2015 NBA Playoffs Thread

Don't know why they do the random twitter messages on SC after games. Who cares what a backup linebacker on a 4 win team thinks.

Durant is clearly the best of those three, and I am not the biggest Durant fan in the world. He's no longer the second best player in the league, but when healthy, he's still easily better than Westbrook and Harden.

The guy can score at a higher rate than both, and is much more efficient.

Who is better than Kevin Durant?

 

[The Red Viper]

No..

It was a fast break until they crossed half-court. Once Harden passed the ball to Howard behind the arc, that's no longer in transition. The move is for SOMEONE to call a timeout.

It was a bad decision pretty much once Harden turned his back to Curry and Thompson the first time.

Probably then, yes. I have to see the entire play again buy my initial reaction was that was more of a poor play from Harden than bad job by McHale.

Anthony Davis. You could make an argument for Steph Curry even.

Lol.. no...

I am assuming he is considering that to be AD. But, KD is still the second best. Proven in play-offs and a bigger body of work than AD.

Now that I've watched that last play 5 times, I'd like to suggest that Ariza think about maybe try running on game-deciding fast breaks. Just try it.

Lebron



KD

AD

Then the field.

Yea Lebron is that damn good......still

 

[gourimoko]

Just to nip that in the bud:

KD:

32ppg / 7.4rbs / 5.5asts on .635 TS% and .391 from behind the arc. He's also drawing 10 fta/g and knocking them down at a 88% clip.

If he were healthy this year, he'd be better than LeBron.

 

[godfather]

Lol.. no...

Right now, yeah, it's Anthony Davis. Durant wasn't the same guy this year obviously due to injury. He's not even as good as Seth, right now.

If we are talking about Durant at his best, it's pretty debatable. Davis is coming off the second best PER in the history of basketball though.

Davis is a fucking animal. Going forward, it's not even close who I'd rather have between the two.

We are talking right now, not all-time here. Durant might never be the same, that injury of his is pretty significant.

Not talking Durant off his MVP season, since that's moot.

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

GTFOH dude, did you watch the game? The refs were fucking awful....

"Bitching?" ..stfu..

Lay off him, he has been following the Cavs since 2009 bro

Now that I've watched that last play 5 times, I'd like to suggest that Ariza think about maybe try running on game-deciding fast breaks. Just try it.

If Ariza could cut through it would have forced Klay or Curry to pick him up. Maybe Harden gets a shot off then.

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

i-is it ok for me to chime in with an unpopular opinion that I think Kawhi will be the best player in the NBA

 

[Rich]

I don't even know why we're still on the "LeBron is the best player in the league" train. He wasn't the best player in the regular season and he hasn't been the best player in the playoffs. What exactly makes him the best player in the league still?

 

[Real Deal]

Cavs defense is better than these 2 teams. I'm just scared of Curry going apeshit, but every other player can be contained and some. Bogut is still due to get injured, I swear this has been his best season health wise. He was a man down low, Mozzy will match it though.
