Oh there's no question that Durant is a better shooter the lebron that's obvious. But if your trying to infer there's an argument about KD challenging him for the top spot in the world then your wrong. Don't forget kd had his chance without russ last playoffs and got shut down by Memphis.

I sure am that argument holds little weight. KD is better now than then for one. Second KD hadn't played point forward. yet he put up great numbers against a team that quite frankly was built to beat a team like okc. so that is more of a team argument if you ask me.

breaking down their games KD has increased in almost every relevant facet of the game. Lebron is older and hasn't improved his shot a whole bunch. he's just afforded the luxury to pass mostly due to their team make up. although he is clearly producing off the charts. out KD on a team witch a coach and players built around him like Lebron and we are saying he's the best plate in the league. seems like some of y'all have near sight to what's actually going on as a whole.

And also play on a tougher conference.

I'm saying though
The momentum is always on the team who just won the previous game. Not to mention the Heat was home in game 7. Spurs lost the Finals after game 6. Confident wise they just weren't the same after the shocking lost in game 6. All the pressure exhaled from Lebron and the Heat after game 6.

The problem with what you are saying is simply that there was no pressure on Lebron in Game 7 of The NBA Finals....







Think about that for a second. There was no pressure on Lebron during GAME 7 OF THE NBA FINALS? That's just wrong :lol: any team who is playing in GAME 7 OF THE NBA FINALS has pressure on them. What you could say is that Game 6 gave Lebron and Co. some added confidence and faith going into game 7, which would be adequate. But No pressure at all? That's just flat out ridiculous.
 
Heat fans your last time in the Finals was last year. It's Paul George and KD time now. Lebron need a new wing man if he want to makes the Finals again let alone winning it. Your only hopes now is the refs to come and help one or two games here and there or one of Pacers starting 5 get an injury.

Be careful with those words pal. I don't think you actually believe that.
If you actually think wade isn't gonna show just wait.

It was like a one possession game with like two mins left. I wouldn't say the spurs lost all there confidence after there loss in game 6.

This jump in kds numbers is solely because he's being asked to do it all right now. Watch when Russ comes back hell go back to normal. Okc needs durant to go off like this to win games.

Whats the point of lebron showing out in the regular season right now? Wades resting every other day it seems like and bosh is playing well right now also. All he needs to do is play his regular game and collect wins there's no need to try and drop 40 a night unless he has to its the regular season he's playing for much more. And when he has to he does.

Heat controlled the whole game 7 bro. They knew it was for them to take it at home. Spurs basically lost their confident after game 6. After that they knew they have to go into enemy territory and take down Goliath. Now you tell me which team have less pressure? Look at history. How many away team win the FInals on the road?

One point game entering the 4th and you think the heat controlled the whole game? Controlling a whole game is what they did to okc game 5.

View media item 771011Matter a fact here's the box score how is this controlling the whole game

Nah im not the only one who think the Heat are not making the Finals.  Your chances lies in Wade health and whether or not Heat will have home court advantage. Gonna be tough beating the Pacers 4 out of 7 with no home court. Lebron will have to carry more weight at one point or another he's not going to be able to do everything. I'm gonna be there to enjoy watching the Heat get knocked off though. Gonna be fun to see how early Heat fans leaves the arena this time

Yea they were up through out most of the game werent they? That is controlling the game is it not?

Stop making excuses like the Heat was coming to Sprus home and had to win a game 7 on the road for the title. You know too well which team have the momentum and the confident. The Heat did.

I said no pressure at all? I said LESS pressure. Someone forgot to put on the glasses before he hit the reply button. Oh and playing at home in front of your fans is a lot better than playing on the road. Odds is on your side.

:lol: the heat didnt win a back to back game vs the pacers or the spurs until game 7 of the finals..
 
You gotta appreciate how teams like OKC, Portland and Indiana have really built great teams from the ground up. No superstar trades or signings, just good draft choices and a lot of player development.

They don't get enough credit for that.

I agree. We are in a different era now so it's rare to see that but when u do, u have to appreciate it.
