He had half the plays off with Westbrook on the team. How will that change now?

Man, KD on the Spurs would have been ridiculous on defense. Danny/Kawhi/KD/LMA would have been nasty.
Yep...however he would have had to work for a ring.

gs does not need to depend on him scoring

Durant could be but I think without a shotblock behind him Durant d

Ten years in he becomes a lockdown defender?

Re: Coach Nick Says Durant can be a "Lockdown Defender as Good as Kawhi"

Slop the warriors and get more views. Easy as that. Dude is a sell out.

Durant will take over Thompson's scoring role. You're kidding yourself.

Re: Coach Nick Says Durant can be a "Lockdown Defender as Good as Kawhi"
He is a good defender when he puts his mind to it. Not sure I see him being on Leonard's level though.

Re: Coach Nick Says Durant can be a "Lockdown Defender as Good as Kawhi"
That's one scary ass thought, on da downstrole. Niggz showed what he's capable of defensively against gs.

Re: Coach Nick Says Durant can be a "Lockdown Defender as Good as Kawhi"
He had like 10 seasons to prove it, bullcrap.

Kevin Durant is nothing more than the Peyton Manning of the NBA. A mentally weak choker who puts up cute numbers, wins a regular season mvp, but folds when it matters most. This also includes his "lockdown D." He is mentally soft. Stephen Curry also shares the same exact identity with Peyton Manning, as well. Amazing numbers, amazing shots, fun highlights, tons of fans, tons of hype, but will fail when the ultimate pressure moments arrive.

Yeah, Jeff Van Gundy was on the same stupid shit on the Vertical Podcast with Woj. His knob slobbering got so bad I had to cut it off midway through.

Instead of choking, Durant may have tanked to ease his move to the Warriors.

They are all puppets and media darling team lovers, they all act like a bunch of teen fans or groupies jumping on to teams with no mind of their own. It's actually funny to see grown men act this way.

Manning actually won a ring in his prime though but decent example. Those two are exactly what you said and fold like a tent when it matters.

Re: Coach Nick Says Durant can be a "Lockdown Defender as Good as Kawhi"
Defending takes a lot of energy out of you ... I doubt Durant could improve his defense without sacrificing on offense
BUT being as good as Kawhi on defense? :lol cmon Coach Simon ...

Manning was carried to a ring in his prime. 3 tds and 7 ints in his other SB run. He was shit during that 2007 postseason, and his defense carried him to that ring as well.

Still though he got a ring unlike those others. I know his stats were bad in those playoffs so that part is right, great great regular season QB but in the post season fell off and had mediocre to at times bad stats and that is just a fact. I can't argue that point there and I am a fan of dude.
