NO EXCUSES for Durant losing this game 7

[8Ball]

Durant for the first time in his career has to carry a LeBron sized load. Not so easy is it.


LeBron had even less help in game 1 2018 finals and scored 51 points and that was an overtime lost vs the greatest dynasty team of all time.


LeBron >>>>>>>>>>>>> Durant.


Carry on.

There's a reason he has 0 playoff series wins without an MVP. Even his 2018\2019 wins have asterisks due to players that are better then him being injured (chris paul, kawhi leonard).

No i wouldn't call him for you because you're not annoying unlike the others :ohwell:

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Why don't you keep that same energy with Lebron?

Lebron doesn't have to rely on scoring points like that, he has actually led playoffs in advanced stats like PER, BPM, VORP. Kawhi has actually led playoffs in advanced stats as well.

Durant has never done that, you're just a bitch who joined a 73 win title team and you're just a bitch who can't even beat Middelton with an MVP Harden on your team hahahahaah

[SouBeachTalents]

Why don't you keep that same energy with Lebron?
Lmao, if that were LeBron "Zero points in OT, airballed the GW!" :lol

Keep preaching.

Kawhi actually had to hard carry a team in 2019. Series after series. Had to go mono a mono vs the Golden State dynasty and took them down. Respect.

LeBron had to hard carry his team in 2012/2013/2016/2020.

Durant never had to hard carry a team ever. Durant had a 73 win team behind him every time.

[MadDog]

Agreed. You could say Harden was gimped, but he still suited up. Which means all is fair. Nets are the clear favorite with Kyrie, but with Harden/Durant playing, they still don't get an excuse,

+1

[Jasper]

I want to point out Durant left it all on the floor.
48 points
This was on 36 shots.

Look at 40 points Giannis had.
It literally tells the story.
Bucks played better defense.

[Spurs m8]

KD did way better than LeTiny

[FireDavidKahn]

KD did way better than LeTiny

KD's game tonight wasn't even as good as a typical LeBron game in the 2017-18 play offs

[dankok8]

Durant doesn't need excuses. He had a 48/9/6 game on 58.8 %TS and 3 turnovers and also played pretty good defense. In fact he played one of the best Game 7's ever played. Yes he went 0/6 in OT which is why it's not the GREATEST Game 7 ever played. But it's still a hell of a game by KD.

And why in the world would Durant be held to Lebron's standards? Lebron is the guy people call GOAT and compare to Jordan. Durant is a top 15 all timer. If you use the same standards for Durant as you do Lebron then you're admitting Durant is about as good as Lebron and also a GOAT candidate.

[Axe]

Yes
Where were you anyway when kong won his LeFourth :(

But they were also playing against a hampered team as well. If those three were healthy the outcome would be very far from what happened now.

Lebron didn't go out like this, he usually got blown out by a historic margin and outplayed by his opponent. Not the case for KD.

Durant's career isn't being compared to LeBron. His actual play is. Durant's a greater scorer, and obviously one of the BEST players alive. If not the very best. Fair or not, lofty expectations are given.

It's OK. At least KD didn't lose in the Finals. He successfully improved his resume' and boosted his legacy by losing two rounds before the Finals.

No....LeBron and KD should be compared...

Jordan is leagues ahead of both

Jordan > Lebron > Durant is the most obvious take.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Steve nash choking in big games as a coach just like he did as a player. He literally got 0 bench points in a game 7, which has never happened before. Blew a 2-0 lead hahahaha ty lue is superior

[plowking]

This is why the notion of not doing enough despite having the better team needs to be put to rest. You can only do so much. Are the Nets a better team than the Bucks even being down a man like Kyrie? Yes. But they didn't get the production they needed from everyone aside from Durant.

Saying that though, I don't think Durant is as good as Giannis or Kawhi. In fact, a healthy Harden is his equal as well. Giannis just put up 32/14/4 and couldn't be stopped and people act as if he was outplayed. Was the most consistent player in the series. 4 games above 60% shooting and none below 45%. An efficient machine and one of the best garbage men in the league, cleaning up boards and putting in easy looks. Unstoppable as the roll man as well.

[000]

Letrash simps are fuming kd could play well with no help, while legoat shot 48% ts vs the warriors in that situation. But tbh thats just how the league rolls nowadays. Someone like giannis with no post game, no jumper, not even free throws, can be michael jordan in this era.:lol

[FireDavidKahn]

Go look at his entire 17-18 play offs. Lebron averaged the type of game KD just had every night

Meltdown.

Why are you upset Durant lost?

[PeroAntic]

It has nothing to do with Lebron, but Durant ****ed up big time in OT. Yeah he had little support but passing was never an option to him after hitting that jumper to force overtime. He took hero ball to an extreme level and didn't even try to drive for his shots, just took contested jumper after contested jumper. Even the best shooter can't make this consistently at this level of defending. The loss is on him regardless of his stats. He didn't play smart. Theres the Lebron side of the spectrum where the preferred move is to divert responsibility and then there is this where you just play 1 on 5. Both are wrong.

[paksat]

Are Lebron fans this insecure?

it's just one guy that kblaze refuses to ban

he can ip trace simon with ease and ban him, but he won't

so he's a problem too

[paksat]

if durant had hit shot after shot in that OT or just hit that game winner in OT

michael jordan might have to move over

And the way he went out with Booker, CP3, and Crowder clowning him was stuff for the ages.

KD dropped 48/9/6 on 120+ ORTG while Harden shot 29%, and Harris shot 30% from the field including bricking wide open game winning jumpers. (both of them in OT)

Durant also hit an impossible shot to send it to OT that was a pinky toe away from a walk off game 7 home run. There's nothing more he could do... old Blake Griffin was his 2nd option in this game.

Yep.

Especially when taking top tier help AND cherry picking developed players around you.
Then running off and doing it again when that team has past its expiry...in your eyes.
Leaving them decimated as you shipped off all their assets for 'now' pieces that are suited to you, and got all your mates inflated contracts.

The entitlement and the way he's never helped blood young players and always had that 'give me help right NOW' just isn't respectable.

I wouldn't respect anyone doing that...let alone someone trying to beg to me that he's the GOAT.

The fact he didn't even get ONE single ring before taking the easy path says it all.
Top it off with no AD no success out West...and well...you all know the story.

Durant is top 10 all time, Curry is top 12 all time, Kawhi is top 20 all time.

Isiah wasn't even the best guard on his own team. Dumars was better.

That team was stacked. They had DPOY Rodman to guard Bird and Pippen, and 1st team all NBA defense dumars to guard Jordan. Not to mention laimbeer, salley and mahorn patrolling the.middle.

They had mark aquire coming off the bench. He was averaging 25 ppg in Dallas.
