ESPN already wants to get off Bran's wagon but

[crawdaddy4ou]

Durant and GOATbrook need to win a chip this year.

[navy]

Nobody actually believes in them .

[Le Shaqtus]

It'll be difficult for them to come out of the West

[SilkkTheShocker]

ESPN got OKC's bandwagon in 2012 also.

[Rose'sACL]

didn't almost everyone at ESPN predict OKC to win in 2012 finals?

[JohnFreeman]

Championship or Bust.

2014 not 12 son

[SilkkTheShocker]

Yep. They rode OKC hard that series. Even remember them debating about Durant already nearing the top 10 all time list :oldlol:

[crawdaddy4ou]

He's the best player in the world. Just needs a chip. Don't be scared.

[red1]

if westbrook is not healthy then okc will get destroyed by miami in the finals. wont make for compelling basketball

[HoopsFanNumero1]

2014 not 12 son

But it's gonna end the same way :confusedshrug:

[SilkkTheShocker]

But it's gonna end the same way :confusedshrug:

Yep. But let them have their moment :oldlol:

[crawdaddy4ou]

I guess people have forgot about the possibility of a guy named Westbrook playing on this team?

[Illuminati]

Yep. They rode OKC hard that series. Even remember them debating about Durant already nearing the top 10 all time list :oldlol:

There were people making comments after Game 1 that Durant is arguably better than Jordan :oldlol: How quickly LeBron ended that argument.

Really? Would have loved to see them have to backtrack after only one week. :roll:

[crawdaddy4ou]

I said he needs to win a chip. 2012?? He was a kid and now he's taking over the league. Living in the past over Durant will not help any of you.

nor is living in the future. he hasn't yet won a ring. so stay in the present, in which Durant is ringless.

the red states loves Lebron.

Makes perfect sense. Scum loves scum.

[TMT]

Yeah, they were the hot team and no one trusted Lebron to actually show up in the Finals up to that point. No one thought that Miami going small was going to completely throw off OKC. Everyone thought OKC's size was an advantage for them up to that point.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Are you retarded? those red states are for Durant, and those are mostly republican states :biggums:

[ispin69]

Spurs will crush OKC with Westbrook or not. Miami would say meet you in the playoffs but it won't happen. Wednesday is just a regular season game.

Hey Stevie Wonder, it's the other way around.

[TMT]

:whatever:

You sound like you haven't watched this matchup at all over the past 3 years.

[Thunderstruck]

Kind of like the 3 times they played already this year? 2 of them without Westbrook.

I still remember Game 1. Thank God Lebron put up good all around numbers in the Finals. 29/11/8. on 47.1 FG%

And on Miami's in 2011.

lol provide one link or post from this board to any person in the world stating that durant was better than mj after game 1.

Obviously I specified playoffs. Where was OKC in the finals last year? Or the last two years? 0 finals appearances. They haven't been to the finals with a healthy Durant and healthy Westbrook.

:lol It was happening even before the finals.
