Durant Article

[thunderc]

In truth, Durant was neither the best player nor the Most Valuable Player in the series. That would be LeBron Raymone James, whose numbers trumped even Durant: 33.6 points, 12.0 rebounds, 10.0 assists and shooting 56.4 percent from the field, all the while playing excellent defense. The first triple-double average in Finals history.

Just one in a ton of truths in that article. I guess Jordan could have made that assumption after watching the Pistons go to the finals 3 straight years. Fortunately for Bulls fans being a man prohibited him from doing that.

Lol so the writer is a Oklahoma Sports fan? I don't see any bias or salt at all.

It's a local article sure, doesn't for a minute change its accuracy. National folks saying the same thing.

Westbrook was by far the better player in the OKC/GS than Durant...It was Durant who shrunk in the moment...

Yeah.....I'm not taking you seriously right now.

Westbrook gets waaaay too much of a bad rap when it comes to that situation.....They led that series 3-1 against GS, and Westbrook carried them through much of that series......

And those national folks don't know shit either. You're a bitter OKC fan. Enjoy Westbrook getting knocked out of the 1st round every year.

Stats say differently.

Your trolling is getting tired. At least don't suck dick at it.

Westbrook really carried them game 2 when he had 16 points on 37% shooting and in game 7 when he had 19 points on 33% shooting. If he shows up for either game OKC is in the finals. Not to mention he had 31 turnovers that series.

LMAO, gotta love guys that get so angry over sports debates


The point is Kevin Durant is the biggest gutless coward in the history of American Sports

That really isnt up for debate

Westbrook is a total bad ass who was carrying OKC against GS last season

Dont care that Durants' PPG were boosted by the garbage time 40 he scored in a LOSS

Durant got his title, congrats. Only he knows if he threw another away last year for several years of a stacked deck site thing. If he can live with having the asterisk of being a sidekick next to it so be it. He knows the truth though.

Howd he do in Game 4 with that Triple dime while Durant was shooting 33% ?

Wonderful, I actually watched the series, i dont go back to BBR and throw stats out there as if thats the end all and be all

Durant was shrinking in the 4th quarter of a lot of those games, while Westbrook was taking names trying to keep his team alive

Look, you have made a lot of really good posts, especially when it comes to LeBron.

But, you are wrong here. The major problem in OKC was specifically that Westbrook tried so damn hard. He made the game more difficult than it had to be because he didn't think on the court. He just put his head down and attacked.

When you have an all time great scorer on your team, you can't do that. The half court offense in OKC needed to run through KD and it never did. The Warriors figured that out in about 5 minutes, and they have far better half court offensive players than Russ.

KD got shots and touches in OKC, but most came with all eyes on him in ISO sets. GS gets him the ball in space where he is an assasin. Westbrook could have done that too, but he took too many bad shots and forced too many plays. KD wasn't blameless last year, but we are finally seeing how great he really is now that he is away from Russ.
