Memphis was just vastly superior to the Westbrook-less Thunder in this series. Durant did all he could and it wasn't enough to make up for everyone else. That was the story of many of LeBron's early years. It doesn't mean much of anything about his career going forward.
In any case, though, year 1 without Harden ends without a championship for that franchise. I'll never get that trade and breaking up that threesome.
