    So what?

    That doesn't make it a bad loss in the finals to lose to the 12 Heat.

    You guys are acting like that series was lopsided in favor of the Thunder and they suffered a huge upset or something. Just a great team beating another great team.

    An all time great player losing to an even better all time great player.

    Literally nothing noteworthy in that finals at all in terms of the Thunder other than Harden sucking ass in some key games/moments.

    They were up against a far more stacked team and the refs.

    Didn't imply that it was.

    Just pointing out that those saying OKC was young (which they were) it didn't stop them from getting to the Finals quite easily against the so-called "dominant Western Conference" while facing many vets along the way.

    dafuq? They most definitely do, they were favorites going into the series, and lost 3/4 games in the last minute.

    They'd rip last years Warriors, tbh. Just like the 2012 Spurs would, who'm they beat.

    had durant been an alpha. He wouldnt allow a 2nd option have more shot attempts than him. But well see what this team is capable of with an alpha coach donovan. He is already making westbrook pass.

    And real talk, OKC shouldnt be in the finals. Stern clearly wants to have that durant-bran rivalry.

    OP, you need a smack in the head. It looks stacked now, but back then, James Harden wasn't James Harden yet. Do we need to state the obvious here....

    Durant-Iso-Ball stifled James Harden's opportunities to utilize his talents.

    Not that he had every right to do so, but it was reasonable and understandable. No one knew what Harden was capable of yet. A player with potential can score 20/4/4 which is what I expected from Harden in Houston, but no, he rose & blew everyone's mind.

    I really don't want to state the obvious now. Let it go.

    Yeah, after he left the Durant-Iso-Ball situation he blossomed into the player he should of always been. It's pretty obvious to see what was holding him back.

    wtf are you even talking about ? they didnt lose because they couldnt coexist. they lost because they simply could not defend the heat.
