What a farce.

He must be posturing for head coach or front office job somewhere.

Durant caused contact but faded away, it was a good non-call. IMO

Whos watching?

Heat r gonna be tough tonight.

cr726 · 06-17-2012, 09:38 PM

Durant is a pure scorer. Sick!

the thunder lost that game the heat did not win it..............you can not win games shooting 59 percent from the line.................come on thunder you need to take the next two.

So much for Choke City. Horrible possessions in the last 2 minutes of the game for them.

Looks like the douchebag Lebron is going to get his first and only ring.

I wouldn't count out OKC. They are resilient.

Scotty Brooks made a tactical mistake IMO by taking Westbrook out with 4-5 minutes to go in the 3rd. I know why he did it but he should have stayed with the guy who was helping to carry the team with Durant on the bench with 4 fouls.

Yes, Fisher hit that big 4 point play but they hit an offensive wall after that with Westbrook and Durant on the bench and Harden having no offensive game at all. The Heat took advantage, erasing that 10 point deficit and taking the lead into the 4th.

THAT was the turning point.

Austin · 06-18-2012, 01:01 PM

I wouldn't say it's over for OKC -- clearly all three games in this series could have gone either way -- but the momentum is definitley in Miami's favor right now.

OKC was down 0-2 to San Antonio and they looked horrible.

Then came back with an incredible 4 game winning streak.

They do need to win this next one though. Going down 3-1 would be a death blow. Lebron and Wade are not losing 3 games in a row.

No question. They've got to even it at 2-2.

Worst whistle ever. Durant is getting clobbered the whole series. Westbrook taking everything to the rim and only gets fouled once?

Ok City keeps making mental mistakes in the last 2 minutes. Congrats to Ledouche.

This is setting up perfectly for Lebron to crash and burn.

Harden has killed OKC the past 2 games.

Joe W. Namath · 06-20-2012, 10:05 AM

Its over. Heat will win Thursday night. OKC just is not ready yet. Next year, these 2 teams will meet again and it will be a much better series.

That's kind of how I feel.

You know what's depressing? I think the Spurs beat the Heat pretty handily.

Harden and Westbrook have both been very disapointing... Not a Westbrook fan at all.

If the Thunder rattled off three straight wins it would be epic. Literally zero chance that happens, but it would be epic.

Westbrook had 43 last night. He was epic last night.
