It doesn't get that extreme until he teams up with 2 superstars.

[GoranDragon]

Complete failure is an understatement if they don't win it all.

[DaSeba5]

It doesn't get that extreme until he teams up with 2 superstars.

Well he did have Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, and a good overall team. It's not like he's carrying scrubs right now, or has been.

Name another star player that ever won it all with his best and 2nd best teammate being in their 4th and 3rd years. And go.

[Boarder Patrol]

Durant is the best player in the world, as of now, but....

1) LeBron may change this during playoff time, depending on how many of these "coasting" rumors are true. A lot of people might act like Durant's the best, and as of now he is, but LeBron could very well shut us all up in the playoffs.

2) His team employs the worst starting Center in the league, among the worst shooting guards, and their second best player has very serious, recurring knee problems. His team is far from set for a deep playoff run. There are others (Miami, Indiana) with much better supporting casts.

[DaSeba5]

Name another star player that ever won it all with his best and 2nd best teammate being in their 4th and 3rd years. And go.

Point is, he has good management around him. He has people capable of putting talent around him.

So what you're saying is, you have no belief in Durant being able to lead a team with another top 5 player, a top 5 PF and a solid supporting cast to a chip?

[ripthekik]

Being the best doesn't mean he has the most stacked team. A lot of times the league's best player doesn't win because they aren't in the right situation. Durant's not going to team up with another top 3 player.

[DaSeba5]

So you ain't gonna name somebody?

:lol :lol :lol

I can't think of anyone on the top of my head.

[navy]

Durant is the best in the Game. If Westbrook comes back healthy he will have no excuses.

[russwest0]

So what you're saying is, you have no belief in Durant being able to lead a team with another top 5 player, a top 5 PF and a solid supporting cast to a chip?

Wait, so we're assuming Westbrook is healthy?

Oh shit, OKC is winning it all then, no doubt.

[Suguru101]

Pippen was in his 4th year in 1991....

And Durant didn't win because he was a one trick pony. 6 rebounds and 2.5 assists... while guarding Chalmers who dropped 25 on him. Lmao.

Don't know why i even bother, out of this thread.

Why does Westbrook need to be healthy? LeBron won without Wade being healthy or Bosh being healthy.

[russwest0]

Honestly, the Thunder own the Pacers so much they might be able to beat them even without Westbrook. That'd truly send these LeBron dickriders into meltdown mode.

[Cold soul]

It be huge failure if Durant does not win it all this year. His team is good enough his coach on the other hand not so munch, but they should win it all in June.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

That's how you know Durant's not the best player. Even his own stans have no faith in him. They know Durant's not making it to the Finals, and if he does he'll get exposed as a one-dimensional player like he did in the '12 Finals.

[DaSeba5]

I agree with Ibaka not being a top 5 PF, but IDK why not being in the top 5 doesn't makes him great. Same thing Westbrook. If he's not top 5, he's in the top 10 still. It's not like Durant plays with scrubs. It doesn't discredit him either. You don't win alone.

[Jameerthefear]

Ibaka isn't a top 5 PF?
no
Blake Griffin
LMA
Kevin Love
Dirk
Anthony Davis

[GoranDragon]

Let's see...

2012: Lose to Lebron with a top 3 SG (Harden), top 3 PG (Westbrook), top 5 PF (Ibaka)

2014: May fail to win a ring with top 3 PG (Westbrook), top 5 PF (Ibaka)


Yes complete failure it will be. And I love it.:oldlol:

[Twiens]

Lebron stans are terrified, calling Ibaka top 5 :oldlol:

[Trollsmasher]

Durant stans already making excuses. Have some faith in the GOAT, guys:rockon:

#dabest

You can read my post on the first page if you want my opinion, but Ibaka top 5 PF? He's better than Bosh, Aldrige, Love, Duncan, or Griffin? Not even close, he's in the David West tier.

