  I'm a Lebron fan, and you're an OKC fan

  I understand that. There stats are pretty damn close, there isnt as big of a gap between them as you would like to think.

  Game 1 is key. I think I saw today that the winner of game 1 wins the series 72% of the time.

  
  72% of the time, they win every time.

  You're the worst type of "fan" and I use that in quotes because I don't really consider you a fan of anything. You can't be a fan of a player. You just can't. It's the stupidest god damn thing in the world; it defeats the entire purpose of sports--to feel emotion with a win and loss. You don't get mad when the Heat lose, but you sure as hell probably get happy when they win. Awesome "fan" you are.

  Never said there was, but Lebron does everything better, and is wayyy more versatile. People always act like I'm bashing KD or something, not the case at all. That kid is as good as it gets basically.

  Yeah I give him credit for that too, but man OKC's bigs are gonna pretty much have their way physically the rest of the series.

  I've never been a fan of a team really, just followed my favorite player who was Jason Williams. I don't get mad or happy either way I just enjoy watching some people play. I'm sorry that you can't accept that.

  Lol I'm a OKC fan? Been a Sixers fan my whole life. Just because I want OKC to win the Finals that makes me a Thunder fan?

  You are rooting for them right, that makes you partially a fan?

  Why wasn't LeBron guarding KD like you predicted?

  KD averaged more blocks, points and rebounds.
  
  The only category that there is much of a gap is assists.
  
  I get that stats might not tell the entire story but his numbers were right there if not better than Brons

  KD is a much better scorer than LeBron as well. He shoots better, he can attack the basket and his midrange game is much better.

  Sure you can be. I was a fan of James Harden at Arizona State because my friend went there and told me to start following him, and I became a big fan by the end of his 2nd season. When he got drafted by the Thunder, I started liking them, at first because of just Harden, but now Durant too.
  
  I would agree it's definitely more of an emotional disconnect, it's just not the same, but I would disagree that you can't be a fan of a player.
• chicago510

  

  The Thunder somehow get better as each game goes on. The Heat seem to stagnate.
  
  Idk if thats a function of depth or what, but its a glaring trend.
• sleeper

  

  I'll take Lebron over KD anyday. Stupid to think they two players are even in the same universe.

  There's a difference between being a fan of a player and following that player around wherever he goes and taking that team on as your own.

  I'm not the coach, I thought he would guard him more than half of the time, really only was on him about 33 percent of the time tonight and I don't remember Durant scoring on him really. I would look for Bosh to start game 2 and Lebron to slide over and check Durant. Again, I'm not Coach Spoelstra, they were trying to create mismatches and it worked in the first half because of Lebron's defensive versatility. Second half Miami didn't make the adjustments. I always laugh when people blame a player for who they guard, like we as casual observers know more about a team than a coaching staff does. The coaching staff sets the match ups and defensive assignments for players, not the players.

  I didn't mean it like it's impossible to be a fan of a player; I meant it as you can't, as in that makes you look like an incredibly huge fucktard.

  Then why is Lebron more efficient? I hear this all the time from Melo fans, "he's a better scorer than Lebron blah blah blah". Really, shooting 42% is better than 53% and who takes better shots, just a silly notion.
