    Does that really need to be said? No great player can be checked one-on-one. Durant can't be checked one-on-one. Lebron can't be checked one-on-one. Harden can't be checked one-on-one. etc. etc.... that's what good basketball is all about, team defense. Of course it's one-on-three, cuz his teammates are garbage.

    Garcia and Beverley really have consumed Durant and Westbrook's thoughts and dominated their emotions.

    Whats the big deal. I'd take Durant over Harden or Dwight anytime.

    That quote has me rolling my eyes. Of course noone can check you one on one. Noone could check Wilt one on one either and guess how many championships he missed out on. I'm a HUUUUUUGE fan of Durant so I'll just chalk this quote up to healthy athletic ego and pride

    KD just feeling a little butthurt that James dropped 39 and he had to chuck up a bunch of last second heaves just to keep his completely arbitrary streak alive. Why 25? Why not 24? Why not 26? Who cares about 25. It isn't a benchmark it is just a completely arbitrary integer for ****'s sake.

    'Course you can't check him one-on-one. Dude can basically rise up and shoot above anybody in this league.

    He's right but no one can really check him one on one and they don't have any one that can check Harden one on one. That's the way nba defenses defend all good offensive players not even just superstars.

    He's clearly a little upset about the loss.

    There's a few players that can check LeBron 1v1. Jimmy Butler, Prime Scottie Pippen, Kawhi Leonard, Boris Diaw

    I use to love KD since he went to my alumni UTexas but he's changed and I'm really starting to hate the guy.
