Looks like we are pulling for Cleveland a second year in a row for next years postseason.

I am not sure how many basketballs they can play with at once on that stupid Warriors team, but they are going to need many.

Hahahaha yeah, Durant is LeBron's rag doll. That Finals with Miami and OKC pretty much proved that. LeBron just flat out demolished him, OKC probably should be thankful they didn't reach the Finals this year cause they would have been destroyed within 5 games.
If he goes to Boston, that would have probably been smart cause they are on the road to recovery and rebuilding their team. But Durant wants a ring like so bad, and since his name isn't LeBron James, I doubt anyone is going to make him out to be Satan for this.
Durant is the ultimate choker though. Go back to that game 6 vs Golden State, and it was all his and Westbrook's turnovers that let GS come back and win that game, when OKC could have ended it.
Going to the team he lost to in the playoffs is beyond bad. We were right about one thing, OKC is Westbrook's team. In a way, I do not even blame Durant for leaving cause they will keep Westbrook and Westbrook has to be the most frustrating player to play alongside in the whole NBA. He has to take every single shot and him playing hero ball-hog usually kills that team.
Good point about the 2008 Celtics, I don't even think the Warriors are as good as that team. If they would have had home court in game 7 in 2010, then Garnett ends his career with 2 rings. I remember that Celtics team being very very good on defense. They could shut anyone down and they were a nightmare to superstar players.
The Warriors are bound to get bested next year, I think. They get to the Finals back to back by avoiding San Antonio, who probably would have killed them. I don't know what Durant is supposed to fix for them. Losing to Cleveland wasn't about offense, they just beat down defensively. You said many months ago that the East plays better defense, and you totally nailed that pick with Cleveland.
LeBron > Durant
LeBron > Curry

My personal theory is they are a bit worried about the longevity of Curry. Just a hunch I have. Keep in mind this is a two year deal so I hope he don't think he is going to win two rings then go crawling back to OKC.
OKC fans sound UPSET.

I suspected that he might leave OKC since it was too tough with the Westbrook issues in big games in the clutch.
But, not sure how going to the Warriors solves the ball control issues. I think they might have to flip coins now for who takes the big shots.
