Is till believe in kd

Or maybe the fact that Memphis have done a terrific job of denying him the ball, cutting down his space when he dribbles and keeping him out of the paint. I would love to see his usage rate these playoffs compared to the regular season. You can't be fouled if you don't have the ball.

Let's not act like instead of trying to actually score on drives he isn't constantly tossing the ball in the air and doing this...

That headline is cold! He is struggling, but c'mon, a bit permature to say "Mr. Unreliable". Series isn't even over.

I thought it was corny and unoriginal.

The few times he has even been able to get close to the rim on a drive he has tried to draw the foul to no avail. But I haven't even seen once this series where KD has gotten to the rim and actually made a layup or dunk on a drive, and don't say because he doesn't do it. Most of his shot attempts are at the rim.

This is Lebron ala 2011 finals where simply he is just sitting out on the perimeter and not playing his normal game. Half to do with the defense, half to do with his form.

Kd looks worn out, hasnt been looking dominate like he was in the regular season. If he dosnt make 2nd round thats a sh1tty mvp season

Durant's lack of strength is a big problem in the playoffs. The playoffs are more physical and refs aren't going to be so quick to give bailout calls.

KD HAS to show up tonight. All the greats overcome come some sort of struggles and if KD wants I be one of the greats he must do the same.

Memphis plays just like most of the eastern conference teams. That grind it out type of game. KD just isn't built for it. His size is why I say he'll never be the best player. Bulk up and that can change.

Maybe his strength is lacking but I haven't really seen anyone on OKC getting to the rack like they usually do, even Westbrook isn't. Memphis has done a great job of shutting down the paint. Only time we were looking good offensively and getting to the paint more regularly was when we went small but we couldn't contain Memphis defensively going small.
