and in the finals he spent thevast majority of the time guarding ibaka or Perkins not Westbrook and.Durant. its not like he was constantly on one of them during the series or even the majority of the time. I didn't say for 40 minutes but I would be he averaged less than a quarter per game on KD. I don't have the game tape to go check however obviously.

Lebron is obviously a extremely gifted offensive player like I said Its not like he doesnt have another top 10/15 player Who can create offense himself if need be. And a all star forward as well. they'd survive, But agree theyre at their best with LeBron running the offense.
Yeah I'd say winning a title, and being the hands down favorite to win multiple more that they have it figured out. Not worth messing up chemistry, especially with Wade slowing down.

KD and RW draw a lot of fouls. That's the main reason lebron doesn't guard them. Why would you want your best player in foul trouble when they have a very good defender in battier.

Especially considering Westbrook slapped away dudes hand when he was trying to help him up.

Ibaka is a threat. He developed a nice mid range jump shot.

I've been surprised by this the times I watched them this year....much like every time I watched Dieng for Louisville hit his.

Seemed like 20 things on tonight I was interested in.....might as well finish it off with the Clippers/Grizzlies

Was really hoping these two wouldn't meet in the first round. I thought only 2 or 3 teams would beat the Clips in the West.....Memphis was my 2nd team behind the Thunder....then Spurs

I agree IM, Clip Grizz I was hoping for later on. Great matchup. I thought all season the clips are a joke and pretender but their bench is tough. Keeping them in it. Entertaining series so far. I hope the Grizz move on.

Don't think it dispositively affects this round or next round. Durant is more than capable of scoring 50+ or 60+ if that's what it takes to win.

I've torn that as well, it hurt like a BITCH. Hurt at least twice as much as tearing my ACL. If hes getting the meniscus pinned he may be out like 6+ weeks, if hes just getting it removed he MAY be able to make it back by finals(if they make it) because getting your knee scoped isnt very bad, at least in my experience to remove meniscus it wasnt

Man that really sucks. Could the road get any easier for the Heat?


But at least Skip Baseless will get to see how much "better" the Thunder are without Westbrook.

I'm actually very curious to watch how the Thunder play now.

Not from a "how valuable is RW" standpoint but from a "what adjustments to their playing style/play calling" one.

Westbrook is a top 25 player. I wanna see Durant go for 100.

I don't think it's hard for him to, or it's a stretch for him to, if Durant hits 60.

The NBA is so damn soft now a days. Jr smith ripped through like you're taught, caught Terry w an elbow n gets ejected. should be a personal foul and play on, like it was in the 90s
