44 win pace wit KD. 12 win pace when he was out only team they beat without him was a injured Jazz team worst team in the league and they needed a miracle Grayson buzzer beater to win that one in OT. Other win was Wemby less Spurs in the last week of the season when season was done. It not a stretch to say KD had the worst supportin cast in the league this season them nikkas couldn't do anythin.
It's just fun to people to pile on KD. Especially now with Houston red he's completed the Shaquille O'Neal taste the rainbow side quest
But if we're talking ball his numbers still show elite, idc the age. The impact talks didn't get started until Bill Simmons, then people watched the W-L record on a dysfunctional team and blamed him totally, Suns fans especially. Except numbers also show they were the worst team in the league by far without him, with Booker & Beal
People talking shyt have been waiting for the fall for years "he's 33, 34, 35 he's only got a year left..." the wheels haven't fallen off yet. It's obvious we're not talking about an avg 37 yo. He doesn't have to be GS KD or even BK, with the depth the Rockets have he just needs to make tough shots and be the focal down the stretch. Numbers still show he can do that, until they don't, you do this trade if you're Houston. Maybe people get what they want and the numbers dip a year from now or maybe KD goes out still a bucket and Rockets finally win another one, we'll find out.
