If so, the you should sleep well at night. WB is the reason the Thunder came back. His energy and passion is insane. I've said it before, the kid has heart.

I agree.

He just pisses me off at times with how stupid he can play.

But I have to remind myself that he's still very young and with time that will hopefully get better.

In one on one situations LeBron beat him for layups/dunks on 3 consecutive plays, he didn't even move his feet. That was horrible defense regardless of the player he was guarding.

You know what matters about that tonight?

None of it.

Durant and Thunder - 1

James and Heat - 0


All I care about is that Durant and that Thunder get 3 more wins and become champions. That's all that matters to me.

Thought you were just going for Heat to piss off the haters?

Yep and rooting for them is frustrating. I've admitted to being a LeBron fan. I don't have a favorite team, I'm just a fan of the game.

I picked OKC in 6 but I'm considering changing that to a 4 game sweep. I'm a Durant fan too....

It wasn't a blowout at all.

It wasn't a blowout at all.

seemed like a blowout to me, halfway through the fourth there was no doubt it was over

 

[juck]

Miami will win next game.

sig bet?

 

[Route 66]

Oh Ill do a sig bet as well...

btw, to those knocking durant's D because of lebrons game, isn't lebron supposed to be an "elite" defender? why did KD go off for 17 points in the fourth? these are super elite scorers, bruce bowen wouldn't be able to stop them!

I don't see how. If you can't beat the Heat when Chalmers and Battier have good games, your not going to beat them when those two players come down to earth.

The Heat basically go 6 deep. The Thunder's youth and depth will just wear them down. On top of that, Durant has solidified his self as the best closer in the league. I think they will be lucky to win one game.

The game was close until the final minutes then OKC just pulled away. It was not a blowout.

...and Harden was a non-factor this game. Probably not going to happen again. I still stick by my prediction (OKC in 6), but it could be less than that if Miami doesn't play any better.

Harden only 5 points too.

Obviously I don't blame ya.


Id love to see a sweep. I'd absolutely love it.

I'm sticking with Thunder in 6.

I think we win the next game then the Heat take 2 at home before we get the 3rd one there. Comeback to OKC with a 3-2 lead and finish it off in game 6.

Semantics. They outscored them by 18 in the 2nd half and clearly dominated.

Did I say they didnt? No what I said was the game was close throughout until the final minute or two.

I wasn't knocking Durant, I just don't think he is an "elite" defender. Sefolosha is an elite defender in my opinon but again, I'm not trying to take anything away from Durant because he is a solid defender. His defense on those three plays were horrendous though.

As for Durant's 17 points, the Heat switched all screens. I'm not sure how many points were actually over LeBron.

I guess we have different definitions of a blowout. To me, when a game is decided with 4 or more minutes, it's a blowout. Game 7 vs the celtics was a blowout also, in my opinion.
