He's so good he had MVP Russ, MVP Harden and 3 time all NBA defense/2 time blocks leader Ibaka and did nothing but blow a 3-1 lead :skip:



Somebody calling themselves "The Servant" and rocking that hair ain't leading nobody.



All the Durant alts :whew:

  • Russ added PG and Melo to his squad and still hasn't progressed past the first round of the playoffs since KD left
  • Harden was a 22-year old sixth man coming off the bench for Sefolosha
  • If he played in the East where he would've been facing a Paul George-led Pacers, 60 win Hawks w/no superstar, an Isiah Thomas-less Celtics, and a Celtics team led by the likes of Rozier and Marcus Smart, then he'd be in the Finals every single season as well. That's not much of an accomplishment.

You have to also keep in mind that KD is a great defender currently while LeBron is not.



Factuals :manny:
It's easier to be a great defender when you don't have to shoulder all the load on the other end. On top of that it's easier to be a great defender when you have two other All-NBA level defenders on your team. shyt 3 more if you include Iggy.

Low key...I think Cleveland can beat the Warriors in the finals....They have more defensive length than they did last season(Hill,Green,Nance),and more players capable of scoring 10-15 pts(Clarkson,Hood,Hill,Green,Korver,Smith.Love.Lebron)....Clarkson,Hood,and Nance need to get their shyt together.

I mean this year it's definitely true but in other seasons I'd say you could do the same for Bron in comparison to KDs teams.

That team was massively flawed and Melo is washed.

In the 2012 finals Westbrook outplayed DWade and Bosh was hurt. Your excuse? :mjgrin:

Nah he'd have to beat LeBron, and without 2 other superstars, that ain't happening :skip:

He's been a great defender for years and nobody said this when LeBron was playing alongside Battier, Wade and Bosh in Miami.

And why hasn't this worked out for Steph as well? He's got KD to help make things easier for him on the offensive end, so when is he going to make that ascension on the defensive end?

LeBron was a bad defender last year as well when he had Kyrie Irving to shoulder the load with but cool bro :manny:

so kd could get a shytty defensive team to 50+ wins and a top 4 spot to even get homecourt in the first round? nah i doubt it. Ppl act like that okc team wasnt good defensively still without westbrook. I'd most definitely pick this celtics team over the cavs if it was kd and love instead of bron and love. KD would've been bounced first round if his teammates played like brons did against the pacers

Aside from Gm. 1 + his 43 point outing Westbrook was trash. He had Magic Johnson on air calling it the worst Finals performance that he'd ever seen from a point guard. Both him and Harden were awful.



Melo, PG and a peaking Adams > Waiters, Roberson, Reggie Jackson, Jeremy Lamb, Haseem Thabeet, et al.

He lost in Round 1 to a rookie, that tells you everything you need to know about all the "help" KD had.

The 2017 Finals it was three superstars versus three superstars (LeBron, Kyrie + Love vs. KD, Steph + Klay) and we saw who came out on top.
