Kevin Durant to be out 7-10 days after hamstring strain
By the end of it, Wittman was furious. The margin of victory was the largest against Washington this season. It’s no secret that together with Kobe Bryant, the team is having trouble with their game.
“Whenever I feel right, whenever I feel ready to play again, that’s when I’ll play”, Durant said. “We’re just giving guys easy freedom to run and flow anything they want to on offense”. “Without pride or any character”.
“We know what we’re supposed to do as a team”, Westbrook said.
Durant isn’t the only notable player banged up. If you give me 27 minutes on a Saturday, I’ll get you a rebound.
Washington’s biggest problem this season has been their defense and turning the ball over at a rapid pace. Washington’s defense so sloppy in rotations, in isolation situations, and on the glass.
As the usual late-arriving crowd in D.C. (also known to cower in the face of a little bit of rain) became noticeably and decidedly tiresome past the midway point of the second quarter, Waiters hit a 3-pointer. They are 26th in defensive 3-point percentage and a harrowing 28th in points allowed.
After winning the Most Valuable Player award, Kevin Durant referred to his mom as “the real MVP” and it sparked a lot of memes, which, irked Durant according to a GQ interview. Washington is 27th in the league in rebounding percentage.
“Yeah it’s definitely my fault”. “I’ll get it checked on tomorrow and see what it’s looking like after that”. “I just wasn’t in a good position”. If he is out for an extended period of time, it won’t be anything new to the Thunder. Overall the team is significantly showing a few improvements, which would mean a greater chance for Durant to capture the elusive National Basketball Association title. “Like I said, I’ll worry about that when I get there”. “It is disrespectful because he plays for Oklahoma City”, Wizards guard Bradley Beal said Monday. Drew Gooden started in his place at power forward.
Since Daryl Morey has taken over the duties as the team’s general manager, the Rockets have been active in the player-acquisition department, to put it mildly. Their performance against Durant’s team Tuesday night won’t warrant the attention of the OKC superstar after the Thunder treated the Wizards to a 125-101 blowout.
Two weeks into this season, they’re experiencing an identity crisis. “We’ve got three days to find the guys to play that way”, followed the coach, who continued to question pride, levels of pissed off-edness from players on his roster, lack of manning-up, and how there wasn’t enough grit in his morning’s grits. “Not try to worry about the future too much”.
