NBA FINALS Game 1 06/12/2012 9:00 P.M. EST ABC

I dont mean this as a diss on Wade.

But part of me thinks he's been saving up. Which is smart...because in the earlier rounds LeBron could carry the load and Wade would make plays when needed.

Its Finals time now.....Expect DWADE to get back to scoring 25-28 points a game.

This game giving me butterflyies in the guts. Bosh' midrange game is key to drawing ibaka and perkins out the paint so bron and wade can attack. Oh and role players please show up

Hard to capture how quiet OKC is on an NBA Finals night. Forget Miami or Lauderdale. Downtown Hollywood (FL) has got to be busier.

No wonder the Thunder got so good so fast. When you're living in OKC you're either at the gym practicing (Watching the game in the case of their oft-praised crowd) or on the farm.

I had relatives there, they got the hell out as soon as possible.

Seriously, if we don't win the first game, the **** storm that will descend upon this franchise for the next 48 hours afterwards will be unprecedented. Kevin Durant might literally just bodily ascend into heaven. Harden will transform into an actual real live fish. Westbrook will hold a 40 hour postgame conference in just a clown suit.

Why do you think LeBron was so dominant in Cleveland? And struggled somewhat in his 1st year in Miami?

Its a culture shock. (As far as year round living)

Lmao, looking forward to the next news stories filled with LeBron venom, like how he can be connected to the disappearance of America's next favorite little white girl, as will be aired on Nancy Grace .

This team always tries to get a split.

Obviously, it's hard to win 3 in a row when they come home, so I don't know if their mentality changed.

But it would be nice if we win ATLEAST 1 game in OKC.

I don't expect to win tonight's game, maybe the next game.

Though if we lose those 2 I am confident we can win 4 in a row LOL.

I'd be shocked if we win today, but it would be great.

I'm interested to see how this team will come out. Every round they have come out lethargic unless it was a MUST win game.

I think they should treat every game as must win.

But Durant will miraculously find her and then marry her (after asking her parents' permission first).

This game giving me butterflyies in the guts. Bosh' midrange game is key to drawing ibaka and perkins out the paint so bron and wade can attack. Oh and role players please show up

Bosh;"When you have #3 & #6 coming down the lane Ibaka has a decision 2 make.My feet will be set.If I have my shot I'll take it & make it."

[Vertical Limit]

I think we win. Lebron will have his first ever great game in the Finals (30/8/8), Durant will struggle slightly with 24 points scored. We'll win in a close game by 5 points.

Spoelstra on possibly starting Bosh, "I've considered everything. . . The eight guys who are going to play will not be a surprise."

[JO7]

We have a great opportunity to steal home court... i am confident we will win one of these first 2 games...

[Kerosene]

Lets goooo! No fear, no regret, and absolutely NO REMORSE.

GO HEAT!

The media is milking that Kevin Durant humble thing. Ugh that's all we'll hear this series.
