    Durant took his team to the Finals at age 23.

    Did you also think LBJ would never win one?

    Denver seems to struggle on the road and they are questionable defensively. I don't see them getting very far in the playoffs. Even Memphis has a better shot than the Nuggets, IMO.

    The Clippers on the other hand have a good shot to make it to the Finals. But I still think that OKC and SA are the two best teams in the West.

    I guess Lin needs to be traded then (pretty sure where the OP will go with this eventually).

    That is an utterly ridiculous reason to say that he is more "clutch" than Durant. That is an even more utterly ridiculous reason to say that he's more of a "championship player" than Durant.

    Is the OP seriously suggesting that Ty Lawson is better than either Westbrook or Parker?

    The Clippers have an opportunity to climb the standings now that they are fully healthy and the Spurs are injured. Ideally they can get the 1 or 2 seed and draw the Lakers, since that will give them plenty of rest for the second round.

    You also think the Nuggets may make it to the Finals. Therefore, we shouldn't care much about what you think.

    So if you have really good offense, you are kind of like 2 teams who won championships because of their defense. Makes no sense.

    The Clippers do actually play good defense. They have a chance. The Nuggets have absolutely none.

    Lawson is so good, that he has to be taken out at the end of the game for defensive purposes. That is clutch.

    I disagree, the Spurs or the Thunder will make the finals. Parker will come back with 2 weeks left in the reg season, I think its enough time for him to get reacclimated. That is of course if the Rockets aren't the one in the finals : )

    as a ut fan in durants only year there, he carried that team. Durant is up there with kobe in terms of clutchness. that dude is money from anywhere. I like Denver n the Clippers but the playoffs are a whole different ball game. If i had to pick out of the two, im going with cp3 n the clipps.

    Nicely done. Let's go Denver! The Durants are mentally weak and like to complain a lot. Hopefully they find a coach who can control Russell Westbrook and turn him into a true complementary player.

    Tangentially, I'm watching the Clippers game against Sacramento and I just want to say that Sacramento has the worst team attitude I've seen this year. It's a bunch of bratty players who think they're all stars and complain about every call. I can only imagine how glad T-Rob is to be out of there.
