playoffs. Why did Durant struggle so much and why did LBJ shoots so high of a %?

Durant






lebron






Who was guarding Durant? I remember Kahwi (sp) mostly being in foul trouble when he checked Durant.

Durant is a well known bad playoff performer

Meh, LeBron had a cakewalk to the Finals and got half of his Finals production in garbage time.

Completely different story with Durant.

Durant shouldn't have even seen the second round.

Not gonna disagree with the bolded, but KD just underperformed, no way to put it.

It's not lebrons fault Durant can't post up Chris Paul

[LosBulls]

I feel like the Spurs just decided to just let LeBron get his and focus on everybody else.


They took away the open lanes to the basket, and had good rotations. They just gave LeBron jumpers and 3pts, they also limited turnovers since LeBron gets a lot of fastbreak points.

Ah, one of those guys.

I'd say Durant putting up 33/10/5 on a team that would have been 1st seed in the East is pretty good, no?

Not his fault that he demolished the Grizzlies in all closeout games that series.

Oh wait, yeah it is

I didn't see them "let" lebron get his. He just couldn't be guarded and should've shot more instead of trying to let his help get going

Isn't this what they did last year in the Finals when lebron only shot 45%? How come he shot 57% this time around?

Lol did you not watch the actual games?

This is why we don't use stats in a vaccum.

[Frozen1]

Lebron stadpadded while his team was being blown out by the time the third quarter started.

Clippers had sh1tty defense

[Hoopz2332]

I did watch. Im asking, if they did all of this

They took away the open lanes to the basket, and had good rotations. They just gave LeBron jumpers and 3pts, they also limited turnovers since LeBron gets a lot of fastbreak points

Howcome he didn't struggle with his eff like like in the 2013 finals?

The difference is Lebron >>>> Durant.
Durant wasn't even the best player on his own team.
