    His D is fine.
    It's true he couldn't shut down Jackson's every plays, especially PNR.

    Reggie Jackson had 50% FG% against Bev. in Playoff last season.
    He had 2pts in the 4Q.

    Did anyone else's heart stop for moment when they saw Beverley give Cisco a flying chest bump after Cisco's big three in the corner. I literally yelled out loud "NO!". Funny thing was T Jones must have felt the same way I did because he ran over and grabbed Beverley and you could tell he was telling him to calm down.:grin:

    Durant is so tough :rolleyes: Would've had like 10 points if not for all the rip through free throws.

    Not trying to compare him to bev, bevs pesky and stops pgs from getting in their rhythm

    I know I saw a better effort on D on Lin, he put a lot of pressure on him was trying to deny him the ball and half of Jackson points weren't on Lin, he had a fast break layup & and a quick 6 when cannan first came in for Lin. Gotta watch the game not just how many points a certain guy scores

    Isn't that pretty much how every team in the league plays him?

    It sounds like an insult to his teammates if u ask me.
    Also, the nba is full of players that cant be guarded one on one.
    See how mighty Durant is when guarding Parsons if he didnt have ibaka behind him.
    Lol, i agree he mad

    I like Durant. Nice guy but an ******* when it comes to competing.

    Can't wait till he's on the Rockets in a few years :grin:

    Granted we did play good team defense against Durant, but I also saw a lot of good one on one defense by Cisco and Chandler on him. His not the first person to be double triple teamed in this league.

    Salty... like OKC wasn't doing the same thing to Harden, anyway. He was doubled all night

    I think the OKC got stagnant offensively. Maybe the Rockets D have something to d with it, but it was like Durant going against the whole Rockets D every time down. The Rockets went to Harden a ton, too, but there seems to be a little more movement generated by the team. Reggie Jackson, for one, hardly touched the ball in crunch time.
