Being a leader isnt being a ball hog and demanding every shot. If other people on your team are shooting well, then a leader finds a way to get them the ball. All this "Stepping up and taking over" shit is a retarded argument.

Tell that to OKC and Durant who stepped up, took over and won the game for his team.

KD is scary good....

How many teams do I need to consider in the top heavy portion, 3, 4? The Heat we 11-7 against the West and 5-6 against playoff teams from the West in the regular season. Bulls 12-6 against West and 4-2 against playoff teams from the portion of the schedule I could see. February and March are showing up empty on their schedule for whatever reason. Indiana performed pretty well against the West and I'm not going to waste my time getting in depth about it because everyone knows they had no chance to make the Finals.

... 1, 2 maybe 3 on a good year. The East has two "finals caliber teams" every year, and 6 average teams.

Chicago was until Rose got injured.

Orlando would have been tops of the average teams with Howard though...

Lol seriously? That is your argument? He HAD to step
Up in the 4th because he didn't have a big 2nd and 3rd quarters? That is the stupidest argument ever. He stepped up
In the 4th because he is te best player on his team and his team needed him to step up. Just like Kobe did, Jordan did, Bird did. He is a leader. He stepped up because in the biggest moment his team needed him too. Lebron didn't. Plain and simple.

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

Actually Durant took some pretty questionable shots in the 4th... but he made enough that it didn't really matter.

my argument is just as stupid as saying doing well in the 4th is more important than doing well in the other 3.

That's a bad post, there, considering what happened. I mean, a really bad post.

see post above yours.

Durant went 6-10 and 4-4 from the FT line and 4 rebounds. He dominated the 4th. Wade was 3-5 but with 2 key TO's late.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

All that matters is the Heat lost. 3 more losses & the so called King will be passed by Durant. Nothing else matters at this point. GO THUNDER!!

 

[sooner78wakeboard]

wow...what an amazing game. Still can't believe OKC is in the final's, let alone won the first game. It's been an exciting year and the entire city is hyped! Can't get anywhere near overconfident...the series is just starting and there is still a lot of games left to play.

Thunder Up

ok so tell me again who helped their team the most?

it cant possibly be the guy that made more shots on the least shots right and contributed the most when the game was on the line

 

[Wishbone]

Oklahoma City sure know's how to flip the switch in the 4th qtr.
