Irrespective of how fans reacted, Durant seemed to have his reaction ready. He shared photos of Barkley and the Rockets, who were also eliminated during the first round like the Nets. However, in comparison, one can say that Barkley’s Rockets with Scottie Pippen and Hakeem Olajuwon were not exactly at their best.
