NBA: Did Durant win two titles?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Or did he SIGN UP for two titles?

Fk this guy. Biggest faq ever. Funny thing...I used to LOVE goldSt b4 Durant arrived.

Stephen A Smith was right. Weakest move ever. What SUPER-STAR wants to ride coat-tails on a team that was already established?

True

Same could be said for lebron in miami

Yup how quickly people forget!!

[shadymcgrady]

Lots of soft minded people recycling espn garbage around here these days

[cwnotorious]

Shady are u really gonna compare the warriors pre Durant with the heat pre LeBron. The warriors won 73 games before Durant signed, the heat had bosh and wade

my thoughts exactly, what an original take by OP.

[cwnotorious]

Let's go even farther back with the Celtics getting Garnett. Garnett/rondo/peirce/Jesus shuttlesworth
How quickly ppl forget

No one touted kg as an all time great, big difference

In fact after he left Minnesota all talks of him and duncan as best pf just stopped. Duncan won by default

For what it's worth, kg influenced lebron's decision to leave cle and chase titles after Boston beat cle right at halfcourt on national tv

Wade was with the Heat. Bosh was in Toronto. Them and their buddy Lebron decided to form a super team after the Celtics bitch smacked the 1 seed Cavs.

Bosh and Wade were All-Stars but they had both toiled away for a few years without making any noise in the playoffs. Clearly they wanted to win and didn't mind joining forces.

Unless your under 40 and in good shape you don't stand a chance chucky

Not an old fat fukk and I don't drink or do drugs. I stay in shape, gamble, lose and pretty angry in general but I won't beat you to a pulp unless you give me a reason

Duncan vs. Garnett is the argument for why you go to the best situation possible. In their primes it was pretty even...only difference was one was on a winning team and one was wasting away in Minnesota.

KD is soft enough said.

[Grits n' Gravy]

He won them and to call him weak is just ignorant. He honored his contract for 9 seasons in OKC and busted his ass. When he had the opportunity to choose where to play next he decided he wanted to play with guys he was comfortable with and could win titles with. A weak person wouldn't leave the 50-70 mil on the table like did. Russ and him weren't going to win a ring together. If he had signed with a shit team like Brooklyn would that have made people happy?

Steven A Smith is just a loudmouth with a platform to scream his bullshit.

Best player on the best team in NBA. Single handily ended Cavs season tonight.

[Git Lo]

Curry signed up for his 3rd as well.

[A4K]

The league turned into coddled brats. Recruiting a super team to Miam and jumping to the defending champs is something I don't care for.

Im still amazed they won, I dont remember people picking them before they won it.

[5918mike]

KD is ballin, winning another title period!

[BigDofBA]

Golden State would have won this series without Durant but he played well so what do you say?

I mean, we all knew two years ago when he joined a 73 team that this was what was going to happen.

People ripped Lebron to shreds for going to Miami but KD's move was 100 times worse. It is what it is and it will continue until that team breaks up.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I think KD would have won in OKC with Westbrook but it's a free country. He had the right to do whatever he wanted to do. Someone will eventually dethrone the Warriors, maybe one of the Big 4 will leave for better pastures/$$$. The Cav's could have won 2 out of these 3 games but too many holes in this team, most notably a dumb ass head coach.

If Klay Thompson will just leave it will make the league a lot more competitive.

I didnt rip lebron for that one since I didnt automatically think championships with that team still, not with Bosh not being a dog on the inside since he's more finesse and likes to play outside the paint.

Teams have to figure out how to beat them. Houston almost did it. I think Boston will be better suited to beat them next year. The Cav's actually have the right team but the worst coach. Put a quality coach on the cavs and this series is 2-1 Cleveland. Hell, Cleveland lost game 3 last year down the stretch just like tonight. The Cav's defense is God awful. They don't know how to play defense. GS isn't doing anything unusual, Cleveland is just horseshit at defending.

[Goat Milk]

A bitch move by KD.

Agree that Lebron's move was no different. Lebron teamed up with the 3rd best player in the world....enough said.

KD teamed up with what, the 7th or 8th best?

Bitch move, but KD shits on everyone on that team. He's by far the best player. Curry and Thompson would never have more than 1 ring if not for Durant.

If you win finals MVP b2b, you didn't sign up for 2 rings. THat pretty much means you won them.

Cleveland's D is awful because their players suck dick bro!

How can anyone have faith in losers like Nance and Rodney Hood and Clarkson and JR Smith and Thompson bro?

NONE OF THOSE PLAYERS WOULD EVEN CRACK THE ROTATION ON THE WARRIORS, AND THEY START/PLAY QUALITIY MINUTES FOR CLEVELAND! ENOUGH SAID!!!

Buried by GRITS...
Stick a fork in the whole scenario!!

KD=KING DURANT

The Rockets/Warriors Western Conference Finals was the legitimate FINALS!!
The East and CAVS are a pathetic joke....

Really...Westbrook could never wear a ring.
Takes a team to win CHAMPIONSHIPS.

I'm convinced Houston was the better team. Better team doesn't always win. Too bad Paul got hurt and some of the guys on the Rockets channeled Starks game 7. This Warriors team is the weakest of the four Finals teams, easily. Only reason they are favored by so much over the Cavs is because this team is almost as bad as the 2007 version.

I think KD and Westbrook would have given Warriors run for their money last two years but obviously they weren't really as tight as everyone thought. Perhaps their relationship was fractured after the gigantic collapse to GS.

with all the goat talks lately i went back and watched game 6 of '96 finals on youtube. Pippen was right. MJ's load was not close to Lebron's. Not much different than KD. he had to score. Pippen, Rodman, and Ron Harper all good defenders. MJ 6'6 scottie 6'7 harper 6'6 rodman 6'8 and Longley 7'1. They were huge and great defensively and rebounding. And the 6th man was kukoc. 6'10 and the best european player at the time. With a coach that won 11 titles.
GM and coach matter so much. The ball moves on offense by design. They attacked the lane on defense. no free layups. Lebron and Bird are only players to win 3 titles w/o HOF coaches.

[tony_come]

Lebroom is no mj or Kobe, not offensively great. He's more valuable as a role player, defender, rebounder

Jane harden won MVP. So what?

Lebroom won't win another ring if he doesn't change his game.

[jm8122]

GSW with KD will 3 peat, then that it the window is closing. Teams are getting better in the West like Pelicans and Utah and will figure out GSW
