Eh, I dunno. It's getting close, especially with LeBron taking the season off on defense so far.
He is closer to LeBron now than people realize... It's just a hard concept for most to grasp, especially because of the amount of success LeBron has had in the playoffs the last few years.
The 2 of them are in another stratosphere compared to the rest of the league.
Assuming both teams are fully healthy come playoff time (a big if considering Westbrook/Wade), both teams have to be considered favorites to meet in the finals. If it does happen, I expect a much more entertaining series than the last one...
What's your reasoning behind this? If it's because you don't trust Westbrook's health at this point, that's a reasonable argument. Otherwise, I have a hard time seeing Durant leaving OKC. The only real reason he could have would be to be under a bigger spotlight, and I don't see Durant being that kind of player, especially considering that it is extremely unlikely he has a chance to join a roster with a more promising future than OKC's.

Durant is phenomenal. He has the best pure shot in the league. Nowhere on the court is out of his range.
Best feature of Durant? He may be the most humble and down to earth superstar in the league. He has values and seems like a loyal guy. He seems like a guy that doesn't want to leave his team to go ring chasing. I think he stays. He wants to build a winner, not join one.
I don't think people realise how bad the supporting cast around lebron was.
He's a better scorer. But he still has a long way to go to be even considered in the same league as Lebron in the other aspects of the game.
