And now, stand up and make some noise for your Eastern Conference Champion Miami Heat!

At Guard, from Kansas, number 15, Mario Chalmers:

At Guard, from Marquette, number 3, Dwyane Wade:
Image

At Forward, from St. Vincent-St.Mary High School, number 6, Lebron James:
Image

At Forward, from Duke, number 31, Shane Battier:
Image

At Center, from Georgia Tech, number 1, Chris Bosh:
Image

vs.

Chokelahoma City Blunder

Russell Westbrick:
Image

Thabo Sefolosha:
Image

Kevin Durcan't:
Image

Serge Ibaka:
Image

Kendrick Porkins:
Image

Key Matchups:
Lebron James vs. Kevin Durant
Dwyane Wade vs. Russell Westbrook
Shane Battier vs. James Harden
Chris Bosh vs. Serge Ibaka/Nick Collison/Kendrick Perkins

Coaching Matchup:
With the Thunder getting off to two consecutive slow starts, Brooks might be willing to tinker with his lineup. Harden starting at the 2 and moving Sefolosha to the 3, Durant to the 4, and Ibaka to the 5 is a possible solution. As is starting Nick Collison in the place of the mostly ineffective Kendrick Perkins. For the Heat, Joel Anthony has yet to see extended minutes despite the Thunder's heavy use of the Pick and Roll.

Go Heat!

Hopefully Battier can keep up his 3 point shooting...

He kinda reminds of J Kidd from last years finals... i kept expecting him to cool off but he just seemed to keep on draining 3s on us... (this is from memory and not looking at any numbers)

Let's hope the Heat blow them away at home...

WOW

yeah we have yet to play good to be honest.

OUr starts have been stellar but our 2nd halves have been bad

now OKC hasn't started off great, I expect that to change eventually

but MY DREAM IS TO SEE CONFETTI AT THE TRIPLE A.

winning 3 in a row will be hard, but I don't want this team to go back to OKC.

We don't have to win 4 games in a row, but we can win 1 game at a time.....4 times.

Let's go bitches! :rock:

Cue "Goodbye horses"

MIA makes everything difficult
if they do win it all this year it'll be back in OKC in a dramatic late game situation

hope i'm wrong cause this team stresses me out too much

on a greater note, i'm terrified of what RW will do tonight
the narrative is perfectly set up for him to shut everyone up and deliver an amazing performance
especially if bad wade shows up

Come out with energy, and sustain it throughout all 4 quarters. Maintain ball and player movement on offense. Cut down on the silly turnovers. Attack the rim relentlessly. Contain their fast breaks and run at every opportunity. Let's give the Thunder a good, old-fashioned Miami welcome and eat their motherf-cking faces tomorrow. Let's go Heat! PEACE.

That's hella confidence from Bosh. I wish Lebron and Wade was more like that. Alonzo was with his guarantee against the Bulls (though we lost).

Lebron has so many haters, I wish he talked like Ali used to in his prime. :lol: Would make Lebron's career even more epic.

We need to ground-and-pound these guys. Don't let them get an early or manageable lead, because they can still score like crazy and put us in a heap of trouble rather quickly. Kevin Durant better EARN the shot attempts he gets; I don't want us building up his confidence.

The Heat better not be satisfied with what they accomplished last game.

Do not let them take a game in our building and regain HCA.

I wouldn't bet on it honestly.... KD is an archer with the ball.