Westbrook has very serious, recurring knee issues that are more serious than anything Wade has gone through in the last few years.

Sefalosha and Perkins are possibly the worst starters at their positions.

It's very clear why they may not win a chip.

[russwest0]

Harden was a top 3 SG in 2012, Ibaka was a top 5 PF in 2012?

Heat fans in full panic mode, holy shit :lol :lol :lol :lol

[GoranDragon]

Harden was a top 3 SG in 2012, Ibaka was a top 5 PF in 2012?

Yes they were.

Panic mode about what? OKC is a good matchup for Miami.

[NumberSix]

So, am I to understand that NOBODY believes Durant is capable to lead his team to the title this season?

[TheMarkMadsen]

i'm glad numbersix settled the Kobe> Lebron 09, 10 debate in his OP :applause:

As for Durant,that's honestly some GOAT level ish to be 25 and in a season that's "championship or bust" because you're already so far ahead of your competitors on an individual level

Apparently not, because according to this thread, literally NOBODY believes Durant will win the title this season

this.

[rlsmooth775]

Why does Westbrook need to be healthy? LeBron won without Wade being healthy or Bosh being healthy.

yup

[imdaman99]

Why all the insecurity from Bran stans? Oh, because someone is stealing all his attention.

Fair enough ladies, do yo thing :cheers:

[chazzy]

He's capable, but there's no reliable 3rd scorer come playoff time. And Brooks is a terrible offensive coach who makes few/poor adjustments. They had Harden, replaced him with Martin, and are now relying on the collective effort from guys like Jackson and Lamb

[GoranDragon]

Put Lebron with Westbrook, Ibaka and Sefelosha and see him 3-peat easy.

[NumberSix]

Jackson has been tearing shit up though. He's better than the PGs LeBron has won with.

If Durant is better than LeBron, he should be able to win with the same help or less, no?

[rlsmooth775]

I made a thread similar to this seriously this teams back up point owned the Spurs yesterday Reggie Jackson was the best player on the floor last night he had 27 points zero turnovers and was clutch in the 4th

[Marlo_Stanfield]

LeBron will singelhandedly burry Hicktowns and FT-Rants dreams if they should ever meet again in the playoffs. and im gonna love it:applause:

[Illuminati]

Honestly, OKC's stacked. Ibaka is one of best rim protectors in the league, and can hit a jumper from anywhere on the floor. Westbrook is a superstar. Reggie Jackson is easily the best back up point guard in the league. And Derrick Fisher, as of late, has been looking like 2009-2010 'bailout Kobe' Fisher.

[navy]

Apparently not, because according to this thread, literally NOBODY believes Durant will win the title this season
No shit. Durant is playing great but nobody thinks he will play this well in the post season.

God just start the fricken Playoffs already, I'm tired of this regular season hype.

LeBron has had that pressure since 2008. When he was 23/24.

This, dude can't help but think of Durant all day every day. Welcome to the club Numbersix, embrace it :applause:

[knicksman]

dont worry OP..Lebron will be the 3rd best SF behnd george after this season:lol

[RightToCensor]

If OKC doesn't win the NBA Championship then Kevin Durant will forever be in the league of Carmelo Anthony.

It's a shame, all this talent and potential and he doesn't even have a MVP or NBA Championship. KD is basically the same player as last year except he just shoots more.

[knicksman]

but who knows. Pop might reclassify diaw as SF so i guess lebron be 4th

sounds believable until you said derick fisher

Melo's actually better.

Tim Duncan 2003: 3rd year Stephen Jackson, 2nd year Tony Parker.

Although that was just sheer dominance, so I get your point :cheers:

[deja vu]

Should OKC and Durant fail to win the title all those idiots calling him "better than Kobe/LeBron ever was" will turn on him and call him a choker.

[ArbitraryWater]

Being the best doesn't mean he has the most stacked team. A lot of times the league's best player doesn't win because they aren't in the right situation. Durant's not going to team up with another top 3 player.
