Durant says Westbrook will be back Thursday vs the Heat

[Combat Wombat]

I've already said Durant is the best player in the league, but he didn't outplay Bron that game.
They scored the same amount of points, and KD got a few more assists because his teammates hit everything. The difference was role players, and the fact KD made some nice plays on Lebron, leading everyone to think KD did something special.

You can't be f%cking serious? Durant clearly outplayed Lebron, both on offense and defense. And people here called you a rational Heat fan.

Dat denial

[Angel Face]

I feel bad for Lebron, got humilated by KD last Jan. Shatted his pants during the all star game. Now Westbrook returns on Thu, Lebron will be depressed. He could lose his will to live. Oh Lebron, hope Gloria to take care of you.

He's just going to have to wait because Gloria is already "taking care" of Delonte.

Yes he did. By a lot actually. Considering the amount of double teams KD attracted all game, those stats don't even do his play any justice.

He outplayed him, just admit it.

Hell, who knows, LeBron might even it out this Thurs, which is what I'm fully expecting.

He either didn't watch the game or is in denial like other Bron stans. The slim reaper did his thing

This is good news for OKC & bad for Durants stats/MVP case.

Exactly What I said. Durant will be taking 5-10 less shots with Russ back

Russ was playing far more like a true point guard in that amazing stretch before he went out again. I'm hoping after his time out the team will work him back into that rhythm. It was beautiful to watch. If he can average 7 assists the rest of the season with that deadly speed and ability to get to the rack.. *drool

Russ usually is one of the 2 leaders in usage pct. (guy above him sure aint KD) so yea it sure will be less offensive possessions for KD, his scoring/fga and assists will drop down... maybe he might even have to share the rebounds aswell, per 36 Russ averages 7 rebounds a game afterall this season.
Russ was also Top 5 in the MVP race before he did that surgery.

With Wade probably missing more games than Russ from now on there is a possibility Lebron could take back that #1 spot soon, especially if he starts that run by winning that feb. 21 matchup.

So im not sure if Russ will be doing good things for KD's stats / mvp candidacy, OKC sure will be better though, you could then say KD doesnt care as long as they win.... but KD really wants the MVP this season...

lmao KD already has MVP locked up. Quit deluding yourself.

So far KD is #1 in the MVP race, yes..... but locked up with many more games to go, while Russ is back the rest of the games and that #2 guy on the race has a very long run to take back that spot.... no, sorry... only you are deluding yourself....

It's not a lock till Durant is holding the trophy

[retaxis]

What if Russel Westbrook is 'done'?
