    I've been a defender for years.No More. Durant CAN'T take a game over.

    This series has really exposed guys like Curry, but also Durant. I hear top all the time.

    When his shot is off he's shit. Even when Lebron can't make shit he just takes over and drives and scores.

    If Durant was Top 3 he'd be taking over right now. Instead much rimming everything from way out.

    Yeah it's brutal. He's always lived off his shooting. When it's off he can't do anything.

    The greats always fight through and find a way

    He doesn't have to take over though, not yet at least. Plenty of shooters around him. If it gets tight late in the 4th, he'll take over

    I watched their last late loss and he was flaying in the wind.

    I'm from Seattle and remember him as a Sonic. This isn't easy for me. I'll eat crow if it happens tonight.

    And it'd better happen, tonight.

    He's never been built that way, this isn't 1983 for better or worse it is what it is. Nba is soft now

    Lebron is a once in a lifetime player

    Swingmen that were predecessors and prototypes to durant never put their heads down and drove in crunch time

    Kobe, mcgrady, vinsanity, etc. None of them

    Makes sense. I think the phrase great player is overused.

    I just finished and posted the huge win in hockey and now am winning in hoops. That flipped quick.

    OK?

    Game high 34 points
    5 boards
    5 assists

    3 blocks

    Warriors to finals.

    What more could he have done?

    Tucker was owning him in 1st half on the boards, not to mention Capella owning everyone.

    Durant and Curry keep coming at you and eventually wear you down most games
