In hindsight KD making deep Western Conference runs with Yung Sabo is incredible

[Illin Degenerate]

hes clearly much worse now but the pro kd leaving argument would be was he ever good enough as the only other all star on your team. or that kd shoulda stayed because they were close to getting over the hump. it was always headed this way with russ, he cant shoot and he turns the ball over. he cant be a starting role player.

@DillaTUDE

You given up trying to tell lies now?

 

[CHICAGO]

He's having his worst efficiency scoring season since 2010.

You can stop with this transparent bullshyt now.

HIS EFFICIENCY HAS BEEN TRASH SINCE
AD WENT DOWN.

We can officially stop with the revisionism that is this thread. KD never had to play with this version of Westbrook.

 

[etrofllenrod504]

Wait, that’s why y’all call him Sabo?

I can’t with y’all nikkas omg

Yup. Best nickname next to struggle cuts.

Russ after KD dipped / without KD

8-21 playoff record

Missed playoffs in 2015 with KD hurt

Never got out 1st round in a full series - came into OKC and Houston series in game 5 and almost choked the series away



Upset in 2 straight years rd 1 as the favorite and had homecourt against Utah and Portland when he had PAUL GEORGE a top 10 player and All NBA wing replacing KD

All time sonned by Dame in the biggest MVP emasculation we seen ending his OKC chapter

Sonned by rookie DMitch and was getting slapped around by Ricky Rubio who was droppin trip dubs on his head



About to miss playins with Lebron and AD

Probably worst player in top 75 beside some of em old cacs and much better players ain't make it in

What KD was able to do with Russ as his running mate and no spacing in a stacked af conference Lebron tried to say "y'all sayin my man can't win? Bet" and ain't even gon get a top 10 seed and miss playin and he got AD, Melo, Dwight, Monk, Bradley too

Never rely on a man who wear skirts and can't grow proper facial hair by his 30s

This is what happens you drown yourself in revisionism, it ends up smacking you upside the head.

It truly is fascinating how many people "forgot" that Durant has weaknesses and has had poor series showings before...

 

[adexkola]

This take was always revisionism.

Take it from a Grizzlies fan who's team was engaged in numerous playoff contests with the Thunder: Russ wasn't this obstacle to Durant.

That series that Durant was tagged as "Mr Unreliable" by the OKC paper.. it was an unfair tag no doubt, but that series showed a lot about Durant. Have an excellent defender (Tony Allen) denying him his spots, and he won't be able to shoot through it, or punish you with passing, or blow by the defender. His percentages tanked. They scraped through in 7 games but had Z-Bo been available, who knows...

Another series when Russ was out with injury, we beat them in 5 games enroute to the WCF finals. Durant wasn't horrible but again it shows the importance of Russ to that team.

The series against the Warriors where they choked a 3-1 lead, that wasn't solely on Russ. It was bad coaching by Brooks no question, but it was also diabolical shooting from Durant.
