KD wouldn’t have beat the Raptors or the Celtics skeleton crew. Dude struggled for majority of the Rockets series last year while having the two greatest shooters of all time playing next to him. KD without all-star support players is reduced to shooting fadeaways over double teams. He’s not facilitating to Hood, Clarkson, JR, Love, Korver.

He struggled by breaking a Western Conference Finals record for total points in a series and averaging 30ppg?

Kevin Durant's performance in the Western Conference Finals was record-breaking

You must have him mistaken for Steph... we saw those numbers he put up prior to CP3's injury...

Kobe snitched on Shaq
LeBron faced that same Grizzlies team in the regular season and only scored 20 points in the first encounter and then went 4/14 (18pts on 28% FG) in the final matchup. He lost both games too.

The West is completely different monster. KD beats that same Pacers team in 5 if you put him on the Cavs.

You can't stick Bogdanovic on a guy who is used to being guarded by the likes of Artest, Kawhi, Iggy, Tony Allen, etc. in the playoffs.
Raptors were 19-11 vs the West last year. Including 2-0 vs the Rockets


Regular season is meaningless. KD doesn't up his game in the playoffs like LeBron as to why with 2 future MVPs he was a failure

The year Westbrook got hurt He went 30-10 without another star and averaged 34-7-6 in that stretch. Won MVP cause of it. We’ve never seen Durant without another star other than that

Regardless of the outcome, one nikka is almost out his prime and the other is just beginning his. Plus they got different work loads.:francis:

Freepost.:mjlol:
Lebron just had the season of his life. He’s far from out of his prime.

Being honest is good because. Has Anyone ever though what it would be like if Bron joined the warriors in the place of KD? Seriously, what does a team defense even do in the situation? Also, giving lebron the ability to pass to Steph and Klay would be a crime. I honestly think that team would be unbeatable, because even now sometimes all of their all stars can have an off night, but in this situation NO MATTER WHAT Bron gonna attack you, and hit you up for 25/7/7 in the regular season and that’s going light. Bron is just too fukking consistent, KD had multiple off games in last years playoffs. I think Bron had 1 “off” game dropping 26/11/11, albeit on 40% shooting. The warriors w/ Bron could probably get a 75 win season w/o trying to hard and his defense would come back due to reduced load.
