Championship or Bust for Durant and OKC?

[Fudge]

The idiocy from swagga is too much for me ITT.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

As I said before, the expectations fans have of Durant are far lower than they did for Lebron.

[LBJ 23]

Lol @ he is too young


Lebron was supposed to win with far less talented team at the same age and I'm almost sure that if Durant fails to win a Chip he will receive less criticism than Lebron did in 09' or 10' even though Lebron teammates were nowhere near to the Durannt's supporting cast.

If you're all so quick to put Durant's name right next to the Lebron or even higher let's hold him to the same standards aswell no?

How can you confidently say this is his peak? What if he has the normal career trajectory and keeps getting better until 28?

He's not putting up better stats than this. Statistically, he has peaked. Like Jordan when he put up 32-8-8, and LeBron in 09'.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

AND? This is his peak, he's gotta win.

What do you mean "he's gotta win"? Did you suddenly forget about the Heat?

Right, because you've been to the future and know with 100% certainty that Durant will not get better.

Also, best stats =/= peak. If you think Jordan was at his best during his 32-8-8 season or Bron was at his best in 2009, I don't have anything else to discuss with you.

I'm pretty sure Jordan in his athletic prime could have done all the same things.

Like, really, think about how much better he would be in 2017 judging by your logic.

37-11-7, 60-40-95? 35 PER? Come on now. He better win a ring this year.

Gotta agree with this post.

Russell Westbrook's MRI shows no structural damage. www.sbnation.com/nba/2014/3/22/5537542/russell-westbrook-injury-mri-knee-thunder

I would made a new thread but apparently I don't have those privileges.

Durant getting a pass as usual

[LongLiveTheKing]

KD gets a pass because he isn't considered as good as Lebron was in Cleveland. Even though he has Westbrook and Ibaka.
