Mate this was the first time he hasn’t. So much better than last game, he was really good

I honestly feel just fine about how Dante has played. Reintegrating an injured player at this point and getting his leds under him and the rust off is NOT easy. He’s been given a solid role and is holding up fine in limited minutes. Doesn’t hurt the team when he’s out there. That’s something at this point in the year. It’ll get better from here. I expect him to be a plus player for the playoffs.,

Klay aint no alpha, neither is KD or Steph. Draymond is their Alpha dog.

Nah. Dante stayed in front, he just made 2 tough shots over him. He turned him away once ir twice also.
We are not winning a title this year. Let DM do his thing, watch tape and learn.
I guarantee the 4Q performance is going to give him future confidence no amount of tape watching will.
A summer with the staff, he’s gonna be scary next year.
In the meantime chill out and enjoy this rookie experience. I guarantee if everyone knew on draft night Hefner be averaging 20 ppt this year they would have been partying.
We all see how good DM has potential to be, but man... some of you clowns expect him to act like a 5 year vet his rookie year. Obsessive compulsive perfectionist. I’m just enjoying this ride... entertained every game, love the fight, can’t ask for more!

Dante has great speed and recovery. He doesn't have great instincts. He gets beat off the first step and off balance, yet still is able to recover and get back in front of his guy. If he develops the defensive instincts as he plays, then he can be a great defender. As is, he is just decent-pretty good.
LOL. The second and third best players in the NBA aren't alpha's?

KD is the ultimate lap dog. Couldn't handle himself around a true alpha in Westbrook. Klay is the 3rd guy... what "alpha" has ever been the 3rd guy?? They dont roll like that.
Steph... its tricky. I dont consider him an alpha though just uber talented.
KD gave up 3-1 lead
Steph gave up 3-1 lead
Nothing they do screams alpha to me.
He has had great moments in every game(only 4 so far, right?) but let's not act like he's nearly where he'll be later... definitely deer in the headlights at times in the fourth quarter.
Part of it was conditioning and part of it is just getting used to playing with these guys at this level after missing the whole season.
LOL. You serious?
KD was always a better player than Westbrook, as good as Westbrook is(4th best player in NBA over the last 5 years behind KD and Curry). Alpha isn't the guy who puts up the most shots or handles the ball the most. The best players are always the alpha's. That's why GS has four alpha's.
Of course Westbrook is an alpha. So is Donovan. And Harden. And a lot of other guys.
