Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2683712, member: 1026"] Durant may or may not be weird but I think he is truthful, Durant has said a big reason he went to Golden State b/c he liked the way they moved the ball and believes that's the way the game should be played. It is not hard to connect the dots and see that in OKC it was a your turn, my turn situation and as great as he is, playing hero ball at the end of games is feast or famine with Russ and has to be frustrating if you are a better player but not the PG so sometimes you are going to need him to get you the ball. Westbrook isn't a horrible teammate by any stretch, but by superstar amongst 5 best players in the league standards he is selfish. The rebounds last night are exhibit A for a player that cares a lot about his stats. He might be weirder than Russ, but on the basketball court the number of 'me' acts or plays by Durant pales to Russ's. LeBron - no not an indictment on LeBron the player, but some on LeBron the GM who always sacrifices the now for the future and encouraged the overpayment of his guys (great personal attribute, bad business as puppeteer GM). But I think LeBron is the MVP because he's the best player in the league & although the 4th place finish is a slight underachievement, playing 82 games is awesome and of course without him Cleveland is mid-lottery at best. KAT - I think yes partially his fault but I don't see many MN games. Townes didn't take or make the big shots last night with a ton on the line, though he did get a big rebound. MN Team leader and the man is obviously Butler, but Townes is young and glad he's in the playoffs to learn more about winning. Ditto for AD. [/QUOTE]
