Good news Gondo, you'll be able to keep Harden and Ibaka

Hot damn! LOL!!!

 

[truly101]

Battier has also played out of his mind this series, in stark contrast to the utter garbage he was during the entire run to the Finals. So his numbers are a bit skewed.

I guarantee he's played this series like its his last. If they win, he gone. If they lose, he prolly gone anyway.

 

[ThisWreckage]

I don't see why the Thunder can't win 3 straight. The Heat just did and every game has been close.

Because they depend on three players and the rest of the team refuses to contribute. It's very simple. They ran into a team that is just as athletic and is young and they have no idea what to do. The Heat won't die either. San Antonio or Dallas would have not come back like the Heat did this game.

 

[BronsonLee]

Maybe it's not fair, but I can't believe Lebron didn't try to play through his injury. All I've been able to picture for the last few minutes is Isiah scoring those 25 points in game 6. Then I try to picture Kobe sitting out after that. No fucking way he would do that.

Easy for me to say though, watching on the couch. No idea what he's feeling.

I'm not a Lebron fan at all, but I don't think that's really fair. He did try and play through it, but it just seemed like if he was out there, it would've hurt them more. Good on him for trying, though.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

The story is going to keep changing until its "Lebron got cramps driving to the game and played through the entire game like a warrior!"

"LeBron got a cramp earlier in the day by letting too many cancer-ridden orphans sit on his lap, pushed through by the grace of God"

Yeah it is really easy for u to say.

Why would he hurt his team by being on the court when he couldn't play defense?

 

[Godslay]

Odds actually somewhat shift in their favor if they can win the next game. Back to back wins at home isn't really out of the question.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

Any update on Lebrons injury?
Was it just a leg cramp or is it something more serious?

 

[friskykillface]

Eddy Curry about to get a ring



lol Knicks

 

[Nosferatubeast]

I'm glad someone asked Brooks about benching Harden.

He didn't want to be selfish and hurt his team on D?

Being a liability to your team on defense and a non-factor on offense is a virtue?

Fucking hell.

 

[Vire]

Favorite win ever.

The Lebron 3 while hobbled was just... no words.

 

[KingGondo]

I don't see why the Thunder can't win 3 straight. The Heat just did and every game has been close.

Yeah, but this loss was gutting, and we're playing on the road in a closeout game.

Shocked if it comes back to OKC at this point.

 

[Noirulus]

Good news Gondo, you'll be able to keep Harden and Ibaka

:lol

So anyone know what's wrong with James? Was it just a cramp?

I want to see this series go to game 7.

 

[alr1ght]

I don't see why the Thunder can't win 3 straight. The Heat just did and every game has been close.

it's never been done.

 

[Nori Chan]

I called it.

hes the reason they were in the game

but then again turnover and stupid foul fucked them over

 

[benjipwns]

RicBucher Ric Bucher
Twittersphere hammering Scott Brooks. I'd swear I saw him tell his team 5 ticks were on shot clock. Every player looked up at it. RW, too.

.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Bosh was as invisible as Harden tonight

Outside of D

 

[Nosferatubeast]

Magic apologizing to Westbrook.

 

[charsace]

The heat are grinding them out the way every eastern conference team have worked to grind out games in these playoffs and turn them into a physical shit fest.

 

[NomarTyme]

.

Westbrook is beyond dumb.

 

[Owzers]

I know this is ref bitching but there is no way Westbrook only got fouled 2 times.

Durant and YNB got fouled a lot, the refs did in general let a lot of contact go uncalled on both ends, but overall it still looked like OKC got the worst of the no-calls.

I blame everything on Harden, not playing Collison enough, and not having any plays for Durant.

 

[Blondie]

This was so good to watch after such a disastrous 1st qtr. Ain't won shit yet, especially with the LeBron injury, but it's so close, so close... LET'S GO HEAT!

 

[StickSoldier]

Man, I wonder if Harden is having a real life experience like Durant has in Thunderstruck...

 

[tapedeck]

well fuck

 

[transience]

Being a liability to your team on defense and a non-factor on offense is a virtue?

Fucking hell.

Heh, I totally get what you're saying. I'm glad he didn't try to be a hero and sink his team. I'm just surprised he didn't give it more of a shot with everything on the line.

He fucking nailed that 3 and then went out the rest of the game. That was weird.

 

[jman2050]

Bosh was as invisible as Harden tonight

Outside of D

13 points on 6-12 shooting with 9 rebounds and stellar defense is invisible?

Come on now...

 

[Nobility]

Though the end was unsurprising. Westbrook did great tonight.

Harden...why are you even on the court, just...smh.

The hell is this? He came back in, played clutch D, popped a phenomenal 3 to put the game further out of reach, and trusted his team.

 

[neptunes]

Harden cost OKC the game

 

[MiamiWesker]

Favorite win ever.

The Lebron 3 while hobbled was just... no words.

Yup my favorite win of this Heat team.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Fisher probably just texted Kobe asking him if he saw his 4th quarter highlight.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Man, I wonder if Harden is having a real life experience like Durant has in Thunderstruck...

Nope. He's just a fraud.

YA'LL LAUGHED AT ME, YA'LL LAUGHED AT ME

 

[Ripclawe]

Here is hoping Westbrook keeps shooting next game, He can't hit like he did tonight a second time... can he?

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Exactly the touch fouls always go Miami's way.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Why not?

 

[Noirulus]

13 points on 6-12 shooting with 9 rebounds and stellar defense is invisible?

Come on now...

And a big layup near the end of the game.

 

[jman2050]

Here is hoping Westbrook keeps shooting next game, He can't hit like he did tonight a second time... can he?

Yeah, I totally see Westbrook trying to have this exact game again and failing when his shots don't go in.

 

[TheOMan]

Collison played really well tonight - too bad they went away from him.

Westbrook really impressed me tonight - amazing game. I still don't like his overall game though.

Guess BronBron is getting his chip. I may not want Miami to win, but I hope Lebron is okay.

 

[djplaeskool]

Erik Spoelstra is such a creepy lookin' dude.

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

This series fucking sucks. Come on, Thunder, wake up. :-(

 

[demigod]

I can't believe Sef airballed that 3. Would've been gamechanger right there!

 

[StickSoldier]

I'm just starting to not care if Lebron wins a ring anymore, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

 

[KingGondo]

Razor-thin margin of error in the playoffs, and we've shit the bed down the stretch in games 2-4 while Miami made shots.

Congrats to Heat-Age, even if I'm still holding out faint hope that we can make a comeback.

 

[Nosferatubeast]

I swear if Spo says competitive one more time...

 

[Canuck76]

Go all Jerry West and make Bestbrook Finals MVP on the losing team.

43 pts.

And people say knicks-era Felton would make this team better.

Seriously. Someone said that. I won't say their name here.

But that happened.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

All seriousness Spo is outcoaching Brooks.

I still haven't processed this game yet; good game though man.
