Crush is a monster!!!!

OKC wants Durant taking the big shots. Not even a debate.

 

Agreed. The problem is does Westbrook think that way?

Cats will be here in no time to dispute that.

The end of regulation in the Spurs game was crazy. Clutch shots and clutch FTs by both teams. Amazing.

Despite losing, I was very impressed with Denver and Philly last night. The gap between top teams and 2nd tier teams is closing.

^ I had a lot of hope for that series, and in some respects I was satisfied. Even though it only went five games, all but one of them were REALLY good games. I liked this Denver team a lot and hope they can continue to get better moving toward next year.

But the gap will never be closed until a legit star is placed on either of these teams. Team unity and cohesion can get it done in college and win you some games in the NBA, but ultimately not so much in the NBA.

If there's a hard cap and a franchise tag the gap will be gone. While it would be great for small market teams I just don't see the league letting that happen. They need NY, Boston, Chicago and LA to be the best.

For what? Each team is playing every other day. This is the best played basketball on the planet. Why shorten it?

 

You must not be a true basketball fan then. No one can claim to be a basketball fan and not love the NBA playoffs. They're outstanding.

 

NBA fan? You're probably right.

 

College fan? I probably watch more basketball there than any around as far as I know of. I suscribe to Gameplan and get a lot of other games tha many don't get to watch.

 

Overall I'm just not a fan of the playofff system in the NBA. I get excited at first but then I lose interest as it just continues to drag on out. I know a lot of people who are in agreement with me but I'm not claiming to be in the majority here.

Westbrook is still just as valuable to them IMO.

I disagree but different question... game on the line, who you going to?

I agree. You aren't going very far with Andre Iguodola as your best player.

Depends on what I need and who is hot. Deep jumpshot? Durant no questions asked. But the guy that takes the last shot is not always way more important than everyone else. Pierce takes Boston's shots down the stretch but many would argue Rondo, Garnett or Allen are just as valuable if not more valuable.

A team has to have a guy down the stretch they can go to. Separates the Indy's, Denver's and Philly's of the world from the real contenders.

Durant > Westbrook
