somewhere to push our narratives. the reality is that the roster is fukking AWFUL, beal is the worst contract in the nba & booker took a huge step back. imagine watching a suns game and your conclusion is that KD is the reason that theyre awful. i said from jump that the suns are completely FINISHED the minute they made that trade for bum ass bradley beal.

KD won his MVP when Westbrook played less than 50 games :manny: that wasn't like a super team.

Prime KD also gave you better defense than Melo could because of his height and wingspan.

I like Melo but KD was a better player.
I agree he's a better player, i just think Melo would be able to win a ring if he played with the 73 win warriors too. and would've gotten to the final if he had harden and westbrook on his team for the early part of his career.
KD did only what he was supposed to do, didn't really exceed expectations

It’s just Bron Stans and Steph Stans that have combined like Voltron. They make this thread once every 3 months.

At a point in the season 40% of their rotation was nikkas that could not function together . Nurkic/Beal/Booker/Jones…Nurkic is out but you still have 3 guards that cannot fit together . It’s gotten so bad that Collin Gillipisie or whatever is starting because he’s fine with getting off ball and getting his points off in the flow of the offense ..They give looks at Bol Bol is search of a spark…That’s how terrible that roster is .

The fact that KD’s game has fit seamlessly amongst that trash is a testament to his greatness

HAHAHAHA

MELO MADE IT OUT
THE 1ST RD 2 TIMES
IN HIS WHOLE CAREER
AND NOW SILLY ASS COLI nikkaS
LET A TATUM STAN BAIT THEM
INTO COMPARING MELO TO KD.

:devil:
:evil:

Exactly KD was in the western conference finals almost every year with OKC but now he a bus rider lmao took his team to the finals at l 23 but he a bus rider lmao. These mfs are unserious af the only time they missed the western conference finals when he was in okc was when mfs got injured. He was up 3-1 on the warriors with literally no shooters on his team partly injured and having ibaka hurt as well. Best player on those warriors teams but somehow they fraudulent rings he didn’t earn

Other superstars like Curry and Bron don't get that same leniency is my point. KD is held to a different standard, unless we're admitting he's not on their level?

Y'all was saying Durant was one of the best in the world, breh can't even keep a team in the top 10 standings when he has another star in Booker. No other supposed superstar would get away with what Kevin is getting away with, dodging all this smoke. Breh hasn't done dogshyt when he's not hopping on the bandwagon of a 73-9 squad.
Because he is not a "threat''


thats all :yeshrug:
