when KD and kyrie were out recently and it was just harden, joe harris, and a bunch of rotation players that weren't hitting open 3s you could see how frustrated he was. he was doing everything, playing a ton of minutes, and his team was still losing. he looked like he was thinking, "i can't believe i'm back to this bullshit already"
