    Stick Durant on that Cleveland team that went to the finals. First round exit.

    Who did we think Harden was? He's exactly what I thought he was, and that's an efficient scorer who can get to the rim anytime he wants. He struggled leading a team in his first season as the featured player, but he's 23, and will only use this experience as a way to improve. If your expectations were higher than that, then that's on you.

    Sorry but no way in hell would LeBron carry Derek Fisher and Kendrick Perkins to the finals in the West.


    And yes LeBron is better than Durant

    I'm glad the league and all its casual fans are starting to bandwagon hate on OKC. The whole "darlings of the league" thing was seriously pissing me off. They are not underdogs anymore they should be a highly polarizing team just like the Heat... and they will be after that debacle of a playoffs.

    LOL most thought Harden was a 6th man. He is much better than that it seems.

    Pfft they beat that scrub Wizards team easily and take out the Nets in 6 or less. They probably lose to the Pistons though.

    Haha yeah, I was exaggerating. :grin: Just saying that Durant cannot do what LeBron does. Durant is by far the better shooter, better scorer... but LeBron dominates on ALL aspects on the court.

    I agree. Tracy couldn't do it, neither could anyone. Ever. Except Hakeem.

    This ^

    Lebron is better than Durant but Lebron cannot carry this thunder team to the finals in the west. The western conference is a lot better than the east. Teams in the west beat each other up while the heat just coast to the finals.

    Durant can't do what LeBron does but he for damn sure has an excuse for losing to the Grizzlies this year. He had a bad game tonight but he has been a beast since Westbrook went down.

    lol hey that was LeBron for a while too. KD will be just fine. LeBron gets all the hype for taking the Cavs to the finals but the only series that was worth anything was the Pistons series. The Nets and Wizards didn't even have winning records and the Spurs straight backhanded them in the finals.

    It's foreshadowing that Durant will leave OKC and team up with Harden and Howard to form the next big 3 in Houston

    Did KD play with 2 other superstars like Lebron did? Um, no. Please refrain from making dumb azz threads if you don't fully understand what your saying:rolleyes:


    Durant's BEEN a superstar and top 3 talent
