    I'm sorry but did Durant even score a point in OT? The durant-lebron conversation needs to die, seriously

    Maybe RoadDawg can finally admit he was wrong on the Durant-Lebron talk.

    No way if you switch them you have the same result no way.

    If Durant was on OKC they would be going to the Finals IMO. Lebron simply makes his teammates better that has to count for something.

    Durant definitely dropped a notch in the playoffs to me. He really struggled in the Memphis series but just wasn't anything approaching clutch or unguardable more than a game here or there. No question LeBron is far and away the best player in the game right now. This won't be popular, but at this point I think George is closer to Durant than Durant is to James.

    But still, that Westbrook shot.

    Durant has no inside game yet which is the disappointment. He's still a catch and shoot guy. He relies on jumpers while late in the game when you are playing 50 minutes your legs are tired. So it's tough to make jumpers.

    Why Westbrook could still score but Durant couldn't. When Durant puts the ball on the floor it's just awkward to watch.

    Ugh, no. Durant didn't play well in the clutch today. Saying he's awkward with the ball is FS. Name a better ball handler that is 6'10" or taller.

    Damn that was quick! Yes that is the play I'm talking about with his ball handling.

    I saw him struggle against Memphis when he had to put the ball on the floor.

    Yeah, his ball handling isn't the issue, it's that he isn't very good at using his length and skills against smaller players in the post. Dude should try to get a little stronger this off season.

    RoadDawg do you still think the gap between Durant and Lebron is close? Hopefully these playoffs showed that the gap is still very wide.

    I agree with this. The fact he can't post up a Tony Allen makes it possible to guard a guy who really should be unguardable.
