    Durant is just another Dominique Wilkins. So sick of his media hype. Glad to see OKC get taken down by a team that understands how to play together.

    Durant is Clyde Drexler. LeBron is Jordan.

    OKC = 90s Blazers.
    Heat = 90s Bulls.

    Dominique was better but that's not the point.

    I can't stand Durant and the way he whines. But he is an incredible player. No doubt a volume shooter, and benefits from having the freedom from shooting so much. But none the less he is one of the best players in the world.

    Westbrook is better than Durant.

    He is the heart and soul of that team. I hate him too, but I fear him more than Durant.

    Haha, "horribly injured teams." The Clippers were at full strength for pretty much 5 of the 6 games they played against the Grizzlies. The only caveat was Griffin's ankle hurting in game six, in Paul Pierce fashion. He could still throw down reverse dunks, but his "ankle hurt," and somehow that's the reason they lost game six in a series where Griffin was dominated by Z-Bo throughout.

    To quote Z-Bo:

    "Banged up?" Randolph said of Griffin. "I'm banged up. You forgot about my ankle? Banged up. My ankle is as big as a balloon. Talk to the trainers. I'm getting treatment every day. It's the playoffs."

    "Last year when I played in the playoffs, I wasn't 100 percent, but I was out there, so I had to be 100 percent," Randolph said. "It's the playoffs. It's a big-boy game."

    Also, the Grizz were 2-1 against the Thunder with Westbrook...

    You make that accusation 5 times a day. Does that relieve us 15 dumbest posters from your lies?

    Hahaha!

    What? By what measure is or was Wilkins better than Durant?

    I wish we hadn't drafted Aldridge. Then we'd have kept Zach. And the Oregonian would have drowned by now in its exasperation.

    Durant PER in the playoffs career - 25.6 on 29.9 USG

    Wilkins - 18.7 on 31.2 USG

    Wilkins - never made a conference final

    Durant - one NBA Final so far, two conference finals

    We didn't draft him, Chicago did. It's their fault we're stuck with him, and therefore Denny's fault also.

    Durant before tonight's game had a 29.9 PER on 31.1 USG thus far in the playoffs.

    That's LeBron territory.

    That is the dumbest post I've read all day.

    Where I come from, calling a man a liar gets you shot between the eyes.

    You're a proven liar. Plus, the thought of owning a gun would make you squat to pee your pants.

    Where's the link of me posting that 5x/day?
