The Official 2012 NBA Finals Thread: MIA vs. OKC

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Heat are winless this entire post-season when trailing after the 3rd -- hopefully that trend continues.

westbrook having his way with wade on him, more of it please.

i think okc has to change up looks on lebron, instead of durant on him all the time. it'll help keep durant out of foul trouble too.

horrible horrible horrible call, there. superstar ********, collision was there on wade.

 

[95pro]

another horrible call, sefolosha on lebron there.

KD coming up HUGE in the 4th -- LJ has disappeared.

 

[desertdawg]

Durant is a freakin MAN!!! This kid is going to funk Bron Bron's whole plan up for the next 10 years, way better player. I'll bet Durant has more rings when all is said and done.

Ftfy. This isn't a LeBron choke job. No one is hitting jumpers.

I thought so too initially. After seeing the replay it looked 50-50 to me.

Not sure if it's the coaching, but the Heat are taking horrible shots late in the game.

Yep. LeBron's 3 was a terrible shot decision.

Durant has taken over and they're up by 8 with less than 3 to go.

LeBron got the regular season MVP, which Durant deserved. So far it looks like Durant wants the MVP that counts...Finals MVP.

I totally love that guy - if he squashes LeBron for his first ring? Well, hell yeah, all the more reason to love him.

Way better? Let's not get too excited here. Durant and LeBron are virtually equal shooting and rebounding, but LeBron is far better on defense and is a much better facilitator.

Bron Bron can't find his mean mug in the fourth quarter, should be trying to match Durant shot for shot. Wade is smothered and covered like some Waffle House hash browns, Bosh was hitting shots but doesn't get seperation from his defender when Wade needs to dish it. Love me some NBA right about now, not because the Heat is Cold, but because Kevin Durant is the type of guy I like to rooot for and his talent is amazing.

Check them fourth quarter stats and get back to me vato, you can drive for show but you gotta putt for dough. Durant wants the ball amigo, and it's hard to get the ball when Westbrook is at the wheel.

 

[Mathew81]

That wasn't a foul

 

[desertdawg]

Actually I just saw Lebron mean mugging with 2 minutes left, might be a little too late though.

 

[Mathew81]

I know Bosh had a few 3's last game but there is no reason he should be taking a 3 with a minute left when they're down by 7.

 

[95pro]

giving lebron every little call...ugh

 

[Mathew81]

Game over. Thunder up 9 with 44 seconds left.

Spoelstra is a crappy coach and doesn't know how to design plays, especially late in the 4th.

I've said it before on this board - I've never seen a team blow so many double digit leads in my life

Love's sponsors the Thunder? Isn't Love's a truck stop?

LOL. OKC is crazy. Like a small college gym.

 

[Bufalay]

Wade took way too many lazy jumpers. Collison did a good job shutting down Lebron's drives in the second half.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Thunder are so talented and so relentless. It's like trying to hold back the ocean.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Thunder just seem so much more motivated and aggressive. They play so much better as a team -- I don't think the Heat can overcome that stability over the course of a series.

 

[Russ Smith]

The Thunder did well to get it to a manageable deficit by halftime, but Westbrook has to start hitting jumpers and the whole team has to take better care of the ball. Ibaka was huge for them.

The key for Westbrook was realizing he wasn't making jumpers and starting to go hard to the rim. Then later the jumpers fell enough.

Great 3rd for Westbrook great 4th for Durant.

Miami shot too many jumpers, ironic since OKC does that alot themselves.
