Jesus Christ can we wait for the series to be over first lmao
Im so annyoed by all the excuses they're making for kd, y'all literaly yall 4 on this show said denver was a regular season team and had the suns coming out the west but ok lets give kd a pass since he has played well enough
KD is feeling the altitude.
1:16 Devin Booker is on the path to being one of the greatest in the history of basketball..
KD & Booker combing for 60 points is still ONLY 60 points.. It’s Durant & Booker vs Jokic, Murray, Porter, KCP & Gordon…
4:02 smokin joy taylor ! speaking facts & logic
Just another example of how Lebron lives by a different set of standards and expectations than every of single player in the NBA. Hilarious. 🤦🏾♂️
"Kevin Durant always delivers" then why he get swept out in the first round last year?
Marry me Joy ❤❤
5:37 why is this man trynna diminish KD like this.. he’s an all time great PLAYER!!!
How is KD not primarily scorer on the suns🤦🏽♂️ That’s all he’s good for.
Joy always agree with Shady 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I didn’t know KD was an all time great two-way player 😂
Sooo no responsibility for kd ever. Got it
KD gets more excuses then bron & curry & he younger 😂
Of course Ric defends KD 💀 KD hasn’t done anything since leaving GS and nobody cares . Let that be Lebron or Giannis or Curry
Comments smell like mayonnaise 🤦🏿♂️😂
I’m just here to watch shady and Joy Taylor jump through hoops to explain why it’s not kd fault he’s playing so bad.
I haven’t even watched the episode yet, but I can almost feel it in my gut that they’re going to make the excuse that they’ve only played a certain amount of games together and they need more time and the bench and Isn’t that good but none of them had that problem when they was eating it up.
Ricc making the age excuse for KD? but when it came to LeBron age don't matter
Let's be completely honest, and media expectations are absolutely crazy because what did you expect even before KD got their their bench was not that great, I mean the main thing that sticks out to me between the great teams that are still left in these playoffs is that they are absolutely deep, I mean Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are playing outstanding but they're also playing 44 and 45 minutes of game because if they take a rest the Suns have no one on the bench that can give them a substantial amount of points.. I don't know really what more you want him to do because just his mere presence has elevated Devin Booker to an elite level because Kevin Durant is getting double-teamed lots of times freeing up Devin Booker to get open looks and that is why he's scoring and producing the way that he has, but they're not going to win a championship until they get some really decent good core role-players
Joy and Shady been talking all year about KD being "tha God" and "he's Kevin Durant". But will never hold him to superstar standards its so annoying. But kept saying "Why they keep giving Joker all these MVPS when he doesn't perform in the playoffs" even tho his team was injured
Idk why everyone hates on slick, must be cuz they just are angry about his lebron takes, he’s entertaining imo
Ain’t nobody giving Kd a pass, we all knew this series was going 7, Kd will beat them in 7
Joy is my milf an cookies😂😂😂😂
Ric trying to bring KD age into this now is high key WILD. Im not hating on KD but he getting hella passes
Now they haven’t played enough? Everyone was choosing them to get to the finals knowing they had played those many games. Switching up real quick lol
Acho I'm a fan but takes like this let true ballers know that you don't really know the game. 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ Your way better a covering football for a reason.
It’s crazy that no one wanna say they missing CP3. Literally a top 5 PG. He ain’t the player he once was but they miss that leadership, composure, and most importantly … CP3 is a player that when a team gets going can make a play to break the momentum gets you back settled
If KD wasn’t KD his percentages right now would be looked at as efficient 😂 but because it’s KD anything below 52 is bad and it isn’t fair lol
I don’t think it’s KD. It seems like they don’t have enough scoring. Yes he’s a great scorer but he can’t get 60PTS alone with all the coverages; then trying to play Defense and the injuries. Even if the Suns kept that team no one knew what injuries would happen out W. The Suns aren’t winning this year or next year.
Acho thanks for holding them accountable lol all I hear is win win situation for Durant . If he win it’s Durant the best player in the world he loses it’s not because of him lol it’s ridiculous how they protect a top 5 player in the world with a gunn a efficient one next to him
Acho is just a kevin durant hater
