    I dont think OKC loses at home. And I don't see Battier and Chalmers going off in the 1st half again..

    Battier, if you believe in averages, should play like utter crap offensively for the rest of the series. Haslem and Miller have a lot of room for improvement. Bosh and Wade also need to be better.

    I'm reminded of Rudy T's words about the Rockets' practice after stealing game 1 in Orlando from the Magic in 1995. He said the players had "happy feet" and were still thinking about about game 1 instead of looking ahead to the task at hand. He exploded on them to get their attention and make a point.

    I wonder if OKC will forget about Tuesday and properly maintain their focus. As loser of the previous game, the Heat will have an extra pep in their step and I expect them to bring more full-game intensity.

    Once again, unless it's more than 12-13 points, an early lead by either team probably means nothing. But if OKC keeps falling behind, it will bite them at some point.

    Yep. Chalmers should play worse, Wade and Bosh better, Harden a lot better.

    According to various on Twitter, Heat are opening with Chalmers, Wade, Battier, LeBron and Bosh for the first time all season.

    Perkins will be coming out pretty quick, then.

    Why even have Perkins in the starting lineup vs. Bosh? :(

    Agreed. I think it's going to have to be a rotation of role players stepping up each game for the Heat to win the series. Haslem & Miller need to do it next.

    I expect the Thunder to win big; more than 10 points. Heat will not be so hot. I promise you that Battier won't have a game like he did last time, and Harden will light them up.

    lol @ these ESPN analysts saying Miami will win.

    They all predicted Miami would win game 1 too.

    Top 40 = audience might be more inclined to know what's playing, than, some obscure song.

    Might as well be disney :p

    Yes, but the choices are still pretty poor. Didn't they play the call me maybe song? Completely irrelevant.

    when they go back to Miami, they need to play 90s seattle grunge bands for player intro.
