KD and Booker have always played well together, and are now 10-1 in the regular season. KD in particular had a flawless night, as he continues his great season.

wtf are those shooting splits

[–] LeBrown_James666@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kevin Durant

[–] BagRight8939@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

We gotta talk about his defense too. Bro is balling

[–] Unlucr6e34343rer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's top 5 and the best sf in the game

[–] Lacabloodclot9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

KD’s defense is pretty underrated, in terms of star players who aren’t really seen as two way players, KD might be the best defender in that group

[–] Wild-Apricot-9161@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He should be seen as one.

[–] Los_Ingobernablez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

His defense is overlooked like LeBron’s scoring. His reputation as a scorer is so prevalent that people forget he is a legit two way player.

[–] Ambitiouskot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Only casuals calls him a choker, the problem with this sub is the casuals are louder than the people who really know, we ain’t got time to debate the neffs all the time and will rather appreciate greatness

[–] buchanbasanee@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gobert tried to yam and KD threw it back like he was prime Mutombo

[–] Los_Ingobernablez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The yearly KD MVP run until he rest.

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People on here were unironically calling him washed and not a top 10 player anymore over the offseason lol

KD averages 29/9/5 on 60% TS in the playoffs and he's a washed choker

Butler averages 27/6/6 on 56.5% TS in the playoffs and he's literally MJ's son

Did this against one of the best defenders in the league btw

[–] Yupadej@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In a Back to Back

[–] mxgicjohnson@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty good

[–] growsonwalls@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm Kevin Durant. Y'all know who I am.

[–] lakers082433@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still top 5 imo.

[–] ajteitel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

WE DIDN'T COLLAPSE IN THE 4TH!!! RAISE THE BANNER!!!

Seriously, the Suns were 30th in most 4th quarter stats...

[–] cheesecake_face@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

30th only sounds bad if you’re only considering NBA.

[–] ___adreamofspring___@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. We’ve lost 20+ point leads from the 3rd quarter in the 4th countless of times lol

[–] Draelon24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

KD and Booker were taking turns on cooking McDaniels in the perimeter. Unreal.

[–] jwhiteford17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Plays so much better with booker around picks his spots and doesnt need to force anything

[–] CoachDT@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tier 4 player btw.

[–] UltraMoglog64@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn. GG, Suns. Book and KD couldn’t miss, and it seemed like all your role players turned into Curry beyond the arc tonight.

[–] trafleslive@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

B2b games of wolves against 2 day rest for the suns and homecourt.. so there is a big advantage

[–] tarunpopo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kd. Dude is still balling at 35 post Achilles tear. What a baller

[–] Daconvix@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still remember when some suns fans and others were calling him washed when he wasn’t playing well

[–] polarbearstoenails_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

When Okogie is hitting 100% from 3 it's just not gonna be your night.

[–] mercfan3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s amazing - anyone watching the game would have said that Booker was the motor and difference maker - his stats were excellent too..but Jesus that is ridiculous shooting from KD.

They really complement each other well.
