Where did I say Kd is not paid around the same.
They both missed shots. They are both paid handsomely. At least Kd went for it, decided on his move and made an attempt. Beals decision was even more frustrating.
Again, show me where I said something from your perspective. I don't get why you're so defensive. I can reply and agree with the vast majority of your take. Like I said, it's a discussion.
They did both miss shots. Both went for it, both came up blank. The difference to me is Beal hit shots in the 4th prior to that moment at the end.
It's fine if you view things differently. I'm not putting words in your mouth. I said initially I don't fault Beal as much as KD for this L. I didn't give Beal a pass either as it was a dumb play by him but I understood why he did it after the phantom foul he was called for. He was looking to play savior, IMO.
Just because it comes down to the final minute or possession doesn't allow us as spectators to look back at bad plays all night that let it be it decided in that final 30 seconds. We could have run away with this one if KD didn't have more turnovers than every other Sun combined. Take back half of those and we win.
