durant going off doesn't make lebron a choker. 7 is on pace for 28. kd was just ridiculous. this thunder team is like the mavs last year in terms of how good they are in the 4th quarter. they just decide they are done missing and have 2 guys with such length that you can't prevent them from shooting and they hit amazing shots. durant is going to win not 5, not 6, not 7. this team is just stacked and young.
westbrook: 27/10/8 wade: 19/8/4 wade has to step up. after the pacers series, he's not been superstar status.
Very evident that OKC moves and shares the ball well, plus they have better shooters. And Durant is just wow.
It's not LeBron's fault. He brought his game to the party. Like I said before the series, Wade has to show up(he didn't), and Westbrook was going to dominate his matchup(he did). I also said OKC's length would allow them to switch PnR and use one on one coverage, and for the most part they did that. Unless Wade starts playing like a superstar, the Heat have no chance in this series. Battier isn't scoring 17 every night nor will Chalmers chip in 10 in a half more often than not. The Thunder got nothing from Harden and dominated the 2nd half.
and okc's sudden ability to never turn the ball over right when the playoffs started is amazing. you never see a team change something like that overnight and they did. i don't know what they were doing all regular season.
What an awesome first game of the finals. First game of the postseason I actually watched in its entirety. Absolutely awesome.
I don't think this series is over. The Heat have been very on and off. They'll potentially benefit from 3 straight home games. Westbrook is likely to go Westbrook a game or two as well.
Sad that people are really going to sit here and blame Lebron smh. OKC is already deeper than throw in the fact that Wade is declining and Spoelstar is well terrible.
