My concern is really what if Westbrook shutdown Parker defensively?
He is being shutdown by the Clippers right now (FG % wise at least) and nothing bad has happened. All that means is Westbrook is using more energy on defense and won't be as rested to hit those jumpers he likes.
Alright - who's gonna guard the Durantula?
Leonard.
Yeah I know that, but don't tell me Durant's not gonna make it his mission to personally school Leonard. Leonard's good, but he's not "7-playoffs-game-including-clutch-time-good".
Well of course he isn't going to shut him down.
Also, if you knew that, why did you ask?
Not even close. Not to mention Durant has a whole 3 inches on him for those contested 3's.
Really? That has to be the first time Durant will ever have a height advantage on whoever is guarding him.
/sarcasm.
My point is Leonard's an inexperience -come- undersize SF and to think he can guard Durant....
Undersized SF? Christ. What planet do you live on that a 6'7 SF with a 7'3 wingspan is undersized? Not every SF is oversized like Durant.
Leonard is a very good defensive SF and is pretty smart. Yes, he will be outmatched, but he will be able to hold his own and make things difficult for Durant at times. 1 person doesn't guard a Super-Star, team defense does.
"Undersize" in relation to the fact that he has to guard Durant..
.. do I have to caveat everything I type here?!?!

While Durant obviously has the advantage in height and length, Leonard will be able to push him around a little bit with his strength. I still don't foresee that being a major issue for Durant, but just stating my opinion.
When you say things as dumb as that, then yes.
I know.. I know.. I'd definitely want Spurs to beat OKC. I was just playing devil's advocate with Cy as he seemed so sure that OKC will get beat.
Everyone that guards Durant is suddenly an undersized SF by your criteria.
Leonard has as good a chance as anyone in the league to make Durant's job as hard as possible.
P.S. I have been trying for some time to not be a total ******* about the points you make in 90% of your posts. Just putting that out there.
It's because of responses like this that give me reason. You ****ing nice jerk-face.
All those times Shaq guarded Yao, he was an undersized center.
