![]() OKC does everything that the Heat do only faster and better. This is going to be ugly if Miami doesn't try to slow them down.

![]() Miami can't really slow them down because they can't play slow themselves, at least if they want to actually score.

![]() Great quote from Dirk:
"He's way more of a 3-man than I ever was. He handles the ball way better on the break than I ever did. He's got deeper range. And he's doing all this at 23. He's won the scoring title three times in a row, so that he means he won the first one at 21. I barely got through my rookie year. When I was 21, Gary Trent was still killing me in practice." |

![]() Great quote from Dirk. It might take two championships until the deranged give him proper credit. It's pretty obvious who the better player was last night.

![]() If Durant wins this Ill say he is better. But lets all just take a step back and be realistic. Switch up Durant and Lebron. Wade is old. Lebron and the Thunder would be crushing the Heat. Westbrook, Illblacka and the BEARD ARE MONSTERS.

I can tell you one thing I saw for sure. Westbrook and Durant have no fear of taking an open jump shot, while Wade and ESPECIALLY Lebron wanted no parts of it in the 2nd half. Granted, Lebron's shots looked they were launched with an uncalibrated catapult, but still. |

Westbrook and Harden. They are both better then Wade right now. I just thought Lebron could be that good. Not sure after last night. Unless Wade somehow plays like 6 years ago and Bosh does 10x more. |

If you have a clue (hello PG) as to what you are watching it is painfully obvious that OKC is a better team than Miami and what LeBron does or doesn't do cant change that. OKC is younger, healthier, stronger, faster and meshes far better than Miami. They came out a little tight and Miami was making shots that you knew wouldnt keep falling. OKC simply wore them down and in the end when Durant and Westbrook are hitting jumpers they are practically unstoppable. It has been that way pretty much all season and the fact that they are doing a better job of protecting the ball makes them that much better. I'm sure the refs/Stern will try to slow them down the next 2 games because they dont want a sweep but really how much better is Miami going to play? Offensively they scored 54 in the 1st half and got contributions from guys you wouldnt count on. Wade hasnt been good all year. Bosh is easily guarded by Ibaka especially if he is never going to go into the paint. Sure James may need to score 40 but unlike Boston and Indiana this is a team that can punch back. Defensively they are finding out that there is no real good answer to stopping OKC. Just like SA and the Lakers found out. I guess I could have summed that up by saying that OKC is just a better team. |

![]() I thought that OKC and SA were both better than Miami and nothing I saw last night makes me think different. I think OKC wins pretty easily although I wouldn't be surprised to see Miami take game two or lose tomorrow and take two at home. Basketball changes quickly. Two games into the SA/OKC series, the Spurs had won 20 straight and people were comparing them to the best teams of the past 20 years and wondering if OKC could win a game. One game into the Miami/Boston series, it looked like a Miami sweep. After game five, Miami was lucky they weren't eliminated. Then they came back. OKC very easily could have been down 3-1 against LA after destroying them by 100 in game one.
