:lol guarding Shawn Marion vs. Dallas
:lol guarding Metta World Peace of shit vs. LA
:lol guarding Kawhi Leonard and Stephen Jackson vs. SA
:king guarding Carmelo Anthony
:king guarding Danny Granger and David West
:king guarding Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and KG
Must be nice, only having to put effort on one side of the court, tbh..
Meanwhile, offensively..
:lol vs. The 13th, 10th and 8th ranked D
:king vs. The 9th, 5th and 1st ranked D
:lol I'm embarrassed to post the teammate production, it makes the comparison even more lopsided, tbh..
Im expecting LeBron to eat him alive in the Finals tbh. If a washed up MWP can force him into terrible shots the best defender and most physically gifted player in the history of the NBA will give him major problems imo.

Lebron needs to take care of game 7, Paul Pierce and the Celtics elite D is the bigger matchup problem, tbh..

long legged fag is soft like quill, if he hadn't got them refs to call a foul everytime someone touches him, he would've been eaten alive by such muscle guys like MWP tbh

Is there really any question that LBJ is miles better than Durant lol? Durant only wins in two categories, and that's scoring off the jumpshot and coming up in the clutch. Unfortunately for LeBrick, that second one is what everyone focuses on.
Not liking LeBron and wanting him to lose (my case) is very different than thinking he's not the best player in the world (retarded case)

Can't wait to see Bron shut that faggot down tbh.

The big question is who will be guarding Lebron if they make it to the Finals? I don't think durant can guard him. Lebron on the on other hand can actually body him up.

If Miami makes the Finals, Thabo will guard Lebron, Westbrook will guard Wade, and Durant will guard Chalmers/Battier/Miller IMO..
Durant will switch to Wade or Lebron for 2-3 possessions so the media can hype the match-up and make it appear that he plays defense, tbh..

HH, do you think Bron can shut KD down? And he can get more aggressive cos KD won't get those ticky tack calls anymore when the MVP's guarding him.

Did you keep in mind he was being guarded by the 3 best perimeter defenders the West had?
And he still torched all of them.
If he could handle MWP's physicality then he could defiantly handle LeBron's.

OKC vs. Miami will be entertaining for obvious reasons but I can't remember a series that has two teams filled with big men who fumble passes constantly and can never convert around the hoop if there's a slight amount of traffic. Bosh imo is gonna decide this series. If he's a non-factor and it's basically OKC's perimeter monkey ball vs. Miami's perimeter monkey ball, OKC is gonna win that contest. If Bosh can actually get it going and provide interior offense for Miami, I think that gives them the edge. Miami has the slight edge defensively but I hate Spoelstra's swarm the ball/gamble at every possible moment defense. It gets murdered by offenses that can pass.
If this series is any indication of where the NBA is going, big men are becoming extinct :lol

:lol no. He can run circles (:lol Horse) around MWP while Lebron can match his athleticism. Lebron's defense will be a much bigger test for Durant than anything he's seen so far.

This.
The reason Durant was so damn fresh in the fourth was because he didn't play any defense the whole fuckin time.

Meanwhile Miami better win game 7 so the finals are at least entertaining. OKC will murder Boston if Boston wins.

Well lets see if he can handle all those screens.

:lol Sup Deandre? Are you going to Amy's Game 7 party tomorrow night. We are pregaming 3 hours before tip-off. Jerry, Mike, Candice, Beth, Ashley, and Jennifer will be going along with others.
It will be interesting to see Westbrook guarding Wade. I would have the same line up they're using now with Bosh at 5, LeBron at the 4 and Battier starting on Durant. OKC has no match up advantage over Miami. Bosh will be the difference in this series...

Hey Ace and Daunte, Horse just had one of his best posts yet in his thread. Check it out :lol

As for this thread, Lebron has faced better offensive players in the East while Durant has faced better defensive players in the west....until now. Even thought Durant is best Lebron will have to face and vice versa, James has the edge. Lebron has the speed and athleticism to make Durant's life hell. Durant will be facing Chalmers or someone else who can't create their own shot.
Like Deandre said earlier, Bosh will be the deciding factor. He is getting his game back and should look even better tomorrow night. He will give that OKC frontcourt fits.

How much time is LeBron going to spend actually guarding Durant? I'd imagine Battier would get the majority of that assignment. They'll pick their spots putting LeBron on Durant imo.

Battier can't guard KD. Bron has to.

He can't spend all 48 mins going through those screens, he will be guarding him for sure tho in crunch time.

I'm really intrigued to see if Wade guards Westbrook from the get go.

Then he'll be sacrificing some of his offensive game & Heat cannot afford to lose any of it.

As I've said he never gets tired. But, even if he contains durant OKC has many weapons. Bosh really has to show up.

With Wade inconsistent and Bosh still coming back from injury they need huge production from LeBron on the offensive end (assuming they beat Boston.) Expecting that kind of production while at the same time locking up Durant for 45 minutes is a tall order for anyone, even LeBron.
Battier can't guard KD. Bron has to.
Battier can make him work throughout the game but of course LeBron should get the call during crutchtime. Either way, Durant won't have it easy and nobody on OKC can guard LeBron, especially if he gets it going the way he did last night. Of course he won't play a whole series shooting that god like percentage but LeBron and Bosh present a match up OKC has no answer for.

What makes you think bosh can play at that allstar level?

Since returning from injury he hasn't been bad and will only get better. So why wouldn't he return to all-star level?

It takes time to get back to that level after the Injury he had... I don't see him being 100% but obviously if he is then it becomes a very close series. Hopefully HCA plays a factor here.

Free throw shooting too.
