    So with the Magic beating the Lakers, and Portland losing to the Lakers (and thus, the Lakers have passed them), and the Blazers also losing to Minnesota, does that mean that Orlando and Minnesota are both better than Portland and LA?

    Walker scores 60 - and his team loses. That happens when your defense gives up 122!

    It means that they are playing better. Whether the continue to do so is anybody's guess.

    Then I'm just acknowledging a great block from a player on a small market team.

    It means if we had beaten the Wizards at home, we’d have the best record in the West now. By the way, looks like Durant is straight trash. Can’t win without Curry and Green. I smell an implosion!

    I thought Jimmy Butler was supposed to be good at defense. Glad we dodged that bullet.

    Go to the game logs of WCF vs Grizzlies. Westbrook didn’t play. Durant was atrocious. Not efficient at all. Mr Unreliable.
    Edit: 2nd round, not WCF

    You left out that Durant was also 11-15 from the line, had 8 reb, 6 ast, 2 BLK and scored 21 points for a GmSc of 7.7 in that game which was five and a half years ago. He's won two Finals MVPs since.

    Steph Curry's last must win playoff game without Durant, Game 7 of the 2015-16 NBA Finals against CLE: 6-19, 4-14 3FG, 17 points, 4 TOV, GmSc = 5.1. So, Steph's last must win playoff game without KD was more recent (June 19, 2016), more important (Game 7 of the NBA Finals) and worse than KD's last must win playoff game (Second Round, Game 5, May 15, 2013) without Curry or Westbrook.

    Aren't 1 game sample sizes fun?

    A 60-point game is often a triple-double. He didn't even get a double-double. All single digits. Came close with the 9 turnovers, got to give him that.
