Yes, LeBron blew up and Boston had an off night offensively but to say that strictly would be to minimize Miami's effort. Defensively this was the first game where Bosh played extended minutes and it really strengthened their interior defense.
Nobody is focused on it but Miami played solid defense yesterday.
The team puts heat in a position to win but Lebron loses on an airball buzzer beater.
Miami's D was better but you have to hit shots. The bottom line is it's hard to make a run when a player is taking like 50% of the teams shots at an 80-90% clip for a very long period of the game. The Celtics had one decent chance it was with about a minute left in the 3rd down 11. Pierce had a wide open 3 and clanked it. Could have to cut it to 8 get a stop and a bucket and your in business. Instead Miami was up 13 going into the 4th.
lol, that'd suck. I think it'll be quite an easy win for Miami.

Boston is going to get housed tomorrow.

Good to hear about Bosh. I'm just tired of the Lebron hate (glad I'm not emotionally invested in him), so I'm rooting for him to get to the finals. But OKC is looking beastly, so it might not matter.
Why are there no Black people in the OKC arena? Not that they should import Lil Wayne but there has to be one black person in OKC with some money and connections.

My roommate recently bought the Alien Anthology and we have watched through Aliens. I had no idea that "nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" was from Aliens. Alien and Aliens hold up very well today.
Alien Blu-ray is one of if not the best transfer I have ever seen.
Btw Heat favored by 7.5 over Boston tomorrow..hmm

I didn't think Alien 3 was all that bad actually but damn the cast sucks aside from the black preacher dude and the med officer. And Alien Resurrection just reaffirmed how bad an actress Winona Ryder is, even the basketball part + Ron Pearlman couldn't save it

The non special edition version (theatrical release) of Alien 3 is a mess. Special edition is alright, the fact that Fincher had handcuffs on the whole production kept it from joining the ranks the first two.
There are people saying OK hasn't paid their dues? This is like he dumbest shit I've ever heard. What dues are they supposed to pay besides winning? Are they required to lose for years and stew in mediocrity before they win a title? I would love to see them win so that all the experience nonsense gets thrown out.
Durant hasn't even left OKC to join Dwight and Deron in Brooklyn yet! Then again that wouldn't help OKC....
Anyway, i am leaning towards the heat winning tmw, i don't have confidence in the truth.

Seriously plus they've already had experience with doing well in the playoffs and not getting it done in later rounds.It's not like these dudes are rookies.

Not everyone has the fortune to be on a lottery champ team.
I don't care one way or another, but OKC has been blessed with their draft picks.
I saw some black guys in the crowd. Could have been player relatives.
Why was Wayne barred from going to the game? Bad image? Didn't have a ticket?

Didn't have a ticket. Plus OKC is filled with Pusha T fans.

They've been blessed period. They didn't even have to deal with awful seasons as most "new" teams do except for like 1 year.

Now that I think about it, Pierce has probably done better too...
edit:I'm not saying I'm a great looking guy, which is why dIEHARD needs to roll up on Baldy's family reunion like he's owed something.

He could be traded back to LA (doubt it) or traded somewhere else, cut, then come back to LA. Right now he can't come back til december.

Would LA really take him back? How is he going to play in LA after what happened this past season? I wouldn't trust him to perform.
Just saw the highlights of last night. Dang. When this kid decides to ball he's the best in the basketball.
Just from the highlights i see Lebron waaay more passionate than we've seen him. He's taking people to the post and finishing. He's demanding the ball and popping swag 3's. He's telling people what to do and demanding picks. Probably should have watched last night.
That being said we'll have to see what happens in Gm7. I still remember that magical Gm4(?) 3pt heave against Orlando and thinking there was no way James could be stopped. He was.
I'm going with Celtics game 7. Lebron will have an epic game but i just think Boston will be tougher and want it more.

It's funny to see how quickly the national media has changed the narrative regarding the Boston-Miami series. Not even 24 hours ago, the talking heads were telling me that the Celtics were too mentally tough for the Heat and last night would be the end of the Miami big 3. Now the Celtics look "old, slow, and worn down" again and they're gonna get run out of the gym tomorrow against the Heat.
They made a couple of playoff runs (including the WCF last year) and got bounced.
Say what you want about the shady process that landed them in OKC and that their main guys are still young, but this team has paid their dues.

Its always the case with the 24/7 Sports media now.
All they do is make up stories and talking points to discuss till death.
I would say they have paid their dues just on an abbreviated schedule. The run through the playoffs this year is pretty crazy.
Durant rookie year with Sonics was 20-62
2008-2009 1st year: 23-59 including starting 1-13 (Firing PJ Carlisimo) and going 3-29 through the first 32 games. They finished the last 50 going 20-30. They went from not being remotely competitive to being very competitive in most games.
2009-2010 2nd year: 50-32 playoff birth as an 8 seed (The West was so good). 1 Pau Gasol block out away from extending the series to 7 games against the eventual champ Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.
2010-2011 3rd year: 55-27, 4th seed in the playoffs. Beat Denver 4-1, Fought like hell to beat Memphis in 7 including a bat shit crazy 3 overtime game 6. Lost to Dallas 4-1 in Western Conference finals after giving up multiple 4th quarter leads.
2011-2012 4th year: abbreviated season 47-19 2nd seed playoffs, swept defending champ Dallas 4-0, beat Lakers 4-1, backside sweep of 20 win streak Spurs to win West finals 4-2. Finals birth.

Yep. It's been quite the journey.
And for people implying OKC got "lucky" with their draft picks--the only pick that applies to is the #2 they used to draft Durant.
Westbrook was drafted at #4 when he was projected as a late top 10 pick. Ibaka was drafted in the early 20s and sat overseas. And Harden was picked at #3 when lots of people wanted us to take Rubio.
For the most part, the rest was savvy roster moves by Presti. Jeff Green (drafted #5 with KD) and Krstic (recruited while playing in Russia) were flipped for Perkins. Guys like Fisher and Mohammed were valued for their experience, and Sefolosha was acquired with an earlier-acquired draft pick.

How many people would be turned off, or not as interested, in the NBA finals if its OKC vs Celtics?
i would still watch it, but i wouldn't rush home for it

I wouldn't have the same interest for three reasons.
1)I don't trust the Celtics to give me a good, long series against the Thunder.
2)Don't get to see Lebron vs Durant
3)Don't get to see the Heat finally succeed/fail once again
See You Next Wednesday

I noticed how they were flip-flopping every game after being wrong.
Next game, the Celtics will win after Lebron will choke for not performing like the previous game.
