    You do have a point there.

    But the game of basketball more often than not comes down to the last few plays of the game.

    There is no perfectly called game; there were missed calls against both teams. That one just came at the end, the most crucial moment. Yes, the Heat played great, but OKC still had a chance to steal the game if that call had gone their way.

    Personally, I am glad the series is extended, very entertaining.

    Scott Brooks is stubbornness personified. I doubt he has the guts to bench Perkins even though it's the right move. Instead, he'll just try to make harder to make lemonade out of rinds. Hope I'm wrong.

    Why is that unreasonable? If a team did enough to be within 3 points and the kicker misses, they do essentially blow the game. Winning by 3 is the same as winning by 20. In both cases, you did enough to win the game and if a kicker misses, you had played well enough to put yourself in position to win the game.

    Even with that little contact Lebron applied to Durant he still should have made that shot.

    So, you're saying the heat are going to lose? Are you really this confident? They just dominated the Thunder on their home court. The score was 18-2 at one point bro. Stop making dumb predictions. Nobody knows whats going to happen in this series. It's just 1-1.

    And people around here like me better than they like you, how about YOU leave after the series is over? You don't even have a team that you pull for. You're just so miserable you sit here and watch the games hoping the heat lose and if they win you come here and start attacking people and saying you want to fight them while slipping into deep depression. It's pathetic and everyone here knows it. (I'll get tons of rep for this post - nobody likes you, go away).

    Don't blame him, he's been the same player he's always been. It's Brooks' job to put the right lineup out there.

    Nobody is rooting for the thunder, we are rooting against Lebron, the worst thing to happen to basketball

    i have a thought that he might have thought it's going to be a long series, and he might need perkins later on. so perhaps trying to take another look at what he can get out of him and/or build the player's confidence

    You can't have replays on foul it is a judgement decision.

    The game would be a mess if they actually reviewed fouls.

    Agree lots of bad calls across the board in this particular game, but the Heat played harder and were more desperate. If Miami goes up 2-1 now, then OKC will become desperate and it will go back and forth. I've been watching the NBA for a long time, I know how this works.

    lol When reading these threads, I hate when f4p is rooting for the same team I am, because he makes us all look like biased whiners.

    Did I miss something and Stockton and Malone were erased from NBA history?

    I've been to several Heat games and plan on going to Game 5 of the Finals. The main reason I'm a Heat fan is because of haters like you. I'd hate to live my life hating on a team. I like OKC too, love Durant. It's a joy for me to watch these games regardless of who wins. For you, it controls whether or not you are depressed. Which is sad sad sad
