Boy I hope OKC don't make the Finals. Can't stomach the thought of cheering on Queenie, Judas, Birdman and co.

You hate the Thunder that much?

I love watching them.  Last night was an awesome game.

Personally, I can't stand watching the Thunder play.  Durant and Westbrook are obviously extremely talented, but I just don't enjoy watching those two take well over half the team's shots every game.  It's just not a pleasing style of basketball to me.  I like watching teams where everyone is more involved in the offense.

Because of Steve Adams, iirc.

I get that.  I mean, there's no team in the league as fun to watch, in my book, as the Spurs.  Though they often blow teams out so you better catch the first quarter.

I typically don't enjoy ISO ball, but I find that a lot depends on the player.  I don't enjoy the Lebron James / Blake Griffin style of ISO where they kinda just barrel into the paint and power it through or get fouled.

But Durant is mesmerizing in the ways he is able to score while being so tall.  Westbrook, when he is on his game, is on an entirely different level, and can take over a game with his energy and athletic ability.

That's correct. I'm afraid to say that Adams' petty and childish comments have turned me against the entire team.

Maybe I'm taking the comments of an immature 20-year-old a little too seriously, but when someone states point blank they want to 'make your life miserable' I think I'm justified.

I don't doubt they're an entertaining team to watch. As I said I used to have a soft spot for them myself. That's changed now though.

Never thought I would side with Miami over any team other than the Lakers but there you have it. :-\

James wards off with his off arm every time he drives. I have no idea why he never gets called for it.

Brooklyn keeping it close in the first half, like usual. Hopefully they don't tire later, like usual.

Knew Nets would win game three .....just like I figured they'd loose the first two.

I don't see Heat winning this game.

But next game will be tuffer for Nets to tie series.

Nets act like they won the series right now and are still down 1. I see the cHeat beating them by 20 next game.


Stupid Nets need to act like they have been here before instead of expelling all that unnecessary energy!


cHeat in 5 and I'm once again sick about it... they aren't even being pushed.
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)
