2012 NBA Finals Thread

Well, that's the series, gentleman.

OKC came with their best knockout punch and the Heat took it and went back and won it.

OKC will probably come out on Thursday and get destroyed.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

OKC is done. They had to go up 2-0 to win this series. Can't see them winning more than a game in Miami. Wouldn't be shocked if Miami win all 3.

Looks like I'll be right.

It aint over until it's over.

Dwyane's language in the tunnel :laugh1::laugh1::laugh1::laugh1:

Great work ABC.

Westbrook, one free throw on all those drives to the basket. NBA officials are so horrible is not even funny.

It's over bro.

This series is proof positive that the better players trump the better team in basketball more often then not. You'll never, ever see a team like the Heat win a title in any other team sport.

I wouldnt be so sure, the Heat are due for another Lebron, Wade and nobody else type game. I don't think they have strung together four "team" games all year. Chalmers and Battier can't BOTH play that well again, right?

It's the whole NBA way. The stars must be promoted above the team. Superstars sell. Been that way since Jordan. That's why they get so many ridiculous calls.

Sad but true.

At least the Mavs beat these guys last year.

Last year was a rare exception, the 2004 Pistons being another.

There's also no guarantee OKC will be back next year. Dallas and the Lakers will reload in the offseason. One of those teams is getting D-Will and the other is getting Nash. Spurs aren't going anywhere.

When they don't that's when Norris Cole steps up, or Haslem steps up, or Bosh goes for 18 and 15.

And they started out like garbage in the first quarter while OKC was shooting at a mile-wide rim it seemed. That won't happen again.

That's just the nature of the league, though, because it's only 5 guys on the floor at a time.

The Heat play really good team defense too. Can't take that away from them. They're frustrating the Thunder.

 

[RastaRocket]

Last year wasn't rare, we had a complete team. We also matched up perfectly to beat the Heat.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

In college the best teams win, not the teams with the most celebrated players. Same thing in international competitions.

The best players don't get "star calls", either.

Funny how that works.

 

[casmith07]

20 fouls called on OKC, 18 fouls called on MIA.

Evenly called game. And it would've only been 19-18 if Westbrook doesn't commit that moronic foul with 18 seconds left.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Oh right, every NBA game is called completely straight up. Refs don't matter.

Unless the refs help out big time, the Heat have the advantage.

:laugh2:

If LeBron is ineffective in Game 5 then this series is far from over.

Huh? Do you even understand the concept of basketball? OKC plays more one on one offense than the Heat do. They have no true playmaker. All iso plays.

I know everyone hates Lebron and the Heat but Lebron is one of the best passers in league. Tore that defense apart with his near triple double.

Heat are the better team.PERIOD. that's why theyre one win away

And are you really gonna compare a sport that has only 5 playerss on each team to one that has 11 and 9??

 

[Lonestar94]

Well deserved Miami.

Finally, people can stop talking about Lebron James!
