    i do not understand why the heat have such incredible trouble throwing the ball to lebron when he is out ahead of everyone. they throw just awful passes that miss the mark by huge margins and it's not like you have to be that close to hit friggin' lebron james. wade's bounce pass came up 20 feet short. makes you appreciate lebron's long passes.

    i'm shocked lebron has 2 right after durant got 2. couldn't let the okc crowd get too mad.

    wrist is part of the ball for the thunder.


    edit: and another bounce that goes the thunder's way. 2nd miami strip that has led to a layup attempt in less than 16 minutes.

    Why do the Thunder always start out so bad?

    I know it's probably not as bold to say this right now as it was in the 1st quarter, but I never felt like the Thunder were out of this game. Even when they were down 5+ points in the middle of 1st q. I know they could come back. And I think they still can. They always play like crap to start the game. It's like they are nervous to start the game.

    LeBron's 2nd foul was a good call. He went for a strip and got the wrist of Harden.

    uh oh, the heat got a call. probably have to call lebron for an offensive foul in the next minute or two before james harden doesn't like them any more.

    Hm, I thought it's an obvious call that the first block takes precedent. The shot wasn't going even near the basket anyway.

    Refs didn't see the first block though so it's a moot point anyway.

    when you the ball into the backcourt instead of to your teammate 5 feet away because you somehow can't deflect the ball off a guy standing 2 feet away, you probably should get yelled at.

    That goaltending call on the Thunder looks iffy to me. It looked both blocks were good.

    Ibaka got away with a foul before.

    Did Battier take the role of the kid in Durant's new movie? He's on fire and Durant is ice cold.
