Never heard anybody say KD was trash in that finals. Harden absolutely. KD has gotten a pass his entire career the likes we've never seen from a superstar when he actually has come up small though.

OKC media was very protective of those players.  KD got rightfully hosed last year though.

All this right here. Harden was legendary trash, which I'm sure is what helped in the decision of moving him and keeping Ibaka.

nah, theres no narrative that says that any where. you were a fetus in 2012, how would you even know? Harden was trash. KD got cheated on that game winner in game 2. NBA some hos for that series.

I've only discussed it irl but i've heard numerous people say he looked scared of Bron, or he froze up, etc...
Don't know what games they were watching because he was torching Bron.

I'm sure it had a lot to do with it but that was a legendary overreaction and blunder.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the decision was keeping Kendrick Perkins over Harden?

I'm speaking to the point of using Harden's terrible performance in the finals as a justification to not offer him a max deal. Part that and being cheap chiefly.

KD has "gotten a pass"?

Cut it. He's come up big time in the playoffs a lot over his career. He's also had some failures.

It happens to damn near every great but Jordan :lol:. And even he failed.

2012 Thunder had no business even being in the finals. They arrived ahead of schedule. Spurs were RUNNING through the entire league....and was up 2-0 to Okc.

Then KD and crew got in their bag...Scott Brooks out coached pop....and the Thunder found themselves in a finals.

Untimely injuries and matchups ultimately stopped the Thunder from getting a chip with KD. He more than did his part

you know, now that i think about it, my bron fanboy friends always clown kd in relation to bron. they always say bron is in his head and has him shook. And says the memory of 2012 still haunts kd. whatever that means :lol:.


pretty sure kd gives brons buckets in the head to head. but i guess kd team's have taken a bunch of L's to him though since '12? is that true? I think i remember hearing that. like 7 or 8 straight L's til he got to gsw...the one after christmas lol.
 
best believe if the warriors win without kd or he plays bad in the finals.... he's gonna catch od slander.

If they win whoever plays slightly worse out of Steph or KD will be mobbed on NT and called a b**** and such.  I guarantee it.

He has got a pass from the media for the majority of his career until last year. Everything was blamed on Russ or the coach. That is a fact.

The "Steph is a team player". The "Steph is a good defender". The "Steph is a family man" talk will be heavy.



:lol:

Is that supposed to make us feel more sympathetic to these millionaires? Even crackhead Pat Bev kept reiterating he's a family man.
 
KD deserves slander if he joins a 73-9 team and doesn't win a Ring

But he'll be able to hide behithe injured shield this year
