    Totally agreed. Best finals in awhile. This is 100 mph both ways. Unlike the slower, plodding teams we've seen among SA, Boston, LA in recent years.

    If the Rockets were in it yes......but the 14th pick is just as good! That will get us there next season :)

    To be honest, I think Wade really was hurt after that play. Falling on your back like that can be very painful. I had a fall like that too a few months ago during a basketball game, my back still hurt even after a week or so had passed.

    That was an amazing half of basketball. I have renewed respect for the Heat; they can take a punch. Still a must win for the Thunder. Durant and Harden have to get going. This is some of the most intense action I have seen on the basketball court. Wow.

    I'm sorry but continuation after a foul has been absolutely ridiculous throughout these playoffs.

    Well, what do ya know. Chris Bosh will be actually remembered for his contributions for the Heat's Big Three's first ring.

    Man, Lebron travels way too much. Why is the NBA so afraid to call it?

    OKC has to toughen up....this is just bad. No movement offensively letting chalmers walk into a three. smh.

    Tell me about it.

    Really doesn't matter because I've seen this before. OKC has lost their edge and mojo. This game is Miami's for the taking. They have an opportunity to open up a lead.

    Time to bring in Harden and Collison to get a vibe change. Probably won't be enough.

    J.R, JVG's comments are dead on.

    It's Game 4 of the NBA Finals and Scott Brooks still hasn't figured out Perkins is a waste of space. He doesn't get back, is slow on defense, and ruins any offensive possession in which he touches the ball. Nick Collison fueled their big lead and he will probably only get around 9 minutes the whole second half.

    Thunder are making a lot of midrange jump shots. That can be dangerous. They will be in trouble if they start missing those.

    I'm more concerned how freely they let him use his off arm to clear out whenever he drives.

    Collison is better than Perkins.
