Watching the homey KEVIN DURANT the other nite against Golden State two things became obvious to me…
KD shitted on the Golden State Warriors for 40 points, but he needed at least three more in his final boxscore. His 3-point attempt at the end of regulation would have given the Thunder an overtime period to do what they should have done in the first place. That the Thunder can still lose this late to a non-playoff team means that they still aren’t tuned up for a long playoff run. DURANT might could use one or two players to further complement what he and RUSSELL WESTBROOK are doing.
I’m glad that KD isn’t a surprise around the league any longer. Sonn is the truth(no Paul Pierce). I’m not counting DURANT or the Thunder out of the 2010 post-season tournament, but I’m even more excited for what he will be doing next year. I never really liked KOBE and I never bought into the LeBRON machine. DURANT was the breath of fresh air in the Association. No one was handjobbing that dude on ESPN, but now its like everybody is a Durantula stan. Ah well, such is the league when your aging all-stars are playing in Puerto Rico to get themselves out of gambling debts.
Around the Association…
While Cleveland boasts the best record in the league this season, every playoff team in the Western Conference has at least the same record as the Boston Celtics (the East’s #4 seed). The Western Conference ‘chip > the overall league Finals.

The Association has become like the NFL in that this offseason could produce the highest number of coaching vacancies we’ve seen. Let me publicly say that I will volunteer to pack Mike D’Antoni’s luggage
