Dont get me wrong the dude is a beast.I just think that Durant is so mature for his age.People compare their basketball iq's because they are on the same team and the same age.Durant is a once in a lifetime player but no doubt westbrook will get better.
Truth be told, Lowry did alot of dirty work and sacrificing his body to get to the line, but that's his calling card so the second he started to "act-soft" by milking the injury then Morey took that as "Lowry acting out of character" therefore Lowry became expendable.
Did you see game 4 where Westbrook dropped 43 in the game and he dropped 43 points without making any three-pointers and shooting over 50% from the field. Westbrook left it all out there in the finals. I actually feel that Durant held back a little bit, but then again he was in foul trouble more than half of the time anyway. If the thunder are lucky they'll get back to the finals where Durant can play a little better.
Exactly right! Dude went from Pit Bull to Poodle. You gotta suck it up and play ball, man.... He chose to sulk....hence he folded under pressure...and because of that...he out.
I can't believe you guys are having a serious debate with a guy that thinks Kevin Durant and Luis Scola are equals.
Durant aint shiz without Westbrook. Did Durant take over any games in the finals? No because he was in foul trouble most of the time. So yeah he and Scola are basically the same player. People see Durant drive and make one or two spectacular plays or a dunk here or there, but Durant dribble driving is like those Trevor ARiza dribble driving that he did back when he was here. The ball most likely gets stolen.
Yeah I mean when you are a second-rate player and you aren't highly touted or you are not a lottery pick, then you have be a pit-bull 100% of time. Lowry had to fight his way to the top from the bottom with grit and dirty work so that's who he is, so anything other than that is outside of his character.
I'd trade 12 Luis Scola's and my left nut for Kevin Durant. They aren't and never will be in the same league. They aren't "basically the same player" just because you make a couple of ridiculous comparisons. Quit judging based on random criterion, and actually stop to logically think about what you're saying.
Moreys plan is gonna fail. Dwight is going to the nets because they are basically trying to force the trade even though nets are giving up garbage and low draft picks. All the allstar players will basically be on teams with each other this coming season leaving the rockets to fight for lottery position because we wont be winning a ring in the next 6 years
What happened at UT in the NCAAs when the other team shut down augustine? Durant folded and he couldn't carry a team. Bottom line, Durant still needs to develop his game, but the problem is he is a wing player.
We could possibly have two top ten picks next year.add that with the dope rookies we just got and we are back.i just hope we dont trade it all to get howard for one year.
Morey is a genius and the way he structured that pick we got for lowery is absolutely insane and will change the way future picks are conveyed from now on I bet. Protection for both sides instead of just for the side that is giving the pick especially when he is receiving the pick. If you cant see the brilliance in that I don't know what to tell you. Except that your third grade teacher is crying some where thinking about you.
Dont worry. We will most definitely trade all of our young prospects for a one year rental. That's just how we roll in Rocket land.
I don't read the Chron sports writers, but is this really what we've been reduced to in Houston? Really? A lame rip off of the Skip Bayless School of Journalism? The original is ****ty enough already. Now everyone thinks this can make them rich.
