08:12 AM ET 06.19 | Add Serge Ibaka to a list of LeBron James critics. [Ibaka] is not impressed with Heat forward LeBron James' defensive effort on Kevin Durant so far in the NBA Finals. "LeBron is not a good defender," Ibaka said about the player who received the most votes for the league's all-defensive team, which is selected by the coaches. "He can play defense for two to three minutes but not 48 minutes." James was switched onto Durant after Game 1 when Durant scored 36 points and shot 12-of-20 with Shane Battier primarily covering him. Since, Durant is averaging 28.5 points on 23-of-41 shooting and Heat have won two games, taking a 2-1 series lead into Tuesday's Game 4. "LeBron can't play (Durant) one-on-one," Ibaka said.

Few players can defend Durrant. It's a matter of containing him and not letting him hurt you.

The top players will get their points regardless especially if you are primarily a jump shooter like Durant who is 6-10 and can put the ball on the floor as well you can't stop that one on one. I think this is just bulletin board material to try to get Lebron to take the bait.

Cry me a river....if OKC wants to win a game in Miami to bring this series back to OKC, the players need to be quiet and focus on the game. They've got a lot of work to do.

Trying to take a page out of Phil Jackson's book...use the media to influence the other team. Not sure that is the way to go. Just play as hard and fast as you can and win this next dang game!!! That is all I ask for

Kind of hard to win when you're playing against the Heat and the Refs. These jokers have had all the call going Lebron and D. Wades way!

Actually it's a matter of Durant living in foul trouble and LeBron never being called for the 15-20 elbows he throws during a game.

Have you ever seen it otherwise. Momentum completely shifts after every game that does not have the same result as the last game. AN FNers are even worse. If OKC wins, they will have finally learned to handle finals pressure and grown up. Miami will not know how close out the deal. etc. The same will be true of individuals as well.

I agree with you, the inconsistancy of some of these people baffles me.

Don't even get me started...I don't blame refs for missing calls. If OKC had played better in the 4th quarter, the no calls/bad calls wouldn't have mattered. It is what it is. OKC just needs to get busy on the defensive end (yes, they can play defense, people...just ask SA) and make some shots! Bring on the game! :)
