HUSH THOSE "DURANT DA TROO MVP" CHANTS AND HIT A 3 IN HIS FAEC.

4 MORE WINS LESS GO.

Its time, less nervous today.Its the first game, unlike the 3 -2 situation with boston.
We need to take game 1, I am confident..just worried they got more rest then us.They have full energy today, while we are tired from boston game.

MiaFLSurf has been kicked out of the wolfpack due to thread fail. Good job Insanity91.

Let's get this game. Once again, people are counting us out, but we match up very well with OKC.

Come out with energy and focus again. Play every quarter with the desire we showed in the second half of the last game. Shooters make their shots. Stay out of foul trouble. Limit stupid turnovers and capitalize on all of theirs.

Let's put foot to ass in Game1 and set the tone for the series. Let's go HEAT! PEACE.

Just don't come out lazy and act like you don't give a ****. I expect a good close game and for SPO to start Bosh. If we can win the rebounding area we can win game 1 if we lose game 1 at least win game 2. As long as Miami goes back home tied 1-1 I will be content.

Olajuwon pulling for pupil LeBron James in finals

LeBron James’ post game took a leap forward this season.
With the Heat not having a traditional scoring threat on the block, LeBron James has moved more to the post (particularly early in the season.) He took 13.7 percent of his shot attempts out of the post this season and shot 50.4 percent from there and drew the foul on 9 percent of his attempts (stats via MySynergySports.com). Those are good numbers.
Some of that success came from working with legendary big man Hakeem Olajuwon down in Houston. When reached to see if he was following his star student, Olajuwon said he was pulling for LeBron in the finals. From Chris Tomasson of Fox Sports Florida.

“If he relaxes and just plays his game, he’ll be fine and I think (the Heat) win it,” said Olajuwon, who said he has become like a “big brother” to James in the past year…
“You look at a lot of the moves, and it was unbelievable to watch,” said Olajuwon, speaking Monday by phone from Jordan about having seen that Game 6 last Thursday in the Middle East. “The way they were executed it was a joy to watch because I know that we worked on that, and to see him using it at a most crucial time. He is in a comfort zone, and he is doing it how he is supposed to do it."

LeBron may find it tough to operate in the post against a Thunder team that can bring bigs like Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins over to help. But if LeBron draws a double in the post he is one of the best passers in the league and that could be trouble for the Thunder.

But he learned from the best. Like most things with the Heat these playoffs, it’s a matter of executing consistently under pressure.

So, let's win for ourselves, Seattle, and Hakeem :lol:
