oh for sure, the series have been more evenly matched. but let's be real, the cavs will be in the finals and they likely won't need more than 5 games against any of their opponents along the way.

Durant, this wouldn't happen if you played for a good coach.

This is going to get ugly quick.
Is anyone else a little underwhelmed with Ibaka's development and performance these past few years? His offense is limited to spot up shooting, he's never creating anything in the paint. His PER is on a downward trend. He has a reputation as a good defender but that is mostly as a help defender; if you watch he is routinely exposed in both post situations and in PnR.
Don't get me wrong - he's a good player who anyone would love to have. But if you had asked me 3-4 years ago I would have told you he was going to be an absolute monster and one of the better 20 or so players in the league.

If I'm Durant I leave this team in the off-season entirely because Kyle Singler got minutes in a playoff game.

Lets just skip the western semis and go straight to the WCF please. Warriors and Spurs is gonna be fun
Any thoughts on where he could go? He could use a steady, good coach.

Presumably a team with a good coach, enough cap space to sign another max free agent and the assets to trade for another star. Maybe Philly?

That RockyIV gif that sunhi made is still relevant 
couldn't LA go for him? I mean luke walton would be fantastic for Durant and he can get Kobe's contract lol

Don't let your foot off the gas, Spurs. This team can still score a lot of points quickly.
Ehh he'd just mess up their tank. I know no other teams that fit that bill.

That is all.
They reach levels of execution that is truly artful. It makes me genuinely happy as a basketball fan.

They certainly could although for what it's worth (nothing) people seem to think he has no interest in going to LA.

OKC is a fraudulent team. Both them and the Clippers are going to get blown up and sent back to irrelevancy where they belong.

If he wants to win now he'd avoid the Lakers like the plague. If he's leaving he's going some place with a shot at the title.
