Funny thing is that I'm guessing Melo or KD are top 2 favorites to get MVP of the tournament. Or Klay jacking threes. It's hard to say because almost everyone has been garbage for long stretches but they have that game that inflates their stats.
I'm guessing he rode Melo because he is the "captain" of the team. Maybe true about Draymond, but it's funny that he seems down. I'm assuming that is because of lack of PT.
They'll give it to Durant. It's hard to argue with that, but he's also been killing us in a lot of ways too. The team outside of Durant is shooting just 38 percent.
I've noticed something about Durant. He actually makes everyone around him WORSE!
He's a great individual player, but he and 'Melo together sucks out all the air from everyone else.
He works with the second unit because he's the clear best scorer on that unit, and everyone else does the dirty work and defends very well. That's why I was in favor of playing him more with that unit.
I think when he was on a team with LeBron and Kobe, they can mask some of the deficiencies better. But not with this team, they're not good enough to do that.
It's kinda been on his shoulders, and he's a pathetic leader, frankly.
