I don't think durant flamed out at the end of this game no way. Dude is only reason okc was in the game, I'll tell you what I would trade anything on the Suns roster or draft pics to get durant in a Suns uniform.

oh, I would trade away anyone on the Suns plus Ouchie for Durant. I just think he flamed out in the last two games.

For OKC to win they typically need both Durant and Westbrook to play at least up to their normal standards. I think Durant was a liability in game 6, forcing the issue too much but in game 7 GS he was back to normal. Westbrook was good in game 6 and seemed to fall apart trying to respond too quickly and forcing bad shots when GS would nail a 3 on the other end.

Throw the kitchen sink in to get him.

Westbrook set the NBA record for most turnovers in conference finals series ever. I also believe he led the playoffs in turnovers.

Green should have been ejected, a non basketball move which was pretty much a complete take down of Adams.

He gets so much lee way from the NBA. He yells and argues with refs on every call vehemently and yet still doesn't get the amount of techs he should be getting. And his dirty plays don't even get him suspended.

Green isn't even a superstar or anything, its one thing if the NBA was trying to protect Steph since he's becoming a face of the league but Draymond? He's not even a household name in any place other than the bay area.

He's been struggling but Donovan is playing him too many minutes and with the amount of effort he's expending on DEFENSE in this series I don't think it's a surprise he's having trouble shooting, especially with Iggy on him often and then reverting to that Scott Brooks offense the last 2 games.

he's averaging 41MPG and has gone 41, 45 and 45 the last 3 as Donovan desperately tried to close out the series and avoid tonights' game 7.

Durant is getting the same treatment from the Warriors that Curry is getting from OKC, but he's playing 5 more mpg than Steph is.

He is playing too much like Melo. He should have looked to create a little more rather than just settling for contested jumpers.

And he has a massive size and wingspan advantage over Iggy so not sure why he couldn't make his jumpers at a better clip over him.

Yeah I do think though people have to realize Iggy is a hell of a defender. LeBron put up 36PPG in the finals last year but he shot 39% doing it. Got to the line a ton, even more than Durant in the last series, but he too had trouble shooting over Iggy.

I'm surprised the national media isn't making a bigger deal of it with Westbrook laughing at Curry's defense. The final series totals he shot 31% when guarded by Curry and 45% when guarded by everyone else.

Thompson did a great job on him too but Curry seems to be able to stay in front of him without fouling better. That's why Kerr made the switch he felt Thompson was getting too many fouls guarding him.
