He needed to cover it up with his hands, hold it against his chest, and put his elbows out so nobody could get to it.
That’s why we have Booker. KD will be elite as a 2nd optionJeremyG wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 11:22 amI think it’s becoming pretty clear that KD is past the point of being able to carry a team. And the heavy minutes he’s playing is not helping. He’s too worn out by the end of the game. 1-2 FT, 2 rebounds, 5 TO—not a great game. And the 28.6% 3-point shooting this season is a bit concerning.
And he knows it. Why do you think he's been teaming up with other great players. First Steph and then Irving and Harden and now Booker. Yeah, his 4th quarter production hasn't been great. He needs more help. I still think this team can provide more too even without Book and Beal. Hopefully, this bench will continue to grow with the extra early season time together.JeremyG wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 11:22 amI think it’s becoming pretty clear that KD is past the point of being able to carry a team.

Yeah, when the opposing team jumps on his back and then racks him across the face, he needs to learn he can't trust the referees to do their job, and hold the ball more securely. He probably should have learned this when a play or two before, he clearly got pushed when he was shooting and nothing was called. Good thing he made it(although, did it really matter in the end?). It will be interesting how the 2 minute report turns out. When does that come out again?
You should probably just blame the coach.JeremyG wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 11:22 amI think it’s becoming pretty clear that KD is past the point of being able to carry a team.

It’s just that he wasn’t playing for the Suns before, we as fans have known for years that any call against a league darling’s team is going to be called against the Suns. Opposing teams have been hacking and pushing Durant with no calls during this 4 game span, and his surprised look tells me that I’m correct about my first line. The Suns need to crush those teams to avoid getting at mercy of the referees.In2ition wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 1:01 pmYeah, when the opposing team jumps on his back and then racks him across the face, he needs to learn he can't trust the referees to do their job, and hold the ball more securely.

But if that's the case, then the question would be, why is this still happening? I thought it was supposed to be because of Sarver, according to Donaghy.Aztec Sunsfan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 2:39 pmIt’s just that he wasn’t playing for the Suns before, we as fans have known for years that any call against a league darling’s team is going to be called against the Suns.
