Laker's vs Thunder Series Thread

From what I've seen from Durant, I have to agree with Garnett, he don't drive off the dribble enough to be going to the line as much as he goes. Most of his fouls he gets must be from pitty pat jump shot fouls.:smh: And that shit is mad weak.

well you have only seem limited action of him so don't judge it from that. you can't proclaim from that limited sample of his body of work.
he would not be getting jump shot foul calls this early in the nba getting to the line 11 times a night every night.
come on man be real.
garnett was mad because his old ass can't guard him anymore. he see's durant and wishes he was 21 again, like durant is.
durant hasnt even reached his peak offensively or defensively. he still has years to figure out this nba game. he goes to the cup despite his wire frame and if the game is called evenly he forces you to foul him.
game 1 the game was called evenly and everyone that guarded him was in foul trouble the whole night. its what he does.
 
You say you disagree then make the point I alluded to. Green is a SF being forced to play out of position which is why he's going to have to be moved for the team to improve in the front court.

OKC will be a player in this summer's free agent frenzy so it'll be interesting to see if they are able to land a PF to help take them to another level.

I disagree with them not going in further with Green and Durant on the same team. I just think Green and Durant are young now. You give them a year or two? They're going to be dominant. Still young guys. You put a offensive threat on the Thunder and Green being out of position becomes irrelevant. But right now the Thunder are suffering with no offensive post threat.
 
Re: Thunder Series Thread

i don't have as much problem with jeff green as i do the euros inconsistent thabo sefolosha and nenad krstic.

I think Green is a decent player but it seems as if him playing extended minutes with Durant is redundant, considering Green isn't a strong rebounder or shot blocker.

I agree with you on krstic, it's a travesty every time he hits the court.
 
Scott brooks threw this game away. He sat thabo until collison got fouled out, the result = Kobe scoring 19 points on jeff green. Thabo had Kobe Taking bad shots in the 1st 3Qtrs, and he doesn't go for the Kobe's pump fake, like Green was, made Kobe shoot alot of Free throws. :lol::lol::lol: @ Lakers being Blocked left and right, never seen a Team block that many shots in the Playoffs. :lol:
 
Artest being physical is the reason why he is playing like that

He does drive to the hole but Artest has him by 50 pounds and its getting in his head

He has to stay aggressive

My point isn't that KD sucks, it is he aint no Kobe or LeBron, btw how did mr Artest fair when he tried to get in their heads and play physical vs Kobe and LeBron?

True, thats why I put it out there, maybe he will prove me wrong, but form what I've seen so far, he is a lot closer to Dirk than Jordan, Kobe, or James.

Durant will have to hit the wieght room this Offseason, otherwise teams will own him in the Playoffs every year.

that the only part that i give thabo sefolosha a pass on (not for the game, but the season).

that poor SOB doesn't know if he's coming or going half the time.

hard for a player to find his role if his minutes get fucked with like a roller coaster.

KD recently admitted to not being on the level of Kobe and Lebron, and I dont think anyone here is saying that he is

This is a learning experience for him and the rest of that young roster, they are playing hard and need some help in the paint

Jeff Green is a good player but he is not a PF and Kristic is decent at best

fair enough
but he's ahead of dirk considering how short of a time he's been in the league. look at it he's 21 the youngest scoring champion ever
not jordan
not kobe
not james
durant
 
Why is it that when a player has a sweet jumper like Durant, Ray Allen, or Kobe...mufuckas label them WEAK? That's the core element of being a good basketball player. Just because you can dunk over mufuckas don't make you HARD!! Just means you can jump high. I like the Thunder, and I was hoping they wouldn't have gotten that 8th seed cause they would have reaked havoc on some teams out West, but I think the Lakers are just too much for them in a 7 game series. Durant is silky smooth with his offense. He ain't the NBA leading scorer this season for nothing. And he's in the hardest Conference!

I think that is part of the problem, he has enough skills to take it to the next level, he just has to work hard at it, and see start seeing himself as that guy.
yeah.. but then that drags it right back to tha officiating.. get physical with Kobe or LeBron = foul trouble.. get physical with Kevin Durant = just 2 fouls and a win.. something ain't right
Your not going to get those cheap fouls in the playoffs if all you do is sit around and shoot jumpers. He should realize this by now and adjust his game accordingly.

Agreed KD game is better than Dirk, but still their style of play is similar.

:confused::confused::confused: I hope you aint comparing durant to Kobe/Carmello or Lebron ?.. If durant has to be a superstar he'll need to find another weapon, because Artest right now is writing the Script for defending him. The trips to the Freethorw Line will get lesser and lesser as he gets older. And if they are going to play him physically, he better add some weight to be able to beat defenders otherwise he will be shut down in the playoffs every year.

I never labeled Kobe as weak, nether was Allen when he was younger, but Durant and Dirk are weak. Put it this way, if you were to put Iverson heart in Durant or Dirks body, they would both be a beast!

Here's the thing about me homie. I'm not into the comparing one person to the next. I was giving EXAMPLES of pure shooters. See that's where you niggas on this board start sounding like BITCHES!!! Always gossipping about WHO is LIKE WHO!!!! The nigga Durant got fucking GAME!!! point blank period!!!! He's a offensive monster because of his shooting ability and length. That's all that matters, All the superstar players in the NBA have individual talent that differs from the next. You niggas need to stop living in a BOX and start thinking for yourselves. You can't even give a star player in the league his props cause your lips are soo stuck on LBJ nuts!!!

:lol::lol: :lol: You are stupid, why get emotional though ?? It's a basketball discussion dude, ok, Durant is a good regular season scorer, now you Happy ?? But the playoffs are a different monster, Can't you see how artest is fucking with him ?? or you are too blind to see that?? Don't you think other teams are watching ??? :hmm: Like i said, Ron Artest is writing the script on how to defend him, every team will pick up on it. Now tell me what will he do when he faces the same kind of defense ?? He'll have to change his Game or his fans(you being one of them, will soon turn on him for being bumped out of the playoffs every year, just like mcgrady fans).. :lol: you are really stupid.

Nigga, you're talking about Ron Artest!!! The best one on one defender in the league!! Ain't no script, that's what he does. You can't similate that with just any player you dumb muthatfucka! And he still knocked down 32 pts .Now who's the stupid one?

Sure he got some game and he is a great scorer, but if you can't crash the boards at 6'10, can't post up or effectively drive strong to the hole, sorry thats weak.

Man he is probably about an inch taller than Lebron

He grabbed 7.6 boards a game and Lebron grabbed 7.3 so thats a wash

Hell he even has a slight edge in offensive rebounds

Has often does Lebron post up? honestly??

Lets not actlike Lebron is Charles Barkley in the post and on the boards

Where was those big rebounds vs the Lakers? :smh:

James posted the shit out of Artest to the point that he got frustrated. Another difference between Kobe, James and Durant, is that you dont have to double Durant, just play him tough and try to get him out of his jump shot rhythm. James dont usually post, because he is usually doubled there and once that happens he gives the ball up to the open player.

Also the Cavs as a team shoot for a very high % so there are much less rebound opportunities for James.
