Durant on Tyreke's decision to go for win.

"Most definitely," Durant said without hesitation post-game. "Without a doubt, especially at home. After they fought back so hard, I would have taken the three too. I thought it was a good shot. But I’m different."

Durant is a classy guy

And of course he would take the shot, he would probably make it

Keep Jason Thompson out of the damn fruit salad!

There's nothing to not love about Durant

Other than him not being on the Kings

Great point about Durant's mentality here.

Durant’s a scorer, and you go for the win. Of course, Tyreke is just a ballhog so that makes all the difference.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

If Omri has 12 games with 85+ TS% (20+ mins only) on the season, I will send RikSmits a slice of Cherry Pie with real Californian cheese pasteurized locally in Washington state.

I was always coached that...

..if your name isn’t Kevin Durant then you go for 2 at home and go for the win with a 3 on the road.

Of course,

if the home team is 7-21 (at the time) on their own court while the visiting team sports a 16-10 road record, it changes the dynamic a bit.

Especially when that team has a game in Phoenix the next night.

These guys are some of the top athletes in the world

5 more minutes of play last night wouldn’t have changed the Phoenix game from a W to L.

Wouldn't have helped.

And I think the mental tug of it would have been a lot to overcome. It’s more the mental side than the physical side.
