Kevin Durant, Lester Freamon

Yin to Yang: Kevin Durant is the yin to Russell Westbrook‘s yang, much like Lester Freamon is the yin to Mcnulty’s yang.

Silent Assassin: Both Durant, and Lester are methodical, intelligent, tenacious, and quiet. Before you know it, Lester has made one of the biggest contributions to a case similar to KD dropping 35 points on your team. And having a healthy Kevin Durant this season, has been 100 percent better than what we had to live through last season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder look as dangerous as anyone in the Western Conference, other than the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs. And if you have Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook on one team in a seven-game series, who’s betting against them? When healthy, I’m definitely not doing that.

Durant is averaging 28.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists. Oh, and that’s on a career-high 52 percent shooting from the field and a career-high 47 percent from three-point range. Yup. That’ll be enough.
