Obviously Durant isnt above criticism and he deserves it but ? need to stop comparing everything to Lebron. He came in the league calling himself the King, the chosen one, promising championships ect.....he brought alot of that ? on himself
ESPN was dickriding him like they did Peyt Manning before they won a championship got alot to do with it also.
Yeah its wasnt all Lebrons fault the media/ESPN definitely contributed to that as well -
Yeah I think durant bout to feel the criticism
-
If I'm lue I give these ? a lot of different looks but I would do the Miami Heat blitz on those pick and rolls better to give up two's than 3's and force em off the 3pt line hard foul the ? out of em. I think Mosgov got to play as well use all 6 of them fouls

it's time to give KD the business..he's has some pretty good talent around him for years now....
Last time the thunder were healthy(2012) they went to the finals
'13- russ injured
'14- wcf ibaka injures calf
'15- durant,russ & ibaka all injured at different points of the season they miss the playoffs
'16- beat the spurs go up 3-1 vs the best team ever and lose in 7 cuz of the thunders lack of poise they had gs on the ropes in game 6 then went full ?Tommy bilfiger wrote: »Durant & Russ BOTH were jaggin games y'all need to stop blaming one or the other both be careless wit the rock, take dumb shots & go full ? with decision making in crunch time.Russ my man 100 grand but he does a lot of reckless ? on both sides of the ball that hurts the thunder.
Russ does I will agree, but now as i'm seeing the whole picture now, especially this year. Russ been putting in the work, KD aint living up to his hype in them big games...Russ was always suppose to be Robin..but he has stepped his game up more,why doesn't KD get aggressive and have the ball more in crunch time?
I felt like yesterday durant kind of let game 6 criticism affect him he wasn't aggressive enough he's one of the best scorers in the league you gotta impose your will more in a game 7 especially when he saw his teammates were missing open shots.Also durant needs to be used similar to curry,coming off screens,catch n shoot he can shoot and he's 7'0 Nobody is blocking his shots.His usage rate in these playoffs was his highest ever, too many iso's which leads to too many to's cuz durant goes up soft wit the rock and gets stripped easily he's mad careless wit the rock.Durant isnt lebron he can shoot in traffic,has range and can catch n shoot he don't need to be in iso's so much -
Lol the hate lebron would get if the cavs (or when he was with the heat) blew a 3-1 series lead

Russ ball watches and always loses his man cuz he goes for steals all the time.He went under a screen last night on a crucial possession late where klay hit a 3 and opened it up for good for the warriors.
I'm objective even if it's my favorite players these other cats push agendas and stay capin -

2015..is a throw away because everyone was injured. But i see what you are saying...they weren't at full strength. Even though the IC last year was not cutting Lebron any slack when he was missing Irving and Love in the finals..
and i agree with you 100% on your sec. paragraph and how they should of used durant. Dead on. -
Warriors= 2015-16 Panthers
Cavaliers=2015-16 Broncos -

No u hold him to the same standard. And he has had better talent around him.southsil4lil wrote: »Chi-Town Bully wrote: »Is this the year that Durant get the Lebron type criticism for not winning anything or do he still got time

Hypothetically speaking if these Cavs had to make it out the Western Conference, how far do you think this year team goes as is?

They tried to run him off pin downs. Iggy got in his chest and Durant wasn't strong enough to get thru. Curry and klay are quicker with better handles and have the luxury of the moving screen lol. -

The warriors are gonna win game 7, and than beat the cavs for the title.......
I believe okc must close it out in 6, cause if its a game 7 its a wrap i dont
think durant westbrook and company is built for a game 7....
Is GS built for a game 7? They haven't had a close series against a healthy team really.
OKC been in more battles than GS in the playoffs.
Ppl forget they been to a lot of conference finals and a finals. Would have been more if they wasn't getting hurt these last 3 years.
I guess we saw the answer to that lastnight -

i was bringing up russ defense a month ago and the conversation got pushed towards a light skinned 3 point shooter who wears number 30.
it's even more frustrating that russ aint good defensively than steph when he is blessed with the physical tools to be a lockdown defender.
russ isn't disciplined enough -
I didn't get to watch any games in this series but initially I was surprised OKC lost but after reading you guys comments it seemed like OKC reverted back to Scott Brooks OKC. Smh.
They did a great job of sharing the ball and crashing the boards versus my guys last round. I will admit the Spurs aren't even close to having the fire power on offense that the Warriors do but OKC against us looked like they had turned the corner. Then seeing them up 3-1 I thought they would close out the series. One thing is for sure though. Donovon is a better coach than Brooks from what I seen against us alone. He actually tried different line ups and got the 2 stars to actually share the ball versus my guys. -
Russ got a pull up jumper or a drive past his guy n slam the ball off the backboard lay up

If OKC could find a way to somehow afford Mike Conley and move Russ to the 2 that would be a real good look imo.

They'd have to trade kanter and let morrow walk to sign conley.Thunder could of beat the warriors the 3 point differential destroyed them the last 2 games warriors caught fire can't do nothin about that.Durant should sign a 2 year deal with an opt out like lebron and give it another run
They should develop payne more so he can play pg wit russ at the 2 next season -
Kinda funny if OKC won, the talk woulda been "GSW lack size, and so and so is overrated".

Morrow can't get any tick. Kanter obviously isn't trusted by the coaching staff to get productive minutes and payne could develop as the sixth man. If it came down to Kanter & Morrow to lure Conley, If you are OKC you make that move. I feel Durant is staying so I ain't even concerned about him. OKC had that series. A veteran point guard would of cleaned up some of their mistakes they had at the end of games. -
Haven't stayed up in the thread since game 6, but OKC would become a dominant force if they took westbrook off the ball, added a veteran pure point guard who has a servicable jumper and a good basketball mind and move russ over to the 2.
They could also benefit from running more Russ/Durant P&R's.
Westbrook is a pit bull, pit bulls work best when they don't have to think. Everytime things get weird, he goes into pit bull mode, he defaults to it, nothing wrong with it, but he's climbing a ladder leaned against the wrong building. He would be ? as a 2 because his usage would be down. His stats wouldn't say so, but him and durant on opposing wings would be an impossible problem to solve. Plus, starting westbrook below the 3 point line would play to his midrange strength.
Maybe package roberson and another player for a solid glue guard.If OKC could find a way to somehow afford Mike Conley and move Russ to the 2 that would be a real good look imo.
Hell naw, great minds think alike bruh.
