    You'll always be second to LeBron, Durant.
    Hope Wiggins quickly becomes the next LeBron so he can be the second to him too.

    He claims that he's sick of always being 2nd. But he'll never be 1st imo if he keeps doing that cheap rip through move.

    I just hate that he said he owned this city...and ended up walking out with a win...Seriously that bounce..how much more lucky does one have to be to get the bounce on the opponents home court...wow...

    But what Durant said last night after the game, make me just love the player...What he said is that he was going to do whatever his team needed him to do, regardless of how many shots, passes or FTs are attempted...He put his team on his back and carried em...

    Durant is one heck of a player and it does suck that they had to use Russ's injury as added motivation to beat the Rockets...but C'est la vie. We have to move on to Monday and just look to avoid a sweep...Whats sad is that the Rockets havent even been playing their best basketball (when the Rockets three's are dropping...they are extremely hard to beat...)

    Lebron better be mindful of Durant this year. If Durant can lead OKC to a championship without Westbrook, he leapfrogs LBJ in the "who is the best" category. That would be an epic finals.

    OKC's chance of moving beyond the 2nd round are close to nil. They will probably be swept.

    vs. Clippers: CP3 dominates the PG match-up, to put it quite simply

    vs. Grizzlies: Nobody to get the Grizzly Towers into foul trouble; they dominate paint.

    The Rockets, though they may not win, certainly altered history for this season.

    Durant playing inspired = Lebron playing inspired.

    I get LBJ lovers and that he is the best player in the league...right now... but those who think Durant isn't near him are delusional as hell. An argument can be made that Durant is just as unstoppable as LBJ is, just in a different way.

    I think OKC would beat Clips even without Westbrook. CP3 is not that great player, he is great when needed (close games) but he sometimes dissapears.

    I also belive Memphis has a better chance against OKC

    KD hit an injured Lin at his site of injury in order to prove a point. To me, he's not second. He's last.

    Durant's a super-scorer. LBJ is a super all-around player.

    Even the ESPN broadcasters went off about that move. That's telling.

    OKC can't beat Miami. But I think Pacers could cause matchup problems for Miami, especially w/ injured Wade.

    OKC got HCA in the West and they are very tough to beat at home. They lost just one game at home in last year's playoffs(finals game 2) and they had chance to win that one on last possesion.

    Despite Stern's efforts, this is still a mans game.

    He just did it but the ball hit Parsons hip before he could sweep it all the way up through Parsons arm and they called the foul on Parsons right away. LMAO.
