who would want KD to be the main man after that epic choke last night. He is and will always be an also ran, and not the main guy.

A lot has been said about Westbrook not deferring more to KD in OKC. Well, maybe Westbrook knows his teammate more than we do. If KD was a true leader, he should demand the ball and assert himself and not wait for Westbrook to defer to him. That is what leaders do. He is too low energy (to borrow a Trumpism) to be  a leader.

I would be very surprised if Durant ended up in Boston but very happy.  This one is not that hard.

I thought Durant made some poor decisions, but my main impression of OKC in the last couple of minutes was that the whole team lost its poise. Everyone was out of position. When Durant got the ball, there was no spacing and he immediately was in trouble. I'm not sure he had another option other than calling time out.

Yes why would anyone want a guy who averages 28 and 8 every night because he had a poor 5 minutes at the end of 1 playoff game.

Anyone who doesn't want KD on this team and would trade anyone/anything to do it is delusional.

Kevin Durant is not the type of man to jump to a team just to win a championship. Maybe towards the end of his career I can see him joining a top ranked team just to get that ring and experience the finals win. The thing I love about Kevin is that he's a loyal guy and loyal to his fans. This is why I say he's not gonna leave OKC. Boston's gotta find their own version of KD. They will but its gonna be through the draft. Celtics will be a great team again bit again, its gonna take time to draft and develop players. 4-5 years from now I can see Boston as the deepest team in the league. Gotta be patient.

Too many people are putting the full blame on OKC and KD and Westbrook specifically, but I don't see people giving the GS team, especially AI and Green, their just due for the defense they played down the stretch. That team fought [dang] hard on both ends of the floor, even Curry came up with some huge defensive plays and offensive rebounds down the stretch. AI had some key defensive stops on KD in the last few minutes too. Gotta give GS some credit here.

Westbrook does commit a lot of turnovers.
I don't see how we can get Durant at this point, but I would love it if we did.

Plot twist- Durant's going to the Warriors after losing to them being up 3-1.  ;D
