Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2694580, member: 1026"] That's fine, not unfair. But if we start at premise Durant is leaving Russ, where should Durant have gone (maybe I'm just trying to get you to say Boston!)? It is weird if Boston is the right or only answer, cuz I never felt like the Celtics had a real shot even though they pulled out all the stops. Golden State had recruited him well before the playoff situation came about - so too late for him to reverse course based on that. Did having that ('I'm going to Warriors') in the back of Durant's mind somehow impact the Warriors-OKC series in 16? I don't remember those games specifically other than Klay's game 6 outburst, looking at box last 2 games Durant: Game 6: 29pts, 10-31, 1/8 from 3, 8/10 FTs, 7 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks, 3 TO, Game 7: 27pts, 10-19, 3/7 from 3, 4/4 FTs, 7 boards, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block 2 TOs Pretty hard to say he was thinking past the series, over-aggressive in game 6, typically efficient in game 7 - only quibble is not enough FT in Game 7, but team was 13/17 FT and Warriors only got to the line 8 times (prev game 32FTA-OKC, 24FTA-GSW) so that's likely more Game 7 swallow the whistles.
