He was on pace for like 43 and 43 minutes against the Warriors and Durant isn't like 43 against Boston. This game first turned when he was out there with his second unit against Draymond, Klay and their bench guys and he was tired. Warriors actually stretched the lead in those minutes and then he sat. Lue doesn't look... judicious, but what do I know?

IS GSW the only modern super team where players and stars dont point fingers when the lose or win?
Because he lost to the Warriors last year. Where have you been?

Facts. No other team in the east has been to the finals in 7 years because of LeBron and we're talking about KD?

The problem with this playoffs wasn't that the same teams ended up playing each other or the sweeps. Its that the vast majority of games weren't even competitive. I don't care if GS goes 16-0 if they had some real competition getting there.

this series looks bad
I've been watching the entire game and the warriors season. He fits in well and is and excellent passer with a high basketball IQ.
I don't even look at box scores most of the time.
I see the stats presented on screen though

Refs have been letting Warriors get a way with a lot. Durant did a massive pushoff just now on Lebron but no call after calling a pushoff on Love.
Lebron joined the 2nd best SG in the league and a top 3 PF because of geriatric Celtics. Durant and his moves were bitch made.
I'm not saying that, I know Durant is the best player out there now, but the other poster is acting like Curry was suppose to avg 40 ppg and win while his other superstar Klay stinks the joint up

He got 20 rebounds tho
73-9 doesn't matter anymore clearly.

Then why doesn't a Lebron come to the West?
Why not compete with the best teams
Why is it he gets a pass that is the dumpster fire of a basement that is the East?
Cause ANY GREAT PLAYER WILL TRY TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE, Lebron doesn't want to be in the West where he can get knocked out 1st or 2nd round, yet easily getECF every year with a rag tag bunch

We're talking literal all star? Seems a really weird way to do it. Just look at the rosters. It's not like Klay is some basketball god, he's just a good player.

back to his wolves losing way
Were you living under a rock during the playoffs last season?
Have to respect it. The core base of superstars on that team apart from Durant got to this point through sheer hard work & teamwork over all these years (since 2011). They've just consistently kept on improving. It wasn't built in one single window like most other superstar teams (Cavs/Heat), & they also weren't proven, experienced superstars when they joined either.

Yes he's been the best player tonight, but Curry had a fantastic 3rd quarter when the game was still you know a game. He's been fantastic in the second half, Durant was fantastic in the first half.
The thought process was still the same as Durant's no matter how hard you guys try to spin it.
He joined wih two future HoFers in their prime. What the fuck is going on in this thread?

He's a career 20 point scorer and a really good defensive player in his prime. That's not all star caliber?

38 for KD? Damn.
But it's LEBRON
They love LeBron so it's cool.
It's cool when his team renders the eastern conference useless. It's not when his team's getting bodied.

Mike get Klay in NOW. If you want to sweep, let him eat.
Nvm he's there.

Spurs are about to lose two of their best players to old age and injury. Clippers are going to be blown up. I wouldn't blame Paul for taking Parker's spot.

not everyone is a cav fan for saying the truth and common sense...
Just rotate it between her and Steph's mom.

KD is making a huge difference; so is gsw fighting for the boards on both sides along with a matured D scheme that is as impressive as their offense.

I put up some stats if you care to look.
I have no idolization of either guy. Like I said, head to head, their stats are similar, KD with Higher FG/FT%, LBJ with higher assists. The East also isn't as stacked as the West (3 of 4 MVP candidates are Western conference players), so its easier for a great player to dominate. His game will stand out when you're going up against the Jae Crowders and Otto Porters of the league.
I've said earlier, LeBron was crowned the minute he came into the league, the media refer to him as the best and the King. He is great, and definitely the most complete SF overall. But look at what KD is doing tonight especially offensively, understand that he wanted to be here specifically for this reason (with the Dubs AND in the Finals against James), and tell me exactly why he cannot be considered the best.

Who the fuck cares though?
It happened, can we change the circumstances, no?
The man was showered by so many teams to join them, GSW offered something that fit his needs
Same as Lebron going and joining Wade and Bosh to get his Rings
People keep using the how can you join a team that beat you!
Like Basketball has some unwritten integrity rules that you must do these cause there's hidden bylaws some people think that should be honored
I'm not even a KD fan, but Holy Shit, can we give it a rest. The man wants to win, simple as that, just like every superstar

Did it ever go away? I don't think anyone but Warriors fans and Sonics fans like KD rn.
