Heat let one slip away there in the 2nd half, but it was a game Thunder were supposed to win having the rest and the energy of game 1 in their building. Game 2 is huge, and I think Miami will steal it. The whole series really relies on LeBron and Wade hitting jumpers, the Thunder will let them shoot Js all day. And last night nothing was even close to falling. LeBron went for 30 and I thought he played pretty average. That semi-transition crossover and dunk move of his if unguardable though, Heat need to run more (said by everyone at least 300 times this season).

I don't give coaches a lot of credit or blame usually, but Spo has gotta go next year. Again in the 2nd half Miami wasn't running much and relying on isolations. but the more egregious part was not having the 2nd half intensity and energy. Everyone on earth knew Thunder would come out crazy in the 2nd half and as usual Miami was playing YMCA energy level hoops. Heat have thrived on being pushed in the corner though, this series could be a great one i think

man kd is a baller when he hit that three to make it a 2 point game was cray

westbrook is a ferocious shooting guard trapped in a point guard cage

Great miami defense, and cole looks poised in the finals.

I'm convinced if Durant show every single shot they may go undefeated for a decade, he hits everything lol. Almost had a heart attack after that steal and three. Heat got bailed out a little bit at the end, but they played a great game.

Of course, terrible Spoelstra didn't post LeBron a single time in the 2nd half though.

Cole's got mad squabbles boy. I like the way he plays, he just needs to be more of a knock down shooter. That's why I like Chalmers out there. BTW anyone notice how often everyone is always yelling at Chalmers lol

im saying dude chalmers is secretly wack

I did like the double point guard play by spo though. Battier is shooting lights out, if only he could dribble a lil bit lol.

I think OKC is going to come out blazing after two slow starts. Great job by miami d, not even the spurs could stop the inevitabe OKC run but miami was able to cling on, thats good work.

It's later in the series, after wade bosh and bron have played a ton of minutes and are gassed that okc is gonna win.

great i have nobody to talk about bball with no more

whats going on mods chill out for a second

Series is living up to the hype so far. I thought Bosh has looked really good, even if he's not putting up too many points. I think Miami will win game 4, OKC take 5 and 6, then Miami in 7.

Sparky · 06-19-2012, 05:11 PM

Miami has got a giant cushion thanks to battier and his ridiculous 3 point shooting right now.

KD isn't going to get into early foul trouble tonight, hopefully. Westbrook needs to run more screens and kick it out, but he doesn't need to do that if he scores a bunch.

Haven't been this into a series since Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose took on the shaq/kobe lakers
