anyone else notice that Durant's iso game has gotten much better the past month or so? No longer is he fumbling the ball when holding on to it, no longer is he dribbling into double teams, no longer is he getting stripped.

If this is here to stay, and he can tighten up his handle even more, he has a whole nother dimension to his game. Imagine a guy who can get his own offense 1v1 AND come off screens like Ray Allen?

I think its more of a testament to who OKC has been playing, and that not many of those teams have a physical defender to shut down Durant.

He did play very well against Artest though

It's because he's been isolating much less on the season and shooting more jump shots... he's got the ball in his hands less too with Westbrook's usage through the roof.

It's good to have the turnovers down but when he does isolate he's still quote TO prone...

His dribble/handle has improved though. I wouldn't want him going 1-on-5 for a 10 minute stretch, but it's not a 50-50 turnover chance now.

He looked real comfortable in traffic at the end of the game tonight.
