I fear the Thunder, Heat better come out like its an elimination game in game 5. Thunder must be put down and put down hard.
his ridiculous lineup changes finally paid off
Brooks told his team about the 5 on the clock. No way he didn't. Still I don't blame Westbrook completely. He made a stupid play but he was the whole offense for them. Durant, as great as he is, disappeared and Harden just played stupid. Even on that breakaway layup you can tell he slows down to try to draw a foul and instead misses his layup.
The bigger issue with Brooks/OKC is the minutes Collison is not playing. Only good things seem to happen when he is on the floor for them.

I think this is the part where we find out that harden has been sand bagging and has joined the nwo. Only logical explanation I can think of...

On the break away layup Harden had didn't Wade grab his arm.
Its pretty inexplicable. I just hope that people don't try to explain it with "choke" or "nerves."

What a great series. LeBron will win a ring so people can stop talking about him and overanalyzing every thing he says, does or what color his shits are. Meanwhile Durant is the new LeBron and gets outplayed in the Finals by his teammate.
I blame this series loss (assuming it happens) on Brooks. Our overall talent has made it close, but his rigidity and tone-deafness with rotations has really hurt us.
Collison and Ibaka should be playing all of Perk's minutes.
I guess I can't blame Brooks for Harden's shittastic performance, though. He was big against SA, but he has been turrible against Miami.

I don't care about big numbers when it leads to dumb fuck decisions down the stretch. Westbrook always figures out a way to muck things up. Always. Every player has a consistency and his consistency is to make dumb decision down the stretch. If the Heat end up winning then Lebron deserves the Finals MVP. His stats are through the fucking roof.

So, Westbrook only shot 2 FTs.
i don't think refs are going to make that call when the lane is wide open, should have been a foul, i think he got fouled twice on that play with another push towards the basket. Harden should have just went for the layup...where he would have gotten fouled without a call too, but you have to try with the open lane.

I guess I can find a way to be happy for salty Seattle....but I was a big supporter of Cleveland in this Proxy War.
Basketball has changed. It's no longer about teams, fans or players. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by frauds, assholes and studio gangsters. Basketball, and its consumption of my time, has become a well-oiled machine. Basketball has changed. Salty ass fans cheer on salty ass players, run by salty ass ownership. HGH inside their bodies, enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Injury control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. Basketball has changed. The age of deference has become the age of Lebron James. All in the name of entertaining assholes on the internet. And he who controls the refs, controls history. Basketball has changed. When the haters are under total control, weak basketball... becomes routine.

(5 second explanation)
Hopefully Spo is right about Bron's injury
3, but yeah, pretty incredible considering almost half of his shots came from in the paint.

He has no right hand. He was going too fast to finish on that side of the rim. And he tried to switch at the last minute.
Not to mention, Wade fouling his ass. lmao.

Right, but it's not like Miami's role players have been good at all this season (or in the last several years really). Battier got uncontested looks for six months and couldn't hit anything, but since he's an NBA player, he's eventually due to make some. Chalmers was horrific in the second half of the year and has had some terrible games in the playoffs (like the last two). Even bad players have good shooting nights, Miami having Battier hot in the series and having Chalmers with one great game shouldn't be made into the reason why Miami might win the title.

Spo said it in the post game I think, but who knows.
I'm going over the top there.
No your totally right. Lebron seriously deserves that, Heat offense centered on what Lebron does. When he went out you could feel a collapse coming.

and people tried to put him in the same class as Lebron LOL
Durant is Black Dirk in his younger days when he would disappear from games too and sometimes had difficulty making an impact if his shot wasn't falling.

Westbrook did the same thing during the playoffs last year. Now that they're playing catch up it's going to be even worse. Remember when he said he thought he was the go to player on the team?
Dat Magic analysis.
Foul or not he could have dunked it. Instead he slowed down to draw a foul.

Sure didn't work for Lebron. Gotta stay hydrated!!!
