    Default Spurs killed the Thunder doing the Tunder should be doing better

    Leonard and Aldridge pick and pop in the halfcourt... Durant is a better offensive player than Leonard and Ibaka can make 9-10 of those 18 foot shots too. I just don't get it.

    How is Durant better offensively? Because he takes more shots? Leonard may not jack up as many shot attempts, inflating his PPG equating to less overall wins, but he's very efficient and shoots well from everywhere on the court, can take it to the rack and finish inside with the best of them, can post up, etc. Leonard plays within an offense and lets other players get going/get in a groove. This is why the Spurs are better than the Thunder. They don't have just two guys going 2 on 5 every game and ball-hogging.

    Ibaka is a good shooter, but he's not nearly as talented as Aldridge is offensively. The gap between Aldridge and Ibaka is much larger than your perceived one between Durant and Leonard.
