According to [Chandler] Parsons, he feared KD more than he did the Los Angeles Lakers superstar: “There’s harder matchups one-on-one,” Parsons said. “When I was playing I feared guarding Kevin Durant more than I feared guarding LeBron James just because of his ability to score in iso, the way he can break you off. The way you can play great defense, he can shoot over you. LeBron is more passive.”

Do you know who didn't fear being guarded by Chandler Parsons?  Lebron, Durant and pretty much the rest of the league.
LeBron in Miami was doing whatever he wanted when guarded by Chandler Parsons, lol

It’s like Al Bundt reminiscing about his his school glory days.  Maybe with a bit of creative storytelling mixed in there”.

“Tell me about those times you were guarding Lebron, grandpa!”

Death, taxes, & Clippers injuries.

Then you add in all that load managing by Kawhi. Might not even matter come playoff time

If the Bulls were playing the Celtics, they’d have them right where they wanted them.  Nothing makes our team play our worse more than a big lead.

Lol the Bulls actually went on an 18-8 run and cut it to 12. Still a few minutes left in the 1st

Bulls have a really talented team and a good coach. Can’t believe they are under .500

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

This Mavs team is terrible in close games. Don’t know how to finish. Also people give guys like Tatum flack for not always being clutch, but how often is Luka clutch? He’s obviously had many clutch moments BUT he’s also come up short a ton of times too, especially this season in the final minute of games

The mighty Jazz on the verge of losing to the Blazers. Makes that Celtics loss to Utah even sadder.

Kind of weird comment. They beat the kings right after us. And we blew out the kings after that. It was a bad loss, but on the road and they are feisty. Let’s not harp on it. We are starting to play well.

Many of the Celtics losses have been sad this season lol. To the Rockets and Magic 3x? Come on! Nets, Knicks, Cavs in OT? Seriously.

Great, they smoked the Kings. Let's hope they continue beating teams the rest of the way.

Warriors won by 2 at Dallas.

Surely, that 2 points where the Mavs should've supposedly gotten the possession and ball became the difference-maker. Refs gave ball to Warriors, Mavs defenders were on the opposite side of the court and Warriors just laid in an easy 2 undefended lol.

Of course it's the darling Warriors and defending champs that the refs gotta help and protect.

I wasn't factoring in any Kings games; I just saw it as: "Boston lost to a mediocre Jazz team, and the Jazz lost to a fairly bad Blazers team that Boston recently beat by 22, so why couldn't Boston beat Utah?"
