Is Kevin Durant height really 6"9??  

Isn't he 6'11

 

[da doc03]

Lets appreciate the work KD is doing while playing alongside 3 bench players that start, a 47 year old PG, and an inconsistent Kevin Martin

  

Durant's averaging 36-11-6-1-1 on 51% FG and 63% TS since Westbrook went down

 

[Peep Game]

at Barkley basically saying he'll kill Skip Bayless

KD is taller than Serge and Perk.
Perkins, who I already have very low expectations of, played a Kwame Brown caliber horrendous game of basketball last night. It was flat out comical. He gets his hand on balls (rebounds and passes) but doesn't secure them more than every other player in the league combined. Add to that the inability to make even wide open dunks and layups, the comical bad, ambitious defense trying to over hedge on pick and roll and get back, and his 9 million dollar salary and it's such a glaring hole to any title hopes. Why Presti would sign him to such a contract after ACL surgery before him ever playing a game is beyond me.

And yes, Durant flops and OKC gets ridiculous, at times, calls at home. And Kevin Martin is a bum.

And Nick Collison might be the only player in history to get a standing ovation for giving up an and 1 and fouling out. He finished with 15 minutes, 0 everythings, 4 turnovers, and a foul. It was like the 3rd loudest the crowd got all night

I didn't even realize Durant finished with 36, 11, and 9. He makes it look so effortless.

We are going to lose

Mike Conley- 10 rebounds. Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins combined- 11.

I knew Tony Allen can't make layups, and he makes them even harder on himself trying to jump into people, but didn't Tayshaun Prince use to have some type of offensive game? Or maybe it just seemed that way because Pistons were relevant in the East during the era you only had to score 65 to win.

Serge is playing terrible because Keri Hilson is coming to games again. Has to be. These are wide open shots he normally knocks down, at over 51% rate from the midrange during the regular season (with Russ in anyways)

Thabo's wife,

 

[do work son]

Perk always has that same Damn face on

 

[ill steelo]

Perk brings that valuable championship experience, though

 

[bhzmafia14]

Mike Conley the 4th player in the last 25 years to record at least 26 points, 10 rebound and 9 assists on a road playoff game. The other 3 were MIchael Jordan, Lebron James and Baron Davis.

Putting B Diddy on the end of that made the stat seem kinda (even though he was a beast in his prime)....(when he's healthy).

 

[CHAOSE57]

Karl wins COY.

The NBA has been know to give some players a few inches, but I dont think Durant is 6'9.

I've seen him in person, if anything, that boy 7 foot...

 

[gllahone84]

Some arenas might have other things booked like concerts of something like that. I think Chicago has a hockey game on Sunday at their stadium that's why the bulls and heat aren't playing Sunday.

I always factor in other events myself. 

 

[don ramon]

Karl wins COY.

if this is true, he don't deserve it

 

[antidope]

Karl wins COY.

Came in here to say that this is nonsense. Where is CP when you need him.

Followed by Erik Sporlstra, Mike woodson, Pop, and Frank Vogel.

The entire thing is wrong. Where's Mark Jackson where is Thibs???? Ridiculous

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Mike Conley- 10 rebounds. Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins combined- 11.

Is this for serious? :x

He was measured at 6'9 (barefoot) at 19 when he was drafted. I'm pretty sure he's grown since then. Probably 6'10 1/2, almost 7 feet in shoes.

 

[franco23x]

Mike Conley so underrated

 

[champcruthik]

Better than Ty Lawson?

 

[Hahahaha]

Tiibbs finished 8th, what a joke. Very impressed with what him and Vogul did with injuries and turned their teams into defensive monsters.

I still don't know what Karl did that earned him first place.

Spoelstra at second is a joke.


My personal picks were Tibbs, Vogul, Mark Jackson and Woodson.

 

[bhzmafia14]

I'm not even going to say nothing.

 

[Hahahaha]

If Russ really wanted to be the man he wouldn't have taken less money to be the #2 guy. He did that so he can win.

Not sure how you came to this. He got an 80 mil dollar contract extension. His value wasn't as high back then and people considered that to be too much at that time. He got paid and doesn't have to take the fall like KD if they lose. Not questioning whether he's a team player or not but let's not act like he took a huge cut to be a loyal Thunder

 

[sea manup]

when is the last time a COTY won a championship the same year?

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Better than Ty Lawson?

I'd say so considering he plays in an offense than doesn't lead to number inflation. Much harder to do what he does than Lawson does in that high-speed offense imo.

 

[ripc]

For a regular-season award, I think George Karl is pretty deserving.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

I'm not even going to say nothing.

Finally.

 

[diewitsjames]

george karl coty... i dont even....
