It is also more or less stating facts. The team is poorly constructed and the starplayers all have overlapping skills.

[@Lemonpepperwett]

​@@pinobluevogel6458but KD was the only one that performed in that series. Why is he the only one getting the hate? Are we going to give Nicola this much hate if he gets swept by the wolves? I can tell you now we're not

[@pinobluevogel6458]

@@Lemonpepperwett I think a lot of people still hold some resentment of what KD did by first joining the Warriors, then leaving the Warriors and then leaving the Nets. What also might be a factor with him, is being a bit of a cheatcode, being so long and so effective from range raising over people. If he does that to your team and over your best players, that might frustrate people. I think the most important thing is that the Suns are also a team that haven't had the best record of behaving well, including doing a lot of trashtalking and people just love seeing them fail because of that. They have a bit of an attitude like they are on top of the world, but meanwhile they are simply a very poorly constructed team. For real, I don't like KD either, but I do not hate him or dislike him more than any other player in specific. I think he is a fantastic and effective basketball pro, someone that has had an impressive career and I respect him a ton for that. The main difference between Jokic and KD is that Jokic isn't pretentious. He is simply a hardworking dude that happens to be insanely effective at what he does. No attitude issues, no ego .. just doing his job and for the most part keeping his cool. I think you are sharp to point this out, as that might for real be happening now, but like how I expected the Suns to lose this, I also expect this difference in attitude towards these radically different stars.

Some of the satisfaction of the sweep comes from the Suns arrogance, but a huge part also comes from how the mainstream NBA media downplayed the T-Wolves and hyped up the Suns. They did nothing to deserve this hype apart from having 3 well known players and a franchise that used to be really strong when they were really well constructed with Ayton, Bridges and Johnson. Apart from my teams having to face them at certain points, I also like the timberwolves quite a bit.

With their "Big 3" all playing almost the exact same way, no real defensive identity (when you're relying on Jusif Nurkic and a 35 year-old KD to be the anchor of your defense, you have problems), and a coach that is more defensively oriented trying to guide an offensive oriented team, it's a recipe for failure in today's NBA.

[@PassivesAbseits]

Honestly, forcing his way out of another, selfinflicted mess, won't help Durants narrative at all. The only thing he can do? Accept his role as the 2nd best player on the Suns. Let the GM actually GM and let them get a Coach, that runs an actual offense. You know... like Kenny Atkinson did, before Durant got him fired on the Nets. Think about it: Atkinson and Durant should have won together with the Nets. But Irving and Durant were against this whole "system and structure" thing and wanted someone, that let them play with their friends... Admitting, that this (and giving out massive contracts to his friends, like DeAndre Jordan) was a mistake, would show some actual growth.

[@mattx415]

​@@stevonwhite8933especially with his disappointing season. His numbers went down despite his team not having a clear #1 option

[@TheOriginalPoon]

I was having a casual basketball conversation with my homie regarding Kevin Durant a few years ago. He made the comment that Kevin Durant, role wise, is no different than JJ Reddick in a role player capacity (this was about 3 years ago, and he’s a suns fan so before he went to PHX) I clowned him so hard for that, I thought it was genuinely absurd. Now, a few years later, honestly, I get it. Kevin Durant has been a severely overqualified role player ever since he left OKC. He’s not even a bus rider, he is dead ass the security guard who was part of the team that got Bin Laden but now works as a metro guard He hasn’t led a team since 2016. He’s always been the third option in these big threes because he doesn’t offer anything other than scoring. Don’t get me wrong, generational scoring talent, but that’s it. That’s all he does. He’s not a great defender, he’s not a facilitator in any capacity, he’s not a rebounding presence, he just shoots ball into hoop. He plays a single role, and doesn’t want to be a leader. He is literally a Lou Williams/Jamal Crawford with legendary shooting. I know it sounds insane, but I’ve come around on it

[@urbaindelva7869]

Your friend is partially wrong. Durant was not the third option when he was in Golden State; Klay Thompson was. As soon Durant signed with them, he immediately became their second-best player. He was the leader in Brooklyn, not Kyrie or Harden, which he proved in the series against the Bucks when he basically had neither of them in Game 7 and he nearly got them to the ECF. JJ Redick was mainly used in a catch-and-shoot role throughout most of his career. Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford were both sixth men, and Durant is a better rebounder and defender than them. You said that your friend is a Suns fan, so I wonder if he feels the same way about Devin Booker. Btw, he spent 8 years with Russell Westbrook, who-despite arguably being better at defense, rebounding, and facilitating, yet is bad at shoooting-was less effective as a number one option. However, Durant did have the most success when the roster was built to cover for the things he was pretty good, but not great at: facilitating (Russ, Steph, Harden), defense (Ibaka, Roberson, Draymond), rebounding (Ibaka, Steven Adams, Jarrett Allen, JaVale McGee).

[@winter9242]

He lead the Brooklyn nets guess you're just forgetting about that

[@akshaysundru482]

Bruh this might be one of the most absurd takes I've heard, honestly this is what KD fans think his haters think of him. Because he's never always been at least the number 2 since leaving OKC and his time in Golden State was probably his best all round seasons, his defensive presence and serviceable rebounding literally augmented their death line-up. You wanna say he's done nothing since leaving Golden State and has been overrated, I agree. But this is an idiotic take

[@kyletucker3811]

​@@winter9242I mean sure you can call that leading. Leading them off a cliff.

As a frequent visitor and subscriber of the channel, I've always respected Jacob's opinions, despite them not always lining up with my own. But rarely, if ever, have I seen such a perfect rant that completely lines up with my own thoughts about the Suns. It is so refreshing to think a certain thing and having someone skillfully, decidedly and forcefully stating those exact thoughs in a video. I was mentally high fiving you all the way. I know it's not a thing to celebrate, we should celebrate the Wolves winning and being awesome, but I can't help myself to like seeing this Suns team have an early exit in this way, just because it was exactly how I thought it would go when they faced the excellent T-Wolves team.
