Durant was an ironman for most of his career and was the National Basketball Association most valuable player in 2013-14.

“Well, it looked like we did not believe that we could win to me”, Wizards coach Randy Wittman bluntly stated, following their largest loss of the season. I guarantee it. If you give me 27 minutes on Saturday, I’ll get you a rebound. “And that’s what it boils down to – 50-50 balls; the dirty stuff”. “I thought we did a great job of sticking together”. And that’s on me.
Late in the first half, Thunder superstar Kevin Durant suffered a strained left hamstring and didn’t return the second half.
The Thunder missed the postseason without Durant a year ago, but have shown how strong they can be when healthy.
We knew we had to come out and play the right way and not be relaxed.
“They’re trying to get a lot of guys here surrounding James”, shared Durant, referring to the rumors that the Houston Rockets intend to add him to their roster, according to Houston Chronicle.
Isaiah Thomas scored 20 points to lead the Boston Celtics to a 99-83 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
“I’ve been dealing with the back a little bit during training camp”, said the 37-year-old Bryant, who just this weekend was saying he wanted to play every game he possibly could in his 20th and possibly final season.
“It’s definitely my fault”, Gortat said.
Asked whether he heard the fans booing, Durant laughed. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s a part of the game”. I’ve got no explanation. “I just wasn’t in a good position”.
Chris Bosh scored 30 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the Miami Heat downed the Los Angeles Lakers 101-88 at the American Airlines Arena. But after seven games, the Wizards (3-4) are nowhere close to the 50-win pace they set for themselves, and three straight double-digit beatings is cause for alarm.
If we want to put that game in a pot and boil it-the famed “what it boils down to” Wittman phrase-then we would be graced with witnessing this remnant of a lineup (in the first quarter!): Ramon Sessions, Garrett Temple, Kelly Oubre, Drew Gooden, and DeJuan Blair. Just got to get back.

Wall dismissed as an “excuse” the notion that Washington’s increased emphasis on up-tempo, small-ball play this season is leading to the problems on “D”.
