I'm pulling for OKC, due to the Supersonics being one of my favourite teams as a kid. It's not the same thing, but it's close enough.

[NCPack2889]

I'm leaning toward Thunder in 7.

[Emmz]

OKC in 6.

[Jasonbay44]

I want Miami to win as I'm a huge Lebron fan.. but I feel like OKC is going to win.

[Palodios]

OKC in 5.

[ellsburyforMVP]

OKC in 5.

 

No respect for lebron!!!!:lol: I love it:thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

OKC in 6

[Divinity]

....and the Heat lose Game 1.

 

I think OKC got this in 6

[Emmz]

The thing is, OKC can hang with, and beat Miami when they're playing their best ball, unlike the Celtics. OKC is easily a more complete team than Miami as well.

The youngins showed up last night

Good gm, great comeback by OKC..... Durant got raped by lebron on the last shot.... That s*** needs to be called

Oh Please, Durant should have been fouled out of the game a minute prior to that play .

The block foul on battier? Ok...that was a 50/50 call... I'm not surprised though, lebron never gets called... Fact- lebron has fouled out 3 times in his career, and he's an extremely physical player

hell no , even OKC's coach thanked the refs for the call

 

That was not a 50-50 call . that was charge

Oh, I'm confused on what call then..... Anyways, officiating as a whole has been terrible for the entire playoffs, and as a result there have been plenty of " make-up" calls....

 

And regardless of - if Durant should of fouled out ( you might be right, I'm just not sure what play your talking about in particular ) or not, that shouldn't take from the fact that he got fouled ( actually twice, 1st- late reaction by lebron, he grabbed Durant's right arm and 2nd- swiped down and hit his thigh ) ... Some may say I'm being a " hater " but I've seen way less contact called a foul this whole post-season...

 

Anyways, great reaction by Durant " I missed the shot,man "

[redsoxrules]

Miami takes game 3 , now lead 2-1 .

[Emmz]

OKC should be up at least 2-1. They've given their games to Miami. They better win out, I don't think they want a game 7.

LOL , how so ?

 

Miami was in total control of game 2 all game long and if it wasn't for D wade dumbass turnover with less than a minute to play they would of won that game easily.

 

Game 3 was the same story , f***ing Wade with another silly turnover that brought the game within one , otherwise the Heat win easily again .

 

If anything the Heat should be up 3-0 after blowing that first game lead.

[Emmz]

They blew the lead because OKC overpowered them, OKC missed half their foul shots in game 3. Lebrom also got what, 2 fouls and Durant got 5? The officiating was a joke. OKC should be up 2-1. Oh wait, they blew leads in the losses, they should be up 3-0. LOL

When did OKC ever had a lead in game 2 ?

 

Aside for about about 5 minutes in game 3 , Miami outplayed them

[ellsburyforMVP]

The lack of fouls called on lebron in overwhelming...... Please don't come at me with " small sample size " crap..... He's one of the most physical players in the nba ( he's built like a brick shithouse ) and has fouled out 3 times in his career

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

LeBron really f***ed up tonight. He pissed away a possession at the end of the third quarter that really changed the game. Miami had a 7 point lead and would have taken at least that much going into the fourth if they ran clock and made sure OKC couldn't get another shot. But what does LeBron do? He settles for a dumbass heat check with plenty of time, it clanks, and the Thunder get an and1 on the other end. So what could have been a 7-10 point lead was a 4 point lead. That's kind of s*** that changes the complexion of a game and gives the losing team new life. If the Heat lose this game by one possession, LeBron should be pilloried for that.

 

See guys? I'm critical of LeBron when it's called for.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Heat win. They lead 3-1 but it's not over till it's over.

[Emmz]

The Thunder have been blowing it. They aren't in as bad a position as many have been saying, 2 games at home, I think if they win this last one in Miami they're going to be right back in it with 2 in OKC. However, I don't know if they can do it, Miami just has their number, and OKC keeps blowing leads.

[Bellhorn04]

To me it's been a great series between two teams that are very close in strength. Seesaw games, great individual performances.

 

Miami has to close it out in Game 5, they do not want to go back to OKC.

i agree to this one completely. i saw game 2 and there were fouls so much in favor or Miami in OKC that it seems like NBA wants the big 3 to win it ...they tried it last year but Dallas denied them..

officiating is always in favor of Miami that i have noticed..

game 5 is in OKC game 6 in Miami game 7 back in OKC

[Bellhorn04]

No, it's 2-3-2 in the Finals, because of the East-West travel issues.

Yeah, the 2-2-1-1-1 is a much fairer setup, really.

Wich lead did they blow in game 2 ?

 

Aside from the first quarter lastnight , the game was close throughout . OKC did not blow anything.
