Kevin Durant and the Suns for now click. But Phoenix’s newest player still hasn’t set foot in his new Arizona home at the Footprint Center. Tonight in the game against the Thunder, KD makes his home debut. For the concerned, the hype is at its maximum.
Since Kevin Durant recovered from his injury and played with the Suns, everything has been going well. Three wins in three games, away where KD quickly showed who was boss on the pitch. We obviously think of this shot in the very last seconds against Dallas among others. But for the moment, the strong winger didn’t experience the Footprint Center vibe while being part of the Suns Nation. This will be the case tonight against OKC. Match scheduled at 3 a.m. for those who stay awake and want to feel all the emulation around Mr. Kevin Durant.
“I’m happy that I was able to play a few games away to familiarize myself with the game because I know there will be a lot of noise inside. I know they are looking forward to seeing us on the pitch.” –Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant quickly resumed his cruising speed in the field. He left us with a stat line and crazy percentages with the Nets. New team and no problem for KD the chameleon who adapts everywhere very quickly. On these three meetings with Phoenix, we thus observe 26.7 points at 69% shooting and 53% from distance, 7.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 blocks, with the extra clutch. The KD starting pack, rather practical for a franchise that aims for the top of the league.
But without wanting to scare fans of the Suns, KD and the home debut … it’s not too much. Now that he has worn the jersey of several franchises, we can begin to judge his performance in this type of situation… From his young years in Seattle then the following year at the Thunder, two defeats. When he left to form the superteam among the superteams at Golden State, the same defeat scenario, the heaviest of all (29 points). Fortunately, his debut at Barclays Center after a year off was better with a victory against the Warriors in reconstruction. Tonight’s back-to-back game against the Thunder without Shai should go well, on paper at least. The Suns are favorites, but who knows? A heat stroke from Josh Giddey and everything can be turned upside down.
