So, it looks like we are going to see a repeat of last year's finals.  Lets hope Ray Allen doesn't make any miracle threes this time.

True, but more importantly, let's hope the Spurs don't freeze up and do every possible wrong thing in the last 3 minutes of the clinching game.

Lol Spurs are wrecking the Thunder. This honestly makes me think the Thunder need a huge shakeup. Trade everyone and reboot around Durant again.

They are going up against a fine tuned machine that has been around the block for a long time. They'll be fine in the long run as long as Durant and Westbrook stick around. They could use a better coach but Brooks should be good enough to win a title with. Could have a dynasty with a great one though. They still haven't come close to replacing what Harden did for their offense. They'll tinker with the lineup I imagine and be good next season. Need to ditch some of the so-so roleplayers they have like Fisher and Sefolosha.

Not only do the Spurs play a really great brand of basketball, it's gratifying to see the Thunder in the same situation they were in two years ago -- only this time, they don't have James Harden.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

I like to think the Spurs sent a message to Durant and Westbrook tonight by using their jersey numbers. "This is how many we'll beat you by, and this is how many more games you'll win"

It's interesting how much better they were without Westbrook when Durant completely carried them.  Westbrook shot 7-24 this game.  Maybe Westbrook will be on the trade market. 

Rondo and #6 for Westbrook.  Who says no?

I like the players on the team quite a lot. I think their ownership is a disgusting example of a way to run an NBA franchise, and I'm quite happy to see the team rewarded with lopsided losses because of their penny pinching and relatively nefarious activities.

If Ibaka was healthy and OKC lost, they might consider it.  Now that they've got an excuse for losing to cover up for Westbrook (and Durant's) horribly shot selection and Brooks moronic offense, they won't.   Besides, if Westbrook can't give up touches for Durant's, how many shots would he jack up in Boston?  30?  35 a game?

Vogel may be getting himself fired in this game.  The Heat defense is great but Indy's offense is pitiful. How hard is it to run a cross screen to get a mismatch in the post with West or Hibbert being guarded by a smaller guy.  And only NOW, down 15 with 2:30 left, does Vogel go small to match Miami.  Did they even once try to post up Bron when he was guarding West?

Already called it, Heat in 5 lol.

People be like "Indy won Game 1 they gonna win the series woooooo!!!" and I was just sitting there like "mkay."

Now Heat is up 2-1. Nobody in the East can stop them. Only the West can stop Miami.
