    It's not Saying Durant is better . I am talking about playing both sides of the game. If you want to win a championship not just few games in the regular season.

    this I thought Weber was doin good in the 1st half

    but instead of playing Weber more and letting harden rest in the 2nd half MDA basically ran harden to the ground

    And Durant won finals MVP for his amazing offense and defense. I don't think I can confidently say Harden would win finals MVP if put in the same position.

    I'm cool as a cucumber regarding this team. We're still every bit as scary when healthy. If derailed by injuries so be it. Can't do much about that besides lengthen rotation. Maybe morey can make a move that makes us 10 deep instead of 9 but he can't turn water into wine. Or can he? Lol

    Steph didn't play good D in their first champ run and neither did Kyrie with the Cavs. Having some all-defense teammates help. When Luc, CP3 , Clint have been healthy this team has been elite defensively.

    Remember when Morey used to find bargains/talented young players like Jordan Bell? Can't remember the last decent young player we've drafted/developed.

    I still cant get over that we lost 2 games in a row agaist scrub teams. Warriors easily get 1st seed of NBA.

    Man to go to bed early. Leg after the first quarter because it seemed like we had this. Can I get a quick recap?

    One is much more costly than the other. The Rockets have been pathetic on defense and that’s why they’ve lost these two games. No reason two of the worst teams in the league scoring 120+ on us. No reason.

    There are two reasons, injury and fatigue.

    MDA is paying the cost of having 8 guys play all the mins wtf. Maybe Ariza id the next one to go down since he is playing 40 mins a night
