You've got to be beyond clueless to think Durant is "garbage" on defense. He was one of the better wing defenders last season. How in the hell did you come to the conclusion that he's a weak link on defense, especially during the WCF when he had time at the 5 and was protecting the rim?
Maybe I'm wrong but okc dropped three straight ...I think they were leading a couple of them games late too...

KD couldn't guard lil Steph a lot of the time in that series... he actually struggled with a lot of the ball handlers on the perimeter...IN WHAT WORLD IS KD A DEFENSIVE PRESENCE?.....I'll wait. KD has been in the finals once and the wcf what twice...that's good, but he doesn't get over the hump because he is a shooter, and instead of honing in defensively he'll go shot for shot with a team. He tried it with GS the last three games and got sent home. The problem has always been even since harden okc has great offensive players that don't go all out on D. Spurs go all out on D, GS aside from curry sometime goes all out on D...when CLE decides to they lock in and dominate. OKC led by KD doesn't have that in em', therefore they lose. They played d for Donovan for the first time and almost went to the finals....but then decided to go shot for shot again...that's kd's dna, he can't help it. It's the reason Lebron always Busts his ass, no defensive presence. So now I'm supposed to believe KD and curry in a starting five together is defensively intimidating...nope:mjlol:. And other teams are gonna eat well too.

imagine durant making all the shots that harrison barnes missed in the finals
cavs woulda lost by 30 every game


proof that you're a casual

Not only would Kevin Durant not be getting the same looks harrison barnes got,

We just saw KEvin Durant bricking jumper after jumper in the golden state series. A lot of the jumpers he was bricking were clean looks.

Durant joining Golden State makes them worse both offensively and defensively.

The last thing golden state needs is another ball dominant player. Adding another ball dominant player would be the worst mistake golden state can make.

KD and oladipo....or chef and klay...

KD and curry need balance for their games to flourish imo. Look, I'm not saying I know it won't work, nobody knows, maybe KD will develop a different mind frame in GS with the success rate and all...but if the past is an example...I see major weaknesses with this move. Just opinions tho

Kawhi Leonard would like to have a word with you
He did alright on Kawhi...but there is a lil history there that I think motivated KD...plus it's easy to d up a guy when the rest of his cast should be in retirement homes. I mean offensively Kawhi almost had to do every thing or defer to green :snoop:...okc shut down Spurs supporting cast and Kawhi was a lone dead duck.

Barnes during reg. season was a defensive problem ...I remember cavs/GS on MLK...the GS team D was stifling...Barnes was a heavy part of that, great as a wing defender...just not so much in the lane or being drove on...KD struggles all over on d...his team helps him like curry

:what:

WTF are you talking about?

KD was having "good" games even shooting like shyt BECAUSE of his defense.
