Westbrook had the hot hand. They went with him. I don't see the big deal. I don't think the Thunder blew that game, I think the Heat just went and won it. My two cents.

Ghost act? He scored 28 points.

Durant didn't have his best game, but that has to do with Westbrook have a great game. What was he supposed to do? Take the ball out of the hot hand?

OKC's coach needs to take some blame for not being vocal about the situation following the jump ball. Westbrook should have known the situation, but the coach has to holler and scream that there is 5 seconds on the shot clock as well to make sure everyon is on the same page.

Yup. And Harden has completely disappeared. He and everyone else on OKC isn't getting any calls and it's affected his game tremendously. If they are going to get back in this series they need to realize the refs suck ass and are calling a completely different game than regular season basketball. To go from being the team with the second most free throw attempts in the league to not being able to buy a call is ridiculous. Then when the Heat drive the lane and barely get touched, there is a whistle. Fvck it. I'll say it. The refs have made this series in a mid-term abortion. Thanks alot David Stern. This is the last series I'll bother to watch. Take your smug lookin' dwarf ass and piss off.

I believe he scored 6 points in the 4th. I don't know if that's good, bad, or somewhere inbetween.

Did I even mention Lebron once in the post you quoted?

Pointing out that he is a posing drama king isn't hating. It's being observant. It's not even in the opinion realm anymore. It's a fact.

Beat Lebron down? Please. Take that defensive garbage somewhere else where it applies.

If Lebron and the Heat do win, they will certainly thank the refs for the assist(s).

Your post seemed to me to be a contnuation of this quote...
"Better scorer? Seriously?

KD is the better scorer. Period.

And as you already admitted, better in the clutch.

Better defender? Nope, but he's not a bad one either. He holds his own and his length creates turnovers and re-directs passes.

Passer? Debateable. I think Durant has shown a great ability to see double-teams and find the open man. Much more of a "team-player".

Attitude? Give me Durant.

So yeah, give me the guy that's more clutch, IS a better scorer (scoring title with Westbrook and Harden on your team is just SICK, you can't argue), facilitates more offense for his teammates, and has a better attitude. You can hang out on South Beach with Bron Bron and talk about how much better he is during the summer when Durant is back at Texas with Westbrook, Harden, Aldridge, and countless other NBA pros working on their game."

Just admit it, the Heat are winning because they are better. They are better and Lebron is better than Durant. Really no question about that. Plently of bad calls and no calls that went against the Heat, but you seem to ignore those. That's ok, when you lose and you can't admit you're wrong about something I guess it's all you have.

You are crazy. So now, James doesn't practice during the offseason and Durant does? You just sound like a homer.

You say Durant is more of a team player and I have one stat point to in that regard.

James has averaged 6.9 assists per game for his career, compared to Durant's 2.8. Assists and sharing the ball would be an example of a team player. Durant is not that guy. His teammated may like him and he may have a great attitude, but it doesn't mean that translates into being a team player on the court.

I see now. Sorry!

Take that Black Shipley!

Honestly, they are both great players and probably the 2 top players in the world. I think James's basketball IQ is greater than Durant's and he has had to take on more of burden with the spotlight constantly on him, with this being the first year that Durant has had to deal with it at this level.

Durant needs to become more of a vocal leader on the court though. I mentioned that the coack should have been in everyone's ear about the shot clock only resetting to 5 seconds after the jump ball, but I would bet that if that would have been the other way around, James would have been all over making sure everyone knew what the situation was as well. Those are the types of things that the leader of a team has to be aware of, IMO.

Lebron scores thirty but if he disappears in the fourth he will get reamed....and deservedly so.

Regardless of the cute names that james has, durant is considered by most to be in the same echelon. Therefore his refusal to shoot last night shouldn't get overlooked. The guy is unstoppable, people wanna see that when the game is on the line, not the first three quarters.

Refusal to shoot? You should actually watch the games before you make a thread calling out a player.
