Game 2 Post Game NBA Finals 1-1

where's the game three game thread? you can't wait til the last second. if you're so eager to make one, follow through after the game so we have momentum...

Shane starting made a mismatch when they had Perkins starting and Ibaka basically covering Shane.

This will be interesting.

OKC obviously now can score more if Harden does start.

But... we can definitely drive more if Perkins isn't in there.

Ibaka is a good blocker, he is not good 1vs1 IMO. Just a great help defender. Durant or somebody is going to have to cover whoever is charging in for us. I think we can still kick out to Shane or even Mario if Harden starts and Perkins is out.

Perkins has always been overrated defensively, but inserting another guard... they are losing size. I think that helps us.

Only when our 265 pound forward decides to post him up. Or any of them up. This may be a really strong cure for OKC's terrible starts. I hope continue to find ways to abuse them if this really happens. Harden for Perkins is supposed to cost them defensively, but for some reason the way this team plays--we just don't take advantage of that.

Very true. Gotta take Harden or whoever in the post. LBJ doesn't really do that a lot... we'll see.

This could either be good for us at home, or good for James Harden.

BTW, found this hilarious GIF on the official Miami Heat forums. This **** is funny. Credit to whoever made it!

I gotta stop going on other sites lol. All they do is talk about how OKC is supposedly better than us -__-

I really want to win out at home, I don't want them going back to Oklahoma!

Is that GIF from Fresh Prince?

Benching Perkins opens up the lane... a lot. Ibaka is the only big and he's guarding Bosh on the perimeter. We better be in attack mode from the start if that's what OKC is really doing.

Ibaka's shot blocking skills are so predictable.. All Bosh needs to do is pump fakes and walaaaa...
