Kevin Durant Averaging 28 PPG While Shooting 57% From The Field

[malbaker86]

it's amazing

all these hypotheticals of what would happen if those 3 (harden/russ/durant) stayed together bein put to rest

all 3 of these nikkas havin they BEST seasons playing apart that 30 for 30 on this season is gonna be flames

I couldnt be a GM bruh, i just couldn't. I say that because all them would still be in OKC if it was up to me.

Presti was suppose to sit those three down in a room and say "tell me what i need to do to keep the three of yall together and its done in a week". You dont fukk up something thats good that you built through the draft

Curry and Durant have yet to show up in the Finals

This narrative is sure taking its time to hang itself. Apart from one game in the 2015 Finals, Curry had a GREAT series - 27.4 ppg on high efficiency and pretty much created all the open looks for the role players - he was literally the driving force behind what they did on offense, even when he didn't have the ball in his hands (he might've only averaged 6-7 assists a game, but he created so many scoring opportunities and open looks through his gravity on and off the ball) - he literally shifted the Cavs' entire defensive scheme. There's a reason why players like Iggy were left wide open more often than not and had 82% of their field goals assisted. Sure he didn't play up to par in the 2016 Finals and could've definitely played better, but he was dealing with lingering issues with his leg/conditioning issues. But I'm not going to hold it against him when he's been great over the last two postseasons, even had a couple of all-time great series to boot.

And on Durant not showing up in the Finals -

30 ppg on 55 FG% / 65 TS% in his first Finals appearance at age 23 against the best player in the world isn't showing up now?

Stephen Curry misses most 3s in NBA Finals game of all time; GSW loses by 2

In one of the hardest to watch games this season, the Cleveland LeBron James forced a series tie over a slumping Stephen Curry and Golden State Warriors team that looked out of sorts all night.

[Johnny Kilroy]

At this point I don't see how anyone can't see why he made the move. The game is much easier for him in a ball movement system. He's efficiently killing while on the team that leads the league in assists and scoring.

Even the haters must acknowledge this.

So the game is much easier when you have a 73-9 supporting cast including 2 shooters you can't double off of? Tell us more.

He's not playing with the same roster that won 73 games sir. We lost a lot of pieces to acquire him sir.

You're not rational, breh. Can't you see that?

What relevance does this have to the discussion? First of all that's only one game, second of all that was the only bad game he had in that series, thirdly I already acknowledged that he didn't play well in that game. He takes on average more 3-pters than every single player that's played the game, so if he has an off-night it stands to reason he's going to miss more than others.

And even with him missing all those threes in that ONE game (2-15), he still shot 38% from behind the arc on 10.8 attempts in that series.

Best "basketball" player on the planet. He literally is "KD" regardless of where he is. The only player in the league that can play iso ball, spread offense, be ball dominant, or play off ball, etc and his numbers will be the same.

Kd's defense has been more important then his offense
