Since we have both a Kobe and LBJ thread, it's only fitting we have a Kevin Durant one as well. Of the 3, I enjoy watching Durant the most and this thread is for all things Durant.

If you were going to start an NBA Franchise and had your choice of one NBA player, Durant would be a good call.

Also, may soon need a Blake Griffin thread.

Think Blake needs a lot of work offensively. I think people see nice dunks and amazing highlights and think good player. But as of now, he cannot shoot. I don't know why more people don't back off him.

OKC has been really fun to watch this year. They clearly like playing together, and credit to Sam Presti- they are a very well put together team. James Harden has been fantastic in his role as the 3rd guy on offense and the guy who basically runs the team if Westbrook and Durant are on the bench.

I think the whole Westbrook/Durant thing has been overblown. Westbrook is never going to be a pass first PG, but when he is hitting his shots the Thunder are literally unstoppable. Their big men dont really do much on offense, so somebody other than Durant is going to have to take some shots, might as well be Westbrook.

Uhh, Blake is 13th in the league in scoring currently. His field goal percentage is .539, that's Lebron James territory (.547). If you watch his games he's working on a 15 foot jumper. But settling for jumpers when you can smash it in the hoop would be counter productive.

Blake needs to fix his free throw shooting, then he'd be top 4 in the league in scoring.

You need to watch more of his games, one of the most dynamic players in the league today to lace them up.

I, Panthers8192, fully support this thread. KD is one of the best to watch in the game. With his size, length, and grace he is a perfected work of art on the basketball court.

My favorite players are:

1- Chris Paul

2- Kevin Durant

3- Dwayne Wade

each of their games brings something different to the table, and they all seem like quality men as well

Edit: btw as a UNC fan, how pathetic is it that many fans thought John Henson was the second coming of Durant. LOL not that Henson's not a bad player, but Durant's physique combined with shooting ability is unlike anything we have ever seen

Yea, Durant is a beast. I think I like him because he's a humble guy, and a star. You don't find that combination very often. I find myself leaning more and more into Thunder fanhood everyday. Sorry Bobcats, lol

Chris Paul and Durant are my favorite players in the league, today

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      By strato · Posted

      I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see.

      Bills predictions

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.

      This makes me wish we took a flyer on Quinn Ewers late in the draft
