I suspect David Stern has already made a few phone calls

I dont know, Jim Rome might have distracted him. It is amazing how defensive Stern gets over the Lottery questions.

Miami was impressive tonight. Good for Lebron knocking down those two free throws at the end.

Plus that almost impossible bank shot. Look bottom line is, these playoffs have been nutty. Who though the Thunder had a shot after going down 0-2 to the Spurs? I was scared after Game 1. Now I feel like MIAMI CAN EASILY WIN 2/3 AND BE UP 3-2. We shall see.

Credit where credit is due. Lebron has been very good in this series. He's the second best player (to Durant) in the series, but he has been solid.

He hit the shots when it mattered, which is something he failed to do last year in the finals.

He was great tonight. We didn't lose the game because of the horrible non calls at the end, we lost it because Brooks is too stubborn to realize we can't keep Perkins on the floor against the Heat. The Thunder would be better off with me on the floor.

Forget all this... Did you catch him in the interview with Stu Scott? He looks beyond uncomfortable. I never noticed, is he a little anti social?

I was thinking the same thing in regards to perkins. The matchups just don't work for him in this series.

Wouldn't okc be really good running the triangle? Their half court sets,especially with the talent they have, can get pretty stagnant for long stretches.

In what world is Durant better? Give me Lebron for the next 4 years still. Durant has the better cast around him, and I think it makes him look better.

You are nuts if you think that.

I think Lebron is the more complete player right now and certainly better from the defensive end.

The scary thing about durant is he seems to keep getting better. As a scorer, he is probably better already and he still doesn't have a go to move or any semblance of a post game.

The heat have led in this series for nearly 7 of 8 quarters. If they continue to defend the way they did for much of tonight, they have a good shot.

I was wondering why okc didn't go really small and throw a lineup of harden, westbrook, ibaka, durant and sefalosha. Ibaka has improved more than any player on that team year over year. It would seem they could do more with him.

How about lebron's post game?

Easy to do after fouling Durant three times and Westbrook once on the prior play.

Durants a G. No doubt. Love how he handled himself post game. Westbrook is the best dressed player in the HISTORY OF THE NBA.
