Was battier in the running for defensive player of the yr??? Common knowledge? Maybe that'll change after gm 1 where Durant shot 8-12 from 2 and 4-8 from 3??
Proof?? Watch a basketball gm besides the heat? Durant is guarding lebron, pierce always guarded lebron, pierce guards Kobe, Jordan always guarded the opposing teams best player etc.. I'm not going to list every teams best player and who they guard on every team?? But yes, it is " common knowledge" that our best player is going to guard your best player... And it's the same for the majority of the nba?
As far as making the " most of your assets during a game" , how about taking one of the best defenders in the league ( lebron ) and put him on a guy that scored 17 in the 4th??? Because OBVIOUSLY battier was not bothering Durant at all....
And who the F cares about lebron's total stats for the entire playoffs if he gets outplayed in the finals? When you expect the most out of the MVP? Durant played the same minutes as lebron, took 4 less shots, same # of ft's, And had 6 more pts 1 less Reb , 2 less to's.... And I expect it to happen again tonight, unless lebron mans up and guards Durant ....You keep saying that it's the supporting cast's fault that lebron is 2-9 in the finals, but fact is he's been outplayed in his 1st 2 finals appearances by an opposing player ( and even though only 1 gm-Durant this yr )
Say what you want, call me names, kick my dog etc.... Lebron can't bring his gm to that "extra" level in the big gms like Jordan,magic, Kobe, wade ( in 2006 ) etc...etc...everything I wrote are facts, go ahead and tell me prove it or whatever excuse you want to make, Idc because lebron isn't going to win a ring this year... I'll place a sig bet or w/e on it, I'm a man of my word-highly doubt you would follow through though:dunno:
