    You Say This as if James Harden and Kevin Durant are GUARANfuckingTEED to Get Rings, Which they Damn Sure AREN'T...Harden, Especially...

    Sorry to Shit on your Wishful Thinking, but Golden State's Margin of Victory was an "Outlier" Performance vs. Cleveland...They'd Do that 1nce in a 7 Game Series vs. the Cavs, Dude...More Important than How HOT Golden State was was How COLD Cleveland Was...They Missed MANY Very Makeable Shots, Period...Hell, it's Doubtful Cleveland's Big 3 Plays THAT Poorly (Collectively) for the Remainder of the Season...

    Just as it ALWAYS Does, the Court SHRINKS During the Playoffs...Open Perimeter Shots AREN'T as Readily Available and Defensive Intensity Ramps Up...When (Not if, but WHEN) This Happens, Shit Will Get TIGHT for your Boy Durant and he'll Revert to Shooting Fall Away 3's (Even w/Defenders a Fucking FOOT Shorter, Guarding Him) like he ALWAYS Does Under Pressure Situations...

    Not to Mention, Golden State has NO True, Consistent Paint Protectors to Speak Of...Griffin, Jordan, the Gasol's, Aldridge, Love, Thompson AND Bron Would All Have Field Days in the Paint, if they Played Golden State in the Playoffs...

    REED Can't Wait til this Daydream of Yours Turns Into the NIGHTMARE it's Destined to Become...And Please DON'T Blame Steph, Klay, Draymond or Westbrook, when Durant Ultimately FAILS to Win a Ring in Golden State...

    If Westbrook was a SERIAL Ref Baiter, REED Would Be 1st in Line Criticizing Him...But Westbrook KNOWS he has Game and Doesn't Have to Resort to Bullshit Tactics to Get His...

    Lebron was going to get the foul call either way, but he was obviously trying to draw a flagrant on Draymond, who is a thorn in their sides. Whether that would have affected this game, or a game further down the line. Don't put it past Lebron to be thinking about baiting Draymond for long term benefit.

    My thing is, I don't see the need to shit one to prop up the other. But Harden and Westy are having MVP caliber seasons, but Harden's gonna get the award cause the Rockets are gonna finish with a top 3 seed the OKC is gonna finish near the bottom of playoff teams. Do I agree with the MVP criteria? Not really, because Kobe CLEARLY deserved MVP in 06 yet it was awarded to Steve Trash simply for the Suns having a better record. Harden getting the award this year won't be a robbery at all.

    Thunder are just not very good.

    Rockets are not going to get very far either. Certainly no further then they got just a couple years ago with Dwight Howard on the team. Likely not as far.

    Having a single player on your team as ball dominant Harden or Westbrook (whether it be by design or by necessity) can only get a team so far. You might be able to ride a player like that into the playoffs, but not much further. Sure, those guys will pile up statistics, but long term it's not a very viable strategy.

    I know people are also rooting for Westbrook to average a triple double for the season, but that only means he's likely doing way too much for this team. The Royals teams Oscar Robertson was on, were very Thunder-esque. Just good enough to make the playoffs and get bounced out. The year he averaged his triple double, they finished 6 games over .500.. Most other season with the Royals he hovered very close to a triple-double. Even when they became better after drafting Jerry Lucas, they still weren't quite good enough.

    "Don't say wassup to that bitch ass nigga!"

    Westbrook after one of his teammates congratulated KD after the game.

    Damn, looks like Westy holds grudges.

    It's Not Even Sooooo Much a "Grudge", it's the WAY Westbrook Is...

    He's a "Ride or Die" Dude...You're Either WITH him or AGAINST Him, No Middle Ground...He's the Embodiment of "Competitive", for Better or Worse...

    Harden's EVERY BIT as Ball Dominant as Westbrook Is...

    Harden AIN'T Winning Shit Either, and You Know It...And By July 2017, You'll Realize Durant AIN'T Winning Shit Either...Can't Wait to See You JUSTIFY Yet Another Durant Playoff Failure, and FINGERPOINT @ Other Members of Golden State, Instead of Actually BLAMING the Guy Responsible...

    Durant...

    The question with James Harden winning a title is: Is he Mark Aguirre or Adrian Dantley?


    I'll let you figure out what that means.

    On that Note, there's Very FEW Old School Players that DISLIKE Westbrook...And he's 1 of the FEW Contemporary Players Old Schooler's READILY Admit Could Play in their Day...

    Call it What You Want...

    Westbrook AND Durant were Up 3-1 on the 73-9 Warriors, then BLEW that Lead...They Got To that Point Together and LOST Together (Despite the Fact You NEVER Hold Durant Accountable for Shit)...Not Only Did Durant Leave, he Joined the Team HE Choked Away a 3-1 Lead To...Forget Westbrook, Most of the NBA Woooooorld was SALTY Over That Shit, and Understandably So...

    CLEARLY, OKC was a CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL Team, w/Durant and Westbook...Given This, Is Westbrook Supposed to Be Doing BACK-FLIPS and HERKY's, Now that his Squad is BARELY Playoff Level, Sans Durant???...

    "You Don't Think we Can Win a Championship Together???...You Wanna Bounce???...Fine, Fuck You..."

    [​IMG]

    That Sums Up Westbrook's Attitude, Regarding Durant...REED GETS it, Completely...

    I doubt it matters where durant left to. durant coulda went to DC and westbrook would feel equally scorned.

    he left, so westbrook is the saltiest of anyone because he will NEVER win a title now. and when durant (in the midst of the best season of his career) wins multiple titles it will become apparent to everyone the reason that their games did not mesh at all.

    You're Fucking CLUELESS if You REALLY Think Westbrook Reacts Similarly, if Durant's Going to DC, His HOMEfuckingTEAM, the Same Way he Did KD's Decision to Align Himself w/the 1 Squad He (Durant) HIMSELF Has Fingerprints ALL OVER Choking Against...

    It was a BITCH Move, However You Slice It...

    That's not surprising. Curry is still far and away the second biggest star in the league behind Lebron.

    But plain and simple, Russ is having a better season than Steph, and should be starting with Curry coming off the bench.

    Kyrie Irving shouldn't be starting either. It should either be Kyle Lowry or John Wall.
