Can he 'buck up', and create some opportunities for Durant and Harden? Get the offense running, and there will be opportunities and wins, and playoff 'shine'.
Steve Nash has his work cut out, agree with you on Kyrie's leverage. Just cannot see these three coexisting,.mainly two being Hardin and Irving as Durant is superior to both.

How do you divide one basketball into 3 superstars?

I have love for Kevin Durant, as he carries on some of the tradition of the DC-Area basketball culture.

He's almost 10 years younger/after the time I experienced, but it is still evident in his style of play.

I haven't seen it recently, and things have changed in DC and the surrounding areas, and the culture has changed (instead of masses of young men with NBA dreams crowded at the big reputation courts, you have the prospects in AAU type leagues, and the others on their cell phones or social media stuff).

Len Bias, Steve Francis, Allen Iverson, and many more...

Baltimore dominated during the Dunbar era (with the greatest HS team ever relative to era)

and then DC-Area had a big run.

----------------------------------------------------------

blah blah blah

Anyway Achilles injury of Durant is still a significant concern

Harden harbors some ego of wanting to show Durant that he was actually the alpha in the making from back in the OKC days, and he's undisciplined, but he's a wizard on the court and can manipulate the rules/refs/defenders at will...

Kyrie needs to buck up...


this team could be a Champion or something like the 76ers have been lately

Joins Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Now signed a physically-aging Blake Griffin as well.

Pretty cool roster Now
  • HARDEN
  • KD
  • IRVING
  • GRIFFIN
  • DEANDRE JORDAN
  • DECENT BENCH/alternate starters

not sure if Blake Griffin is still fit and effective enough to start, or get a bunch of minutes even if he's playing well, before playoff time.

Also, I think I'm the last person to realize how similar Kyrie Irving's game is to the entertaining NY-Point Guard "Rod Strickland".
