He's salty but to an extent he's right. I thought Westbrook was actually a big part of the reason why he was held to 13 shot attempts.
Pretty much gave no credit to Kawhi and Jackson's defense on him for only "allowing" him 13 shots tonight. He said he can pretty much get any shot he wants and get to any spot on the court he wants. Their defense had nothing to do with his shot attempts. He said he could take 30 attempts if he wanted. What do you guys think?

I think he's a get who is a product of the refs
He said he can shoot any shots he wants, and he's right
spurfan being sensitive as always
and hes right for the most part
he gets anywhere he wants vs SA
he really took around 17-18 shots if you include free throws
his problems will always be Russel Westbrook and his passiveness
I've always said there are only 2 guys that can dominate Durant, tbh..
1- Lebron James
2- Russell Westbrook
Durant is a beta cuckold, tbh..he's by far the 2nd best player in the NBA, but he's a pussy that defers to Westbrook and doesn't wash his face..
Tim Duncan could have taken 30 shots a game in his prime too, but he never went on about it after big losses.
Big loser line there from Durant. I haven't watched many Thunder games this season as I CANNOT stand them anymore, but after tonight's game, again, he is darn lucky the refs get him to line to keep up his scoring average.

Oy vey.
I think he has become a bit of a skinny butthole. He is still a good kid, but the NBA macho smack talk has infected him a bit. I read somewhere he had been T-d up a whole lot more this year. So he is losing his acne...
He also stated "Spurs, they do such a great job at making me see guys and making me pass the ball". Couldn't understand what he meant there. Do the spurs leave guys deliberately open for him to pass to or pressure him to pass the ball.
Nike's #KDIsNotNice campaign too.
KD probably couldn't get 30 shot attempts because Westbrook would be taking them. The other reason KD probably couldn't get 30 shot attempts is because he gets every foul call under the sun. Don't get me wrong, the guy is the 2nd best player in the league and he made some amazing shots tonight and drew some crafty fouls. Sometimes it's so tough watching the Thunder because of the ridiculous calls he gets in his favor. KD gets calls that LBJ doesn't even get.
He sounded like a little tbh.
yes and no. he probably could have taken more shots if he wanted, but wanted to get team involved. westbrook denied him more shots than our defense did tbh. a lot of that could be a product of kawhi/jax playing good ball denial and defense keying on him, forcing him to pass more
He leads the league in technicals IIRC..
I don't blame him for that, though..he receives the most preferential treatment in NBA history IMO..he is now accustomed to rare treatment from the officials, thus leading to excessive complaining when the refs unexpectedly don't reach the quota, tbh..
He's the most pompous player in the NBA, next to VINO..
I think he means seeing the defense rotating, which forces him to give it up. He could also mean that the Spurs make him see openings that aren't there, which may have played a part in him five turnovers tonight.
I wasn't being sensitive at all. I was asking for everyone's opinion on whether Jack an Kawhi did a good job defensively on him and how much of his shot attempts were really a result of their defense. Or whether he just felt other guys were open and a better position to score. I think he SHOULD have taken 30 attempts, maybe then they could have won.

Psychiatric Danger
Since its introduction to the market, Accutane has been associated with a variety of adverse psychiatric effects, including depression, psychosis, mood swings, violent behavior, suicide, and suicide attempts.
I followed treatment with Accutane acne medication at the age of 16 years, now I have 23 years. While taking it I had no problem apart from that I psychologically double-checked always my actions. Later, when treatment was completed around 2 months I started to feel a drop of energy, as a lack of confidence and I had the impression of having symptoms of paranoid because I thought that people was always judging me and i had to verified. Five months later I had suicidal thoughts but very light, and I got a girlfriend and my symptoms of paranoid reappeared because I thought she was cheating me with someone else and strong suicidal thoughts reappeared to with symptoms of social-phobia . At that time I went to the hospital and the psychiatrist suggested to my parents put me into a centre for child because I was not on depression but with great thoughts of suicide. i stayed in the centre for 4 months and when i got out i was well.
Accutane and depression
Accutane has been linked to reports of depression and suicidal behavior among users. However, human studies have yielded conflicting results as to whether the drug itself contributes to these problems. Depression is a complex disorder and, therefore, difficult to pin down to a single cause. For example, Accutane users often have severe acne, which itself may lead to depression. Because the new study was conducted in mice, researchers were able to examine the direct effects of Accutane's active ingredient on signs of depression -- which, in mice, manifests as listless, sedentary behavior. They found that mice given the drug every day for six weeks began to show such lethargy during tests that gauged their stress responses. In contrast, the animals showed no movement problems in other situations, including tests of physical coordination. This suggests the drug's effects were depression-related, according to the researchers, led by Dr. Kally C. O'Reilly of the University of Texas at Austin. Accutane might alter the regulation of brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which are implicated in depression. Another possibility is that the drug might affect the production or survival of cells in brain regions linked to depression. Between 1982 and 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration received 431 reports of depression, suicide or suicidal behavior among Accutane users. Neuropsychopharmacology, 2006.
This whole "Wesbrook hurts KD" argument is overrated, tbh. They need the element he brings where you don't know who's going to play hero ball between two as it makes their game less predictable as opposed to how the Lakers' philosophy is usually, "Hey, let's let Kobe take his 50 shots so he can get at least 20 points and see if we win." With the Thunder, you have to prepare for either one of their Big two doing that and you'd think that would be harder to gameplan against.
No it's not overrated there's a reason they went away from their point guard and had Harden handle the ball at the end.
It is overrated. There is a reason they're the #2 seed without Harden back and that he keeps making AS appearances.
Durrant should be pissed at Westbrook. Durrant was on fire in the first half and he only got six shots off. He should have shot double that. Meanwhile Westbrook was off and took twice as many.
Spurs played good defense but the best scorer in the league knows how to get the ball. But Weatbrook was too busy trying to show that he is better than the second string point guards that were guarding him.
It seems like they did but Im not sure honestly, just know the results. The big thing is that this game was an important game for both teams and KD didnt do enough. If it was good defense, great. If it was bad offense, why was it bad offense on such a big game. Either way, Im smiling.
Durant's great, and to an extent he's right. But he relies a lot on FT's to get his points. If the refs don't screw us, we can beat OKC in a 7 game series. That's a big "if" though..
Whos's kidding? With the help of the refs, KD is absolutely the best player in the league!
