Durant should be criticized if OKC loses this series, but don't act like he has Lebron's personnel either. Pretty much no other superstar in the league has the personnel Lebron has right now. Russell Westbrook can score, but he is no D-Wade. You cannot compare Ibaka to Bosh. OKC does not have players like R.Allen, S. Battier, and Haslem. I'm not a Lebron hater, but if he never partnered with Wade then he would not have a title presently. He would not win it with Bosh as the second option and the rest of those role players on the Heat. I believe Durant should be criticized, but people must remember he plays in a tougher conference and does not have a superstar team. Next Westbrook being injured by P.Beverly in last years first round really hurt his and Durant's chemistry for this years playoffs. That injury wasted a year for those two to grow and learn how to play with each other without Harden being the third guy.

I don't know why people feel the need to call out Durant for anything right now.
What are we accusing him of exactly? Not being a winner? Not being a great player? Seriously, when people say it's time to call out Kevin Durant lemme ask you this. Call him out for WHAT.
Barring injury he should have at least another 7-8 years before his athleticism starts to decline. That's damn near a DECADE. No one here can even pretend to know how the rest of his career is gonna play out. nikkas was puttin the same heat on Jordan too back in 1990 and after that he went on to become the greatest player of all time.
Don't get me wrong it would be mad disappointing to see Durant booted in the first round but sorry I'm just not ready to reach a verdict on this guy yet. He's too good and he's a fearless competitor. Right now he just needs to learn how to be a stronger leader.
But please give him TIME before you nail him to the cross.

They're already turning on him.
nikka needs to get his lanky ass into the post. You see that hook shot Magic hit over all those tiny ass guards? Yeah, Tony Allen is a tiny ass guard and the sky hook was never figured out. Him settling for contested jumpers, which is exactly what Allen and the Grizz want, is not going to solve anything. Their attack isn't working and they're not adjusting, obviously on Scott Brooks for being an unimaginative fukk on the offensive end, and yet haven't even tried trying anything new.
Why not sub Durant earlier in the first since Allen subs on? Instead of resting him after he plays the entire first quarter, they could just get him out at the 2 minute mark and have him sub in quicker in the second. He's averaging 47.8 minutes per game, that's ridiculous for a jump shooter. You get tired, your jump loses hop, and your shots end up flat and short. They need to adapt and adjust instead of forcing the issue by trying the same thing over and over. Get other players involved earlier in the game and conserve energy which will allow them to have play with more confidence later in the game while keeping your legs fresh. And no, I'm not suggesting he be a decoy but instead a fukking play maker. He's an MVP, not a decoy, and should be able to get his other teammates involved when he's drawing more than one defender or attracting defenders in the lane.
edit:
Shouldn't forget to point out that all of this is an overreaction. Grizz are the best defensive team in the league, yes better than the Pacers as they their stats are slightly worse due to far superior western conference, and they're kind of good at shutting the other team's players down. They like the grind it out style and each game has been that. If that Ibaka put back counts then no one is talking about this shyt and instead going on about how Thunder are going to put the Grizz away in six due to the "MOMENTUM".

Countdown to Armageddon
Durant never had a co-star of Wade's calibur @Soundwave or a 3rd guy as good as Bosh. Or a competent coach.
