See Durant and Westbrook's 'comments' about him?

Nah?

Kevin Durant took the question with Westbrook laughing and covering his face after they were asked whether the two-time MVP was an underrated defender.

But Durant wasn't offering a diplomatic answer, either.

"He's pretty good, but he doesn't guard the other best point guards," Durant said after Curry had five steals in the Golden State Warriors' series-extending 120-111 Game 5 victory over the Thunder. "I think they do a good job of putting a couple of guys on Russell from [Klay] Thompson to [Andre] Iguodala, and Steph, they throw him in there sometimes. He moves his feet pretty well. He's good with his hands.

"But, you know, I like our matchup with him guarding Russ."

They are right though.

Nothing wrong with that in fact, just maybe the way they answered it. He's not a top defender, but he's no Harden.

They are right though.

Yup. And to be honest I don't blame him too much as Westbrook must be impossible to guard for an entire game. Think Curry would diminish a lot offensively if he were to do that

Yeah exactly if you have better defenders such as Klay it makes much more sense to put him on Westbrook and hide Steph on Roberson/Waiters.

Sloppy game 6. OKC not playing well at all but up by 8 to start the 4th because GS can't get a rebound if their life depended on it.

 

[Connor]

Warriors running that late in the game 2K offence, settle for threes where possible.

Klay though.

 

[Connor]

Oh me oh my.

 

[RomanReigns]

Valid on Leicester City. GSW will not come back from their deficit. Or do you mean you never expected them to host a parade? San Francisco has had some awesome teams.

i think they will mount a comeback

TOLD YE

 

[Rook]

g'nite OKC Toffees - you are getting trounced in game 7

 

[RomanReigns]

lol so sloppy in the 4th

 

[RomanReigns]

bye bye

 

[Connor]

Nobody chokes like OKC chokes.

Remember when we all thought the Thunder were going to win the series?
