Game Thread: OKC @ MIA

[Brahmsian]

Miami is turning the ball over and missing all their 3's while OKC are hitting their 3's.....That's the game in a nutshell

Thunder's defense doesn't have anything to do with that?

6 steals for Sefolosha. With the way he plays D he doesn't have to score that much.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

And you show you know nothing about basketball. Does Bosh have any skills whatsoever that overlap with Lebron or Wade? You didn't read what I said. The Thunder are dominating this game because of defense and the whole team can play the defense they do because of what Ibaka brings.

OKC should have gone into the luxury to resign that what would have been a sick as hell team with Harden at PG.


1 Harden
2 Westbrook
3 Durant
4 Ibaka
5 Perkins

Kevin Durant came into Miami and took the MVP from Lebron...wow

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Perkins the type of dude to go into OKC offices with an AK47 after only playing 5 minutes and the OKC rolling with out him.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Kevin Durant came into Miami and took the MVP from Lebron...wow

Said this in another thread but KD is getting a lot of credit for his support cast and LBJ's has been shit tonight.

Look at 3p% and bench points, tells the story. LBJ is out of MIA this summer.

 

[SEC Official]

Wow... what happened to the Heat?

I stepped out for a while to put my kids to bed and the game was close... turned into a blowout in 20 mins.

 

[Pariah]

I think I'd take Lamb and Jackson over Harden.

Like the depth.

I mean I wouldn't go that far....it just means that he won't get the mvp this year. Even though I picked Indy to come out the East, I'm still willing to say that the year is yet to be determined

You haven't watched Perkins as long as I have.

He never was good at guarding quick people when he was with the Celtics, which is part of the reason they were willing to part with him.

Resigning him with the bad wheels he has would have been DUMB.

He's probably going to be amnestied after this season and it's a very safe bet Boston will make no effort to get him
back.

 

[Pariah]

Anderson Varejao to OKC, por favor.

I still think MIA comes out of the east.

Perkins is more than capable on that team to stay in the paint and do his thing.

Just was not possible monitarily and history is going to show it wasn't necessary.

They ran into the best defense in the league having a good night.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Huge game by Durantula, clearly the best player in the league by far.

 

[vegasfraud]

LeBron - 34 points on 12-20 from the field

Durant - 33 points on 12-23 from the field.


MIA lost because they were sloppy as hell with the ball committing 20 turnovers...they also shot a pathetic 3-19 from the 3pt line. Also didn't help that Ibaka outscored Bosh and Lamb outscored Wade...lol

His "thing" always was frustrating broad-shouldered types. NEVER, NEVER guarding quick people. At any position.

Thunder played some SICK defense in the 2nd half, just sick. 13 of those "turnovers" were steals.

Perk's "thing" was always frustrating broad-shouldered types. NEVER, and I MEAN NEVER, guarding quick people.

The OverHEATed took maximum advantage of that in the Finals a few years back. They won't have that option this season.

Tough bleep, Miami fans.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Just was not possible monitarily and history is going to show it wasn't necessary.

If they wanted to win it all last year it was possible and necessary. Ignore the injury and the Heat beat them again in the finals, maybe not if they have that starting line up.

They ran into a very goo defense in the league while they shot like gods from 3p while increasing their 3p attempts by 7 from their average.

FIFY

Huge game by Durantula, clearly the best player in the league by far.

No, what tonight shows is KD has the better team right now, LBJ is still the better player. Even on offense, even on scoring. LBJ shot 1-5 from 3p while KD went 4-9 and LBJ still had more points on fewer shots.

 

[Brahmsian]

Thunder kick butt IN MIAMI!

Get used to it, Heat fans. It was not even remotely flukey!
