#35 Kevin Durant


HeatCheck

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

    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
    • You two. I have four types of pain meds now. Lol
