    Durant Really Starting To Become Big Time

    Guy is unstoppable now, I think he is already better than Anthony.

    Durant, 6th in scoring. He is good.

    3 guys not talked about, that are pretty good
    Kevin Durant 6th in scoring
    Danny Granger 5th in scoring
    Devin Harris 10th in scoring

    Should rename the team the Oklahoma City Durant, he IS the team, I couldn't name another player on that team if you paid me, he should be MVP, I know it never goes to a player on a team as bad as OKC but he is the most valuable player to his team in the league by far, without Kobe the Lakers would still be a decent team, without Lebron the Cavs would still win games assuming both players were replaced with avg players, you replace Durant with an average player and OKC wins 2 games a year

    Yeah, so the only thing he has to do now is score 40 per game and OKC is in finals. Nuh-uh.
    I personally like KD and think the kid's great, but hes got a lot of spinach to eat before he becomes that big of a pressence.

    he needs to develop his post up move, penetration. use his length, height, agility, youth.
    he needs to pick his shots better at crucial ties, especially last shots which can win or spell a lose for the team.
    a nice kid with a lot of room for improvement. needs to work out more in the off season.

    whoa, cavs without LJ can win games? who will shoot the ball, mo? Z? then? pavlovich, yes, but wally is over the hill with injuries, he cant jump anymore and gibson should play in Devp league.

    LAL without kobe is grizzlies, my man.

    durant is fine cause he is in OKC. but he needs to develop to be a nowitski, ginobili, LJ , Kobe.

    its not just about scoring, can he stop those guys. ever heard of defense wins games.

    MJ learned that the hard way against the pistons. build the body in the off season, play Defense and then winning games can be easier

    OKC up 1-0 rd 1 2012 ....

    KD with a buzzer beater:

    With his team trailing by one late in the fourth quarter, he forced his way toward the lane and found himself with defenders closing in and the clock winding down.
    Durant maneuvered to the free throw line and got off a high-arcing shot over Shawn Marion that hit off the front of the rim and then off the backboard before falling through the net.
    The defending NBA champion Mavericks, who were out of timeouts, could not get a shot off before the buzzer.

    NO way LeBron takes that shot at the end. THAT is what separates the two players....Durant not afraid to have the ball in his hands when it matters.

    Durant nothing without Westbrook. Westbrook kept them in that game while Durant was clanging wide open jumper after jumper. Westbrook is MVP of that team. Lucky for Durant, Westbrook willing to share the spotlight.

    If you couldn't name another player on OKC, if someone paid you, I seriously hope you don't bet the sport.

    Team is full of great talent.

    Westbrook is easily one of the best PG's in the league. Elite scorer and defender for the position.
    Harden is the best 6th man in the league, would start for every other team in the league and put up 20ppg
    Ibaka is an elite big man defender.

    and they have decent roll players. Sure, they aren't the Heat as far as superstars, or the Bulls as far as depth, but they should be playing the heat in the finals.

    Harden is the key. Guy scored 40 off the bench a week ago.. If westbrook moves the ball to him and durant more often then these guys are incredible

    I love okc but they will have BIG problems soon!

    Durant chooses not to drive to the lane and instead settles for stupid jumpers.. Lucky shot yesterday and a terrible shot for that time. He's gotta man up soon!

    So launching bad shots is better than finding wide open teammates for easy ones?

    Durant is now 4 for 18 on game winning shots. That is pathetic, he has cost his team 14 games out of 18

    Durant is unreal.. He has heart and is extremely clutch.. he is like the opposite of Lebron, put lebron in that situation he runs from the ball or misses free throws which won't show up on people's gay ass metric charts.

    Again, durant is nowhere close to clutch. That was a dumb shot that got a lucky bounce. Making 4 game winning shots in his career out of 18 doesnt count as clutch

    Exactly, if he doesn't get that lucky bounce on that ugly a$$ one-handed jumper everyone is criticizing him.

    Unfortunately, Mavs can call and make tee-times now because they needed that game and outplayed OKC.

    Idk about Westbrook being the MVP of that team, but i def agree OKC is nothing without him and if it wasnt for ibaka they would have no defense.

    Yeah, if you take away our two all-stars (Durant and Westbrook), then you take away the NBA's leading shot blocker in Ibaka, we wouldn't be as good.

    Nice analysis.
