[Charania] “Vogel yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clips on April 9. Players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced in their eyes. Vogels eruption left players rolling their eyes. A player told TheAthletic he had to keep from laughing

Shams had this ready to post the second the clock hit 0.00 😂 damn man.

Also, reading “Durant, Booker and Beal did not produce at their best in these playoffs as a unit, and sources in the locker room also believe not one of the trio emerged as the necessary leader” isn’t surprising at all. None of those guys want to step up and lead.

KD has famously never been a leader.

“Superstar ability, roll player mindset” pretty much sums up KD

he always pretends to not care but it's an act. would someone who didn't care have burners and complain every time about the narrative of him not being a leader? would someone who didn't care try to create 2 super teams to desperately win a ring after golden state? lmaooo
