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:
While the Thunder had a better start than they did in Games 1 and 2, a problem from Game 2 reappeared and helped them to fall into a 2-1 hole. Kevin Durant's foul trouble has kept him out of key stretches of Games 2 and 3 and Scott Brooks looks to mitigate this problem by putting other defenders on Lebron James and Dwyane Wade. Scott Brooks is also receiving criticism for his benching of Westbrook in the 3rd quarter at a time when Durant was also not on the floor. For the Heat, James Jones looks to play himself into more time in Game 4 after a strong showing in Game 3. Erik Spoelstra and the rest of the Heat coaching staff will urge the players to keep their foot on the gas pedal to avoid losing the Finals again after taking a 2-1 lead. Shane Battier continues to spark the starting lineup with his deadeye shooting while Brooks might look, for the first time in this series, to make a change in his starting lineup.

Go Heat!

Yeah this is awesome. Let's not forget that Spo is actually doing pretty well (ignoring game 1) against the former Coach of the Year! Gotta love that award.

2-1 seems scary though. Both of our previous finals series, the team that was up 2-1 ended up losing.

I am so excited for this game. I am expecting big performances from either Wade or Bron, or perhaps even Bosh. Would really like to see them let Bosh go to work on faceups when he is guarded by either collison or perkins, they simply can not stay in front of him. Let's Go Heat, this is a huge game.

Let me make this clear.

WE STILL HAVE NOT PLAYED OUR BEST BASKETBALL.

LeBron has been trash from outside the paint, and I just have a feeling one of these next games he will be on fire. The Thunder have enough trouble guarding him as it is so if he gets his jumper going, it will be a thing of beauty.

Bosh shot poorly yesterday as well, think we need to get him some more touches so he can be better. Wade has been playing with amazing energy but has been struggling on the offensive side. If he can get it going we'll be in a great position. And as much flack as we give Mario, he usually doesn't go 1-7 with a few turnovers in back to back games. We also know how he thinks he's the !#$# so I think that confidence will propel him to have a big game as well.

All in all, this next game will be our best. LET'S GO HEAT!

Come out with energy again, and sustain it for 4 quarters. Stay focused on defense, and keep the ball movement up on offense. Shooters make their shots count. Relentlessly attack the rim and keep the Thunder in foul trouble. Big game to take a big step towards the big prize. Let's go Heat! PEACE.

Just win man. Wade please don't do anything stupid. YOU TOO MARIO.

I SWEAR WADE HAS BEEN HANGING AROUND MARIO TOO MUCH.

lmao people are so hilarious

okay Westbrook was downright scary in games 1 and 2, being aggressive, putting up near triple double numbers despite a low %.

but as soon as the Thunder go down and the critics get to Westbrook, DURANT SUDDENLY HAS NO HELP? ARE PEOPLE FOR REAL?

and coming in to this Finals people said how Durant had a better team.
