1. Lebron can't do anymore. For him to take over games he'd have to neglect Wade and that is forever the problem: 2 Alpha Dogs can't split time. There are times when Lebron needs to just say "get the F out of my way it's GAME TIME" but he can't with Wade there. Very frustrating to watch.

2.The Heat always resort to 1 on 1 basketball at the end of games. Always.

3.The Thunder's offense is more complex than it looks. Every play has Durant coming off a back pick or baseline screen and Westbrook has the option of driving if he sees them playing the screen or trying to dish. After Durant catches it there's one more backscreen or a pick and pop with Ibaka.

But when things break down it becomes Durant/Westbrook/Harden go 1on1 and make plays which works 95% of the time so screw plays.

so alpha

I keep telling people to get off Lebron. wade convinced everyone to come to Miami because HE needed help. Lebron was winning MVPs and 60 games and getting to Eastern Finals and Finals. He was doing more than Wade.

Wade is the bad guy here. Lebron busts his hump every game and plays elite defense while Wade's defense has slipped. He doesn't hustle every play. He complains. He gets in fights with coaches.

Meanwhile Lebron is putting up 35 and 13 a game.

wade is definitely a bad guy and lebron is definitely a good guy

but joining wade in miami, taking a pay cut, is not how dynasties are supposed to be formed... these guys didn't get drafted together and they're still in their prime (with one of them having perceived confidence issues and the other having already been the man)... they ain't proving anything by joining together. we were supposed to see them go to war against each other as the rivals of the future, and instead we get 'the decision'

i have less hate for bosh here since he clearly could never have been the #1 option... imagine if he'd signed onto lebron's cavs in the summer of 2010 instead...

Raining in OKC, not sure if thats a good sign(THUNDER) or bad sign (boo rain)

On the plus side for me, this means the NCAA Softball Championship game between OU and Bama is likely postponed til tomorrow, so I can give 100% of my energy to the Thunder

1. Diemsma, remember that NO ONE WANTED TO GO TO CLEVELAND. The Midwest does not appeal to urban blacks and circa 2010 that area of the country was dying harshly. They plain told Lebron no.

Secondly, remember that The Lakers got Kobe because hiugh schoolers were undervalued and got Shaq because he didn't want to be in a crappy city anymore either. The Spurs lucked into Duncan and Robinson and got Manu/Parker because every other team is stupid.

Wade and Lebron were so good that their teams, lottery teams, kept making playoff runs because they were so good. Same thing Jordan did. But then Jordan got his coach fired( no one brings this up) and lucked into Pippen by having a crappy team. Wade and Lebron never got Pippen because they kept winning and were punished for it. Bird/Magic had loaded teams in a small league.

People need to get over them teaming up. They did the same thing everyone else did just on a different way.

2. The Spurs are on FIRE. thunder jus need to stay close and wait for it to die down.

The Thunder aren't ready to close out a big series.

They're just not there yet.

Never underestimate the power of stupidity in numbers. ~War13104
Never stoop to the level of idiots. They will drag you down and beat you with experience.

Theres a difference between not being ready, and playing absolutely idiotic defense

We are doing the latter, which maybe gets fixed in time for Game 7

Im not scared of a Game 7 in San Antonio, they've lost there before in pretty much the same situation

or in time for the 2nd half >_>

Falling asleep in the 4th quarter (Just woke up now pretty much) I think explains everything.

Why do I try to predict a sport I find so boring.

lebron knocks in insane shot after insane shot for 3 quarters

and then our D finally breaks down in the 4th

not re-signing with cleveland is ok, but joining your #1 rival who's already won a ring, on said #1 rival's team, is bulls***. if lebron had signed with say bosh in NY, would have been totally different. what he did is something you're supposed to do when you're 40 like GP or karl malone and go ring-chasing on an established superstar's team as part of the supporting cast because you never won one in your prime.

lakers were lucky in getting shaq and kobe but they did it fairly. same with spurs. (both team drafted incredibly intelligently too.)

If I were the Thunder, I would rather have the Heat win Game 7. I think the Celtics could make it a seven game final if they win tonight

yeah, but why wouldn't you want a game 7 if you're the thunder?

--

I guess that I took a roundabout way of saying that a Celtic/Thunder final would be a tossup, while the Thunder should beat the Heat handily.
