3 seasons without Durant, 3 first round exits and a total of 4 wins

Westbrick might just be the most overrated star of all time. I understand the criticism Durant gets for joining GS but he was right in his decision to leave. You can't expect a player of KD's caliber to waste his prime next to Westcancer.

Here I am! 5 for 21 at home? After talking all that on the court....and hiding from the media off the court? "Next question!!"

Damn...Bernardo going in dry tbh

[baseline bum]

They were hovering around the top 3 seeds for a long time though. They went into a tail spin to end the season. They are flawed but damn they should be better with two top 15 players and that much athleticism

OK on PG13 but no way Adams is a top 15 player

I seen what you did there, why you trying to diss my (our) former Bruin like that, Bum?!!

I miss that Bruin, the one who played defense and didn't statpad.

I will say his defense has slipped quite a bit.
The one thing I will give him despite being an assist ...I never thought he could be an effective PG (he didnt even play PG in college or HS) at times he has been that. his playmaking has improved tremendously since those days as his defense has slipped. I just wonder if the spacing for those passes will be there as his athleticism declines.Problem is his shot selection is still poor (achilles like at times)

PG choosing to stay and play with this cancer

Chucker can’t get out of the first round without Durant holding his hand

Talking all that and continuing to get that ass beat

Mental midget

Imagine being Paul George thinking he could be on the beach right now in the City of Angels gearing up to play with one of the most efficient players in NBA history next season instead of the most overrated least efficient star the league has seen since Iverson.

He's making $30.6 million this year and around $106 million over the next three years and will be getting ready to hit the beach in a couple of days. I think he's good.

Good personally but not professionally. Imagine *playing* in LA with LeBron vs watching Westbrook miss 15 shots a game in the playoffs.

He'll get to go on vacation every April playing next to Westbrook though.

Yeah, PG's decision was a mystery to me, but that just shows how much emotion and relationships play a part in these things. If Kawhi stays with Toronto, it might permanently change the way GMs handle trade requests, and maybe how players & agents request them. It seems now like New Orleans will try to change AD's mind this off season, but if that doesn't work will trade him to any team but the Lakers.

[Arcadian]

Some people feel like fandom is a zero-sum game. "I hate Durant, and he played with Westbrook...so I guess I have to defend Westbrook!"

You really don't.

probably upstairs rooting for his hometown Sp*rs

Nobody is turning on a Thunder game to watch Russ play smart basketball and try to win games, we want to watch him take 30 shots and make history with triple doubles(that nobody else in history could match)..

There's a reason he's so popular, despite his flaws, and his teammates love him..

[BD24]

So now winning isn’t important? Got it.

the point is that his style of play is an hetical to winning. thats all we're talking about. nobody denies that he's talented and fun to watch.
