It will be a complete failure if OKC doesn't win the title this season.

Durant stans already making excuses. Have some faith in the GOAT, guys

[Boarder Patrol]

So what you're saying is, you have no belief in Durant being able to lead a team with another top 5 player, a top 5 PF and a solid supporting cast to a chip?

You can read my post on the first page if you want my opinion, but Ibaka top 5 PF? He's better than Bosh, Aldrige, Love, Duncan, or Griffin? Not even close, he's in the David West tier.

Westbrook has very serious, recurring knee issues that are more serious than anything Wade has gone through in the last few years.

Sefalosha and Perkins are possibly the worst starters at their positions.

It's very clear why they may not win a chip.

Harden was a top 3 SG in 2012, Ibaka was a top 5 PF in 2012?

Heat fans in full panic mode, holy shit

Yes they were.

Harden/Ibaka/Westbrook >>>> Wade/Bosh

Panic mode about what? OKC is a good matchup for Miami.

So, am I to understand that NOBODY believes Durant is capable to lead his team to the title this season?

[TheMarkMadsen]

i'm glad numbersix settled the Kobe> Lebron 09, 10 debate in his OP

As for Durant,that's honestly some GOAT level ish to be 25 and in a season that's "championship or bust" because you're already so far ahead of your competitors on an individual level

Apparently not, because according to this thread, literally NOBODY believes Durant will win the title this season

this.

Why does Westbrook need to be healthy? LeBron won without Wade being healthy or Bosh being healthy.

yup

[imdaman99]

Why all the insecurity from Bran stans? Oh, because someone is stealing all his attention.

Fair enough ladies, do yo thing

[chazzy]

He's capable, but there's no reliable 3rd scorer come playoff time. And Brooks is a terrible offensive coach who makes few/poor adjustments. They had Harden, replaced him with Martin, and are now relying on the collective effort from guys like Jackson and Lamb

[GoranDragon]

Put Lebron with Westbrook, Ibaka and Sefelosha and see him 3-peat easy.

Jackson has been tearing shit up though. He's better than the PGs LeBron has won with.

If Durant is better than LeBron, he should be able to win with the same help or less, no?

I made a thread similar to this seriously this teams back up point owned the Spurs yesterday Reggie Jackson was the best player on the floor last night he had 27 points zero turnovers and was clutch in the 4th
