Thunder with 26 turnovers

[blazers2285]

The thunder had 26 turnovers but still beat dallas with durants game winner!! Dallas is in trouble. Batum must stay positive we need him to guard durant!!

 

[Rhal]

Id put Crash on Durant and put Batum on Harden.

 

[huevonkiller]

Dallas was also ice cold from the field, and OKC was hot.

I think OKC won't be able to hit those long range jumpers forever. Durant is not getting to the paint.

Defense will be the difference in the future. Edit: I'm not saying OKC is bad, or that they'll lose in the future to Dallas.

Wow, guess there is something to this fast pace don't care about turnovers and make up for it with possessions style of play!

If it wasn't for Batum, I would feel bad about not having Durant (the best player in the league). Batum is the perfect match for Durant.

Batum did not play well defensively last year, and Durant isn't even a top 2 player in the league.

Durant is the closest thing we have to a modern day Jordan, now that Kobe is on the back side of his career. Did you see this stat last night?

30+ Pts in Team's 1st 4 Games - Last 30 Seasons

1.) Team 2011-12 Kevin Durant Thunder 2.) 2005-06 Kobe Bryant Lakers 3.) 1986-87 Michael Jordan Bulls

I don't care what the defensive stats say, he's an amazing defender. His length and agility are unmatched. + He's the perfect size to match up with and stop Durant.

 

[huevonkiller]

He's the closest thing to being like 2006 Kobe through the first 4 games?

Sorry I don't really care. I saw Dwight Howard beat him last year though. I also noticed that Shaq never averaged 30 PPG, and he still owns Durant. Give me a break dude.

Step back a little and realize we are 4 games into the season. Stop focusing so much on the PPG. And Batum needs to improve his defense too.

4 games? Hey I'm no fan of Durant, but he isn't just a volume scorer. The last 2 seasons; he proved to be legit. No Carter, No T-Mac, No Wilkens; this guy can flat out ball.

T-Mac isn't chop liver dude. I know Durant is decent, I am the type of guy that will defend any player's reputation don't worry.

Well they don't have to hit them every single game. To be the NBA champ you only need to win 57% of your games.

 

[huevonkiller]

Well they don't have to hit them every single game.

I don't think I was implying that.

I think Westbrook will pick up the scoring load for OKC later on, and their defense will dictate how far they go in the West.

Correct, he is THE best.

 

[huevonkiller]

Correct, he is THE best.

He wasn't even a top three player last year, so sorry.

Also his fucking up against the Lakers and Mavs gets a big double standard over here.

In who's eyes? Durant is the single best player in the game today. The rapist is older, Lebron chokes too much, and Howard is too limited offensively. I think of it this way. If Miami had Wade, Bosh and Durant, they are NBA champions right now.

 

[huevonkiller]

Yawn, and LeBron was better than Durant ever was in 2009 and 2010.

Well I don't know about that, since Durant choked like a bitch against Dallas and LA.

I've never seen any player choke as badly as Durant did against the Lakers, even 2007 Dirk was better.

 

[huevonkiller]

I don't know buddy, I think I'll take LeBron 2009 over this.

This whole time I thought you had seen Lebron play? Westbrook is nice, but he's no Wade, and they don't have a Bosh. Durant has to do it by himself

 

[huevonkiller]

The Scoring champ Durant in 2010:

34% usage rate, 98 offensive rating, 16.6 PER.

He got raped by the rapers and he raped his own team. That's got to be illegal.

Haha look at your excuses for his chokejobs.

Westbrook is no Mo Williams you mean. LeBron ejaculates on the supposed best scorer ever.

Kevin better hope he does this in the 4th quarter so he misses him

Hush nigguh.

Read 'em and weep.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Why weep? Everyone knows James isn't a clutch player.

 

[huevonkiller]

Too bad ESPN proved that's bullshit.

 

[dviss1]

Both Batum and Wallace will Guard Durant. We might even see Wesley there. Something tells me (especially on screen and rolls) we will see lots of switching between those 3.

 

[KingSpeed]

Durant owns Batum. Crash is the Durante stopper and Durant can't guard Crash.
