    he's seeing a defense that the leading scorer should face. it should be nothing new to him.

    He's seeing the best perimeter defender in the NBA and a team that has time to prepare for him.

    shane battier is a fail on offense. he has a wide open lane for a layup but goes for the 3 on the break.

    and he's the best scorer in the L. superstars face all types of defense you can see and this is nothing new.

    it's not like they're trapping KD out to the 3pt line or double him EVERY time he touches the ball. this is your typical superstar defense.

    others have faced worse.

    EDIT: and memphis needs to get a rebound. they're getting murdered

    Great atmosphere for game 7. This is what the playoffs is all about.

    LOL Durant tried to pull a Kobe with that off the board pass to himself.

    He has been sucking thus far.

    This is the same crowd that (two years ago) could make a home game against the T-Wolves seem like a game 7. OKC's crowd is awesome.

    Kendrick Perkins pumpfakes about 5 times before attempting a shot.

    durant has a championship-caliber supporting cast. this offseason will be huge for him. he has to make himself into a more complete player on both ends.

    and OKC can take the next step if he does that.

    If Battier gets less playing time, the Grizzlies have a great chance.
