Kevin Durant Signs With The Golden State Warriors

[kingofnyc]

Westbrook dominates the ball more than Curry, that is an undisputed fact. GS shares the ball with each other more than any other team in the league, equal opportunity scoring for players 1-5 and as a result of that they usually don't have problems getting the shots they want.

KD was in favor of getting a HC that would have them sharing the ball more and he thought he got that coach in Donovan. Instead, they had a coach who didn't want to step on anyone's toes, told Westbrook and KD to be the best Westbrook and KD they could be and play their game. So OKC ended up having the very same iso-heavy offense where Westbrook and KD take turns beating their man 1 on 1. KD knew that they would be doing the exact same thing they have been doing the past 10 years for the next 10 years, and said fukk that I'm out of here.

Just to give you perspective on how Westbrook has ruined OKC's offense, Scott Brooks wasn't always known as a shytty coach, when they went to the finals KD was damn near Reggie Miller. OKC set all types of off-ball screens for him to free him up and he never really held the ball, and that opened the offense up for everyone including Ibaka, Westbrook and Harden. Harden was THE decision maker down the stretch for OKC, the ball was not in Westbrook's hands. I love Westbrook and I think we will never see another player like him, but him and KD needed to go their separate ways in order for them to grow as players.

KD had every reason in the world to leave OKC from just a basketball standpoint, never mind the legacy standpoint. You can hate on him leaving to go to the Warriors, but don't hate on him for not staying in OKC. Curry is a better fit for his play style than Westbrook.

breh all that stuff u posted is simply subjective

its how so many of yall keep stating curry game is best suited for KD then westbrook esp. when rus averages more assist then curry

and we gonna totally forget that westbrook/KD 1-2 punch didnt had a 3 to 1 game lead in the WCF

If you really think Russ having more assists means he doesn't dominate the ball as much then you are simply stupid.

So if James Harden & Russell Westbrook joined Anthony Davis in New Orleans ....that wouldn't be considered a Super Team?

i never brought up the term 'superteam'

i really dont know what that term suppose to mean?
care to explain

I don't think the adjustments and growing pains are going to be as significant as you guys might think.

I think these guys fit better together than LeBron/Wade/Bosh did. Those guys, like KD + Russ, didn't win because they fit each other perfectly, but because the talent was simply too overwhelming.

I feel with this GSW team, the talent is overwhelming AND they fit each other perfectly.

I truly believe that KD + Curry is going to be one of the scariest combinations in the history of basketball offensiely, and I'm really excited to see KD + Draymond defensively.

Don't even get into it with him breh. He's doing all types of mental gymnastics to avoid the point

i never said shyt about dominating the ball
my point been nikkaz act like westbrook dont pass

and this new bullshyt about dominating the ball is just another poor excuse

shyt wasnt a problem with none of yall when dem nikkaz was up 3-1 to the all time reg season record holder / defending champs

Kawhi would just look at Durant likefor the whole meeting.

This would've been him during the entire meeting

 

[sfgiants]

What a b1tch azz n1gga

He'll probably bleach his skin and get a perm now

He was "blown away" by the clippers

 

[Reggie]

Wont seem real that Durant is with the Warriors tell he is actually on the court with them. I'm not happy that he went to Oakland but I cant lie and say that i'm not intrigued at the things they can possibly do together as a team. I expect KD's scoring to go down a few points a game but his rebounding should be close to double digits and he could flirt with 55 50 90 percentages next season with all the clean and easy looks he will get. I don't think it will be an issue but I think at the end of the game he still takes the last shot just cause he's 7'0 and a matchup nighmare. But if Steph or Klay are cooking they aren't bad options either. Warriors probably wont worry about chasing 70 again but I don't see anyone beating them in the playoffs as long as they are healthy. Still gotta play the game though.

if the Thunders had beaten the Warriors, but lost to the Cavs, how would you feel about Durant going to the Warriors?

 

[Versa]

By the way, as excited as Warriors fans should be right now, I think the urgency to win now is bigger than some might realize. This could very well be a dynast, but don't forget that a lot of players are going to be FAs next year. A lot of premiere players.

Don't think for a second that other superteams won't be formed. Griffin, CP3, Harden, Westbrook all available...

shyt would be even more retarded

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

shyt would be even more retarded

why so? since the warriors already "beat" the Cavs

 

[Silkk]

why so? since the warriors already "beat" the Cavs

He would be leaving for an inferior team in that scenario

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Just watched KDs presser. I'm impressed. He seems more mentally prepared for the backlash than LeBron was after he went to Miami. LeBron was truly shocked at the nations reaction to the decision. It seems KD knew what he was getting into. Didn't look pressed at all . Surprising
