Yea I'm gonna say it. ECF was the real NBA Championship. Defense wins Championships and OKC plays very little of it.

Heat defense suffocating the thunder.

Am i the only one, who thinks Celtics are no match to the thunder?

I'm sure LarBrd agrees with you...

Celtics defense was good enough to keep in them in games. They could have out-executed a young Thunder team late.

The matchups don't favor the Celtics at all. Durant goes bonkers on the Celtics.

No, you're not.

I agree with you. I think Oklahoma would have beaten the Celtics too.

Guess we'll never know. Thunder lack of frontcourt scoring would have helped the C's a lot.

And honest homer. Don't see many of those nowadays.

I think the good OKC would beat Boston but the bad OKC we've seen recently would not. I guess I just stated the obvious, oh well.

Can't we just bring Gerald Green back?

Why the hell is Fisher guarding Mike Miller? As a matter of fact why is Fisher even playing ?


HOnestly, I rather him playin the point guard than Westbrook. He may be archaic, but he makes better decisions with the ball

Oklahoma have been poor tonight. Conceding a lot of high percentage shot attempts to Miami and not creating enough of their own on the other end. Too many low to medium percentage shots.

Miami's team defense is doing a terrific job of shrinking the floor and making OKC's one-on-one and PnR sequences less effective. Full credit to the Heat for that. Oklahoma need to do a much better job moving the ball and attacking quickly on the catch to beat that defense. Too much dribbling.

I'd love to see them leave Perk on the bench to start the second half. He is playing awfully. They need more quickness and energy. Go small with Ibaka at center with Harden replacing Perk.

I think Battier should be in legitimate contention for finals MVP.

The MVP: Non-Lebron division?

LeBron is averaging about 30/10/5 a game.

Battier is averaging about 12 a game, with practically no rebounds or assists.

Perk contributing so little out there.  By far the slowest player on the court.  The difference between him and Collison is startling.

Chalmers is a cocky little guy,

Battier has more bid shots than anyone in the finals so far

The 2012 version of Perk makes me very sad.

Scott Brooks still not figuring out that he shouldn't have Perk and Ibaka both on the court at the same time makes me very, very sad.

Perkin's play in these Finals makes Danny Ainge look like a prophet
