durant can't post up and is a p*ssy. that's my point. whenever he was on the floor in the 4th, they'd drop into a zone, and this moron gladly obliged by being aggressive. we have to put crippled ass mike miller on the floor just to space the floor. the man was an impact for both teams.
and where was the defense at the last 2 games? durant lit him up.
I don't understand the love affair with this guy.
I don't understand why nikkas gotta act like KD needs to be the most brolic nikka out there just to be good. Basketball isn't designed to be a physical sport, you don't need to be brolic to be good at it. The nikka is good at basketball and basketball-related skills, he doesn't need to be 250 pounds of pure muscle, as long as the ball goes in the basket and he can affect the game in positive ways. Which he did, and does. Guess who won that series? And keep in mind OKC won that series because of KD (and in one game, Reggie Jackson), so don't get that twisted.
The real reason OKC struggled in that series is because Brooks had predictable playcalling in the playoffs that let the Grizzlies know exactly where the ball was going every possession (then it just became an iso every possession), a fukked up rotation (started Perkins and he got ate up in the post), Westbrook was full sabo, Serge was useless. However though, because it seems like Brooks knows where he fukked up, almost all of those things have been fixed, so I would expect them to struggle a bit less if they were to play again. With Westbrook completely stepping up his level of play, I can see Westbrook tearing Memphis to shreds by himself.
Oh and Z-Bo was a dumbass trying to steal off on Steven Adams
