Im really feeling Durant, I believe he will have more than 40 if he get back into the game
Durant is in beast mode. Big game player, and the warriors have gifted comeback attempts to the OkC when he goes to the bench

westbrook has been so exceptional this season, but it comes to facing Durant, We all know what happens...I'm sure if warriors meet Thunder in Playoff, the score can't be anything less than 4-0 grin

@smooshCHN
You only had to wait for it, it was surely gonna come : GSW at some point were defo gonna pull away. They're doing just that.
Meanwhile, Westbrook on 21 triple doubles. If he gets up to Wilt Chamberlain's record (he is already on pace), he would surely be the regular season MVP

@emboldened, nope he won't as league standings is pivotal. Not saying he is not having an incredible season but most of his heroics have to account for wins.

Westbrook is more concerned about his ego and triple-doubles than the success of that team.
I don't think he would even succeed if surrounded by superstars.

Western Conference All Star Game Starters

WESTERN CONFERENCE
Stephen Curry PG / Golden State Warriors
Curry won because the tiebreaker goes to the fan vote. Curry finished No.1 in fan vote, showing how much people still love his brand of unbelievable 3-pointers and behind the back passes, no matter what lead he helped lose in the Finals. He's arguably the league's most popular player after LeBron James. The media and players selected Curry third, which was the only real option with Chris Paul's injury and no other real contenders, and that put him into a tie with Westbrook. Westbrook is undeniably one of the biggest snubs in league history here.

James Harden SG / Houston Rockets
Harden was a no-brainer and finished No.2 on all three ballots. That shows Harden's resurgent popularity this season, and the respect he's gathering from the media. Players have always respected him. It is notable that he finished second in the media vote behind Westbrook, which could give some indication as to how the MVP vote is looking this season. It's Harden's fifth straight All-Star selection, all since he was traded to Houston.

Kevin Durant SF / Golden State Warriors
A no-brainer, Durant is the best player on the best team in the league, record-wise, and inarguably the second-best player in the league. His eighth All-Star appearance comes as he was the No.1 vote getter in the fan, player, and media votes for forwards. It's enough to make you wonder if he could get more of an MVP share than we thought.

Kawhi Leonard SF / San Antonio Spurs
Leonard makes the list for the second-straight year, and has been the best player for the second-best team in the West. His efficiency is through the roof and he's still the most feared perimeter defender in the league. Leonard was second in the player and media votes, making up for being third in the fan vote.

Anthony Davis PF / New Orleans Pelicans
The Unibrow could have used this last year when his contract-incentive structure was impacted by not making it. But he's now a four-time All-Star and has been so good, even the Pelicans' woeful record couldn't hurt him.

According to the vote process, he was ties with Harden and Curry on 2.0 so the next process was to select based on popular vote. Which Harden and Curry had more votes from fans.. So apparently Westbrook fans didn't do enough or people just enjoyed Harden and Curry more

even Draymond as a last scoring option on a particular possession,after you somehow manage to curtail the rest of the team is still not a good look for your team.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:53am On Jan 21, 2017
Kevin Durant is the best thing that has happened to GSW this season. The way he defends against top players is something to talk about.
I reckon he would be asked to guard James during the finals, in rotation with Green
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:07am On Jan 21, 2017
The Lakers, Timberwolves and most importantly the Sixers have all impressed me this season. These teams exemplify the importance of patience in the rebuilding process. The Sixers in the east and the Wolves in the dreaded west have the best shot of continuing this gradual process in their respective conferences. The Lakers i think are yet to identify who they are centrally building around, they have a long way to go in comparison to the Wolves and the Sixers.

If J. Embiid ("The Process") stays healthy next season and they get Ben Simmons back they have the potential to fight for the 8th spot in the Eastern conference. The Wolves have a good bunch led by the BIG KAT, Wiggins and Zach.
