2012 Finals !!

Ok Durant was, but Durant was in foul trouble and Harden it felt like carried them while he was gone. I don't know if he shot that well, but he was drawing alot of fouls and being aggressive.

He carried them when Durant was gone? That was the stretch where Harden carried them from a 9 point lead to a 3 point deficit.

Ok so now I need to shower every Heat game day. They are now undefeated in these playoffs when I don't shower and watch the game.

Harden didnt do shit but miss 3s and flop.

They were trapping him early so he couldn't play his normal role of attacking first and then distributing.

James Harden is having a terrible series at a very bad time. He's nowhere near earning a max extension right now.

I'm pretty much at a loss for words at this point. The refereeing is very one sided and I've had enough. I'm going to try to convince myself not to watch the remaining games to save myself the frustration. I actually walked out of the room when they didn't call the foul on Wade hacking the shit out of Thabo on that late steal and score. Rigged.

Just mentally prepare yourselves for the LeBron James/Heat dick sucking fest that is about to occur when the Heat clinch the title a week from now.

I know it sucks, I know we'll be plugging our ears for the next six months, but just start fortifying your mental states. It's going to suck but it's going to happen. No use running.

Agree completely.

Lebron is going to be parading around the streets of Akron with his NBA Finals MVP trophy and Ring, and there is not a damn thing we can do about it.

It literally makes me sick.

I just pray to God Akron doesn't give that fucker a parade when they win it all and suddenly start treating him like the prodigal son again after what he did to this area.

How do you keep track of these things?

Well, then it's time to adjust.

Adversity? In a playoff game!?

So Ibaka gets 22 minutes and Collison gets 13. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure an Ibaka+Collison frount court would be more effective than anything with Perkins in it (34 minutes).

Double teams of the screen. Means even a pass was hard to make. Same thing Boston was doing to Wade before Bosh showed up.

OKC being "too young" may just be correct. They play so stupid for so many stretches during games. Not a fan of their offense at all..... which is why I was praying the Spurs would beat them. OKC has no offense. They just chuck and pray.

 

[Walter White]

My major concern if I was Thunder is that I don't know if Durant is going to be able to carry them. If he isn't hitting his shot they are really screwed. He will probably still find a way to get his points no matter what, but its alot for every game for Durant to carry them to have a chance.

ABC's 'analysts' are just terrible. Van Gundy is the only one with actually knowledge.

And what does that say about the whole NBA on ABC/ESPN presentation?

I agree, but Brooks insists to let Perkins play huge minutes.

Ibaka-Collison-Durant-Sefolosha-Westbrook should be the main lineup imo
