Westbrook is too ball dominant.
Curry passing more and lowering his usage to accommodate Durant in their offense more is a HUGE reason the Warriors won this series, and won so much this year.
Westbrook would do what Kyrie did in game 3 and do some dumbass iso heroball nonsense to lose them games against the Dubs or the Cavs. Shit he did that last year when they were up 3-1, he's just as big a reason as Durant as to why they lost.

Wizards gave the Cavs a few scares this season
There's a reason LeBron avoided the Wizards in the second by letting Boston take the #1 seed
Plus that's KD's home town
Bird quit lol
There's an easy decision to make, George is 100% gone in free agency, might as well get someone like Love instead of nothing

Any of the teams he talked to in the offseason would have given him a great shot at a ring.
Not to mention OKC let Harden go because they didn't want to pay. Smh. Beat in 2012 by Lebron's superteam, and then let great pieces like Harden go because lack of vision. But yea, it's 100% Durants fault for leaving right?
San Antonio, OKC, Houston

I'd be angry if I was Lebron too. The Warriors were playing the same inconsistent ball they did last year but KD of all people was there to nullify it this time. Plus he's on a capped out team with bad contracts.
The same Wizards that paid Brad "unable to olay more that 30 min a game because he stay hurt" Beal so so much money?
The same Wizards that are on the same plane as the Hawks in terms of being ain't shit?
The same Wizards with Ernie fucking Grunfield at GM?
Nope
1. How
2. Nope
3. Nope
Spurs, Clippers, Houston.
Even Washington would've made it to the finals with how well they match up against Cleveland
Edit: Basically what everyone else just said
He could have played with his favorite player Paul George this season...

Durant and Beal don't gel, he's, again, too ball dominant and doesn't know when to play off and facilitate. The reason they lose right now is because he takes turns with Wall instead of playing up together.
Clippers ain't shit I don't think people realize how awful they are
They put a curse on everyone who arrives there
OKC also traded Ibaka before Durant left. OKC killed the most when they put Ibaka at the 5 and Durant at the 4. Dealing him hurt their future chances against GS imo.
OKC with Kevin Durant would have been a legitimate title contender because OKC when healthy was always a legitimate title contender.

No idea what the hell Donovan was thinking throwing Ibaka at the 5.

People didn't say he made the wrong decision as if he wasn't going to get a chip....what are you talking about?

He is though.
When Klay Thompson spent an entire half unconscious and Durant and Westbrook completely forgot how to play basketball. Like, Iggy even admitted this summer that OKC was the scariest team in the playoffs last year.

The only positive of the sweep not happening is that the fans in Oakland got to finally experience clinching at home. I don't think anyone can deny they deserved it after having to go through game 7 last year.
Why are you responding to Bam Bam
Dude had 3 chips and 3 finals MVPs. He's already gone over the Chamberlain wall.

what makes them "deserve" it tho?

Are we going to see these two teams in the finals next year?
There wasn't a year since 2012 when OKC wasn't a legitimate title contender when healthy.
Can you stop with this grade school bullshit? You seriously think the team that took the warriors to 7 games couldn't make the finals?
Edit: one word responses are child's play

Because I hate myself.
I don't count someone as a title contender if they honestly don't have a chance to win
Such as the Thunder
They traded Ibaka and got fucking Oladipo before Durant left
Hell no they wouldn't make it to the finals

Love for Paul George should be heavily brought up this off season
Paul isn't resigning with them so might as well get Love
Love has been pretty disappointing these past two finals , only showed up a few games
LeBron in panic mode is a scary thing

Why would the Pacers make that move?
Indiana isn't that crazy to take over that toxic Love contract. Might as well get picks for Paul George.
Real talk, I troll a lot here, but Lebron is an amazing player. It'll be a sad day for this league when he retires. I'm glad KD got a ring, I know some of you guys think he's a bitch, but I've always liked him so I'm happy for the guy.
Anyways, I'll see some of you guys in the offseason thread. Hopefully my bum ass team that didn't make it the playoffs can either tank properly this year or make some actual trades.

The only way to explain away all the breaks that gone against the Clippers is with a curse. It seem like something goes wrong for them every year.

They'd lose him for nothing
No one is signing with the Pacers anytime soon once Paul leaves

They'd be much better off trading him for picks.
