Hmmm, another weak 4th quarter from LeBron.

If it was another team yeah but Lebron ain't dragging his team to a win in the final 2 minutes.

Battier and Chalmers flopping all over the place.

For those who want to know what is expected of LeBron in 4th quarters of big games...atleast half of what Kevin Durant did in the 4th quarter of this game.

Lebron had the first half then Durant took over. Durant is the NBA MVP.

great game for the MVP of the league, led his team to victory!

Durant played awesome tonight especially in the 2nd half. Thunder look very tough to beat.

Just got back from the game crazy cool for basketball. There were a couple of foul calls that looked like soccer shit lol, its just awesome okc has a team and now that team is 1-0 in finals.

Collison was straight getting fucked over by the refs in this game.

Yeah I thought Miami got a couple BS calls, didn't matter though. OKC didn't even play that well.

I'm glad John Barry gave Tabo some love saying he should be NBA first team defense.

The depth of OKC killed Miami last night. Harden and Ibaka weren't much of a factor last night because Tabo and Nick got extra minutes because they were playing such great defense. Fisher had another strong outing, he was physical on defense and productive on the offensive side as well. OKC can still play much better.

That is the scary thing for Miami.

Very scary. They can still play much better. Westbrook shot poorly, Harden was a non factor and Ibaka was limited by Collisons getting more minutes. But Collison is the same every game, as consistent as they come. So many lineups OKC can throw out there.

This is going to sound bad but something is wrong with D-Wade I believe. He doesnt look explosive at all and LeBron will need some help to beat an OKC team that looks to be locked in. I say its going to sound bad because I dont want to make excuses but he definitely doesnt look right and hasnt most of these playoffs.

Well you aren't alone in that thinking. That is one of the things everyone is saying this morning, that maybe Wade's knee is hurt more then he is letting on. He is only able to go on spurts it seems.

He didnt really look good against Boston either but LeBron was good enough to get them the win in the series but in this series OKC is so good the Heat are in some trouble with Wade and Bosh not 100%. This series would be tough enough to win if they were 100% and damn near impossible if they arent. They really need to steal game 2.

IMO what they need to do is win those 3 straight at home. I don't think Miami has much of a shot at game 2.

Highest rated game 1 in NBA Finals history.

Spurs vs Thunder was the best Finals match in years.

Your boys better show me something because I haven't changed my opinion that this is the 3rd best team OKC has faced these playoffs.
