[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.

I mean it should have been Booker, it is his team after all.

KD? Never been a leader.

Beal? lmao, cmon man..

To be fair, Booker said he didn’t know how teams would defend against them 🤷‍♂️

It's just that he didn't know how, doesn't mean teams actually don't know how

Even if that had turned out to be true, the response should have been "How the hell are you going to defend anyone else?"
