The league isn't the same without KD

[SyRyanYang]

Never thought I'd say this since I used to hate him with passion, but the way he improves year after year is truly astonishing.

I'm so sick of this age-old Bron v.s Bean thing, the truth is, they both suck.
Lebron is a mentally weak beta who can't score in half court against good defense.
Kobe at his 19th season and 36 yo is still a ball-hogging, no passing, inefficient chucker he always is, and this is coming from a big fan of his.

I don't care if Durant was beta at times and defers to Goatbrook, he's still going to be a better package than bron&bean ever was.

Durant is neither alpha nor beta. He is the Omega.

Wrong. I miss him, and im a Rockets fan. KD is top 2 player in the NBA and he dominates the court whenever he plays. I'm certain a ton of non-Thunder fans miss KD too.

Kobe doesn't pass? 7 assists bruh

Its only been two games

He's too ball-dominant, should let Lin dominate the ball and let the offense come to him.

He only took 15 shots last game and he's played off ball plenty...Lin can't run the offense consistently all game with this supporting cast. Kobe's forced to do a lot on O because the team otherwise won't keep up with the opposing team's scoring. 3rd quarter was the most unselfish I've seen Kobe be in a long while...I don't think he took one shot, had like 4 assists in the quarter.

Sure, he had those moments in the first game too, and the times before he was injured. But more than often he went back to the old chucking mode, esp. when the game is on the line.
There is nothing wrong with being Alpha, but he gotta realize he isn't what he used to be and can't take over games anymore.

didnt even notice tbh

[Lebronxrings]

well thunder games have gotten quiet without the chirping of the whistles... so i guess so

[J Shuttlesworth]

Honestly hasn't made me notice too much. Cavs, Clippers, Bulls, Knicks, Suns, Spurs, and other teams have been really enjoyable to watch.

Now that OKC doesn't have Westbrook though, I think i'll start to really notice that they're gone
