Tequilla predictably slithers out once the Warriors win, arrogantly proclaiming the up-by-six Cavaliers were doomed to lose at half and mocks anyone who thought otherwise as worthy of scorn. He makes Dawgman basketball posters look like Neil deGrasse Tyson.
That is dead even. Which is a loss for Durant because Westbrook is your number 2. He produced like a second option. Durant came up small.
Some context-
Durant went 10-31 in game 6, a home close out game. He went 1-7 in the 4th quarter as his team blew a 8 point lead.
In game 7 he was better. 10-19 shooting. 10 fourth quarter points. Great. Why did he only shoot 19 times? I know “Westbrook”. Except Durant took 31 shots the game before. Oh and they were down 10 the whole 4th quarter so great job getting meaningless points.
Durant is the best when you’re up 2-0 playing an inferior team. Oh no if Durant hadn’t been so great the Warriors would have won in 5 instead of 4. What a hero.

Lebron is the best ever when it fucking matters.
Except Jordan. Like always.
And Durant dropped 40 in game 5 which you conveniently left out of your stats. Throw that in and the ‘context’ changes entirely.

Fun with narratives.
You can't ignore Game 5 in your analysis of a series where Durant's team famously blew a 3-1 lead.

ISFRK
I hate Westrbook and like Durant but Durant was Batman and Westbrook was Robin for better or for worse.
Anybody that thought after the first half that the Cavs were winning that game is fucking stupid
We’re talking about winnable games here. Maybe if I make a PowerPoint presentation on it your dumbass could actually follow along?
If you play about as well as you can play for a half getting contributions that are above and beyond AND 2 of the other teams 3 best players basically did little in that half and you are only up 6 at half ... yeah, you are in a bit of trouble ... the whole regression to the mean thing

Wrong
I mock Dead Dog on the Road because that’s what I like to do
I give Haie shit for posting daily updates about a Portland team that got swept in Round 1
I give you shit because you let your bias of where you live irrationally cloud your judgement on the Warriors. Also, because of your age you are on the cut line for not really ever watching MJ play at the time and because LBJ is the greatest you’ve seen with your eyes you get irrational with anybody that doesn’t agree with your opinion
GS is the flukiest dynasty of all tim. Come at me bro.
2015 Finals - Play a Cavs team that loses Kyrie to injury in game 1 of the Finals, and whose second best player after him is Timofey Mozgov.
2016 Finals - What was supposedly the greatest team of all-time chokes its ass off in a collapse for the ages. Don't give me the Draymond shit excuse. He was there for game 6 and game 7 at home.
2017 WCF - Spurs are stomping on their dicks in game one of the WCF and then Kawhi (best two-way player in the league) gets hurt and GS rolls from there.
2018 playoffs - play the Spurs sans-Kawhi in round one, no Boogie Cousins for NO in the semis, Houston up 3 - 2 in the WCF and Chris Paul goes down and misses the final two games.

FUUUCK.
Nice work disregarding Bogut going down to injury in Game 5-2016, Steph not playing due to injury this year and Iggy being hurt up through last night.
Cuts both ways if you want to play that game. Steph and Iggy at full health this year is fo'-fo'-fo'-fo' to quote the great philosopher Moses Malone.
Game 5 doesn’t swing anything for Durant. Westbrook shot the ball better, had more assists and steals. Durant went 3-10 in the fourth quarter and Westbrook shot 4-8. That’s your big trump card?

Westbrook was -14 in Game 5.
Durant and Westbrook were both negative in all 3 games. Durant was better than Westbrook but we don’t know what lineups each was playing in with the other out.
Plus minus can be a wonky stat. Dion Waiter for example was plus 7 in game 7 while shooting 2-9. Enes Kanter was +15 in 10 minutes in game 6. Over a whole season +/- is an ok stat but not over 3 games.
