    Don't ever mention this guy in the same sentence as LeBron James. With Westbrook out he had every opportunity to step up and show he's a superstar, the way LeBron did last year against Indiana and Boston.

    I personally thought Durant was better than this.

    Ever since the first round, I thought KD was headed for a heel turn. I'm waiting for him to turn into a bad guy.

    KD may not be on Lebron's level. But this Thunder team has no scorer outside of KD.

    Makes me appreciate how far Harden took the Rockets this season with way lesser talent and no other star.

    I'm tired of people acting like Lebron has no help. He is playing with two future hall of famers! And lets not forget how Lebron has choked plenty of times before in Cleveland and also the first year in Miami.

    If you ever thought he was on LeBron's level, that's on you.

    I'm not disappointed in him.

    I know right? I mean he only averaged 32/8/7 in the first round. Then he came out in the first four games of this series and only averaged 31/11/7 shooting 46% from the field and 41% from 3. Why did anybody think this guy was a superstar?

    You're right. All those all-star jumpshooters in Cleveland definitely carried his ass to the NBA finals. :rolleyes:
    Durant has no excuse. LeBron had a worse team and still took that scrub ass team to the finals.

    LeBron is bar none a better player than Durant. LeBron carries teams.
