No joke: the white in Bosh's right eyeball is red and the dark brown of his iris is green after the poke. Merry Xmas!

Maybe that's why he was quite..not being able to see will that to you.

BTW another awful game for Haslem..2 points 2 rebounds in 16+ minutes...how long can Spo continue with this..did you see those plays when UD got the ball in the paint with no one next to him and he just passed it back out for a 3 pointer? SMH. come on man, we need a big man there.

I'd say it was very Joel-esque, but Joel has been going up with shots there as of late.

Yeesh, though. I might be willing to commit a capital offense for the 2009 UD on this squad.

OKC gets so many **** free throws it's unbelievable, about half of them were completely undeserved. The funniest thing is that even after a -19 FT disparity for Miami, people are still complaining about the Heat getting calls. Never change RealGM.

Also, **** Tirico and Hubie, worst commentators in the NBA. Tirico has a lot of nerve to talk about LeBron flopping like that when a) there was legitimate contact and b) it's not his place to call someone out like that. They're so obviously biased with Hubie saying "Good job" and trying to encourage Westbrook after he hit a shot in the 3rd quarter and obviously rooting for the Thunder. Get that senile idiot off TV. Tirico is just an annoying prick who wouldn't stop gushing about Durant, even making some weird ass sound after he hit a nice shot. They're the worst pair of commentators to have, I still remember how unprofessional they were during the Pacers series last year. Assclowns.

@ByTimReynolds By the way, on the last Thunder possession, Kevin Martin had the ball 7.4 seconds before throwing the inbounds pass.

Yeah. It's one of the most blatant 5s violations in recent memory. The refs were inconsistent today, but them's the breaks. PEACE.

Some people brought up LeBron flopping. When exactly did this flop occur?

When a 6'3 208lb guy barely touched him fighting a screen. Lebron is not gonna get a warning of fine nor is Ray... I like the Heat but this ain't right.

Barely touched him??
He ran into him.. Also, there was no flailing of arms or head snapping. He simply din't resist.

[ricochet]

why do u even bother with the haters? they'll come up with some random stupied **** every time, who gives a crap? let them cry their eyes out, no need to post about it.

BTW, if we just hit 3's in our average % this game could have been much much easier.

Would've easily been a blowout then.

[trickshot]

We didn't play good basketball but won, which one can live with.

Good to see the two-faced b**** are at it on this board too. Some people on here don't even bother hiding their agendas.

If you're talking about my post, it was a mix up as I like to lurk team boards during games since the resident fans have better analysis of their own team's play , I meant to post it on the GB. I won't try and troll team boards. I'm far from one of the Heat haters here. I'm a neutral and have to say it was a good game, despite your offense at times looking sluggish in the 2nd half, Okc weren't able to do much outside of Durant cos of your great defense. I expected Martin to be the winning factor for OKC but he fell short of expectations. I still maintain that Wade as been getting sloppy towards ends of games but nothing that should hamper your march to a repeat.

Kept them under 100 too..

I liked this statement by Coach Spo regarding LeBron's no-foul-streak by the way:

Asked before the game about James having gone the previous six games without a foul, Spoelstra addressed the subject hardly as a badge of honor.

"I want him aggressive," he said. "I want him making plays. It is tough to consistently do that if you are not fouling."

[Alize]

wow didn't notice that we hit 100% of our free throws

[OtW]

GOD DAMN IT. I HATE LeRef/LeFlop/LeWhistle, DWhistle/DWhine, Judas Flopplesworth, and the rest of the Miami cHeat. The refs are biased towards them every time. I mean, come on, just look at how many FT attempts they got compared to the Thunder. $tern isn't hiding which team he likes.

On a side note, I was at a relatives house during the game. So, while I was watching it, I wasn't really analyzing it or anything. Seriously though...the amount of FT attempts OKC got was absurd. I was hoping that their number of free throws attempted would break 40 so I could see a thread on the GB lambasting it (either way, I have seriously seen other posters, mainly that ShowTime guy and others really, in all seriousness, simply say 'deal with it', and follow that up with a swipe at LeBron/Wade/Allen. Double standard much? lol.

On the other hand, it kind of balanced out because we got to be a hit more physical on defense during some parts of the game.

I'm confident going forward...we won and we shot like ass from down town. We played good enough defense (we can always improve in that department). Damn, KD is a beast. But, I hate Westbrook starting **** with Battier/Wade, and then whining when the ref did not call the foul for him, as he did splits in mid air, trying to draw contact on a Dwyane Wade, who was pushed to the ground by Perkins trying to pursue a rebound, trying to contest him on the floor (literally).

Mario seems to have a knack for playing against the Thunder . That, or Cole finishing games over him really got to his head.

I feel like we need to get Bosh more involved in the offense.

Great win. Like I said, it certainly is a confidence boost going forward. Had we hit our normal amount of threes, it would have been a blow out, even with all of OKC's charity stripe attempts factored in.

reading some of these posts easily shows who was a heat fan before lebron and who became one after. it's hilarious. good game all around. gotta keep it rollin against the bobcats

Rewatched the game with the sound on, so glad I watched it on mute the first time.

Anyone know where I can rewatch the game? I was at Disney for Christmas. Long story short: I had a stomachache during the game. I had been opening up the web browser to look at the scoreboard. Finished eating at the "Nine Dragons Restaurant" from EPCOT. I was so full...needed to walk and that's where the ache began, during that moment I was already by United States area headed to Japan and from there I couldn't hold it. Went to France, hauled my ass alone to England to find out the restrooms were full. At that point, I had walked from there to the restrooms next to Test Track since they're hidden and clean. Moment I was at the restroom, pulled my phone (newspaper), went to espn watching the gameboard. The clock was at 2:53 with a 2pt lead. Then I see our guys missing so many shots and Perkins with back to back turnovers. The lead still didn't go up...Wade with a steal. Then it said Durants makes freethrows and dunk. OKC was behind by 1. Well, I needed to finish my business. The moment I walked out, thankfully feeling better lol. Popped out my phone and the lead went up to three to five. I'd imagine it was intense. I saw the highlights and recap although...I really want to see the entire game.
