okay, cool, why don’t you want to talk about that second round series vs Memphis, the only series KD had to play without Russ:
OKC with Russ beat Memphis in 2011 4-3, and once again 4-3 in 2014. But what happened in 2013 with no Russ? OKC lost 4 straight games losing 4-1. Let’s have a look at KD’s perfomance in this stretch. I
in game 2 KD had himself a fine game, he scored 36pts on 11/21FG, the series was tied at 1-1 heading to Memphis
in game 3 KD had only 25pts on 9/19FG despite playing 46mins, Durant played the entirety of the second half scoring only 9pts on 3/11FG, with 2 4thQTR pts, OKC gave up their half time lead to lose 81-87
in game 4 KD had only 27pts in an overtime loss, shooting 10/27FG, in the 4thQTR+OT combined Durant shot 2/13FG as OKC scored 3pts the entire OT, choking another HT lead, the clutch misses can be seen in this video
in game 5 back home down 3-1, KD had only 21pts along with 7 turnovers on 5/21FG, down 2 in the 4thQ Durant had a chance to keep his team alive, he had more turnovers (3) than points (2) shooting 1/5FG, OKC lost 4-1.
in the 4thQ+OT across the last 3 losses, Durant shot 4/22, this equates to 18%
the next time you mention Westbrook’s playoffs without Durant, make sure you mention this series too
the next time you mention Westbrook’s playoffs without Durant, make sure you mention this series too
