Korver will hit a game winner and tell Jerry to suck it.

Where is jerry?

Great game. Defended KD well and he still got 41 and daggered us.

Should have had Korver the GOAT on him all night.

Who was guarding Durant tonight? Carroll? Millsap?

 

[BadJerry20]

Alright Jerry time to learn how great Kyle Korver is. That is, unless you've roofied yourself again.

Strong possibility.

No Westbrook the thunder has the best record in the nba in first place, Durant is having a magnificent year undeniably the MVP.

That's so weird.

I didn't think KD would go basketball jesus on everyone. Lol Still 21-5 with 15-5 without.

No doubt.

 

[BadJerry20]

Seriously though KD has been spectacular throwing this team on his shoulders. I have my doubts he could carry them to the finals, hopefully we won't have to find out. Will be interesting to see if this helps him take control of the team when Russ returns.

Look what happens when he leads the team FGAs

They have a worse record? KD needs to man up and be the alpha dog, he willingly takes a backseat to Russ some. Thats on him. Also, playoffs last year.

The PG is naturally going to have more shot opportunities if he wants to take them. The difference is KD takes shots he can make at a high % and Westbrook never saw a shot he didn't like. Durant has the ball in his hands more now. I wonder if his assist numbers are up?

21-5 > 15-5, but again, D Fish sucks, and there are almost always going to be growing pains when you remove a decent starting PG from any team. They've made adjustments and have won 9 of 10, including @ Houston, @ San Antonio, vs Portland, and vs Golden State.

They will be better with Westbrook. They would be a lot better with Westbrook if he took 14 FGAs per game.

Durant 2013 - 17.7 FGA and 4.6 assists per game
Durant 2014 - 19.8 FGA and 5.2 assists per game

Durant is shooting the same TS% as last year and has less turnovers. Westbrook's job should be to get Durant the ball and play D.

 

[BadJerry20]

Watch a game, Durant is more passive when Russ is playing. I've explained this in detail before.
