This. Also, Lebron da first non-center since John Havlicheck to average 30/10+ in first 3 games of da finals since 1969 #Historicplayoffrun
That's true. But Brooks decision to take out Westbrook when he had to take Durant out because of foul trouble - was horrible decision. They had 10 point lead they were clicking especially defensivly. Thunder have to blame their offense in the 4th for this game. They completly shut Miami down in the 3rd period and when it was time to close out this game they failed. Maybe they're too young.
okc missed a ton of free throws in both games and got out rebounded. Also Durant been ballhogging. 1 assist in 2 games is unacceptable. Not passing ball = bigs disengaged which led to being out rebounded in the 2 loses
You need to choke often enough to get a reputation like that. And then you need to clutch often enough to get rid of that reputation. See Lebron for example.
Yea they built up a lead in the 3rd quarter and then he took out Westbrook and Durant. Bam lead gone. Durant had 4 fouls so it was understandable, but Westbrook should've been on the floor.
Lebron is gonna be 1 hit wonder just like Dirk, Alex Rodriguez and Peyton Manning. 1 championship doesn't justify multiple choke performances and underachieving in the winning department
Nice try on the jinx. You did this last year as well. Very Lame. Look at this pathetic thread this guy started in the feedback forum last year: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=205097
I think Lebron will win more than 1. Maybe not with the Heat but he'll win one. The amount of hate toward Lebron..makes JVG roll his eyes.

Wanted to share, posted on Grantland. http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/29792/nba-finals-shootaround-the-house-that-lebron-built Here is the play-by-play rundown of Kevin Durant's fourth quarter in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Sunday: 11:26 — Kevin Durant bad pass 9:00 — Kevin Durant makes 2-point shot 7:54 — Kevin Durant misses free throw 1 of 2 7:54 — Kevin Durant misses free throw 2 of 2 5:50 — Kevin Durant misses 25-foot 3-point jumper 5:26 — Kevin Durant defensive rebound 5:06 — Kevin Durant out-of-bounds lost turnover 3:47 — Kevin Durant shooting foul 3:36 — Kevin Durant makes 19-foot jumper 2:30 — Kevin Durant misses 10-foot jumper 1:06 — Kevin Durant misses 9-foot jumper
OKC are done. They need the Thabo that turned up in the Spurs series but that Thabo doesn't turn up very often. It's why the Bulls ditched him.
I think Thabo has been great- he has exceeded all expectations I had for him this series, and I wish Brooks would play him more.
Thunder had every chance to win this game, sure they had some calls not go their way but too many missed free throws from good FT shooters (I am not going to fault if Perkins misses a few, but for Harden and Durant to miss another story) and too many unforced turnovers is what cost them the game. Honestly if Perkins or Ibaka had any sort of post game this series would be 3-0 Thunder easily. The Heat can get away playing the smaller lineup because there is no post threat for the Thunder. As strong as James is he wouldnt be able to guard consistently a guy like Perkins or Ibaka with their size in the post. I mean at times they have Battier guarding perkins or Ibaka but they can do that and get away with it. on defense both Ibaka and Perkins are good (in perkins case really good) post defenders but since everyone on the heat are perimeter players who either spot up to shoot or drive their biggest asset defensively is negated. Thats why Collison who is their best mobile big man is having the biggest impact in this series. Brooks needs to figure out a way to punish the heat with Ibaka's and Perkins size underneath. Maybe even tried to have them post up now and then and see if it helps change the way this series is played.
I wouldn't say 3-0 easily, but not having a post game is really hurting the Thunder offensively. If they go on to lose this series, I bet scoring from the post is whats addrressed first in the offseason. Perkins has gotten the ball in the post, he can't do nothing with it. He has no offensive game. I actually saw him score once in the post last night on a baby hook. Other than that, its a wasted possession for him to even touch the ball down low.
You (Kobe fans and Lebron haters) just proved my point. Some people think Lebron winning a championship will silence all of his critics, but instead, they'll find something to b**** about. My guess is the next one will be, "let me know when he has 5 like Kobe." or "Anyone can win 1. Even Adam Morrison has 2 rings.", etc.
