    Carrying a team on your own is though enough.

    Also someone said before that Z-Bo just goes left. It's true. But it's not that easy in the post.

      That Kevin Durant is such a choke artist and is not clutch.

      And Lionel Hollins' price continues to go up and if he ends up winning the whole thing, he'll be one of the hottest commodities in the NBA, Free Agents included.

        Okay, being a Thunder fan, I disagree with you. If Westbrook was still around, the Thunder would have barely gotten by the Grizzlies, but I don't know how much further after that. Because Westbrook got hurt early in the Houston series, it's hard to tell how much of an impact he had on the team in the postseason.
        Whether or not they had him wouldn't have made a big difference though, because Ibaka and Perkins could not contain Randolph and Gasol. They knew that stopping them would be the key to the series and they really couldn't do that at all. Randolph and Gasol are much more athletic, so they took advantage of that to dominate the boards and the inside game. I am rooting for the Grizzlies if they face the Spurs, but I will root for the Warriors if they win their series.

                          A Westbrook-less Thunder stayed competitive every game. And while they could do some serious work on SA inside, I'm sure Pop still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
                          Even with Westbrook, I'd still say Memphis had a fair chance to win the series. He has never been that great against Memphis, and maybe the series is 3-2 Memphis or 3-2 OKC right now, but no guarantee OKC advances with Westbrook. A much worse Grizzlies team took OKC with Durant, Westbrook, and Harden to 7 games a couple of years ago.

                          Pop still has to get his team out of the 2nd round as well. Warriors aren't done yet...

                            A Golden State vs OKC series would have probably be the most entertaining series of this years playoffs. Without Westbrook I think GS would have had a chance to make it interesting.. I don't think they match up with Memphis well.

                              I wouldn't go that far. But he does get a pass from the media and everybody else, because he's a nice guy. Sometimes a good dose of criticism can be that driving force for a player to take his game to another level. Until KD's feet are held to the fire, he will always finish second. Gotta stop babying him.
