Muthafuka

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

thunder must feel bad blowing that 17 point lead?

o wait, it was the refs!

 

[thekad]

If Lebron can't go on Thursday and this goes back to OKC? Hrmmm...

Yeah, Lebron's injury looked more serious than the announcers let on. The series isn't over.

 

[alr1ght]

I told you Basketball IQ™ was important.

 

[abuC]

Mario, you muthafucka - Wade


LOL, ABC can't get right with the censoring.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

If anyone is to blame, it's that dumbass Harden

No its their dumbass coach. Harden would be a close 2nd.

 

[NomarTyme]

Pretty sure the Heats gonna get blown out on Thursday...

 

[rando14]

LBJ: A
DWade: B
Bosh: B+
Chalmers: A
Westbrook: A- (fcked up at the end)
Durant: B
Harden: F-------------
Rest of OKC: F+ (Collision provides the +)

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Skip Bayless shit on Bestbrook yet???

 

[Boombloxer]

What a game.

YNB...

 

[Grimm Fandango]

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

That ending was seriously basketball poetry.

Curious Case of Russel Westbrook and YNB, indeed.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

MY STREAK IS ALIVE BABYY IM GETTING FUCKED TONIGHT

 

[jman2050]

Basically OKC has to hope Lebron actually has a serious injury.

 

[Truphenom]

Durant better get roasted tomorrow.

 

[KingGondo]

If Lebron can't go on Thursday and this goes back to OKC? Hrmmm...

But wow, I am so sorry Gondo.

About as shitty feeling as the Spurs series was good.

GG Heat-Age. You deserved to win.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Youth has nothing to do with it. Miami's role players are just better offensive players.

Playoff numbers:

Haslem: 5 PPG on 46% shooting
Battier: 7 PPG on 37.5% shooting
Miller: 4.6 PPG on 38% shooting


Those are the 4-7 options on the Heat.

 

[Vanillalite]

Yo Psssst... I got some info for you all... Harden sucked in game 3 hardcore as well... The fact that he also sucked tonight just shows he's not ready for the finals spotlight.

 

[Dominican Power]

Biggest choke job ever.

 

[reilo]

Yeah, Lebron's injury looked more serious than the announcers let on. The series isn't over.

That looked more like a pull or a tear than anything. Either one takes MONTHS to recover from.

 

[The Frankman]

Can't wait to see how Coach Nick handles this one.

 

[scorcho]

how anyone can say this series has been bad - tight games, tons of drama and LOL WESTBROOK in full effect. most entertainingest of finals in a long time.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

thank you Magic!

"If the Heat win on Thursday, this series is over."

 

[TylerD]

Is he filling his bathtub with bottled water?

It is in an Ozarka water commercial.

 

[Knux-Future]

I told you Basketball IQ™ was important.

nah it's all about the wingspan and potenshul.

Next Thursday,

DY's life hangs in the balance.

 

[Fantomex]

somebody post that Fresh Prince Westbrook/Durant gif.

 

[Radec]

Harden been such a disappointment man, dude has been hurtin the team over and over this series.

All beard, no brains
-Meta

 

[Kusagari]

Harden has been an absolute ghost this entire series.

So much for OKC's "Big 3".

 

[MiamiWesker]

So proud of this team, AMAZING!!! Role players stepping up huge! Closing out every game as a TEAM. Love it!!!!

I am going to game 5!!!!! We better win this!!!!!

 

[Smokey]

Heat Culture - NBA champs

 

[bishoptl]

That's on Brooks or the refs to not inform him of that situation, IMO. Doesn't happen enough to be ingrained in one's head.

I disagree wholeheartedly. All he has to do is look up. Do you think Battier or Fisher would have made that same mistake? Not likely.

He's young, it will come with time. He pissed away the Zombie Sonics' chances at the end with that sequence, though.

 

[friskykillface]

MY STREAK IS ALIVE BABYY IM GETTING FUCKED TONIGHT

lol

 

[charsace]

That was a pretty crazy and good game, hope Westbrook doesn't get blamed tomorrow by the media...



Are you really using Chalmers' first good game of the Finals to make your numerous assertions of Durant being much better than LeBron seem less dumb.

When did I say Durant was much better? There's a difference between saying better and much better. And yes, I think the Durant is better than Lebron. If the roleplayers on the thunder could put the ball in the hole the series would be 2-2. Over 60 points from Durant and Westbrook. The thunder's two top guys showed up in a big way. If the roleplayers contribute something on offense they win this game.

 

[RedAssedApe]

For once you can't blame YNB. He was the main reason the Thunder were still close at the end of the game.

 

[Canuck76]

Figures i would see calls of unfair reffing from OKC fans (not gondo).

You wouldn't have made it here without the refs.

 

[Owzers]

maybe next year they'll have Durant will do something down the stretch outside of try to get positioning at the three point line against 2 defenders while YNB holds the ball.

 

[Vanillalite]

Playoff numbers:

Haslem: 5 PPG on 46% shooting
Battier: 7 PPG on 37.5% shooting
Miller: 4.6 PPG on 38% shooting


Those are the 4-7 options on the Heat.

Not about playoffs as a whole. It's about stepping up when you finally get to the big stage aka the finals.

 

[abuC]

Playoff numbers:

Haslem: 5 PPG on 46% shooting
Battier: 7 PPG on 37.5% shooting
Miller: 4.6 PPG on 38% shooting


Those are the 4-7 options on the Heat.

You forgot Chalmers who is actually the 4th option - 10.7 43% shooting

 

[Goreomedy]

Congrats Heat. This really should be a better series.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

How many fts did Westbrook take?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Really afraid about Lebron...

Ever have quad cramps? They linger. He will be ready for game 5.

 

[DJ88]

God damn it I'm so worried about LeBron, I really hope it's just a cramp and he'll be 100% Thursday. If he isn't I honestly don't see how we win a game without him. That three he hit was enormous!

These games man, these games are killing me one quarter at a time.

 

[parasight]

Thunder won 4 in a row, including one on the road, against the Spurs. This series isn't over.

 

[Tom Penny]

Pretty crazy that the Celtics pushed the Heat harder...or sad.

 

[effzee]

I think the series really depends on what is wrong with Lebron. If he's less than 100%, I don't think the Heat will finish the series off at home. Going back to OKC it's anybody's series.
It's far from over in my opinion.

Agreed.

And while Westbrook fucked up twice in a row at the end, Durant and Harden are to blamed for the whole game. If it wasn't for Westbrook the game would have been a blow out for Miami.

This was Duran't game to show up and he didn't really. Harden was atrocious.

Still OKC can win the next game and then it's anyone's game in OKC.

 

[cashman]

So proud of the refs, AMAZING!!! Stern stepping up huge! Closing out every game as a TEAM. Love it!!!!

I am going to game 5!!!!! We better win this!!!!!

Congrats on the championship bro!

 

[Nosferatubeast]

thank you Refs!

Fixed.

 

[jman2050]

Two things it seems people either forgot or didn't realize coming into this series:

1. OKC's defense is not terribly good.

2. James Harden is not an elite player.

Westbrook basically saved the game for the Thunder there. Despite the stupidity at the end.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Can't wait to see how Coach Nick handles this one.

The man guaranteed that OKC would never win a ring with Russell. He deserves to go deeper than Roca pads.
