Dwayne Wade's defense is incredible at times. Its amazing how he comes up with as many spectacular, flying blocks/steals the way that he does.
Westrbook with a horrendous foul!
Westbrook didn't know the rule! Shotclock was winding down. Totally gave the Heat the win.
i have a bad feeling this is the first of like 3 titles for the heat. Knicks better hope they got in the top 3 seeds next year
I hate the NBA right now. Can't believe this is about to happen. Thunder letting me and the world down big time. This is why I wanted the Spurs...
Have to give LeBron credit. That was a real character game for him. Games like that one puts you in the conversation with the greats. Still more questionable calls but not enough to change the outcome.
Westbrook almost defies description. Can't mention the great things he does on the floor without mentioning the no so great, and vice versa.

Durant needs to do more and where the hell was Harden AGAIN!?
If I hear again how "good" Harden is supposed to be I'm going to scream. Guy shrank like a violet tonight. Westbrook single handedly almost willed OKC to a win, but then he reminds us at the end why he gets all the criticism. Superior athleticism, maybe the best at the guard position...average to below average basketball IQ.
This series is smelling alot like Lakers vs Kings 2002 and of course Heat vs Mavericks 2006 , the officiating has been extremely one sided you can overcome 1 or 2 bad calls but not 7 or 8 that will catch up to you

Yes lets trade Melo for Harden and sign & trade him and extend Harden for 20mil since Melo is the Devil!
Need further proof that life just isn't fair?
Eddy Curry is on the verge of getting an NBA Championship ring.
oh please, anyone one of those 3 guys are far superior to Melo.
Let them take 30+ shots each game, so overrated....
So, Harden is in a bit of a funk, that doesn't take away what he has done all year and what he is capable of doing in the future.
Okc got NO one to blame but themselves. If westbrook didnt do bunch points to drive okc the hated Heat may have won by 16 instead of 6.
Point here is look at team passes/assist per game. Okc dont pass when ball goes to Harden or Russ or Durant ball rarely goes back out to extra pass which is what okc did to beat up SA
Instead ya got guys like Chalmers or battier gettin touches by passes n extra pass or tip balls go heat way.
If okc durant russ or horible Harden do few extra thangs outside of solely 1on1 play then okc will be fine and can win. But if coach brooks durant russell and harden feel they can do all alone especially if okc role guys better than heat scrubs then okc may go home losers thurs. Nite. No smarts from okc to go beyond their 3 guys and hoops basics.
The bad thing about the heat is--not only are they going to win--they have the assets to improve this summer. If Miller walks they get an exemption I believe plus the MLE and two picks in the draft.
So you guys are in agreement this is over? I still think Thunder can take this to 7 games. Hard to do, yes, but they are a young team and all they need to do is have he right frame of MIND.

Took 4 straight from SA. I want to see a KD with his back against the wall.

Still not as good as Lebron. Lebron is showing us how much distance there is between him and KD or whoever is considered the second best player in the league.
Durant and co. got played. It's very obvious that refs favor the Heat. That's difficult to overcome. This series should not be 1 to 3 right now. But it is. I have become increasingly dissatisfied with the quality of the game at its highest level, these finals are hard to watch. "When refs go wild" doing despicable things to the team you root for. I saw it in game 2 of our series and now that I saw it again in game 2 of the finals I am just lost for words.

The guy is built like a line backer and moves like a ballet dancer. He is the mohammed ali of basketball.
