What happened was Durant totally went off, outscoring the Knix 25-16 in the 4Q. He started hitting everything so even tried some 30'+ shots, because hey Curry's allowed to.
It was tricky deciding when to sit Burke and bring Franc back in. Both played well. I was thinking maybe pair them for a couple minutes before shuffling Burke out.
I wouldn't mind a lot of turnovers form a group not accustomed to courttime together. But Knix were just tossing the ball away carelessly. Surprisingly, GSW was too the first half which kept things close.
Vonleh and Robinson competed (even if a little overmatched v. GS)
Who coined "Subpar Mario"? (was that Kam's?) Good going -- it's entered my head. But I want to root for him, so I'm holding back on using it (for now). The guy really needs to lock in.
Otherwise, it looks like the same old Tim Jr ... just with more minutes and touches. He's might bomb in some big 3's, make a few drives, maybe add in a nice cut, and then counter all that with some real bad 3's (was it just one airball this game?), chumpy defense (KD treated him like an orange cone a few times), a few unnecessary fouls and turnovers. He's the definition of streaky. Never can tell when he'll unleash a few terrific plays or have a boneheaded sequence.
Making just 31% of his 3's so far.
Going to be a long season if Tim doesn't make some adjustments.
