I'm mad, fucking mad!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Heat stole this game.
The refs must have wireless earphones on with David Stern on the other end at all times.
James hooks his arm with Durant RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REF. Who had the best angle that even the camera couldn't pick up & does not call it!
That was for the tie & would have forced the Heat to (choke) get the win with their own hands.

If Russel moves the ball instead of a lot of those dumb shots he takes OKC would have won. When will dude get over the hump and realize it's not about him.

Haha.
What pisses me off is the 2-3-2 format.
Unless Miami loses 2 of 3 at home, they'll be up after 5 games.
Even if OKC and Miami split games 3 and 4, that means with the series at 2-2, game 5 is in Miami.
That should not be the case.
If both teams win at home, the 2-2 breaking game 5 is in Miami.
If both teams split their home games, the 2-2 breaking game 5 is in Miami.
When the team with HCA and the team without HCA both split the first 4 games, GAME 5 SHOULD NOT FAVOR THE TEAM WITHOUT HCA.
the team with HCA basically needs to win both games 1 and 2 to avoid having their backs against the wall. Because it's not likely you're taking 2 of3 straight when all 3 are on the road.

Lol. SALT.

gondo has already shed man tears over it and tylerd switches in and out of bipolar denial
you can be a great player and be the dumbest guy on the court
Brooks is a cat though. He should've nipped this shit in the bud two years ago.

Amazing run by OKC in the 4th but Lebron's big shots/FTs got the Heat a W. Lebron foul on that last KD shot but OKC still gets more calls.
Yeah it sucks but it has been this way for a long time. Just have to dealwithit.gif
Neither team has any room to complain about getting screwed by the refs. Also, Stern is the only reason OKC even has a basketball team.

Truth.
This loss reminded me of game 2 against the Spurs. Played like dogshit, other team was hot, got down big, came back to make it a game, but still lost.
But just like the other series, there were obvious corrections we could make (namely, sitting Perk's ass firmly on the bench for Collison). But unlike that series, the Thunder will have to make adjustments and do it on the road.
I feel bad because the Thunder played badly, but I'm optimistic because the Heat played a very good game and it still should have been tied at the end.
So many missed FTs, way too many threes attempted, that bad goaltend call (at least a 5-point swing), Battier goes JAXXX on us, a questionable non-call at the end, and it's still neck-and-neck.

Battier is getting wide open looks, it's not like he's hitting contested 3 pointers left and right like Durant. On most of the shots he has time to set his feet, feel the seams on the ball and let it fly with no pressure.
are you serious? 2-3-2 favors the home court team extremely heavily, provided they hold serve. It's very difficult to win 3 in a row in the Finals so the away team almost always gives up a home game

Where are all the annoying ass drive-by post loling at "meltdowns"?

can't really complain about KD's foul by james not called, when KD's charging foul should have had him out of the game and 12 of his points taken from the scoreboard.
Which is why I lamented earlier that I am surprised that OKC made the Finals with him playing like this.
Looking at the statsheet tonight would make you think he did "well" (sorry Mamba!), but watching the game it was anything but.
YNB's poor play lost this game in the first half.

The worst thing is when he plays the way he should they basically win every time. An OKC team where Westbrook gets the ball to Harden and Durant: their scorers and he gets to the rim and knocks down his mid-range shot is nearly unstoppable.

It was changed to 2-3-2 for the 1985 Finals.
Nobody wanted to fly to Boston/Philly and back to Los Angeles between games four and five and then after game five and then again after game six anymore.
Enjoy your championship Oklahoma
It's insane. These idiots don't realize that Westbrook keeps Durant from being doubled

True, Lebron was at least aggressive in the 4th that game.
