Kevin Durant Signed A One Year Deal Only

tHoop is crawling with waterboys and wanna-be Steven A. Smith's.

The over-analyzing is pretty funny at times.

So bottom line here peeps.. KD has been thrown in the mix of a championship type team or close to. He's going to have to find his role and everyone else's role may be a little different. Most of time in a team sport this is not easy to do.

Takes time to figure that out.

Still on that? LeBron is the best in the league, but KD is the closest thing LeBron has to an equal. If you want to believe that Irving is as good or better than Curry, go right ahead. You will be proven wrong soon enough. Irving is a good player, not a great one.

Well Irving is not the player Curry is now, but he outperformed him on the biggest stage this one time at least.

Wade and bron were better than Kd and curry

Irving and Lebron are still better than kd and curry

How do you know?

yah you gotta give the edget o curry for his total body of work but no one can question that kyrie torched him in the finals- and that at age 24 kyrie irving was the far better player- not even close really. hopefully kyrie keeps developing and getting better until he hits his prime around age 26-28 like curry did.

Sell out would be a good word for it. I was just in OKC and yeah it's a hot, flat, windy mess but their fans are good fans.

Curry is a regular season player...he shines in the regular season...It's easier to make your 3's in the regular season....when the playoffs role around and teams actually play defense he is exposed every time...

Irving was able to step his game up in the playoffs and on the biggest stage...that is what separates the greats, and Irving is just entering his prime

i have to say- in game 1 of the Finals 2 years ago- Kyrie played amazing on one wheel.....i think things would have been very interesting if he didnt injure it further...not gonna say definitively one way or the other---- but Kyrie has always performed his best when the lights were the brightest.

If i was down 1 with 7 seconds left- id give the ball to kyrie over maybe anyone in the league because of clutchness and versatility on offense

So you think Lebron is a coward. Good to know.

Close to a championship type team? You mean that he was thrown onto one

Your posts get worse and worse bythe minute. I would like to see kyrie play through a sprained MCL the whole playoffs. BUM

Also curry had a great 14-15 playoffs, you bum

Its close

yah same situation -- good call!

 

[tlance]

Their games never really complemented each other, but they won anyway on talent and came pretty dam close to a 3-peat. I guess alley oops they threw to each other at times and getting to the rim were on talent too.. But they didn't compliment each other.

LOL. You don't understand how basketball works. They were arguably the two best players in the NBA when they came together. They had Chris Bosh, who was one of the best 4s in the league and a great compliment plus other high quality role players. They won because they had the most talent, but their offense literally devolved into Wade and Bron taking turns at times because they both needed the ball and neither could shoot that well from distance.

If Wade complimented LeBron better, they would have won 4 titles.

C'mon, you do have to admit Cavs/Lebron's fans being aggravated at KD are being a bit hypocritical.

Lebron did the same exact thing, maybe not with the Cavs, but he did it nonetheless.

Not the first and definitely not the last time he'll hear this.

82 games is plenty of time to figure things out.
