    After years of nagging Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks not to take him out of games, Kevin Durant finally got his wish.And now, he's one big step closer to making his basketball dreams come true.Durant had 34 points and 14 rebounds while playing all of regulation for the first time all season, and the Thunder claimed a spot in the NBA Finals by beating the San Antonio Spurs 107-99 on Wednesday night.Russell Westbrook added 25 points for the Thunder, who trailed Game 6 of the Western Conference finals by 18 in the first half and erased a 15-point halftime deficit before pulling ahead to stay in the fourth."It's an amazing moment for him to play like this in this moment, in this setting, and I wasn't going to take him out," Brooks said."I was not going to take him out. I don't care how many times he looked at me fatigued. He has enough, and I think all of our guys have enough to play. You just have to fight through it."

    The spurs were the only team left that I don't not like. Now I guess I just hope the thunder win. I can't handle a victorious Kevin Garnett.
