closing out a series is difficult...games have been so close...I really think this series goes back to OKC...your going to see max effort from the Thunder...
C/S about the corrupt nature of the NBA...I expect the fix to be in to push a next game....Dave Stern = Bob Arum
either way I feel the Heat take it on OKC court
man this series is over.
I said before the series that Miami would win in 5 because I saw no threat from OKC and that is what is happening now.
They had a good run but they just weren't good enough. The West and the lack of defense that they play didn't prepare them and other than Boston (which has a mental edge over the Heat) Miami has basically blown through everyone.
bs
they're not too green
they don't have a proper coach
he made the simple adjustment last series and the talent got them through.
he made no adjustments this series and STILL because of sheer talent the team is making the games close but can't close the deal...
the coach will get you 6 points a night... what have okc been losing by?
ive never been high on brooks but i thought they could overcome him and pull it out
and the disappearance of james harden is the problem
he hasn't been good the entire playoffs
but the biggest stage he is just stinking it up even more
the same bonehead shit he did all year
not passing
shooting bad shots
catching up to him
Yes it is. The Heat perimeter defense won't allow all 3 of them to get off. So the Thunder needed a monster ~40 point game from either Westbrook or Durant with the other getting 25-30 points to make up those points that Harden isn't getting and they got that tonight. Westbrook was unstoppable like some of those Dirk games last year, difference is Heat are surviving these games this year...
@ the shit I been reading on the net.
I originally called the series with my boys... Heat in 6 but wouldn't be suprised if they did it in 5.
Real Talk,
The Heat are winning because they simply are not shooting jumpers. I have never seen a finals or NBA series where the refuse to shoot jumpers.
OKC need their man hood check. How you let a team say fuck shooting jumpers and camp out in the paint all game and series![]()
yo didnt the lakers win a couple years ago against the C's
they only won 1 in boston and had to win the last 2 at home if i remember
man this series is far from over...okc just needs one in miami
plus russ has learned he can penetrate at will
The Lakers weren't down 3-1...
IDK fam...they make some mistakes that make me think they are just not ready...closing out games really shows something...they have struggled to finish games...then the bonehead play by Westbrook tonight....
Bron has been here so many times...he knows what it takes...
I agree Brooks has been fucking up...why no TO when the Heat was on that run & cut the lead?...he let them play through it & got fucked up....
benching West IDK dude made some mistakes...but they are such a young team I really think its mental too

Nope
And you're also depending on them staying hungry, look at how Dallas, Miami with Shaq and Detroit turned out.
I'd never predict multiple championships, then you have injuries like Derrick Rose
Just to "keep with the script" here's what will happen in Game 5.
Miami will blow the Thunder out by double digits to win the title in convincing fashion Thursday night. It'll be the biggest margin of victory for a team in the series.
Where's largebills with that gif he said he had in the stash?
im saying if okc wins the next one
they simply have to do what the lakers did
just win at home and theyre champs
they simply need to get home

Lockout season.
It's gonna be "he gotta win one in a regular 82-game season"![]()
Unless James is really injured I don't see OKC coming back... For one thing other than spots in game one and during the first quarter of this game, every single quarter have been played by the pace of Miami Heat basketball.. Even when the Thunder score, the shots look labored and it takes too long for them to get a shot off. While the Heat seem to score at will when ever they need a big shot...
Even though the scores are close, so far these teams are light years away from each other..
ill make something else for harden, it didn't apply to rus tonight he did good and attacked the rim
its gonna be harden and brooks ill start on it in a few moments
No team has ever come back from being down 3 to 1. Series is over. Miami is just the better team
You bringing up a dallas team that the owner broke up because
1. He didn't want to pay the luxury tax for team he feel couldn't compete for years.
2. He had the plan of going after dwight and deron.
Miami with Shaq was an old team. We are talking about the best player in the league in his PRIME!!!!!!!!! Imagine if shaq in his prime was playing with wade.
3. No one felt the pistons would be a monster they were a great team but they didn't have a player like Lebron on there team.
again we are talking about Lebron James in his prime. in a weak eastern conference. Hell Miami hobble to the Finals and look what they are doing.
it can't be they can't close out games when they haven't been blowing people out to get here and have been closing out games the entire playoffs... close games...
im saying if okc wins the next one
they simply have to do what the lakers did
just win at home and theyre champs

I been watching baskets for a lotta years and I have seen this b4...LUCK,REFS,and DESTINY.When they line up against you its a wrap and a blind man can see that since game 2 every call and every break and every loose ball has gone Heats way. OKC has had ball with chance to tie or lead the last 3 games and they missed wide open shot or was fouled or lost a loose ball or some other weird shit happens(jump ball).Give Heat credit they have closed out the last min of these 3 games and won them,BUT they better close out Thursday and not give these kids any hope.Too bad Spurs couldnt get here,they would not have blown these games in final secs like OKC has.
killa, they almost lost to the pacers...they struggled against the geriatric celtics (who struggled against the abysmal sixers). This team is FAR from invincible. For the next 2years you have three total players (Bron,Mario,Cole) who will maintain a steady rate of productivity on get slightly better...Everyone else on the roster will be at a slight or drastic decline in performance. On a nightly basis, you only have two players you can absolutely depend on getting their numbers (Bosh,Bron). Everyone else is a question mark and a maybe. It aint gonna be easy bro.again under this new cba what new team is going to come and challenge this team. You have the Bulls owner talking about making moves to avoid paying the tax. by the time this new CBA expires Lebron will have three rings
it can't be they can't close out games when they haven't been blowing people out to get here and have been closing out games the entire playoffs... close games...
How did Dirk and Shaq come back after winning a title?
Lebron is in his prime, and so is Bosh, but Wade isn't
