Why does Durant have 13 turnovers in two games of these Western Conference Finals? In part because he's trying to pass over and dribble through four sets of hands.
Durant and Roberson played together for less than 14 1/2 minutes. During that time, Durant committed six of his eight turnovers in Game 2 Wednesday night.
This isn't the Class 3A regional tournament. This is the world's highest level of basketball. You can't let teams get away with playing gimmick defenses. Which is why Billy Donovan must use this three-day break to counter Kerr's brazen defense.
When the series resumes Sunday night, tied 1-1, Donovan either must have Roberson ready to make Golden State pay for using Green as a rover, or must play Roberson less.

What's kooky is that Roberson's offense hasn't been awful in this series: in 36 minutes, Roberson has 12 points, on 5-of-8 shooting, 2-of-3 from 3-point range, one turnover. Not half bad. Going back to Spurs Game 6, when Roberson had 14 points, this is his best three-game stretch of the season.
Roberson is not half bad on corner 3-pointers. So how is it that against a team that's not guarding him, Roberson has launched just two corner threes in this series?
Perhaps Donovan needs to get Roberson in the post. If he's standing under the basket, the Warriors darn well better guard him. That would infringe on Steven Adams' territory, so maybe Roberson needs to play more with Enes Kanter on the court, since Kanter can spread the floor.
Perhaps Roberson needs to run the baseline more. That Golden State defense at times looks like a 1-3-1 zone, which hasn't been in fashion in probably 40 years, but the vulnerability hasn't changed — the baseline is left exposed. Roberson has tireless energy. Run him along that baseline like a dog chasing its tail and see if a Westbrook lob for a dunk emerges every few possessions.
