Kevin Durant thinks the Suns need to get ‘comfortable’ with playoff intensity | SportsCenter
Kevin Durant joins us now on Sports Center Kevin first of all thanks for taking the time what got you going tonight in this game uh just I mean we had a good practice yesterday good film session yesterday and guys were just ready to play from the from the beginning what
Did you show tonight beating the reigning Champs on their floor I mean we just trying to get better I don’t know if we’re trying to show anybody anything I think we’re just trying to keep getting better they were missing Jamal we were missing ner so you
Know we just trying to play good ball so don’t you know long as we play solid ball every possession you know we can live with the results some nights you guys do this and reveal how dangerous you can really be in the playoffs and then other nights it doesn’t go so well
What what’s the difference between those nights that’s a great question I mean some most of the time is a make or Miss league and you know we start off slow missing the missing shots that kind of affects our defense a little bit so I think that’s just that’s just been what
We uh how we bounce back is just every single player just continue to focus on the defensive side of the ball regardless of how many shots we missed and I think tonight we did that all of your remaining games now are against teams that are going to be in the
Playoffs how does the schedule like that uh get you ready for the grind of playoff basketball I mean just you know getting this you know comfortable with that playoff intensity a little earlier you know we rather have it this way but we playing against teams that got that are
Playing for something um it’s only going to make us better as a group all right Kevin thanks for the time and congratulations on the win ni appreciate you thank you thank you brother

They not beating the nuggets in the playoffs let’s be honest
Kd is overated😅 his hero ball don't win shidd where he goes the team collapse
Phx can beat them in a7 games if all 3 stars come to play
Mark my words if this team plays well, they stop playing cute (like lose to a losing team is what I mean by that) and the Suns big 3 continues to stay healthy, they will be by far the most annoying team to play against
If suns overcome there schedule, that games will make them more solid as a team
If any team is Capable of running the table the rest of the way,it's the Suns.
Durant & Devin have to step up as leaders & take control or they finished i want the suns win it all 💯
You can't talk about goat conversation when your team is fighting for the 10
Kd plays well against the nuggets on the two way tip
KD like LeBron never averaged below 20 ppg since entering the NBA
