    I mean ü could always say that with a lot of players. These type of comparisons just paint the picture that a player isn't as good as he is displaying and faulting him bc he's figured out how to play on his own team.

    he should just get them drunk at halftime, burn the game tape, and hope they don't remember this game ever happened. they are just flailing out there right now.

    granted miami was old and tired, but they did this kind of thing to miami in the finals so okc isn't necessarily alone. but i'm starting to think spurs in 5 is optimistic for okc.

    Durant is starting to play like Harden. Hero ball with not much defense. He's definitely looking frustrated. Almost played the entire first half (23 minutes).
    I personally don't think the chemistry is there in OKC with him and his teammates/coaches.

    again, i think kawhi is great. he plays an unbelievably under control, efficient, teamwork style of offense beautifully. but on the other hand, not taking things into context is unfair to the lebron/durant types (or whoever is involved in one of these arguments and who people claim are being outplayed). the guy who has to go up against a crazy good defense and try to create everything on his own isn't apples to apples with a guy playing a lesser defense who doesn't have to force anything because the surrounding cast/coaching is good enough that he doesn't have to.

    it's like watching harden and klay thompson in the playoffs and concluding thompson is better on offense because he doesn't commit a lot of turnovers and shoots a better percentage. switch them and suddenly the story is different.

    yeah could you imagine the spurs going out in free agency and signing a big star? no way.

    Don't really agree with this but that's ok. I do see what you're trying to say though just for the record

    Spurs are collapsing the paint on every drive. Roberson needs to be benched for Morrow ASAP
