I think the THunder would have ripped us open.  Glad Miami gets to deal with them instead.  We had a graceful proud exit... not a bloodbath at the hands of the new dynasty of the NBA.

I agree, the THUNDER is gonna dust us away in maybe 5 games, we actually had a graceful fight to the end exit...

I really cannot see the Heat beating the Thunder specially if Westbrook would just realize that deferring to Durant is gonna make them Champions....Westbrook is such a chucker worst than Kobe that everytime he has the ball, he kinda only looks at the hoop first, and at KD second.


I thought it was supposed to be a bloodbath at the hands of the Heat, as well.  I guess they just took it easy on us. 

DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

Yep. I'm sure the C's are grateful.

Thunder/Heat is an interesting contrast.  We all know how talented LJ and KD are...but...

Lebron shows off HIS talents for three quarters then tries to pass the ball in the fourth.

KD spends three quarters getting his team mates involved, then takes over in the fourth to show HIS talents.

Both teams seem relatively healthy.

We shall see which is more important, a strong start or a strong finish.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...
   That is why it is called the present.

Always a strong finish. OKC proved that one last night after trailing double digits all first half

Of course I agree with you.  I am also rooting for the Thunder.  Over 7 games, though, the Heat has finals experience and you can't buy that...I hope LeBron never figures it out.

Did anyone notice when Wade trapped (I think it was) Durant's arm and tried to bring him down?  He was too big and strong and pulled his arm out.  I still think Wade has turned into a dirty player.

Did he do this YouTube link anybody? I never did but I'm starting to think more and more the Rondo injury was intentional.

Magic Johnson is dumber than I thought. I can't believe they are paying him that much money to look dumb on TV.
He just said: "in order for Heat to win, they need to outscore Thunder". No Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. Sherlock.

Yay, Bosh is starting.

This is the starting lineup I have wanted Miami to use all season. Their best unit.

Chalmers + Wade + Battier + LeBron + Bosh

They really got to attack Perk here. Bosh pick and rolls over and over. Perk is too slow and immobile to defend that sequence well enough. Attack, attack, attack.
