Game Thread: OKC @ MIA

[SEC Official]

right now lebron's supporting cast is better.. but in the 2012 finals.. he had harden/westbrook/and ibaka. the thunder were favored in that series.. and just ask the laker fans around here, the thunder were much deeper.

i thought OKC was stronger with Harden than the team they have today.

OKC will make a run. No way can miami ontinue shooting so well and OKC is a great team

18 pt lead down to 11pts pretty quickly.

What a moron Anderson looks like.

I think that is Flauge point if I'm not mistaken

 

[bksballer89]

How do you score that basket? That was clearly an airball. God NBA refs are beyond blind

Yeah sorry, I was agreeing with him... didn't make it clear

 

[Flauge]

wow.. they counted that basket? come on.. i thought the heat owned the refs. i want our money back.

How could you not be better with Harden on your team but they used him wrong and their entire team has developed...except Perkins.


This is like watching Pop coach vs Pop with all the subs last couple minutes...testing...jabbing...sizing each other up.

down to a 6pt game. Good deal.. I wanted to see a god game tonight. Blowouts suck.

horrible call there, superstar treatment...and KD gets his 2nd

I wouldn't say it was that big of a difference and I thought they had a shot...but in the end, experience won out in that series...well that and Lebron in the post

 

[Flauge]

see this is what bothers me about spoles. why take bosh out here? i know it's his normal time..but he had 11/4 in 7 minutes. ride that a little longer. maybe the whole quarter.. come back with Dwade and Beasley in the 2nd.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

@flauge ignore vegas odds on huge games like NBA finals series and the SB. The public is bad and they bet the shit out that shit and Vegas knows that.

As for Harden.....imo OKC went from being next in line to win, to having a good shot when they extended Ibaka instead of Harden

I disagree. Remember the Heat didn't have Allen, Beasley, or Bird and on top of that Cole wasn't nearly as good as he is now. Miami supporting cast was basically Battier and Chalmers

 

[BOTSLAYER]

@Kold, I would take Durant's team over LBJs...it is close as fuck though. If we remove the top 2 on each team I take OKC and it is not close, especially not over the next few years.

Totally agree

and Mike Miller. He broke the Thunder's back with a broken back.

Harden always should have been the PG and Westbrook the #2. That would have been dangerous.
