Obvious Russ was holding KD back

[Point Blank]

I think it's more about the style of play....them two goin ISO wasn't gonna cut it....OKC vs CLE last year definitely wouldn't have gone seven

They were forced to play ISO ball because their role players were such shyt. The nikka aint have the luxury of letting the offense flow through other players other than Russ. They both were forced to do too much

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Uh, in game 5 and 6 KD shot under 40% and a worse percentage than westbrook, but lets just pretend that shyt never happened, right?

Spoiler

Game 6 loss
KD 10-31 29 points
Westbrook 10-27 28 points

Game 5 loss
KD 12-31 40 points
Westbrook 11-28 31 points


So KD shot better than Westbrook in ONE game....



Game 4 win
KD 8-24 26 points
Westbrook 12-27 36 points 11Rbds 11 assist


Game 1 win
KD 10-30 26 points
Westbrook 7-21 27 points


we don't believe you, you need more people

Durant scored 28 at 43% through the whole damn playoffs, putting in 40 minutes per game, another playoff leading category. Westbrook scored 26 at 40%. I'm not getting the point, if you're saying Westbrook played better then what's the point of being upset that KD left? You kept the better player remember? Durants a choker remember? Durant totally has nothing to do with the reason they were there in the first place, that's why Westbrook made it to the WCF and won a championship without KD.

[SpursFanSinceNovember2017]

Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James

OKC
3-13 regular season
1-4 playoffs
4-17 overall

GSW
1-1 regular season
4-1 playoffs
5-2 overall

Durant has more wins against Lebron with Golden State than he had with OKC

It's alright I know it hurts to see your argument go up in flames. Wait for your mans to make another post and see if they can bail you out.

You see, ya dumb shyt, what I'm doing is not doing "Durant vs Westbrook, who played better" I'm comparing the supporting cast of Curry/Klay/Green vs. Westbrook/Ibaka(who wasn't shyt last year or this year)/Adams(a 22 year old). Ya, it's clear that it was Westbrook holding him back and not the REST of the supporting cast, but people like you and the ones dapping the thread are the retards that don't look at supporting cast outside of the superstars and known role players.

I've been calling KD the best player in the game and you're out here posting like a dumb fukk trying to prove a point I'm not even making, which is randomly spewed bullshyt that I never even said.

Yep....the game couldn't have been fun wit that type of pressure

 

[Doomsday]

Westbrook missing shots and KD was getting the blame. shyt was backwards.


If Westbrook is so much better than Curry, shouldn't KD switching teams have been a downgrade for KD?



"Give Westbrook Curry's teammates and see what he does."

"Well, he had KD...."

"b-b-b-b-b-but..."

And they went to the finals, and we up 3-1 against the Warriors until Durant tanked because he didn't want to win with Westbrook.

All that backtracking. You never said anything about supporting cast until this point fukk are you talking about? This conversation is over.

 

[Edub]

style of play is dictated by the personnel you have. you can't play a motion offense without shooters. thread is stupid give kd and westbrook klay and green they'd be 4-5 peating right now

I'm not denying that.....but the difference is Westbrook supports that style of play whereas Durant didn't see success coming from it....I honestly don't think Westbrook would like playing in a system like GS, but Cleveland's ISO offense at times would probably suit him

 

[KOBE]

Ya, it's not the fact that they didn't have a Klay Thompson and Draymond Green with them out there in OKC rather than it just being those 2. Some of you are seriously so fukking stupid it hurts.

Ya, except that was my FIRST post in this thread.

Best place I've ever posted at had a smaller basketball community(as it was a forum for other shyt). It was the best because there were only a few casuals and most knew their shyt. There's way too many casuals in places with a shyt ton of activity. Just the way it is.

 

[pete clemenza]

If Durant played like this last season when they were up 3-1 they would've won a ring last year without having to come to Golden State. I guess for some reason he just mentally said I'm not gonna win shyt unless I hop about the sure thing.

 

[Stop_It_5]

Russ would have won on the Warriors also.

Sabo epitomizes everything Golden State DOESN'T do

 

[ALonelyDad]

Warriors have a better squad and team. No one was holding Durant back. The people who failed Durant was the FO and owner by being cheap and making stupid decisions like trading for Perkins (lol). The OKC roster is horrible outside of Adams, Westbrook
