No They Wouldn't...Because Kevin Durant IS NOT "That Dude"...This Time NEXT Year, You'll Finally Come to Grips w/It...





REED:kidcool:

 

Depending on the Matchup, OKC Could Advance...

They Don't Want ANY Parts of Golden State or the Spurs in a Series, but Houston or the Clippers Wouldn't Be a Foregone Conclusion...





REED:kidcool:

 

steve kerr seems to think he is

 

i dont see them beating any of those teams or memphis. barring late season/playoff injuries like the clippers had last year

 

Yes, "Sting"....

Clearly, You Posted that Link as VALIDATION that your Poor, Widdle, Pwecious Durant Got Fouled by the Big, Bad, Mean Richard Jefferson...Got All High and Mighty Calling Durant "The BEST Player on the Floor"...

THEN, the 2nd Half Began...





REED::

 

That Being the Case, You'll BOTH Learn the Error of Your ways, by this Time NEXT Season...





REED:kidcool:

 

durant was the best player on the floor overall. irving took over in the fourth quarter. but, yes, durant was clearly fouled.

 

It's Almost TOUCHING How DESERATE You Are to Place Durant on a Level he's NEVER 1nce Proven he Deserves to Be On...

You're Speaking as if he OUTPLAYED Bron on Christmas Day, Which is a JOKE...






REED:kidcool:

 

durant had 36 points and 15 rebounds

 

Durant - 36pts, 15reb, 3ast, stl, blk, 11-23fg, 12-12ft, 2-8 3's

Bron - 31pts, 13reb, 4ast, 2stl, blk, 12-22fg, 3-7ft, 4-8 3's


Is THIS Your Idea of Durant "Outplaying" LeBron???...Again, You Sooooooooooo DESPERATELY Want These Hopes and Dreams You have for Durant to PAN OUT, but Dude is Already 10 YEARS Deeeeeeeeeeeep, and they Haven't...

And No, it WASN'T Westbrook's Fault Either...




REED::

 

Shoulda been 38 points for Durant and a victory. Also 5 turnovers for james

 

We're Counting "Shoulda Been" Points Now???::...

Just Because a Foul "Should" have Been Called DOESN'T Mean Durant AUTOMATICALLY Scores, Homey...Fuuuuuuurthermore, Considering he Shot a HARDENesque 12 Free Throws, the Refs Probably Felt as if they GIFTED Him Adequately on Christmas Day...

5 TO's for Bron???...Fair Enough...More "Efficient" FG and FT Shooting from Bron Too, Since You Loooooooooooove Clinging to that Adjective...More Assists, Steals and OFFENSIVE Rebounds for Bron Too...

To Be CLEAR, Kevin Durant BALLED his Ass Off Christmas Day, but YOU're In Such a Hurry to ANOINT his Ass, that You're Trying to Rate it OVER Other Shit...Sorry, but Aside from the 1st Half, Durant WAS NOT "The Best Player on the Floor", NOR Did he "Outplay" Bron...If Anything, Those Numbers Illustrate the Matchup was a WASH...

Can't Wait til Durant Flames Out in the Playoffs, AGAIN, So This Fantasy of Yours Can DIE...

golden state will beat cleveland in the finals if both are healthy.

 

Im not sure why you made this into a thing of james vs durant. i said durant was the best player on the floor out of everyone on both teams. :: more efficient FG and FT shooting from james? they shot the same from the field if you discard the underhanded shot durant was forced to take at the buzzer when he was fouled. he was 12-12 from the stripe.

i also find it interesting how kerr removes curry from the game in defensive situations. durant doesnt come out, irving doesnt come out.

 

If you value defense and leadership, then Walker has a case. But Kyrie's obviously a better scorer than Walker.

Similar with Wall... his argument over Irving would be his better defense and playmaking. Gun to my head though, yes, I probably take Irving. Better scorer, and Wall is often a shaky shooter.

