Your Favorite NBA player thinks "Roy over Durant"

[dok]

Fisher wasn't the only person guarding Westbrook. They tried putting Kobe, Sasha, and Farmar on Westbrook and he still got his. At the end of the day, Durant is a slightly more athletic Dirk and just like Dirk he will never win a Championship.

It was mostly Fisher in the first 4 games. Kobe didn't really guard him until Game 5. And I don't know if you know this, but Sasha missed the entire series with an ankle injury.

At the end of the day, Durant is a slightly more athletic Dirk
Dirk is a first ballot HOFer, so even if that's true (which it isn't), it's funny that you say that like it's a bad thing.

Teams would have just packed in the zone and made Lebron shoot the ball. With Durant, you can't just pack in the zone because he'll go off from anywhere. It's the one flaw in Lebron's game, and any analyst will agree, when it comes down to it, you can back off Lebron a bit and hope he chucks up a bad jumper. With Durant, you basically have to meet him 25 feet out because he'll kill you from everywhere.

Gotta be kidding me

1. Bron
2. KD
3. Wade
4. Kobe

Truest words you will ever read on NT.

Come on man, you don't believe KD is better than Wade, Bryant, Roy, Rose, Paul, Williams, Carmelo, even Joe Johnson. All these guys (With the exception of Johnson and MAYBE mellow) do more than Kevin Durant.

Oh my god.

This dude said JOE JOHNSON & DERRICK ROSE IS BETTER THAN DURANT

this dude said KD is better then wade?

True they would have packed the zone in and made lebron shoot but his outside shot is not as bad as people like to make it out to be. With lebron I think that there would have been even more fast break opportunities, and team usa would have had Lebron playing the high post in their zone offense where I think he would have excelled at. His passing ability would hve only helped the shooters like eric gordon and step curry in my opinion

Game 4 on, it was mostly Kobe and he turned Westbrook into a jump shooter and he got his and a terrible FG%.

 Coming from an Arizona fan.  Arizona fans are the most unknowledgeable fans I have ever come across in my whole life, by far.  
I didnt read this whole thread but I find it hard to believe that people actually are cosigning this idea.  Especially because Kobe's words were taken out of context anyways.

This is coming from a Warriors fan.

Nobody takes her seriously, though.

Damn Proshares, you love my name don't you?
And WhatsLosinLike ... you obviously know what losing is like ... you're a fan of the Rockets and Lebron.
