He is? I don't see it. Other than sweet stroke of his, Westbrook is pound for pound better than Durant.

Pound-for-pound, AI is better than Wilt Chamberlain. What does that mean?

Additionally, how do you discount Durant's shooting ability? And his rebounding?

I gave him his dues shooting the ball. I'm not impressed with his rebounding or lack thereof. He never boxes out. 2 rebounds from SF/PF is a disgrace.

I can't stand the fact Thunder hiding Durant on defense. Meanwhile, Westbrook is running the team, and also having to defend Dwyane Wade.
4 games against Miami thus far Westbrook is averaging 29 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 48% shooting, 81% from the line in this series.  Interesting. 

Rondo in 7 games averaged 21 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds... 48% shooting, 70% from the line

HUGE stat lines from both of them.  Might have something to do with Miami's defense.

Funny they both had Epic performances in losing efforts against Miami:

Westbrook Game 4:  (45 minutes) 43 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds (Miami win)
Rondo Game 2:  (53 minutes) 44 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds (Miami win)



Give Durant credit for what's he's doing... 30+ points, 55% shooting, 37% from three, 82% from the line.  As far as I know, King James is a better defender than Mario Chalmers.

Is it just me or does Perk look way skinny. I thought he was Durant or Ibaka until I saw the 5.

He dropped over 30 lbs in the off-season.

Wade is defending Westbrook, and vice versa.

Well it doesn't look like it's helped him much as Bosh is just blowing by him at will

Perkins stinking up the place. Couldn't even look his coach in the eye on that timeout.

Nope. This is why Brooks didn't play him much last game.

OKC bigs and James Harden have been awful the entire series, this thing is probably a blowout by halftime.

Blah bring on the NFL and Celtic Summer League games.

Brooks keeps playing 2 bigs while his small lineup has much better +/- through this series.

Perkins is killing them, he is useless unless you are playing against Bynum or Howard.

He can't stand in front of Bosh and offensively Heat is playing off of him.

I never thought I would say this, but Spo is the best coach in the series.

Why the hell is Fisher guarding Mike Miller? As a matter of fact why is Fisher even playing ?
