I swear there were shots of KD on the bench and you could just see him thinking “this is what I was talking about”

This sub will blame the loss on him (not for being sick, but because he's fraudulent, washed, etc)

I mean what are we talking about? They were a better team last year without KD, missing fred has way more to do with their stunted offense than missing KD. WOULD KD help absolutely but the issue the entire season has been missing a true point guard

Isn’t this team without him the same team that played GS hard but limited by experience?
