That’s how Monty had Bridges play.

Bridges was very active off the ball.

Durant is making the choice to pass out of those spots and pick up his dribble.

Bridges has even said, he wasn't aggressive, not because he wasn't told to be, but because he was defaulting to other guys.

Durant is either choosing to play like this or he is struggling to get to his spots.

He is shooting great, he is doing a good job of facilitating, but the lack of big numbers isn't the system.

A standing still Ayton doesn't cut it. They need to use him as a slasher.

Ayton - watch what Durrant did it watch it 1 million times

I'm starting to agree with Eric.

While Ayton is big and strong and fast for his size, he isn't explosive. You never see him blow by people with a quick burst. He just plays slow, especially on offense.

Chris Paul dressed as Cliff Paul in that post game presser.

Not even close to a natural athlete. If he applied Duncan like work ethic, he'd be unstoppable.

Ayton is so soft. My gosh. I just wish he could put it all together.
