Avernus Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 That was an impressive win by the Thunder. That was an impressive win by the Thunder. with the way they came back and then just dominated down the stretch....very impressive....I would have been more impressed with the win if Wade wasn't so banged up because he is the only Heat player that I like, he has a ton of heart and was coming up clutch and that is the difference between Durant and LeBron...LeBron took some horrible shots down the stretch and should always try to drive to the hole as that is definitely his strength...driving to the hole and drawing a foul... Durant can do it all and as someone said, the Thunder could very well be the team with 7 titles, not the Heat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Durant is ice. Three pointers, dunks, it's all the same to this guy. Best player in the league and it isn't close, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Meh, I kind of expected the Heat to lose last nights game before it started. I'm not surprised that they ran out of gas at the end. The dudes were tired from a 7 game series with Boston and the Thunder had some extra rest. I still think the Heat will end up with the series but we'll have to see how it goes.

detlef Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hmm. LeBron; perfect from the line, made a clutch shot (and the two FTs that basically clinched the game) down the stretch (and, btw, dropped 30 for the 8th time in 9 games), and said all the right things in his post game interview. What a dick and choke artist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricrelish Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'm enjoying this series. The NBA have scripted a good storyline with these two teams that look like they could become rivals for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I feel like Durant was robbed at the end there and if it were the other way around...a foul would have been called on Durant with LeBron at the line and Durant fouling out .... LeBron definitely stepped up, especially at the end....but I feel even more confident in OKC even in that loss because that was the Heats best effort and they withstood it almost pulling out a win..

Meh...Either that or refs notoriously hold their whistle at the end of games and/or blow the whistle depending on the series. Durant was fouled on the legs while the ref appeared to be screened, but if Miami was already ahead 1 game to 0; my guess is probably one of the back court referees would have called a foul after he missed the shot. Unless the NBA chit has changed in the last 5 years, Durant has his superstar status intact and will get his, if he already hasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder why OKC seems to think Westbrook is their best player when I personally think Durant should be taking the clutch shots at the end of the game...Fisher comparing Westy to Kobe says it all... it is kinda like when the Celtics had Pierce and Walker....one had to go so the other could flourish...

detlef Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Is that you Skip Bayless? Nope, but here's another tid bit I learned from the Mothership: LeBron is averaging 30 and 10 thus far in the finals. The last non-center to do so was Havlicheck in 1969. Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirehairman Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 If OKC continues to protect the ball and make the extra pass like they did starting in game 3 against the Spurs, the Heat are about to walk into a buzzsaw. And apparently, if they go back to their one-on-one playground style, the Heat are going to grind out wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be like taking away his Tebow jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricrelish Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Seemed like Durant disappeared down the stretch. Looks like Dan Gilbert's guarantee that the Cavs will win a title before LeBron does is in jeopardy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The Thunder are choking; playing tentatively and making some really bad mistakes come crunch time. Or as I like to think of it; they are getting punished by the basketball gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Dan Gilbert's guarantee that the Cavs will win a title before LeBron does is in jeopardy. I don't think it was Durant disappearing as much as it was everyone on the Thunder except Durant and Westbrook. As good as Harden can be he can really lay an egg sometimes.

This. That team is so scary good (and not just three of them either) I really think it's them, not the Heat, who have the most potential for seven titles. Looks like OKC ran into the buzzsaw.

Ursa Majoris Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Looks like OKC ran into the buzzsaw. They just disappeared up their own rear ends. Maybe it was a little bit of inexperience but the chances were there to be 3-1 up, not down. In game 3 the FTs were missed, in game 4 they had plenty of chances to win the thing. How Harden misses that fast break layup is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
