Looks like a Spurs-Thunder matchup for the WC Finals. Durant has been clutch throughout the playoffs. How do you guys see us guarding him? Leonard will most of the time, but do you think we'll do what LA did tonight and basically just help over anytime Westbrook or Durant have the ball? Their lack of a post game allows this (After we finish up the clips, of course)

Face guarding/deny any ball reception all night.
When he touches the ball, it's going to be tough. Long and lanky, soft touch SOB.
We have a Kawhi.
He will score. Shutting down Westbrook to some degree will be a major focus.
Bait Westchuck to shoot the mid range jumper all night long, the lesser of evil & won't be as clutch as his tall, slim, and deadly forward comrade.
tbh I don't think we do stop Durant....just have to shut out the rest of the guys and hope it doesn't come down to a final shot with the ball in his hands.
Yup...let Durant get his and shut down everyone else as much as we can. KD is awesome, but he can't beat us all by himself.
if I knew I'd be COY
Lakers suck.OKC aren't so great.
We'll be up by 10+ points at the end of the games so who cares if Durant is clutch
+1...although I will say the Lakers appeared to have some success last night running what looked like a triangle and 2 defense.
Kawahi to rescue
If Leonard plays Durant well this series he will get a lot of national media attention. I love it
If they play like they have the last 3 games we will sweep them too.
Durant will figure Kuwait Lenard in a seven-game series. What needs to be given to him is a steady mix of defensive looks.
The Durant Stopper
Durant is going to get his points no matter what...we just gotta shut down westbrook and harden.
It seemed like the times we played them this year, we were baiting Westbrook to beat us. And by the time the Thunder tried to incorporate Durant, he struck me as out of rhythm. It kind of reminded me of the way we used to play Kobe in the past, which helped disrupt the Laker post game.
I think for better or worse Green and Ginobili will guard Harden. Kawhi and Jax will likely be stuck on Durant but if it was me I would put Kawhi on Westbrook some too to shut him down. But it all depends on how Durant plays. If he struggles at all with Kawhi guarding him you don't fix something that's not broke.
Lmfao!!!The Durant Stopper
I really want to see how Kawhi does on him though. This is his rookie season and Durant and The Thunder our the upcoming team in the west. I see a lot of battles in their future.
Win by 20. Clutch factor won't matter at this point.
Yesterday, Westbrook took 16 shots outside of the paint.
He made 9 of them.
I am not sure we want to just give Westbrooke the mid-range shot, because he appears to be making them pretty well.
I think we have to focus on limiting Westbrook and Harden. I think you let Durant score 40 and try to limit everyone else as much as possible with good team D.
It is going to be Parker and Green on Westbrook. Leonard and Sjax on Durant. It will be interesting to see if they try to hide Neal by having him guard the sg on the floor. If harden and Westbrook are both on the floor, I don't think you can afford neal on the floor.
I'm way more concerned about Westbrook. Parker isn't big enough and those we have that are, are not quick enough. It's going to come down to hoping they aren't hot.
