Normally, I would completely agree, but Durant looks freaking lost out there.

I'm shocked. I thought Durant was going to have a freaking beast postseason

Maybe because the PG is shooting 30+ times a game instead of getting him the ball?
Exactly. I love Russ but he is killing this team right now. He's erratic and takes bad shots without even looking for an open teammate. His mentality coming off the ball screen is drive or shoot. It's like he doesn't even think about passing.

i have said for 3 years westbrook is the downfall of this team. And up until last week everyone laughed. He is a great athlete and basketball player. He does not make his team better. He rushes bad shots at the most critical times.



I was on this bandwagon for a while now too. People asked me "well who would you replace him with". I'm sure you could work out a deal to get rondo who costs ~5mil less.

So what qualifies as a breakout game for the Servant in game 6? 30 free throw attempts?

You can't win a championship playing two-man isolation basketball in the playoffs. It doesn't matter how good those two guys are.

I hope everyone starts to realize how overrated he is.

Putting him in the same sentence as LBJ, smh.

Rondo's not a great fit with this roster. They need a low post presence desperately. Ibaka has fallen in love with the mid-range game.

I'm sorry, I can't help it. Natural reaction to seeing KD's name. It's because I can't stand OKC as a franchise.

If he'd go somewhere else I'd love him.

if rondo was on this team its offense would be clown shoes. they have limited offensive options and only 2 guys who can create their own shots (durant, westbrook). rondo does not score enough

This is KD's 7th year in the league

In LeBron's 7th year in the league, they lost in 6 to the Celtics in the 2nd round.

KD is still only 25 years old. He is playing for a coach that thinks their best offense is KD or Russ chuck up some shots. It is 2v5.

He is being chased around by the best perimeter defender in the league in Tony Allen and when he isn't in then Tayshaun Prince is on him, who is no slouch on D. Not to mention he is often getting doubled by last year's DPOY.

I honestly think if they could find a way to trade Westbrook for Kevin Love would be the best case scenario for OKC.
