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

Look, the frustration isn't with the outcome, it's with the way we arrived at the outcome.

Sure, we are capable of winning this series. But that is contingent on our team actually playing the right way. So sure, we lose a game, that's NBD. But it's not like we played well and lost the game. What's more, we're playing poorly but showing the same mistakes we've shown all playoffs, which seems to indicate that we are not going to fix these problems. We will not win the series if we continue to play this way. It's that simple. This is what has us so frustrated.

This team has high BBall IQ at times, but it gets heavily outshone by our decision to get people going instead of doing WHAT IS WORKING.

**** this. I can't stand the Kevin Durant orgasming going on all over the place. **** him. **** that team. This is our year not theirs. But we don't want it. Evidenced by not sticking to the game plan.

**** KD. Dude should not deserve to hold LeBron's jockstrap much to my chagrin, but he is playing like it.

We can't play Miller this series. Give Joel his minutes.

[NoComparison]

we cant defend, get fcking rebounds ffs

[SweetTouch]

KD rests for 3 quarters, then has energy to dominate the 4th

must feel good

[ecnirp]

Spo has done a good job lately. The Thunder played a great game. Durant played great in the 4th.

However, Spo....At least TRY LeBron on him.

Just killed all chances of coming back.

[GzyGee]

Bad game bad effort. good game for battier though

[Akshan]

I said we would lose Game 1 probably just need to win Game 2 and put size on the court. We should use Turiaf and Joel got completely **** on in the second half.

[DefenseWins]

god I can't get over how badly Wade played

if you look at the stretch where we gave the lead, Wade was SO BAD holy ****

I didn't think I'd see Wade play this bad in the FInals

he really went into Kobe mode...

but if we win game 2 it's okay. but seriously, this game was on a silver platter

Battier and Chalmers efforts are gone. Now game 2 will be even HARDER to win.

[Mourning_Would]

Stephen A. Smith predicted this exact score.

[djkeem]

also okc used a 9 man lineup, miami only used a 6 man rotation i think we gotta fix that

But Wade has played bad all post season. Its not like hes going to magically turn it around come finals

[fishfuego.]

Only making it close cause they're playing prevent defense. If they would have attacked all game instead of settling for stupid jumpers this would be a win.

Lebron I can see attacking, but in Wade I'm not seeing the same player.
I don't think he can attack like he used to for whatever reason.

Wade seems hurt or old. He just doesn't look the same.

Also officials control that 3rd quarter in favor of OKC to a point that the tied the game via FTs.

Whatever.

[Vampire Diaries]

It might be the beginning of the end for Wade. How about Wade for Deron Williams this summer?

[PurpleRooster]

Westbrook unfortunately carried the team for 3 quarters, while Durant was relegated to spot up shooter.

There was long stretches where Durant was casper the ghost standing in the corner. He had the legs for the fourth. Much respect.

[Miamis3rdRing]

WE BLEW A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

You can't do that in the Finals man, you just can't! We did that crap last year in Game 2 and paid severely for it.

[WadeInTheWater]

Seriously what more can LeBron do? He gets at least 30 EVERY **** GAME! Wade you better wake up or seriously take a hard look at yourself in the summer.