Isaiah Thomas is having himself quite a year. He's an explosive scorer himself, and he's a much better playmaker than Irving. Kyrie's argument would be that Thomas is a horrible defender. I mean, Irving, and Lillard are pretty mediocre defenders, but Thomas can't defend for shit.

Would I pick any of those guys over Irving on the Cavs? Nah. Irving's a perfect fit on the Cavs. They need his scoring, because Lebron coasts during the reg season to save himself for the playoffs and Walker/Wall can't score like Irving, and Thomas more likely gets shut down in the playoffs easier than Irving.

 

Because Chris Fail and Fake Griffin always come up short when it matters, OKC does a chance against the Clippers in a series.

 

Nah, a KD/Irving duo could be very successful. KD's problem isn't the first 3 quarters, it's down the stretch. Irving isn't as devastating a scorer as Durant overall, but he's more clutch.

Butttttt.... there is a problem with that duo... neither is much of a playmaker. So there's the possibility it's a case both taking turns going iso.

 

"Keep Hope Alive", Jesse Jackson...MLK "Had a Dream" Too...




REED:kidcool:

 

And Based on the FINAL Numbers and Score, Not to Mention LeBron James Is and HAS Been the Best Player in the Woooooorld, You MAKE it a "LeBron vs. ____" Thing by Saying ANYBODY Else was "The Best Player on the Floor"...

Durant Played VERY Well, but he WASN'T "the Best Player on the Floor"...




REED:kidcool:

 

Neil Said OKC Would Be MORE Successful w/Kyrie in Place of Westbrook...

1 NBA Finals Appearance & at Least 3 Western Conference Finals...REED Can't See OKC SURPASSING that, by Interchanging Westbrook for Kyrie...

Sure, Durant May have Stayed, Because his FAUX-Alpha Ass Obviously Wasn't Feeling Westbrook's Domineering Personality, but as You Noted, Kyrie ISN'T a True Facilitator Either...@ Least Westbrook Puts Up Playmaker STATS; Kyrie DOESN'T Even Do That...

The SAME Issues that Plagued OKC, and Drove Durant to Golden State, Would Surface if Kyrie were There in Westbrook's Place...





REED:kidcool:

 

Neil is overrating Irving big time for the most part. As I said, talking about him as if he's prime Kobe.

Lebron covers up his weaknesses. His biggest weakness being he doesn't make his teammates better at all.... that's what Lebron does. Without James, Irving would win some games based on his scoring alone, but he wouldn't elevate his teammates much and his team wouldn't get far.

 

'Nother Triple Double for Westbrook Last Night...



REED

 

Nother night of the Houston Floppers bitching and moaning their way to another win over the shitty Mavs.

The NBA has become so pussified.

 

what exactly is that clip supposed to illustrate? Ive seen harden flop plenty of times but that wasnt one of them. he got hit pretty solidly by bogut there, who was moving on the pick

 

He looked off to his right, right at Bogut.......and then ran right into him. Bogut gave him a little oooomphhhh, for doing so and Harden acted like he had a broken nose, with the announcers lapping it all up like kitty cats to spilt milk.

 

bogut was moving. its an obvious foul call at any level of basketball. if you are trying to get around a pick and the screener moves, once you create contact the referee will call the foul every single time. that is how you draw the offensive foul in high school basketball, rec league. whatever. youre grasping with that clip

 

I don't care if it's called a foul or not, it's typical Harden. The clip was in context with the whole game, the link above the clip, and the Houston Rockets taking umbrage that a shitty Mavs team wasn't just letting them roll around the court unobstructed. Acting like Drama Queens after the game, etc., etc., etc............

Also, Bogut got a flagrant on that. Harden knew he was there. He left his man just so he could draw that shit.

 

i dont think it should have been a flagrant foul, but it was certainly a foul. harden was trying to cut under the screen into the passing lane when bogut moved and hit him.

 

It's Harden being a little baby bitch as usual, is what it is. This is what the tiny mouthed, yellow teethed beaver pelt thinks is happening to him every time he steps foot inside the 3 point line.
