No kidding, I know you're a heat fan so I'm not trying to be a bitch here. But second half the Thunder came out with their game faces. They knew exactly what to do to put the Heat away and pulled it off beautifully. Heat have some adjustments to make no doubt.jpake1;1199037 wrote:Heat missed their chance to steal game one, which I believed to be the pivotal game of the series. It took only one half for OKC to get their feet under them and then it was blowout city. Miami will be hard pressed to win one single game with Wade playing like a vagina. He's my favorite player, but he's stunk of 'gina lately. I don't give a shit about his knee, no excuses. What irritates me is his lack of attention and lazy passing. When he goes to the rim, he looks healthy. I just think he's scared to do it nowadays. LBJ played good, no complaints. I would like to see him check KD in the 4th though. Westbrook tried being alpha male like I hoped for and they still won--- trouble trouble trouble. I continue to be very impressed with OKC... bastards.
Even if the thunder pull off the the second win, its still a series IMO. Look at thunder spurs series.

I'll be interested to see if the Heat keep all 3 of the big 3 for one more year. Seems about the time to blow it all up. Spolestra is gone for sure, guaranteed.

We definitely want to know if you move from the couch to bed to watch the ending of the game. This is must-know information.wes_mantooth;1199759 wrote:I have nothing to do or watch, so I will have the game on. Anyone want my sleeping, bathroom, etc schedule.....let me know.

As always, it isnt a series until someone wins on the road.

Very good story about Westbrook and his former standout high school teammate who passed away.

I agree with this. If they don't win, I dont see any way they keep Spoelstra. He was given the keys to a Ferrari and wasn't ready for it.sleeper;1199877 wrote:I'll be interested to see if the Heat keep all 3 of the big 3 for one more year.

If they lose this year, I think they keep the Big 3 one more year (though I could see the idea of trading Bosh and Wade for Howard develop into something). After next year, if there is no championship, I guarantee they will blow it up.

Wonder if Lebron steps up and actually lives up to his 1st team all Defense and most votes received status tonight and guards an offensive threat for a change

Might be too "taxing". He is viewed as a great defender by some because he gets spot duty on top players (ie- Derrick Rose last year). Any other time he is usually guarding the least offensive threat on the team.Hb31187;1200197 wrote:Wonder if Lebron steps up and actually lives up to his 1st team all Defense and most votes received status tonight and guards an offensive threat for a change

Lebron needs to guard Durant tonight, but Spoelstra and the coaching staff make the defensive assignments, not the players. For not being a "great defender" Lebron held Melo to 30% shooting, Danny Granger to mid 30% shooting and Paul Pierce to 33%, not shabby against elite offensive wings.Pick6;1200211 wrote:Might be too "taxing".

Lol. If he wants to guard KD he will. That goes for every team in the league.
Even under a coach like Phil Jackson, if Kobe wanted to guard a certain guy he did.

They tried to create mismatches due to the versatility of a guy like Lebron and Battier in the first game, it worked in the first half and they got some open shots because of it on the offensive end. The coaching staff makes the assignments for reasons, maybe they wanted to keep him fresh and out of potential foul trouble. I would expect to see him guarding him more tonight, but we're not coaching them so who knows.wildcats20;1200228 wrote:Lol. If he wants to guard KD he will. That goes for every team in the league.

Granger and pierce are not elite guards. Melo I will give you but if the heat want to win and if lebron is as good of an on ball defender as everyone says he is, then he needs to guard Durant all game. Even then I don't think he stops Durant. Not a knock on lebrons d, it's just that Durant is that good

Lebron is gonna go for at least 40 and the Heat win 101-99.
