nice season guys.

Harden was a disaster in the NBA finals. The good news is you may be able to afford to sign him now. Westbrook is the best player on the thunder. He is awesome to watch.

Some weaknesses were exposed in the Finals:

*Kevin Durant's lack of being an alpha male and his lack of upper body strength

*Russell Westbrook's tendency to want to shoot more than he should

*James Harden also being bothered by an extreme physical defender

***No inside game***

The thing I would worry about in the future if I was a die hard Thunder fan is those things I mentioned above, and Scott Brooks' strategies at times if the Thunder players were sticking to the game plan. Then there is the salary cap issues that could be looming over the team with the Harden and Ibaka extensions coming up and you still don't have room to sign a good post player which will hold the team back.

also *signing Derek Fisher to lose a few possessions per game when most playoff games are decided by a few possessions.
Thanks fisher!

Battier can't handle KD, Wade can't handle Westbrook. Norris Cole is their best bet of keeping Westbrook in check and we all know how that would end.

Heat are officially done. Premature? Nah, book it. The only way we lose is if Durant suddenly goes cold. He hasn't been cold for weeks. He's everything Lebron isn't: A stonecold killer that can score any goddamn way he wants to.

It's a sweep. The Heat experiment has failed.

Chalmers isn't going to score 25 again, and Harden will pick up the slack with our backs against the wall. KD, Westbrook and Harden will combine for 80 points thursday. Book it.

I think it's safe to say that I ain't booking a damn thing through you.
