2012 NBA Playoffs

I still think the Thunder will win this game.

I agree, the Heat go through a lot of scoring droughts late in games.

I think Miami will take this game. If not, this series will go to OKC in six games. Shane Battier is the difference maker with those threes as well as defense on the OKC forwards. If Shane had chosen the Celtics instead of the heat, we would all be staying up late tonight. Miami has more weapons to throw at Miami it seems.

Battier has been the most consistent player on the Heat all postseason.

Wow Thunder, no defense at all.

Need to take Perk off the court and put Collison in.

[j804]

OKC should get Collison in there for Perk

[CelticSooner]

You know what really separates OKC from Miami? Defense. Thunder just don't play it with enough intensity on a consistent basis.

Collison was terrific in game 1.

FACT: The multi-million dollar ship crashing uselessly to the ground on that Halo 4 commercial is named the SS Kendrick Perkins.

JVG talking about Oklahoma's slow starts -- they are having slow starts because of Perk. They cannot match Miami's quickness and energy with that plodder in the lineup.

Bring him off the bench with Collison starting instead. Please.

This is a bad matchup for Perk. It shouldn't be thought of as anything else. Just a difficult situation for him. Perk has lots of value against a guy like A.Bynum but far less in this situation (vs Bosh in a spaced out offense).

[Who]

Russell Westbrook's midrange jumper off the dribble is very impressive.

[letsgoblue86]

Refs bailin' out the Heat, just like in our series.

Chris Bosh is a very good offensive rebounder. His skills on the offensive glass have been badly underutilized.

It's great to see him given a free license to attack the offensive glass instead of being asked to get back on transition defense all the time which he had to do at PF.

[GronkSpike]

I don't like the players hugging, kissing and touching the O'Brien before they win it...It should be like the Stanley Cup you only touch it in your career if you win it.

Exactly, totally agree. Bosh is usually ulitized on the Heat like a shooting guard. Get out of Lebron and Wade's way while you shoot mid range shots...if the ball is ever passed to you lol

Now the Heat are playing him like an actual big man. He's roaming the paint more
