Kevin Durant best closer in the game

[SBR Lou]

17 pts in 4th Q. Guy takes over games and doesn't pass rock like Lebron.

[Ockert12]

Guy is unstoppable.

Lebron looked very timid and passive tonight, I'll give you that. But don't you think you're a little quick on that statement? Durant is special and a great shooter but this is his first finals game. Let's see what he's got on the road before we name him best closer in the game. There are some pretty decent closers around the league who have earned their stripes

YEs

This team if they stay healthy will win 5 titles

Poor Lebron will never get one with team he is on

He made a big mistake going to play with Wade

How many scoring titles this guy gonna win before getting MVP? The finals MVP will hopefully help his cause next yr. He's future of basketball.

KD is the best player in the league and It's not even really close. Lebrick may have a little more athleticism, but KD's jumper is soooo much more consistent than lebricks. Not to mention, KD actually gets to the rim in two steps unlike lebricks 3 step dunks.

[TheBayouBengal]

Surprised he struggled like that early in the game.

[brahmabull117]

he's the best player in the league period

[TheBayouBengal]

And for whatever reason it seemed as if the team was struggling a bit. Apparently they made the right adjustments at the half. Also helped that they started hitting what they were throwing up too. Then momentum kicked in...the rest is history.

Want to add one more thing. In the 4th quarter the defensive rotation shrinks and everyone clogs the lane, not allowing drives, forcing teams to beat them with jumpers. Shooting is KDs strength. I'd say shooting is Lebrons weakness. So naturally, his game will struggle as the game nears the end. He then has to rely on collapsing the defense and kicking the ball out to open shooters. No opinion on who is better, just something to think about when critiquing.

It is close actually. KD's consistent jumper and long stride are his only advantages over LeBron.

LeBron is exponentially better than KD on defense, ball-handling, driving, strength, and athleticism.

I'm not a LeBron 'fan' btw.

LeBron will probably never be a Champion then. still needs to add MORE to his arsenal of shots just for that, the 4th quarter... small things, nifty... smart, tricky plays and moves

that and improve his free throw %

[jazzyj7]

The "jumper" is about all you need to be "strides" ahead. Lebron is the best driver in the game though.

[Delicious]

A game miami should have won. Lebron 45 minutes after a seven games with the c's.. Wade looks lost.. battier not scoring 17 again and thunder not shooting 29% from three again. this might be over in five. heat going to wear down, if not already. Sefalosha a beast on defense. Durant would average 36 a game with a true point guard.

[InTheDrink]

Wow...all this after one game

I love Durant but common fellas.

[Vinnie Paz]

Guy is just fukking lethal. He has that "it" factor, lives and dies for those moments. Been truly special to watch this guy ball

We are witnessing a dynasty in the making guys

[BigDofBA]

Durant has been doing it all playoffs but he still has doubters. I don't get it.

Durant only took a total of 4 shots in the 2nd and 3rd quarter and still scored 36.

I love how Durant always lights it up but he shoots like 60%. It's not like he is taking every shot.

[Delicious]

Wow...all this after one game

Miami looked lost and their "big 3" playing heavy minutes.......... where does the heat get the offense to keep up with OKC?

the defense just gave up 105 in game one so what now? they might get swept

[Ockert12]

Wow...all this after one game

I love Durant but common fellas.

He has proven time and time again throughout these playoffs that he can takeover in the 4th quarter and closeout games.

Yea but it's definitely no Prince James or Wade. So name a better closer?

[Balco10]

I am sick and tired of analysis claiming James is the best of all time. Colin Cowherd has a man crush on James and thinks he is the best ever. He also has a man crush on Tony Romo.

[paco]

Yes sir Lou!

[texhooper]

he sure is. so that leaves me wondering why he started to drive with a minute to go and then kicked it out to bosh for a three with the game teetering between over and "the heat just won't go away". the game wasn't over at that point, but after bosh bricked it, then it was. i (and the rest of america, i'm sure) will just never get why he does shit like that. he could at least try and get an and-1 or something. anything besides kicking it out to bosh for a goddamn three.

Durant rubbed his nuts on Lebrons face tonight in the 4th quarter

[Scorpion]

Fukk Lebum and his mother Gloria too

yeah but Bosh was hitting that 3 in the first quarters and 2nd quarters...



game in the balance, James to the hoop/Wade to the hoop... or a 3 pt shot from BOSH

[The Kraken]

KD's only the best player in the league as long as the Thunder win. That's how SBR works. As soon as the heat go up 2-1, guys gonna be saying "Oh, D-wade best ever"

Fools on here act like they've got dementia. They're all experts on the last game they watched or the last book they read and that's it.

[Deuce]

[Cuse0323]

Guy is fearless, I wouldn't call him the best closer yet but he has hit some big shots in crunch time for sure. He has quiet confidence and doesn't seem to get stressed out in any situation.

[face]

^ that picture deuce put up hahaaaaaaaaaa

[The Kraken]

Yep, guys stuck out like a penis on a forehead tonight. We could see them and we were all the way on the other side of the arena up in the nose-bleeds. I wondered who they were. Glad Deucer put that up.

Seems though like Riley would have better seats, preferably up in a suite somewhere. Weird.

[Tofudog]

What a great picture!!! Another classic (probably the best in the past month) from SBR that I can add to my "funny bball pictures" folder. Btw, its half filled with funny Photoshopped pictures of LBJ.. Thank you very much.

As far as KD vs. LBJ, only time will tell..

Mvp !!
