then again, I doubt Scoot plays this poorly often
Beal and Booker likely to sit tonight. Their Big 3 would already be up to 3 total missed games. People write the Kings off because we were healthy, and yeah, a lot of injuries are random bad luck. But missed games are also part mindset and chronic health issues. Some of the Kings injury "luck" is attributed to a desire to play and a history of being healthy. Some guys are able to play a lot, and others aren't.

Pretty great game in Milwaukee. That team is pretty epic

Suns are blowing this game…they’ve been stuck on 87 points for over 5 minutes in this 4th quarter

I don’t know…he looked pretty good for 3 quarters but that 4th quarter was some terrible basketball. By both teams.
I don't know that I agree with that. He put up 39 & 11 on 50% shooting even while being the only real scoring threat and while having a poor night shooting from three.
He was getting to his spots and getting whatever shots he wanted last night. I'd say there's a difference between needing to be surrounded by stars and having the ghost of Eric Gordon as your second best player.
Did you pay attention to the 4th quarter when the Suns went ice cold? He spent numerous possessions walking the ball up the court while shooting a lazy contested 3 early in the shot clock. He definitely wilted under pressure. Lebron on the other hand had a poor game for his standards going and then turned it up in the final minutes and iced the game with consecutive hoops.
Yeah, he got tired of carrying an entire team by himself. Happened to Mitch Richmond quite a few times with the Kings too.
I love Durant's game, but I'm not really a fan of him per se. But most guys aren't LeBron. Tough to ask a 35 year old with his injury history to play 37 minutes and be the only real scoring threat. The team was +27 with Durant through three quarters and -23 for the game when he sat.
I'm not sure how that loss is on him.

Agreed. Durant is a killer but the knock still sticks, does he make the players around him better? Nope, never really has.
Agreed. KD is the Suns best player. But Booker (especially in his new role as de facto PG) is their most important player.
