Don't count K. Smooth out just yet...

This should've been posted yesterday but I have a real life and a big boy job that required too much attention for me to get it up (cue erection jokes) so go fuck yourselves.  K. Smooth had an absolute monster of a game on Sunday.  35 points on 13/26 from the field to go along with 15 boards.  The highlight came on a 20 footer with 11.2 seconds left that gave the Thunder the lead for good.  The Thunder trailed for the entire contest and had absolutely no business winning this game.  Ibaka had 5 points on 1/10 from the field to go with 5 boards.  For the Thunder to win this series, he has to be substantially better.  K. Smooth willed this team to the win.  He had 12 of his points in the final 8 minutes and put each one of his teammates in his backpack and carried them to the promised land.

I know it's only game one, but everyone that counted the Thunder out needs to rethink their prediction.

LeBron vs. Durant

Kemp's Nose Hoes needs to get his head on straight.  K. Smooth is playing out of his mind.  His all around game is miles ahead of where it was last year.  Just look at what he did to the Hawks last night.  60% from the field, 50% from 3, 90% from the line, 41 points, 13 boards, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

K. Smooth has to win a title, but when compared to LeBron, we are getting dangerously close to not only saying K. Smooth is a better scorer, but a comparable, if not better overall player.  Let's look at the 9 major statistical categories:

FG%           LeBron 53%      K. Smooth 51%        Small Advantage LeBron
FT%           LeBron 68%       K. Smooth 90%        Huge Advantage K. Smooth
PPG            LeBron 25.2       K. Smooth 27.7         Small Advantage K. Smooth
RPG            LeBron 8.5         K. Smooth 8.5          Push
APG            LeBron 6.9         K. Smooth 4.2          Advantage LeBron
Steals           LeBron 1.3         K. Smooth  1.5        More or Less, Push
Blocks         LeBron 0.9          K. Smooth 1.5         Small advantage K. Smooth
Turnovers    LeBron 2.5          K. Smooth 3.5         Small advantage LeBron
3 Point %    LeBron 42.3%     K. Smooth 43.5%    More or Less, Push

The numbers speak for themselves.  The categories LeBron used to dominate over Smooth, FG%, Rebounding and Assists are now either even or extremely close.  LeBron's Free Throw Percentage remains a stain on his game while K. Smooth really doesn't have a category that is overly weak.  I know statistics can't tell the whole story, especially defensively where you'd have to take LeBron over K. Smooth (based on 1-on-1 defense), but they can paint a pretty good picture.

PLUS K. Smooth has starred in a feature film.  What has LeBron done in Hollywood?  Nothing.

I have wet dreams every single night about a rematch of last year's finals.  Please, please, please, Stern, have your minions match us with LeBron and K. Smooth again in June.

11/26 Notes

-The Thunder beat Charlotte 114-69, outscoring them 36-12 in the second quarter. Russ-Russ threw down a thunderdunk, while K-Smooth was seen taking a stack of large bills from Michael Jordan after the game, and placing them in his backpack.

 -Melo had 35 and 13, but it wasn't enough for the Knicks, who fell 96-89 to the Nets in HOVAtime. D-Will had 16 points and 14 assists.
-Boris Diaw (and his man boobs) put up 16 to lead the Spurs to a 118-92 win over the Wizards. The Wizards have yet to win a game this year.
-The Bulls blew a 27 point lead in the 3rd to fall 93-92 to the Bucks. The Bucks were lead by Ersan Ilyasova and Mike Dunleavy. The Mask scored 30, but missed a buzzer beater for the win. He was immediately docked 300 "clutch" points, and Robert Horry popped some champagne.
-The Hornets beat the Clips 105-98, without the Brow, who missed his fifth straight game. When can we start the Oden talk?
