So if Bron went to the Thunder...

[JT123]

and replaced KD, would they be considered a Championship or bust team? I think most of us will agree that they would be. This begs the question, why aren't they considered Championship or bust already? They do have the league MVP don't they, as well as another top 5 player?
Don't delete this thread mods. It is NOT a troll thread, and serious responses only would be greatly appreciated.

Meltdown.

Even with Kevin Durant the Thunder are considered a championship or bust team. They've been one of the best NBA teams for the past 3 seasons and have 2 really good players in Westbrook and Durant. Replace KD with LeBron and they'd still be considered that.

Can you imagine Bran losing every season with this thunder team like Durant does?


We would all criticize him for it, but Duref keeps getting passes

If you aren't going to participate in the discussion, I will have to ask you to leave.

Remember when Wade was alpha in the 2011 Finals? What makes you think bran wouldn't shrink and disappear when Westbrook was taking over this playoffs? Too easy. These branlusionals are something else.

Lebron has a garbage off ball game. He cant coexist with a player like Westbrook

Hate Kevin Durant all you want. He's still a top 2 player in the league.

Are they though? I ask this because whenever they don't win a Championship their best player never seems to receive any criticism from the media, at least not on the same level that the best players of other Championship of bust teams do. I remember Durant taking some heat in his local newspaper after struggling against Tony Allen in round 1, and apparently his feelings were so hurt that the paper had to apologize. I have never heard of anything like that ever happening.

They are a win now team already who have suffered injuries in the post season. Plus they are younger and have more time to stick together. They've probably worn out peoples patience if they don't win this year though.

Lebron bought all that on himself by being so arrogant to the media. If Durant comes out and says it's going to be easy and acts like a fool he would be harshly criticized too.

Lebron played off ball plenty in the Heatles first season together, and was still very effective overall. One bad Finals series doesn't really change that.
