Durant had the ball enough. His problem is he's too afraid to do anything of import with it.
Last night with the game within striking distance, Westbrook continued to jack up horrible shots with Durant not even touching the ball. As the "leader" and team's best player Durant should've demanded the ball but seems he doesn't have the nuts to do so. So my question is, do you think Durant is to big a pussy for this team to go far?

YES. Miami has two of the biggest egos in sports today and it isn't a problem with who finishes the game for them.
But this is not solely Durant's fault. Westbrook has been a liability to his development, and I'd consider trading him right now. However he plays a major role in it. Time to shed your humble image buddy. Those who win championships are ruthless mother ers.
He should just give up and join a team with a top 5 player imho Maybe go somewhere with nice weather.
I don't like Durant but I'm giving him a pass because he's too young for such criticism. This is just his second trip in the post season and he has already made huge strides at such an early start.
Any other younger player would probably act the same way, well except Kobe. Kobe @ 23 was destroying franchise/dynasty and snitching on people and like that.
So yeah maybe Westbrook is too young to be criticised for his ball-hogging ways.
He was also helping the Lakers win rings at 23
Durant's mistake was not asking the ball that much but if westbrook had at least a decent bball IQ he would know that when the game is on the line it has to be Durant to make things work for them
Thunder could've won last night if it wasn't for rushed shots from Westbrook. Durant should've took over regardless of the bad night he was having. He just doesn't seem to have the personality to demand the ball and go in for the kill.
That's skill related though, Westbrook knows damn well the concept of passing the ball and taking good shots. They taught that in HS, thats like elementary stuff Venti.
but leadership?I think it takes time and most successful players needed a lot of experience before they grew up and became men.
I think Magic was the only player and maybe Duncan to have natural leadership abilities at such an early age. That leadership thing don't grow overnight. I know this from personal experience. It took me a while before I became a supervisor @ a Gap store.
yeah, if your going to lose then at least let your superstar make the final plays
Westbrook wasn't doing a whole lot of passing dumb
Great example there. I want to see you dislocate your shoulder and see how you tough it out.
some of what happened last night though wasnt his fault because he didnt even have a chance to assert himself. several posessions they just went and jacked up a bad shot with like 20 seconds still on the shot clock. nothing he can do about that if they are going to be total dumbasses.
Yes, thank you captain obvious. The thread is about Durant demanding the ball.
There were 4 straight bad possessions there.
Cook 3 pointer way off
Harden 3 pointer clank
Westbrook 3 point brick
Westbrook jumper missed
Brooks should've called a TO after the first 2 attempts tbh.
He wouldn't have gotten it. Everyone on the team was trying to go 1-on-1
Yes again, the point is he as the teams best player did not demand the ball. This is not about what happened but what didn't. Is this to much for your peanut brain to process?
Kinda hard to demand the ball when your teammates chuck up shots before you get down court
Next time the ball is inbounded or in the time out.
Most, def ...even the shy humble Duncan has that trait in spades ...obviously Kobe, MJ Magic and Bird. Lebron needs cut his loose again, Durant teh same. Dirk proving he may have it too ...
And also Brooks needs to bench Perk. PErk on teh floor is making it easy for MAvs to double Durant.
Let PErk start, but Ibaka should get most of teh center mins. and Collison the bulk of the PF mins.
UCLA fans defending Westbrook
I bet Durant wanted to shoot those mofos towards the end of the game where they chucked up like 3 straight horrible bricked three pointers down 6.
