Curry And Durant Are The Two Best Players In The League

[SouBeachTalents]

Remember when Spurs were in the Western Conference finals, oh wait it still hasn't happened for 2 years running.

Dude let it go. Lebron was better in the playoffs last year, he is the best in the world until proven otherwise in the upcoming postseason. I just want the boys fit, and hopefully one of the two outdoes Bron this upcoming season. I have confidence.

If only insecure fakkits like OP could admit this

Gonna be a great season. Can't wait for Kyrie to go head up against Kyrie and
Lebron go head up against Durant. Hopefully it happens. It's a dream scenario.

Curry and Co are tied 1-1 with the Cavs.

Durant is 0-1 very Lebron and Heat.

A lot of people have something to prove.

If you value playoff performance more which ik you kobe guys do, Westbrook was better than Durant last year.

Russ defnitely had the better overall numbers, he was averaging more offensive rebounds, assists and steals but his low IQ decisions in late game situations also cost OKC their 2nd Finals appearance, KD's shot came back to him in the OKC series but Russ was bricking everything...Game 6 at home and they choke it down the stretch with Russ turning the ball over multiple times to hand GS the game was just terrible to watch, on top of that he shot 39, 37 and 33% from the field in the 3 losses with 5 turnovers per game

you look at his averages and you would think he's Big O but his scoring game is very limited and predictable over the course of a 7-game series against a team like GS that can limit his game. He averaged 25 shots a game in the 3 losses on top of his ~11 assists per game and the 5 turnovers, that shows to me that he hogs the ball too much... Kobe used to get roasted for taking 20-30 shots every game and he's 10 times the scorer that Russ is. Even though KD had 31 shots in Games 5 and 6, he only got 19 shots in a do-or-die Game 7 where he was making shots with ease but Russ ended up with 21 attempts and he missed 67% of his shots and was a -14 to KD's -4, who was keeping the game alive.



Overall I just think the two weren't the ideal fit. Russ wants to score 25 a game and also create shots for everyone on the floor, that means he can't have a co-star like KD who also needs the ball in order to be effective. OKC had the most talented team in the league but their game was flawed. IIRC, they had a top 5 all-time rebounding front court (better than the 09, 10 Lakers) that was on par with the 80s Celtics but they also blew the most 4th quarter leads.
