Will Durant get a pass from ISH, fans, and/or the media...

[KirbyPls]

if he doesn't win the chip and FMVP this year?

He's the clear MVP (objectively) and is playing amazing, and most here are saying he's overtaken Lebron at the world's best. In addition, his team has a great record and is statistically dominant on both sides of the court, while missing its second best player who will return for the playoffs. Most here have anointed him the game's best player. Will he, or should he, get a pass if he doesn't win it all?

he's 25 dude

Lebron didn't win a ring on 60+ win teams and left in free agency to make things easier and he still gets a pass

so yes

[DaSeba5]

Yes. People have a double standard here. Durant is not hated... yet. The only agenda against Durant are LeBron stans, and maybe upset Kobe stans. Only LeBron gets bashed for losing a series at a young age.

Mark,

I know you hate Lebron, but did he really get a pass in 2009 or 2010?

[Illuminati]

LeBron got hate for not winning at 24 years old. Durant is currently 25. So no, he shouldn't get a pass.

[JohnFreeman]

Not from me.

Wrong. LeBron got blasted because he single handedly lost his teams those series in 2007, 2008, and 2010. That's why he was blasted.

Also it all comes down to how he plays. If Durant plays at the same level he is now, it will be impossible to blame him for his team losing, if they did.

Lmfao are you ****ing retarded? Kill yourself please. Single handedly lost those series? He has arguably the goat playoff numbers and with terrible supporting cast after terrible supporting cast. Not 1 all star(mo will was added on b/c of multiple injuries, sucked, choked in the playoffs, and lbj made him decent). We all saw how bad the cavs were w/o lebron...from 50-60 wins to 1st pick for multiple years. Someone ban him please. Prob a kobe or durant stan too.

Those Cleveland teams were terrible. I know you only started watching basketball since 2012 so it's all good

So the 2010 "quit on Cleveland" narrative never happened? Also, he gets blamed for the Magic series after averaging 38-8-8. So yeah, try to keep up.

Not sure if srs...

2007 everyone already knows

2008 LeBron shot 36% from the field and AVERAGED over 6 turnovers per game that series. Cleveland actually won the series in total points, coming out +5 for the series, but lost in 7 to Boston. In 2 of those losses, LeBron combined to go 8-42(19 FG%) with 18 turnovers.

2010 Cleveland was up 2-1 on Boston with HCA and then this proceeded to happen.

Game 4 LeBron 22 points and 7 turnovers 7-18 shooting
Cleveland loses

Game 5 LeBron 15 points and 3 turnovers 3-14 shooting
Cleveland loses

Game 6 LeBron 27 points and 9 turnovers 8-21 shooting
Cleveland loses

21.3 ppg 6.3 TOV 34 FG% in 3 straight losses
