    Durant being shut down

    The guy just isn't physical enough. Westbrook has made some clutch shots here but this is when you need your star to step up and take over. KD has been a non-factor in the overtimes.

    huh? i agree he wasn't scoring but that's because he wasn't getting the ball. it was just westbrook playing all by himself.

    Lol only took him 3 OT's to make a shot. What's laughable is how he can't get the ball inside the 3 point line. Battier makes him run out to halfcourt

    I agree with the premise of this thread t-wizz.

    With that being said, that was a damn tough shot he just hit.

    We literally went halfway through the 3rd overtime until he did anything whatsoever. The only reason Westbrook was shooting the ball and dribbling so much was because Durant couldn't get himself open. But no one wants to realize that, everyone just wants to bitch about Westbrook shooting too much.

    the guy hits a dagger at the end, but ya your right, the guy was non-existent in overtime up until then. Westbrook was the man of the game . If the thunder lost, that would of been the last time I bet them, so frustrating to watch this team play. Their entire offense is Westbrook driving to the hoop or Durant chucking up a 20ft+ jumper.

    Love how all the Durant lovers are mad at this thread. Take a look at the time this thread was created and the time of the first response. Of course none of them had anything to say until the guy made a shot.

    definitely true to a certain extent, but it doesn't help when Durant is going straight to the corner and then sightseeing for the rest of the offensive drive.

    I think Westbrook tries to make Durant look bad, 9 seconds to go after a time out, he dribbles the ball for 7 seconds and passes the ball to Durant at halfcourt lol.

    And two more turnovers while handling the ball a lot less.

    One might forget how to handle the ball after not touching it for 9 minutes.

    The key to memphis next game is to do the exact same defense on Durant. Give Durant nothing and put a body on Durant at all times so that he will not touch the ball. When your main bread and butter is not eating the basket, the team will have weakness.

    This game here exposes a lot of things and too bad the adjustment only comes in during these OT moments. Where was the Defense in regulation?

    Durant had an off game and still scored 35. I guess the guy has no talent.
