What was KD's argument? That he played and carried the thunder without westbrook?

Scoring title? Record for scoring 25 plus in a string of games? And given how okc is constructed, carrying them sans westbrook is remarkable.

What's your argument? That an MVP can never lose playoff games or series? Happens all the time in the NBA. Doesn't make the MVP recipient any less deserving.

Not making this a LBJ/KD thing, but only using LBJ as an example because he was the last to own the award....

LeBron played a very similar amount of games that D-Wade didnt play this season. I believe the game count was somewhere around 25 or 30 that D-Wade didnt play in this year. Very similiar to Westbrook's count....

I hate when people use that towards KD...

Heat are going to get destroyed by the Spurs in the Finals.

Write it down, print it, etc.

This Spurs team that choked away beating the Heat last year in what should have been 6 games WITHOUT home court is better than they were last year.

Oh and if you trade KD and Lebron, the road would be the exact same. Facing the Grizzlies, Clippers, and Spurs in succession is about the hardest road I've ever seen.

10x harder than facing the Bobcats, Nets, and Pacers in succession.

There were no easy roads to the finals in the West for sure. I mean the 1 seed had a 49 win Dallas team, a 54 win Blazers team and OKC.

I mean total regular season wins for the Heat's 3 playoff opponents: 133

For the Spurs: 162
OKC: 169

It's just insane how much harder the road has been in the West

And a Pacers team that has been the laughing stock of the league for the past month and went 7 games against a sub .500 Hawks team.

Replying to both of you:

Incredible road both OKC and the Spurs have traversed. All the more impressive what the Spurs have done the past 7 games specifically.

And God help me, I can't remember a more pathetic road to the Finals than the Heat are on. Hilariously and historically bad.

San Antonio Spurs Tribute - The Beautiful Game


That was awesome. I will never understand why people say that the Spurs are boring to watch. Their style of play is sooo much more interesting than the teams that just iso their best player time after time after time.

Really is a thing of beauty to see five players on the court playing their different roles perfectly and all contributing.

People that say the Spurs are boring don't understand the game of basketball. Popovich and his system is the star of that team, not one player. Complete throw-back philosophy to pre MJ eras of the game.
