Actually last game kind of made me question Durant -again-. Put up huge numbers, but the whole sequence at the end of regulation (throwing the ball away, fouling Iggy) and in OT (fouling out in the first minute) had me like :beli::francis::huhldup:
Durant didn't foul iggy, iggy jumped into him

I swear far too many of you guys jump to conclusions after a game, and sometimes, even after a quarter. :mjlol:

Don't overreact like the rest of these fools. The Warriors are the team to beat now and I'm pretty sure that got to OKC. All KD had to do was call time, but he panicked. At times, both Durant and Westbrook were trying to do much (see some of those turnovers). Also, Westbrook still exhibits poor shot IQ in late game situations. The 2014 Clippers-OKC playoff game 4 is best example I can think of off top and I was really hoping he would have learned from that.

Nah actually tbh I've always questionned KD, he's a amazing scoer and whatever but I've never been totally convinced by him. Indeed all he had to do was call time-out, and he panicked. That plus the two fouls is the kinf of errors that separate a 40-plus losing effort from beating the best team in the NBA. That's what keeps him from reaching the top imo.

I never said anything about inability to find the open man. Sometimes, that pull-up jumper is not the best option. :francis:Never said anything about Warriors not being the better team either. :francis:

Westbrook made a couple terrible defensive mistakes in overtime the unnecessary foul on klay for the and 1 and he left curry wide open :snoop:
