    Lol at people blaming Westbrook.

    Durant is clearly nowhere near superstardom as he has below average handles and cant pass the ball.

    Dude needs to run off screens to score most of his points.

    This will sound stupid, but whoever wins this series has a bit of an advantage game 1 vs. Dallas, since they'll be sitting for so long.

    Get used to it because I'll keep sounding. You've been quite the broken record at various times.

    Durant is the Old Dirk. I've been saying it this whole playoffs.

    He also needs to get stronger, doesn't he weigh like 180?? No wonder he's getting pushed around... No way he's in the superstar conversation

    if KD doesn't make any improvements next year, this is the best he'll be for his career.

    Finally a Game 7. Zbo played like he did against the Spurs tonight.

    and some people have the audacity to say Durant is better than Lebron.

    Durant deserves the same exact criticism Lebron, Wade, Dwight would get if they only shot 3-14 in a clinching game but for some people will take it easy on him. Lebron would be getting hammered right now, destroyed by fans and media.

    Good point by JVG during the game. He said Allen and Battier were allowed to be pretty physical while defending Durant tonight, but he wondered if the same type of physical play will be called fouls on OKC's homecourt in Game 7.

    Regardless, I love the way the backcourt of Memphis played tonight, despite OKC clearly having the advantage in talent.

    And give credit to Hollins giving Mayo a bigger role. It may have been just enough to additional outside shooting to keep OKC from completely collapsing on Randolph.

    And the way Randolph just took over the game down the stretch. Wow.

    Can you imagine if that loser Iverson was still with the Grizzlies? Remember him saying that he can't play behind a player like Conley?

    I applaud Memphis for dropping dead weight in Iverson and Thabeet. It will be incredibly interesting if they can actually move forward, how far has an eight seed gone in the playoffs?
