El Dio Roberson was an all NBA defensive player tho. He had decent shooters in Morrow, Serge, Singler, Waiters, Augustin, Martin, Lamb. So he had some shooting, 2 all NBA defensive players in Serge and Dre (3 if you count Thabo), Adams who was always tops in offensive rebounding and one of the best screen setters and an All NBA 1st/2nd team superstar PG. Does team were good enough to be up 3-1 vs GSW I ain’t here about the complaining then? Russ and ESPECIALLY KD stunk up the joint games 5 through 7.

The People's Mix Defense is fine and all, but when we watched OKC anyone with a brain could defend them. They played hero ball between KD and Russ and the other team begged them to kick out to the Robersons and Sefaloshas of the world. Its not like he said his teammates were bums he said they couldnt shoot, saying “hurrdurr they were all defense though” is simply a brain dead take

@FreeSp1r1ted 4 года назад

Anthony has no last name - There have been some incredible players at OKC. I find it remarkable that KD’s excuse is that there aren’t enough good players. How many MVPs and solid support role players are needed? He should have won at GS when up 3-1. He tanked, probably on purpose. He did the same thing during the SAS series just before that. Go back and look at the tape and the stats. It was obvious.

Just because they speak their mind doesn’t mean we have to agree with it. The only reason they didn’t win was because he and Westbrook choked 3 consecutive games away. Did he play with jump shooters? No. Did he need them for the team to win, no. They had extremely good defenders across the board for that team, a off the bench scorer in kanter. You put 2 other MVPs in that squad I swear they win a chip.

And some people still refuse to acknowledge that Lebron only won 2 of 4 in Miami despite that team having both Bosh AND Wade on it, two of the best players in their positions in the league at the time.
