7 game series down to the wire for SA and OKC.
So it seems.
That is unless there old bones are worn down now by KD and company.

I don't really know. It just seems like Westbrook either takes over too much and shoots them out of the game or else Durant kind of fades into the background and doesn't play as the star he is sometimes.

Obviously OKC played well these last two games, I just find it hard for this OKC team to put together 4 winning efforts against Miami. If Bosh is still out in the Finals, I would think it'd be easier for OKC, but we saw Indiana try to outrun and outgun Miami and that failed.

Indiana is a bit inexperienced and somewhat undisciplined. Durant is showing that he can play at a high level against whoever right now and Westbrook is simply one of the best players in the game, and we haven't even brought up Harden. While I think the Spurs would be stronger opposition, OKC is a superior team right now to Miami.

I had OKC as a better team than any team in the East...yes that includes the Chicago Bulls...really not a hard decision to make...and to me, they have shown improvement in these playoffs. The Spurs are the Bulls on steroids. So I don't know if Miami can overcome these teams. Right now, I would bet against it.

I wonder why Daugherty never complained about Lebron getting foul calls in abundance in past seasons...oh wait...Lebron was with CLEVELAND, Daugherty's old team.

Nothing but sour grapes...funny...but sour grapes.

Sour grapes maybe, or maybe he was just having a little fun. I'm going to guess you don't watch NASCAR. Daugherty is often facetious with his commentary. Plus if you listen to it, you can tell he's not being 100% serious.

And his response to a possible fine was a joke too.

This.

Funny how people get their panties in a bunch when someone mentions the heat getting preferential treatment from the refs.

It was a joke, calm down, damn.

Why can't it be both? And people don't speak of the feelings jokingly?

That is the way he feels, he is a Cleveland Cavalier after all. He called the officiating "horrible" in the same promo.

I don't have a problem with it. Never said whether it was right or wrong. If it didn't involve Lebron or Cleveland, he most likely wouldn't have said anything at all.

Just called it like I see it. I do understand where you are coming from...sour grapes tho.

And its funny how certain people who spoke of the worldwide leader being pro-lebron...fishes for and posts anti-Lebron video and articles. Again, more irony.

Game time. Not going to lie, pretty stoked for this game. I think LeBron plays out of his mind, but the C's find a way to win.

great first half by Boston... But I don't think they'll keep it up. They were on fire.. and Miami actually wasn't that bad. They shot 48% from the field and Boston shot 49%.

I'm expecting Miami to make a run in the 2nd half.

This is the first time I've ever seen LeBron foul out.

The Celtics ***** :beerbang:
I can't wait until the Heat loose this series and I'm courious about where Lebron will be traded to this summer.
The Bulls should offer Boozer and Deng to Miami for Lebron :troll:
