The officiating was terrible again, tonight, and one sided. Miami got the benefit of so many plays, it was really unfortunate.
That said, the Thunder lost because Harden shit his pants as he has all series. Can't lay blame on the refs in a 3 point game where Harden misses about 5 wide open jump shots and blows a big time layup. Period.
Brooks deserves some blame, too, by leaving Durant off Lebron way too long. harden guarding him is stupid. No surprise with Wade guarded less by Thabo he played better. It's also why chalmers got off. AND STOP PLAYING PERKINS HE IS SO TERRIBLE.
lol @ Thunder role players, though. Chalmers, Cole, battier, and James Jones has outplayed everyone not named Collison, Durant, and Westbrook on OKC. Just terrible. Remember that argument how OKC had a better supporting cast? Well, they ain't showing up right now compared to the Heat cast which was terrible until this series, inexplicably.
On another note, Lebron has turned the corner, in my eyes. Game 6 vs Boston was the game. Dude has been the best player for the Heat every game and has shown up every single night. Him working out of the post against Harden destroyed OKC. He nailed that clutch 3 at a pivotal point in the game while cramping.
I haven't read the thread, but I hope the detractors are giving Bron his props. I've said all along that I've just been waiting for him to get serious and now he has. If Miami got rid of Wade and had better/more compatible role players, the way Bron is now capable of consistently playing would make the Heat unbeatable.
I still wish Wade wouldn't win another ring, though. He still whines about every fucking call (and gets absurd calls his way). bron has completely stopped complaining since game 6 Boston.
Also, Westbrook was awesome tonight. I don't care about that bonehead play at the end (they were losing, anyway). If harden didn't shit his pants, we'd all be talking about how Westbrook carried his team to a victory tonight.
