Admit it. Go ahead. It’s OK.



In Monday’s loss at San Antonio, as the Warriors offense sputtered and victory crept towards the Spurs, you wanted more Kevin Durant isolations. You wanted him to take over, bail out the ice-cold Splash Brothers and keep this streak they’re on going. Truth is, he should have.



But guess how many isos Durant had on Monday? Three.



That’s why Monday’s defeat was a pretty accurate microcosm of what seems off about the Warriors this season. The common, easy, Dubs fan-approved explanation is too much iso for KD. That reason is exaggerated.



James Harden leads the NBA in isolations per game with 16.8. John Wall, before he got hurt and knocked out for the season, was the next highest at 5.5 per game. Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul average 4.9.



Guess how many Durant averages: 4.0. That’s up from 2.5 in 2016 (and 3.5 from last season). So, we’re talking not even two possessions...
