"Durant was predictably brilliant on the court throughout the 2025-26 season, but team sources said his 'moodiness' took some getting used to and wore on the team's young players throughout the campaign, a dynamic that was exacerbated without VanVleet and Adams as buffers."

@LordoftheSquad nobody on earth believed the 2017 Warriors were underdogs. LeBron was up 2-1 on the Suns when AD got hurt and missed the rest of the series. The 2025 Lakers literally did not have a center after the Mark Williams trade fell apart and had to go up against Rudy.

@UnderstanderArt Goofy ass tell us how it wrecks KD legacy when he is injured 🤡
English
If Houston comes back from down 3-0 to win this series, they could wreck both LeBron's and KD's legacies at once. Unreal.
