So with the Magic beating the Lakers, and Portland losing to the Lakers (and thus, the Lakers have passed them), and the Blazers also losing to Minnesota, does that mean that Orlando and Minnesota are both better than Portland and LA?

It means that they are playing better. Whether the continue to do so is anybody's guess.

It means if we had beaten the Wizards at home, we’d have the best record in the West now. By the way, looks like Durant is straight trash. Can’t win without Curry and Green. I smell an implosion!

Actually, he did - especially in the playoffs, especially in the 4th quarter of close games. Don't believe me, go back and look at the game logs and playoff series stats. Durant has always been a much more efficient scorer than Russ, yet Russ was constantly freezing out Durant in the 4th quarter of close games. It was Russ bringing the ball up the floor, Russ forcing up a bad, low percentage shot, or committing an unforced TOV as he tried to "take over" the game.

It's actually the thing I love the most about Russ and the reason OKC is ALWAYS in the top 1 or 2 in blown 4th quarter leads. It's so predictable, you'd think it would get boring. It hasn't. Durant's last season in OKC, he averaged 28.2 PPG and flirted with another 50/40/90 season, yet OKC led the league with 15 blown 4th quarter leads. They had one of the most efficient scorers in the game and won 55 games. If his PG hadn't of constantly froze KD out in the 4th quarter, they could have won 70 games that year. Wouldn't have mattered, they still would have choked in the playoffs and lost to GSW.

Go to the game logs of WCF vs Grizzlies. Westbrook didn’t play. Durant was atrocious. Not efficient at all. Mr Unreliable.
Edit: 2nd round, not WCF
 
Durant last must win playoff game without Russ/Curry:

5 of 21 FGs, 7 turnovers

You left out that Durant was also 11-15 from the line, had 8 reb, 6 ast, 2 BLK and scored 21 points for a GmSc of 7.7 in that game which was five and a half years ago. He's won two Finals MVPs since.

Steph Curry's last must win playoff game without Durant, Game 7 of the 2015-16 NBA Finals against CLE: 6-19, 4-14 3FG, 17 points, 4 TOV, GmSc = 5.1. So, Steph's last must win playoff game without KD was more recent (June 19, 2016), more important (Game 7 of the NBA Finals) and worse than KD's last must win playoff game (Second Round, Game 5, May 15, 2013) without Curry or Westbrook.

Aren't 1 game sample sizes fun?

A 60-point game is often a triple-double. He didn't even get a double-double. All single digits. Came close with the 9 turnovers, got to give him that.

I mean, it's been done once, so that's often, right...?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_(basketball)

"Most points scored in a triple-double: James Harden (Houston Rockets) holds the record for the most points scored in a triple-double with 60 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists on January 30, 2018, against the Orlando Magic. The previous record was 57 points by Russell Westbrook."

You really think he took the time to read all your research? He’s in a cave surrounded by butterflies, wearing a Snuggie with the cast of BONES on it, rocking back in forth listening to a rare Japanese release of The Cure Live from Stockholm mumbleing “Must win game.....must win game......must win game” #Sigh

That is the craziest "Try to look cool and do something different" free throw i have ever seen. Who would coach that? If i was his coach i would be destroying that crap.

The number 1 and number 2 picks in the 2017 NBA draft have a combined career FT% of exactly .500.

Lol at Zo and Kelle redefining the PG position. It used to be only low post centers (Wilt, Shaq, Andre Drummond, etc.) that shot that poorly from the "charity" stripe.
