Damn so that cock sucker delayed the game for no apparent reason? Yeah silver need to ban Joey from ref'ing
After those 2 techs on Duncan that 1 year he should have been gone. How you gonna be a referee with no eyebrows? That means the sweat just rolls in your eyes all game with no filter how he supposed to see the play?
the narrative is gonna be westbrook stole those shots from durant. they're gonna run with it.
anybody who watched the game knows durant didn't even want the ball.
late in the damn game they were setting up that elbow shit and durant straight up told him to nah don't give it to me go ahead and take it yourself.
I didn't say he "plays low IQ ball" I've seen he's playing it now... some of the most low IQ ball I've seen from a star who normally doesn't play low IQ ball.
His all around game was sick all year... these last couple of games ? you would think some mobster has his mom in the basement
Kevin Can be Aggressive... I've seen it.. .especially him wanting to take the last shot... something is "off" right now.. though
I don't think Memphis will close them out tho.
My bold prediction.
My bold prediction.
Because he is the underdog, they let Durant sly with a lot of shit, but sorry he is not clutch at all, when the game is on the line he becomes a strictly jump shooter, and most of those jump shots in the clutch are some of the worst shots you can take.. Plus he has turn over problem..
Hell yea
Durant was in the middle of his shot and he comes and jacks the ball from him to go to the scorers table for NOTHING
Straight fix right before our eyes
Not a bold prediction, especially when it comes to a team that have shown time after time, they lack the ability to close out..
Durant and Westbrook are so good they get this far despite coaching. They get this far despite Westbrook not yielding to the superior talent. Shit, Lebron would be struggling with an unchecked(by coach or him) Westbrook on his team. Replace Pippen with Westbrook and Mike's legacy is in trouble.
he is but he's getting help from brooks.
all tony allen has to do is pick up durant in transition
and if he doesn't all he has to do is keep him fro the elbow of the free throw line on either side.
he doesn't have to play pick and roll
no backdoor
no post up
nothing
just the elbow. shit there are a LOT of defenders who would love to have a defensive assignment like that.
there you go with bullshit. he is clutch. he is allowed to have a bad series based off of the shit he's ALREADY done.
smear campaign ass
Durant plays like Kobe with out the fire and determination, at time he seem too nonchalant and he shoots and plays exatly the same weather they are up by 20 or down by 20.. He seems like a robot at time, this may be cool in the regular season but when there is a sense of urgency and you need him to step up, he is going to give you vanilla with no cherries on the top..

Tell me the biggest shots Durant has hit in his career..
See, now we're making westbrook the villain. Westbrook is the reason they don't get they ass beat by 40.
westbrook is not going to sit back and let the team go to shit. he don't need to be checked he needs to be coached.
westbrook could be the best 2 way guard in the nba. you can't get past him and you can't stop him from going to the rim.
westbrook is not the villain here. you cannot point to a time where durant was demanding the ball and westbrook said no im not gonna give it to you.. cannot do it cause it don't exist.
now you can find times where westbrook is literally dribbling at the top of the key for 13 seconds while durant inches his way to the elbow only to have it cut off and westbrook have the ball in his hands with 6 seconds or less
there's been plenty of that
I've actually seen Westbrook make more efforts to work with Kd... hell.. many times he gave him the ball to take the last shot...
And Lebron... chews into Chalmers... when he goes wild.. He's different now...He's like the "Charismatic tough dude" Jordan would just chew into .... like Kobe..To be fair.. Lebron also has a beast in D wade.. to help with the chewing out...
Not sure I've ever seen KD get at westbrook atleast on the court.. during westbrooks much wilder "past"...
when was the last time OKC won a series against the Grizz
Y'all do know there is a good game on right now tho. Fuck Durant and them they can either adjust or go home, no need to dissect & point fingers.
i don't commit his shots to memory. he was the reason they went to the finals. and he literally beat the rockets by himself after westbrook went down.
and he was averaging and insane 30 points 10 assists and some crazy shooting percentage against memphis last season but with weak ass kevin martin in the game they were no match.
you cannot front on him like he hasn't done a lot. he has and in a short amount of time.
he is stinking up the joint this series. its really the 1st time he has stunk up a series and he's allowed.
Ask the spurs and Mavericks..
At the same time everything you just named does not suit KDs game he's an ISO player. All that you are naming doesn't suit their personnel.
Kd's game is Controlled.. so it does seem like he plays the same ,but this is not true... I've watched him all season.....these last three games are not how he was playing
The mob got his mom tied up in a Brooklyn basement...
Road to the finals....the year they played the heat.. tighten up
Past series have no bearing on this one.
OKC have players who can put you away.
Memphis does not.
Thats why all those games are so close even though Memphis outplays OKC.
Sounds like Kobe Bryant
I'm not making Westbrook the villain; I'm making Durant and the coach Villains. Durant is the best talent and should demand. He should control the flow. Since he doesn't, the coach should advocate for him(through strategy).
Remember the knocks on Lebron for not being aggressive? Remember how he suffered under an inept Mike Brown? Durant doesn't need a Westbrook. He needs pieces and a coach.
Westbrook is a bigger AI.
One reason it's said that Lebron doesn't want to return to Cleveland is Kyrie's dominating of the ball.
Don't get me wrong, Durant is an excellent player, he is just primarily a jump shooter, and as a former baller I know when you play a shooter, all you can do is disrupt his rhythm and hope they miss... When they are hot they are unstoppable, however unlike a scorer a shooter doesn't have the ability to turn it up a notch when needed..
Plus a shooters really believes they can make every shot, this is why they often take such poor shots, them making some of these shots is actually a bad thing, because they get it in their heads that they can do it all the time.

They traded Harden away fam
They should never get a pass for that
I don't even like Hardens game but they need him
it does suit their personnel. pick and roll is the easiest thing in the world to run and they can do it with whoever is guarding ibaka and score every time.
shooting a turn around jumper instead of an elbow jumper is a minor adjustment.
they have the athletes to cut and move
the coach is dead set on iso ball so that is how they play.
have you ever heard him in a timeout? man this dude is saying trust your shot i trust your shot keep shooting your shot...
the coach is the biggest reason they're in trouble and they haven't won it all.
like i always say
you can get away with questionable coaching if you have the #1 player in the world. if you don't? it'll kill you
But Lebron wasn't in the past(KD now). KD has to learn or have a coach that will do it for him. He is lingering in some Mike Brown 2 shit where the team brute forces shit due to talent(OKC has more talent than the Cavs ever did).
Kobe is the opposite of Durant during big moments, KD would sit there and wait for the ball to come to him, good defenses try to push him out of his comfort zone having him shoot some incredible low % shot... Kobe fights hard using pick after pick to get free, his problem is that he is super aggressive and get caught up on superhero ball, instead of being patient and looking for the best shot for the team..
