If you're going to foul Lebron when he's going to the rim, you might as well wrap him up...everything else is an and 1.

Letting Battier shoot threes is much better then running a layup line for the Big 3

I'm perfectly okay with Miami winning this game, and potentially winning this series. LeBron has been playing like the guy we've all been expecting him to be in the clutch. Wade and Bosh are both contributing on a consistent basis and Spo for the most part isn't coaching them out of games.

But I swear to god, if Shane Battier hits another three ... I'm just going to **** lose it. It's gotta be his head ... I can't stand his **** head.

OKC should have two things written on their board at halftime
-Box out/rebound
-Keep Miami out of the f*cking paint.

I can't stand when guys like Battier turn into prime Ray Allen.


I now know how people felt when Toney would light it up last year.

Battier is shooting like an improved version of Novak who can actually get his shot off with good defense.

They should be up... and they need to be patient and not turnover the ball in transition.

And hustle back on D. They didn't play a good half... down 1.. should be up 5. It's looking good so far.

Another thing... I've never seen a team protect the basket so well by just using two smaller guys to flop and draw charges than Miami... if that semi circle wasn't there I don't know how they would do it.

James Harden really isn't as good as people think he is.

So far Miami just playing harder, showing they want it more, OKC needs to dig deeper.

And don't forget to pay the refs more money, they are killing the Thunder with phantom calls. LOL

I have to say, OKC looks like the softest team on defense I've almost every seen in the finals! Miami is a close second!!
