I like Oklahoma to win this game. Miami got some great shooting from Chalmers and Battier in the first half but they only have a 7 point lead.

Oklahoma's crowd does a great job of building their team's confidence up. I fully expect them to make a major surge in the second half. And I question if Miami are playing well enough to answer that run.

I'm just looking at the box score, but does anyone else see a little Steve Francis fizzling out happening to Wade in the very near future?
I was impressed by how he is moving physically. I don't see anything that I would find overly concerning in the near future.

I do expect Wade to struggle once his athleticism starts to fade though (whenever that may be). He is so reliant on it. It's tough being a slashing undersized guard with a dodgy jumper without exceptional athleticism.

I hate Shane Battier with a passion...

Oh, beautiful steal by Sefolosha. Great hands. Pity he blew the dunk.

Westbrook is killing OKC. Take him out.

The Thunder's half court offense are making the Heat's half court offense look like a well oiled machine. Haha too funny

Big back-to-back buckets by LeBron. That should calm down his team.

Harden fouls jump-shooters too often.

Oklahoma puts so much pressure on you with all those pick and rolls. They are relentless. Just keep attacking and attacking. Probing for an opening.

How is that a good continuation Van Gundy ? He clearly took 3 steps after he got fouled
