Durant jacking so far this season:

Shooting 37.4%

A little early.

He's still getting to the free throw line at a high rate. It won't stay there for long. I remember his rookie year he was shooting about 35 percent most of the season and somehow ended up at 45 percent or something.

He'll average at or over 30 again.

Thunder were a little bit overrated coming into this season. Kind of the New Orleans Hornets from a few years ago factor. They blindsided the NBA the year before and were under the radar all year even though they were winning games. Now they have expectations to be better than last years 50 win team and i don't think they are and teams are ready for them.

MVP still.

Want to make an AV bet?(on MVP) He is averaging 27.7 and 7 rebounds. More then a steal and a block a game.

damn LA its a little early to start trying disprove MVP threats from your Kobe

Numbers worse then Kobe and they'll probably finish with the best record in the league.

Pts aren't impressive when you're jacking shooting in the .300's

Kobe
CP3
Wade
Rondo
Pau maybe

all ahead of him thus far

I like him, just pointing out he's been jacking.

Where did the initial thread talk about MVP? Sooners brought it up, I replied.

Come on LA. You take Kobe and I'll take KD for MVP. Neither wins and we call it a draw.

Agree on the Hornets comparison from a couple years ago.

I'll have to keep up with this like I did with my bet with Oggy(Rays vs Yanks for division).

I keep up BB, I'll remember

I'll remember. With my football season officially dead. Won't be too hard.

34 last night and won the game.

Solid game, but it's been a tough start and MVP's do more then score, Westbrook is outplaying him so far.

Just off to alittle bit of a slow start with his FG percentage but he is too good for it to stay low for long.

Needs to ave more assists then 2

I agree that Durant needs to develop the rest of his game.

Definitely agree with u there.

and more rebounds also.

Think he's got like 6 which is dec, I'd like to see him among the 25+ 5 and 5 guys, Kobe, Bron and Wade over the years.

Problem is I think is that the Thunder are alittle overrated. They arent the surprise team anymore and people play them different. Durant just has to adjust alittle.

^Yup

Westbrook in underrated
