I hope you guys are right but I'm feeling a tad bit nervous. I don't expect the Thunder to lie down.

They won't lie down but that was their game to win, man. The Heat came out flat as hell in the first quarter -- they were down 17!

That won't happen again. Unless LeBron James breaks his leg in warm ups, I think this one ends tonight. That crowd, despite not being one of the best in the NBA, is going to be upside down tonight with the chance to win it at home.

And yeah, a one-game sample game played in Miami doesn't mean much. Miami got crushed in OKC one Sunday this season, too.

No it doesn't, but it clearly demonstrates that they don't have any mythical match-up problems. They scored 120pts w/o Wade!

They were 9-1 without Wade this year.

Because of LeBron's ability to distribute the basketball, they're actually a better team with Wade off the floor.

That's interesting. It would be interesting to see who they played in those ten games.

It's hard for me to imagine that they are a better team w/o the 2nd best shooting guard in the NBA on the floor. If they are, that's the coaches fault.

But to be clear, my argument is not that S.A. couldn't beat the Heat. My argument was that the Heat wouldn't have any match-up problems vs. S.A. as they have already demonstrated.

I'll be shocked if OKC quits and the Heat run them out of the building.

OKC knows if they can bring this back to OKC with that crowd then there's a serious chance they can still win it all.

I think it'll be another close game like the last 4.

I don't think they quit. I just think their spirits are crushed.

the thunder are teetering with being blown out, they need to keep it close, within 4 or 5 id say, to keep the pressure on the heat
