Memphis makes the finals IMO. They can even bet Miami when you look t the matchup, so I want to see Marc and Zach make a deep run

Also don't think KD is that great and that Westbrook is their best all around player, so I see OKC struggling and Durants image taking a hit.

 

[Hoss]

There's even a good shot for the Nuggets to make it, really. The West is more or less wide open now.

The day Iggy can create in a halfcourt set reliably lol

Guy is 6'10 and can play like a guard, score as good as anybody anywhere on the court, can rebound and only getting better defensively and with his playmaking. Guy would probably be a 2 time MVP if a guy named Lebron wasn't around but according to you "isn't that great" I'm a fan of Westbrook and think he gets too much shit but I'm not stupid enough to think he is actually better than Durant.

 

[Hoss]

Ehhh. Westbrook is probably as good as Durant if you ask me. He's strong in the areas that Durant sorta lacks and that is physicality and defense and I would say strength in his position. He also sticks out more as a leader to the offense than KD does to me. I think the Playoffs this year will show Kevin's true colors as a team captain, leader and playmaker.

 

[PHX]

I don't have a problem with anybody saying he is as good as Durant cause he is that talented just think it is bs to say he is not only better than Durant but Durant is "not that great"

 

[Hoss]

I can see that.

 

[SAIYANS]

I mean Durant isn't that great because he's never had to facilitate, ball handle, or even be keyed innonnfor his drives because of Russ. Russ being as freaky as he is allows KD a lot of room to operate and play. He's also just amazing as a guard for a defender and rebounder.

i know KD is good but I've never thought he was T-Mac, Kobe, Iverson great like a decade ago when they were jut all flat out beasts on the perimeter. This will tell just how great he is as a complete player as all he's eve had to do is score and not even worry about having floors tilted to him because of his other perimeter threats.

Westbrook gets a lot of shit, but he's the more well rounded player, didnt mean better, but he's definitely more well rounded and versatile than Durant. Hope he gets appreciated more now. Is like when people tried to say keep Hrden over him when Harden is not as good and the team would've been worse

 

[SAIYANS]

I am saying it now, KD isn't as good as Melo. Never thought he was his equal or his better, just that Westbrook was good enough to let him play without being keyed in on

Pretty sure he can and does handle the ball hence me saying he is a 6'10 player with guard skills. He isn't Lebron level when it comes to handling the ball and dishing it but he's pretty solid at it for 6'10 guy and is only going to get better. I agree that Westbrook helps takes some pressure off of him but Durant does the same for Westbrook. And as far as perimeter play he is one of the best in the league and is ever bit in the class of guys you mentioned. And as far as versatility he can play 2 through 4 even 5 if they wanted to create a mismatch having a bigger slower guy guarding him. The thing we do seem to see eye to eye on is that Westbrook needs more appreciation as he really doesn't get it for being a special breed at PG but I'm not going to disrespect Durant and act like he isn't a top 3 player in this league and doesn't have the ability to carry a team on his back if he had to.

We shall see another KD, Mak we shall see, but I don't think he's as good as Melo let alone bron.



Sums up the season and series

 

[Hoss]

Did he call him douchebag?

Dwight such a dirty cunt.

 

[PHX]

Nah I don't think he is or will be as good as Lebron until he gets on Lebron's level as a defender at least as well as a facilitator. But I like him a tad bit better than Melo because Melo is not as good as a ball handler or playmaker at all even though Melo's scoring ability is probably the most complete in the NBA imo.

On another note this GSW/Den series is awesome as I thought it would be.

Dwight such a dirty cunt.

Whatever he said Duncan looked amused :

 

[SAIYANS]

Fuck you douchebag is what I think he said. I came after the refs said no foul on this play

Tim was trolling him
