NBA FINALS : (2) OKC THUNDER VS (2)MIA HEAT

dfunkie1 · 06-12-2012, 09:39 PM

me thinks that was gonna be a pass

bjjs · 06-12-2012, 09:40 PM

All they have to do is focus for 48 minutes...this is Miami's series to lose. I didn't think they were this much better than SA.

SA had to rush things to keep up with OKC. OKC's speed and youth has no impact on Miami.

dfunkie1 · 06-12-2012, 09:41 PM

i don't think so. they've been hitting a lot of shots that they wouldn't be hitting on a nightly basis. okc is gonna make a game of this.

LJkAze · 06-12-2012, 09:42 PM

LOL Lebron felt painful; common OKC make him feel more pain

**Ball Don't Lie** · 06-12-2012, 09:44 PM

Brooks needs to keep KD on the floor as many minutes as Lebron. That should be his first adjustment. Harden should never be on LBJ.

The business of sports is becoming more and more about the 1 percent, along with a lot of entertainment in general. So it's within the realm of possibility that ownership will someday become a factor in rooting interests.

It's a free market, you can't blame the owners for trying to maximize their profits. Cities are also competing for teams, OKC was willing to invest in bringing a major league team and Seattle wasn't. Blaming the owners is pointless, why would an owner choose to lose money if he can help it?

I wouldn't be ok with my city paying for a stadium, unless a valid business case can be made for it. But I would also not blame MLSE if they moved the team somewhere else.

It's DanH's birthday today. He has probably been drinking heavily. I blame the alcohol.

I would bench Perkins for the rest of this series first and foremost, he's never going to be able to exploit his size on offense and he's bound to make a few boneheaded fouls every game. The only problem is they don't really have anybody to replace him with, unless you go with harden and risk playing them 40 minutes a game.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 06-12-2012, 09:52 PM

Derek Fisher needs to combat Battiers God mode with his own.

I like how League Pass is showing the huddles in the commercial breaks and whats going on in the arena.

bjjs · 06-12-2012, 09:53 PM

The alcohol is exposing his true emotion!!

Bosh was forged in purple and white!! Cheer for this man!

If Brooks had guts, he'd start Cook or Collison(who has had a very nice impact so far) in place of Perkins. Perkins has no good matchup since Miami isnt playing any centers and not going to Bosh in iso situations.

bjjs · 06-12-2012, 09:53 PM

Great defense Durant. Jose special - OLE!

TORaptor4Ever · 06-12-2012, 09:58 PM

One does not stop Shane Battier... one can only hope to contain him.

EDIT: If Chalmers, Battier and Haslem are going to play like this this series will be a short one.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 06-12-2012, 10:01 PM

Durant is playing very good defence vs Lebron. The other idiots need to stop playing in no mans land so damn often. Westbrook, Ibaka, and Harden have been awful so far defensively. You cant let Miamis role players beat you comeon now.

They need collison to match with Bosh off the bench. They could gamble with cook, he would probably defend battler most of the time anyway. It would also free Obaka to room the paint.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 06-12-2012, 10:03 PM

And once again, why has Kevin Durant not touched the ball this qtr? Jesus christ.

Didn't you also say early in game 5 that if Manu started the whole series the series would have been done. lol

**Ball Don't Lie** · 06-12-2012, 10:04 PM

I'd even think about starting Fisher and putting him on Battier.

Thank you KD.

That was intentional
