NBA Finals Thread: Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

[Joe W. Namath]

Well how do you explain that in 10 NBA Finals games. Not one, or two games. 10 games. he averages under 20 points a game.

And his play in the finals last year was THE WORST performance a superstar player has ever had in the history of the nba finals.

How do you explain this?

I do not hate LeBron. But he plays his worst on his profession's biggest stage - The NBA Finals. That is not debatable.

No player in NBA history has ever averaged more points in game 7's in the history of the NBA. No one!!

OKC is in trouble. watch!!

For the record, I'm not doubting LeBron. I think he'll show up.

I'm doubting Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem, and Mario Chalmers.

Thunder are just way deeper.

I agree somewhat with the Lebron thing. In Cleveland he was all they had and he was doubled and tripled. Last year in Miami, he played poorly in the Finals after dominating the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.

So, I agree that last year he played poorly in the finals, but with Cleveland....any quality NBA team will take away the best player when they are a one dimensional team, especially in a seven game series. So I disagree that he is a "choker" in the Finals. I guess we will see this series.

Pro basketball is so exciting.

Mid third quarter and lebron seems to be in full fear/pass/jumpshot mode. Its over for the heat already.

lolwut

The heat need lebron to take over right now. Hes got 2 points in the 4th so far. If the heat want to win, lebron needs to take over offensively and score points.

Lets see how this plays out.

Hes been playing well. Dont blind hate the guy. Hes playing well enough to win.

Durant is just a ****ing animal.

EDIT: As I hit send, LBJ takes a terrible 3 and Durant misses a makeable shot. Ugh, Im the worlds worst basketball coach.

Lebon did play well for 3 quarters, but where has the guy been in the 4th while the game is slipping away from the heat?

Hes tired. He plays like 45 minutes a game and hes been playing a lot since Christmas. The lack of depth shows late in games. He's not a choker. Hes just too hesitant and too willing to make the right basketball play instead of doing what Jordan or Kobe did which was 'get on my back, were winning this game'

[Joe W. Namath]

Nice game. Heat just seem a step slower then okc. And durant is just unbelievable. His length is just too much to handle.

Spo needs to find a way to get lebron the ball in the 4th....he needs the ball in the post..

Lebron had a nice game. Id just like to see him put the team on his back offensively. Jordan used to get his teammates involved early, then start taking over more and more as the game went on.

He needs players 3-8 step up so Lebron can sit on the bench in the 2nd and 3rd for a little bit.

This is how every game is going to play out. Close until the fresh, young legs step up at the end. Lebron and Wade are good enough to take 2 of 3 in Miami but thats about it.

[Joe W. Namath]

Harden hardly played in the second half. They didnt even need him.

I cant see the heat winning more then one game in this series. Any team that can beat san antonio 4 games in a row is just a special team.
