Steph beat the team that swept KD when they were both 1st options.

Edit: Lmao Jimmy Butler played better than KD against the same Celtics despite getting injured in the series and took them to 7 with a worse team.

@Dwight Howard, why did KD get swept by the same team that Jimmy took to 7 (With a worse team) and Steph beat when they were all the first options?
Look at the rosters and get back to me.

He does seem to be diminishing a lil bit.Going into that old man phase of his career.He'll probably still put up 30 on high efficiency next regular season, but when the game becomes more condensed/physical during the playoffs, it seems his body can't hack it anymore.He's not the level 10 blackout scorer anymore.Maybe more of a level 8-8.5 PG13 kind of guy now.

You can't properly address his flaws because you're biased and don't understand basketball. You dudes don't even list flaws it's always some vague bullshyt like "can't elevate his teammates" or "he not a natural leader"...fukk that, cut the bullshyt tell me EXACTLY where kd is lacking on the court without the generic goal-post moving bs.
:snoop:

KD isn't always predictable, but he can be at times with his shot selection. A lot of times he will just settle or try a mid range jumper. You won't see him dribble and relocate as much as Curry, and his ability to aggressively drive at the rim (or his willingness) has never been that strong. He doesn't do it enough for it to break down the defense and cause issues for the other team.


He's never been a particularly great playmaker at all. Even in this suns series, there are plenty of times where when he gets the ball, and he's immediately looking to shoot a mid range jumper without seeing if he can create a better shot for his teammates or himself. Even stuff like off-ball screen setting, Curry and LeBron seem to do this a lot more.

And he can't make up for it defensively because he's never had the defensive impact and versatility of a prime Lebron, or even of Kawhi where you can put him on the other team's best scorer consistently.

His height also can leave him turnover prone against playoff teams with the right personnel.

These are the flaws Durant has.

Is he a great player? Yeah. But these are flaws he has. And they've hurt him directly and indirectly throughout his career
