In one on one situations LeBron beat him for layups/dunks on 3 consecutive plays, he didn't even move his feet. That was horrible defense regardless of the player he was guarding.

Yeah because Durant is the only player to get beat 1 on 1 by James.

He beats average defenders all the time.

 

[RamziD]

LeBron misses a FT... Durant is clutch... yet again...

 

[Jammer]

He beats average defenders all the time.

Sarcasm lost???

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Durant is just too good.

OKC has just finally started to play defense.

Miami is also screwing up, having the offense start with Wade.

Bosh and LeBron need to be the ones touching the basketball right now, running the high pick and roll. OKC has to respect Bosh's outside shot and LeBron is deadly driving to the basket off the screen. But I'm not coaching them, Spoelstra is...if you want to call it coaching right now.

This is the problem from before -- rather than take a back seat, Wade starts to try and "take over" and LeBron just lets him do it, rather than asserting himself as the best player on that team. They'll lose if LeBron doesn't go and get the ball from Wade immediately. They were successful when LeBron started the offense at the top of the key. Now with Wade, they're suffering.

At 23 he very well may be the best player in the league...

Being a Heat fan is so dang frustrating.

If so, the you should sleep well at night. WB is the reason the Thunder came back. His energy and passion is insane. I've said it before, the kid has heart.

Yep. The Westbrook haters are way off base.

It's not his fault that he is a SG playing PG.

 

[NeonNinja]

Durant is a beast.

I'd take him over LeBron without a doubt.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

That'll do it.

Without question. He's only 23 years old. Scary.

Thought you were just going for Heat to piss off the haters?

I'd limit Perkins minutes IMO.

Collison>Perkins

Perkins really is useless against an opponent like this with no low post scorer.

I get so frustrated when he shoots or, even worse, tries to dribble in the lane.

Against the Heat yeah.

I agree. I'd rather have someone in that isn't so one dimensional. With Ibaka coming along, I wouldn't be surprised if he is amnestied soon for a more well rounded player.

Go Thunder!!!
