I now know why Bron needed K.Love and Kyrie to win the finals last season......

What a shot by Kyrie.....

Kyrie really stepping up....

Bron really having a bad game

I think the cavs will need their bench to bail them out in this game......

lolawilliams:
If you can't beat them, join them

A picture of torture..........Coming from an OKC fan.....

#THUNDERUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cavs getting complacent...

K.Love on fire!!!!!!!!

Nice move by Deron...

Roland17:
This result buttresses the argument to trade the pick and other guards for a PG13 or Hayward because IT can not take the Celtics past Bron.

I'll have to agree with you on that....

who is bringing out the beast in lebron??

lolawilliams:
LeBron James doing whatever he wants in TD garden

Hes just dominating in the paint ....

K.D showing us why he was signed by the warriors....

If warriors get their 3's rhythm, they will steal this game......

LMA showing up recently....looking like the player he was @ Blazers that put him in the conversation of one of the best Power Forwards in the game......

Eruditor:
Honestly, people don’t hate Russell Westbrook. However, Russell Westbrook is the classic Allen Iverson, Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury type player. They are going to put up great stats and look spectacular doing it. With that said, they are going to dominate the ball to the detriment of their team. Hence, none of them ever won titles, which is unfair to say because only so few do. But, one could argue that the Thunder had the most talented team in the league over the past 3–5 years.

If you watch guys like, LeBron and KD play, they generally make the right pass at the right time. They rarely sit with the ball, and dare I say, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble. Part of what makes the Warriors, Spurs, and Cavs (on occasion) so good (outside of talented players) is the way they swing the ball. And by swing the ball, I mean pass at the right time. Heck, go back and watch an old Jordan game when he started winning titles, he was constantly swinging the ball and rarely sat with it. I don’t foresee Russell changing his behavior as a player. I also think that’s a big reason Durant left too. Durant knew that Russell’s behavior wouldn’t change, and that greatly diminished their chances of winning a title/titles together.

Also, you should go back and watch Durant’s MVP season. There was a large swath of games during the early to mid part of that season where Russell was injured. If you watch, you’ll see that Durant was playing point forward (Steve Kerr actually has him doing this some in Golden State), and very effectively too. Often, Durant would bring the ball up the court and pass it within the first eight seconds of the shot clock, usually to a screening/picking Ibaka who would shoot a jumper or keep the ball moving. Basically, Durant was making the right basketball play. Also, after a slow start without the injured, Russell, the Thunder, and more importantly, Durant got rolling. During that stretch, Durant led an OKC team into Miami without Russell and won that game by more than 20 points. Later that season, when a healthy Russell was back in the lineup, Miami came to OKC and blew the Thunder out. While watching that second game between the two teams, it dawned on me that Russell was often not making the right basketball play. Russell was holding the ball too long, taking ill advised shots, and passing to Durant with usually less than eight seconds on the shot clock; when defenders knew he was going to have to shoot. An objective viewer could see that Russell’s playing style affected the Thunder and Durant’s rhythm. Basically, teammates never knew when they were going to get the ball, and Russell seemed to be more interested in stuffing his stats and taking it to the guy defending him.

Now, just because Russell is a stat stuffer, does not mean that he isn’t competitive. I think he may be one of the most competitive athletes I have ever seen. In addition, him and Durant won a lot of games while playing together and advanced deep in the playoffs. With that said, watch Durant and LeBron play. Yes, they have superior talent around them, but they seem to be more interested in the success of their teammates and team than they are with their own numbers. I hope I am wrong about Russell, because he is so explosive and fun to watch, but I don’t see him capable of playing in this fashion that will deliver titles…even if OKC assembles the talent around him to do it.

Am an OKC fan and K.D was my best player but K.D also let us down in last season western conference finals...I think it was all about who was the true leader of the OKC team,who would take the last shots etc and stuffs like that..Now by default,K.D was the leader of the team but Westbrook also has this ego of wanting to feel like he wants the ball most times,he wants to lead the team etc and as such there is bound to be disagreement in the team....Now next season,am rooting for my team (OKC) to get a superstar player that can shoot the ball but if you are a superstar,you have to put into consideration if you will be able to play with westbrook??after all we once had a Kevin Durant...If at all we get a superstar,i want to urge westbrook to distribute the ball more and trust in his team mates more....JUST MY OPINION.....
