He was a force defensively.

he was the best defensive player in this series, by far, while leading the series in scoring.

His biggest issue is his turnovers. That was the only negative mark you could put on Durant, imo.

He is a superstar and on the short list of guys in the running for best player in the game in recent years...that's what he is supposed to do. What he isn't supposed to do is come up short in every single fourth close quarter and struggle to dribble the basketball. If he truly did play great then his team would be headed to Cleveland.

or maybe they were up against one of the greatest teams to ever play in the NBA?

He was great this series and for the first time was great on defense.

Is he not one of the greatest players ever to play and on the short list of top scorers ever? If you wanna say he was great on defense I can rock with that. He did play well on that end. But to suggest shooting like shyt, especially in the clutch and barely being able to dribble is great for a player of his caliber is going too far. And no, all of that was not forced by GSW.

he shot like shyt against an all time defense with a guy who could make the HOF because of his defense.

And he still lead the series in scoring.

When Lebron shot like shyt last year, he was lionized. Durant was great this series, he just lost to a team thats an all timer.

Then we'd have to agree that Russell had a great series too.

Not by me :yeshrug:. That shyt was comedy. nikkas acting like this nikka had turned some corner because he was taking and missing a bunch of shots. That said, Bron didn't have a player the caliber of Westbrook (even with his own struggles) by his side.

The Spurs were even better on defense than the Warriors this year with a back to back DPOY and he still shot better and gave it to them in the 4th.

Saying they're an all-time great team doesn't mean they would've beaten those teams - just that they're one of the GOAT teams. Stop playing dumb doeboy.
Saying that they're one of the goat teams literally means that you think that it's arguable that they would beat other teams in the goat conversation. If you don't think that it's arguable that this GS team would best Mike's Bulls or Magic's Lakers then why would you say that they're one of the bes teams of all time?
