Cause everyone loves Durant. *shrugs* Its sad but true. Durant and Melo average around the same assists I think.

Also two terrible fouls. KD was taken out and WB as well. Harden was playing like turd so stagnant offense.

Pretty much, and OKC was the best shooting team during the regular season.

Series isn't over yet, refs will make sure Durant stays out of foul trouble next game so Thunder will win on Tuesday.

Harden will get it going and OKC's defense was better in the 2nd.

It's amazing, Miami is playing great basketball, OKC isn't playing that great, and yet they still need to the refs to win games for them. Kind of sad. But, thats why this league is a joke.

Why don't people ever pay attention to this - Did David Stern force Dolan to hire Donnie Walsh so he had a decoy for the phony 3 in MIA? While everyone was talking about the knicks, Miami shadily ends up with room for 3 max guys.

I don't know man, this league is a joke

Melo's a better passer than Durant. It says so in the averages & Melo can find the open man much better than Durant can.

Anways , look at the bright side .. at least we lost to the champions if the Heat do win it that is.
My lifetime better have a Knicks championship.

Whoa Whoa Durant is a great player. He getting into too much foul trouble. But he is what is advertised. Lebron is in a class by himself. Not perfect but he does so much. Wade and Bosh have really grown into their roles this series.

But its not over. Durant sat damn near half of the 3rd quarter and the missed free throws and they still had a chance. Thunder will win game 4.
