    Default Why double off Durant?

    I understand Booker is dominating but has anyone ever doubled off Durant and won?

    Seems a bad strategy the past two games...

    Maybe Robert Kiyosaki can help you with that.

    The most absurd thing Ive ever seen was right at the start Gordon doubing Book at the 3 pt line to leave KD open from 3 2-3 feet next to him.

    Thank you. It was like they thought he was Ben Simmons on some plays...

    it's to mess with his head. in game 3 they were doing it and KD got off to a horrible shooting start, something like 1-9.

    I understand but it seems Booker is unstoppable regardless ha.

    Logic to me though is booker 2 pt is better than leaving durant open at 3 pt line...

    Durant either hits a three or drives to draw a foul or create a better shot than a booker contested shot.

    Booker has to run out of energy and miss eventually. Doubling off Durant lets Booker save energy.

    It's not better when Book is dropping 50 on like 75% shooting.
