I am ashamed to admit that I think I pull for the Heat only because I feel that Duncan has built a career of being considered one the greatest of all time because of the team scheme he plays within. I do not see the talent that should have his name mentioned with the top players of all time. He is good offensive center and a good defensive power forward and durable. For the record, he is a center no matter what they spew. He tried to guard Shaq and Hakeem, but he never followed Dirk around the court.
The are the antithesis of the Thunder.
They make the most of each players talent and rarely get out of position.
I want to scream watching the Thunder and Westbrook's effect on his teammates. One man cannot win games, but one selfish point guard can sure lose games. The talent level at OKC is much ahead of the Heat and Spurs, but the difference is that Westbrook doesn't understand what James does for his teammates, nor what every Spur has done for a decade.

As much as I don't want to, I appreciate the Spurs so much. Contenders for like 17 years running. They draft well, sign well, coach well, it just all works, except probably for beating Lebron. As for Duncan, I would like for you to read Simmons' chapter about him and my previous post about his value to that franchise. I respectfully disagree with your assessment. The Thunder are in no-man's land. Westbrook too good to let go, but not good enough to win the big one.

My previous post on Duncan was in May of 2012. Look it up, and your response.
