Even if Durant had a point (which I don't think he has, although I can see what he might mean), you just... don't say that in his position.

What he meant is it's harder to accumulate as many counting stats when you have good players to share them with. Just a pointless thing to say and it ends up sounding like a diss to Lebron.

Maybe, but you sound like a fist year student who got his 101 Statistics not too long ago and decided to read some Sloan conf papers to look smart on the Internet.
It has been said before (and you answered), but the "no capitalization, no punctuation" thing doesn't help in taking you seriously. If you really were any kind of scientist you would be used to typing on a keyboard... Really feels like we're talking to a 12 year old typing on an iPhone, who's trying to sound like a first year student :D.

The numbers are: the Warriors won 4-0, I don't see what's complicated about it. It's not a close series... Saying that it could have been close in a parallel universe where they have a different coach, Lebron plays differently, and Korver isn't 200 years old really isn't that useful.

I think that dissing Lebron is what KD (and every NBA player) should be doing after he pulled his cast move. Its literally a "that guy" move, that guy being the guy at the gym that calls every foul and "gets hurt" whenever his team is doing poorly.

If he was really hurt he should have had them wheel him into every press conference after G1 in a full icebath, or conducted his press conferences from an ice bath. Those are the baller equivalents of his clown move.

Haha that was such a Lebron thing to do too. The passive-aggressive excuse.

It was probably a real injury though: https://twitter.com/sportscenter/status/1005422785420816384?s=21

You're in a lose-lose situation there. You're going to look disingenuous no matter what you do. If you say something, you're making excuses. If you wait for it to "leak", you'll be accused of a misinformation campaign.

Mostly, I just thought it was goofy and dumb that he hit a whiteboard.xD
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

See, you are wrong. Because he had the chance to win by wearing a gigantic ice bag on his hand after game 1, 2, 3, & 4 (or the above referenced ice bath Press conferences). Instead he punched a chalkboard (the oldest person I had known to do this before LBJ was 15, so, good job there lebron), didn't actually break anything, covered it up for 3 games, then dramatically revealed his cast and planted a question with a friendly reporter.

Its a clown ass move. Why is no one in the NBA intelligent at all? Maybe Hinkie, Lacob, and Ainge look so smart because they are competing with 85 IQ players and ex-players half the time.

Regardless, pretty sure they still would have got stomped. But oh well, more drama for people to talk about.
