More pressure to win title: Durant and Westbrook or Chris Paul and Griffin

[HylianNightmare]

Thunder for me

[KNOW1EDGE]

We all know the Clips are a joke.

OKC can still use the injury excuse. If they are healthy thiss year, and they don't win, they have no excuses. More pressure on OKC this season IMO

[Fire Colangelo]

pretty sure every contender are equally as pressured to win the title...

[longtime lurker]

KD and Westbrook. At this point you know the Clippers are going to choke massively. The only question is how.

CP3/ Griff (CP3 is considered the best PG in the league)

Dur and Wbrook are not considered the best in their positions.

[Fallen Angel]

Chris Paul, individually, has the most pressure out of all those guys because he's aging and has a negative record in the postseason as a contributing player.

The Oklahoma City Thunder as a franchise is pressured into losing Kevin Durant, and eventually Russell Westbrook, if they don't win a title this season.

Durant, Westbrook, or Griffin aren't stressed to win a title on the level CP3 and Sam Presti is.

Individually, Chris Paul. He is the oldest, has not achieved nearly what has been expected and has played on a good team. For his legacy, he needs to go deep and at least make the finals to solidfy his career.

If we are talking about duos, I'd say Durant and Westbrook bc it seems like their in the chance of a breakup and if they don't make serious noise, this duo can be done together. Lots of excuses has piled up on OKc as well.

there is less pressure on the clippers to win a title and more on them getting past the second round. i don't think anyone would be that disappointed in them if they lost in the finals, that would be impressive. thunder kind of have to win if they want to make sure they keep durant.

i'd say CP3 and Griffin. They have the better team.

Chris Paul / Lance Stephenson / Autism Rivers
JJ Redick / Jamal Crawford
Paul Pierce / Wesley Johnson
Blake Griffin / Josh Smith
DeAndre Jordan / Cole Audrich

is a godly lineup. most stacked team in the league.

Some people project Durant to finish top 10 all time, he definitely has the most pressure.

Some people project Durant to finish top 10 all time, he definitely has the most pressure.

Exactly. For someone ISH claims is the best basketball player when healthy, Durant sure does get a pass.

Durant, so far, has literally played with two of the top candidates for MVP last year.

[Lebron23]

Durant and Westbrook when healthy. They already played in the NBA Finals.

[dab0yech0]

CP3 definitely has the most pressure. He has a stacked supporting cast this year, the best hes ever had in his life. The current Clipper team roster looks like something out of an AAU lineup. CP3 has a two year window to guide the Clippers to a ring. If it doesn't happen it probably will never happen.

[LoneyROY7]

Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it's because you've started to think of failure.

[Mass Debator]

CP3 doesn't have pressure to win a title. His only objective is to get to the conference finals and make it competitive. Only Lebron has the immense pressure of winning it all. Durant won't have tons of pressure until Lebron is visibly declining which is probably the year after this. CP3 is on a lower tier than these two just like Harden.

The only other person I'd say that has pressure is coach Pop. Curry only if they have another 60+ win season.
