i really hate continuation and late whistles. fucking nba.

6/21/2012 9:15:43 PM

Chalmers chatted with Perkins, no hope he can win.

6/21/2012 9:19:04 PM

so the dude is jumping BACKWARDS while lebron jumps into him, and gets a foul called on him

6/21/2012 9:22:15 PM

That's 2 in a row perkins has given up. He cannot guard Bosh. Cannot guard James. Cannot guard anyone.

6/21/2012 9:28:44 PM

Superstars Durant and Westbrook better get some calls tonight.... Mike Miller best shooting in the past 2 years

[Edited on June 21, 2012 at 9:36 PM. Reason : absolutely suprised thats a charge... ]

6/21/2012 9:37:37 PM

Get Fisher the fuck out of there. thatta boy Harden... act like the heat do

[Edited on June 21, 2012 at 9:47 PM. Reason : a]

6/21/2012 9:45:01 PM

If miller gets another wide open 3 while fisher watches I might break my tv

6/21/2012 9:46:40 PM

I think I could play in the NBA and average 7 free throw attempts a game if I just ran into people, yelled "AY!" and flailed my arms

6/21/2012 10:00:32 PM

First horrible call I've seen against Miami

6/21/2012 10:03:38 PM

Ahahaha Wade, two minutes for interference.

^ Wade wasn't going for the ball, he was way too far from it to have a chance. Was clearly going for the trip.

How many games would this series have to go with Miami kicking okc Ass every night before brooks figured out his best 5 does not involve Perkins or fisher?

6/21/2012 10:04:02 PM

I'm just mad that people are going to blame this on westbrook shooting when its clearly team defense that isn't giving them a chance to win.

Its like a football team never stopping anybody and blaming the qb for throwing a few picks per game.

6/21/2012 10:05:18 PM

If this team had been assembled when wade and miller were in their primes and bosh hadn't morphed into crap it could've been the greatest of all time. Shame to see miller out there like that , he looks worse than some guys in their late 30's/early 40's. He might be doing legitimate long term damage to his body this season.

6/21/2012 10:09:53 PM

face thinks coaches should play their best five players for 48 minutes per game

6/21/2012 10:13:19 PM

face doesn't see the human element of it. they're just characters in a video game. or numbers on a card.

6/21/2012 10:21:40 PM

Next year the thunder will win. It's been an interesting progression really.

2 years ago Durant melted down in the first round to send them home.

Last year it was Westbrook crumbling under the pressure in the WCF.

This year it was Harden melting in the finals (along with sefolosha and ibaka to a slightly lesser extent) and brooks just shitting the bed continuously.



Next year you replace fisher with solid minutes from maynor and your 5 good players all have finals experience (4 of whom should continue to improve, sefolosha already hit his peak).

The only potential problem is Perkins, but with Big Country replacing nazr mohammad during the regular season there is a chance okc will realize he is the chosen one and let him help lead them to a title.


In the meantime Miami could be quite a bit worse as they age and Boston / Chicago should be very formidable opponents next year.

6/21/2012 10:24:19 PM

Fucking Miller, scoring 12 points in nine minutes. Shameful.

6/21/2012 10:24:28 PM

lol @ his grandpa walk in the tunnel

6/21/2012 10:25:41 PM

Wow none of the role playing fucks can miss

6/21/2012 10:40:30 PM

i bet Battier has made more jumpshots this series than Lebron

6/21/2012 10:42:00 PM

Just hoping Lebron can complete the triple double and maybe even score 30 points.

Kobe in his prime probably goes down to Indiana on this team if you switch him with Lebron. That's debateable but clearly Boston and OKC would have dropped the hammer on them.

Lebron's in the pantheon now.

6/21/2012 10:47:21 PM

I'm still waiting for Lebron's lady parts to cramp up again late in the 4th

Battier is the NBA Finals MVP thus far, not even debatable

6/21/2012 10:50:58 PM

^ Couldn't agree more.. If Harden would've even came close to Battier's production it would be 3-1 OKC

6/21/2012 10:57:05 PM

a flagrant foul on Fisher?

LOL at anybody who doesn't think these refs are a total joke

6/21/2012 10:58:34 PM

WHAT THE FUCK...thats a tough playoff foul thats it

[Edited on June 21, 2012 at 10:59 PM. Reason : call another flagrant on fisher... he touched wade]

6/21/2012 10:58:53 PM

that was some crap

6/21/2012 10:58:56 PM

Robert Ayers level call on the flagrant.

6/21/2012 11:02:01 PM

Robert Ayers is the worst

6/21/2012 11:03:10 PM

bron bron is just.. fun to watch... amazing what he can do

6/21/2012 11:04:03 PM

Part of it is the greatness of Wade/Lebron and to a lesser extent Battier defensively. Harden just hasn't been able to solve them at all. It's not atypical of the Heat. They did the same thing to Carmelo, Paul George, and Paul Pierce on the road to the Finals. You've got to generate your offense in another manner against the Heat, because they don't budge on the wing scoreres.

6/21/2012 11:05:29 PM

Harden hasn't been able to solve them because he doesn't get the benefit of the same foul calls that LBJ and Wade get every possession...which is somewhat understandable, since Harden isn't a superstar like LBJ and Wade

when actual superstars like Durant and Westbrook don't get the exact same calls that LBJ and Wade do, you have to face the facts that this is completely rigged

6/21/2012 11:06:05 PM

countdown to a perkins cheap shot?

6/21/2012 11:06:19 PM

lol OKC is off the rails

6/21/2012 11:07:04 PM

OMG bullshit foul

6/21/2012 11:07:16 PM

I mean Harden had a better regular season than Wade so I'm not sure where you're going with that statement.



[Edited on June 21, 2012 at 11:10 PM. Reason : a]

6/21/2012 11:07:18 PM

Never seen a team forget how to dribble in transition so consistently

6/21/2012 11:07:41 PM

but did he sell more jerseys?

6/21/2012 11:07:57 PM

200 players in the NBA had better regular seasons than Battier, so I'm not sure what that means when we're in the NBA Finals

6/21/2012 11:09:03 PM

Perkins keeps making the Javale McGhee level wtf plays, and now Kevin Durant won't stop dribbling through traffic.

Come on Tree...give it up.

He's been bull-dozing all series. You going to blame a 25pt beatdown on the refs? You're above that.

6/21/2012 11:09:56 PM

FG% 2FG% 3FG% FT% eFG% TS% PPS
Wade 49.7% 51.3% 26.8% 79.1% 50.6% 55.9% 1.29
Harden49.1% 57.9% 39.0% 84.6% 58.2% 66.0% 1.66


Who is the better scorer? You'd have to really go out on a limb to select Wade.

[Edited on June 21, 2012 at 11:11 PM. Reason : a]

6/21/2012 11:10:36 PM

come on jbrick, i know you've been a Heat fan for all of 2 seasons, but even you can't deny how inconsistent the officiating has been this series

^scoring stats have nothing to do with how refs call the games...Wade's FG% would be a lot worse if he didn't draw as many bullshit fouls, nullifying many of his FG attempts

I just think its some obvious bullshit when a superstar like Durant drives to the basket just as hard as Lebron and Wade, yet doesn't get the same bailout calls as they do

mike miller is out of his mind tonight.

6/21/2012 11:16:40 PM

still disagree with me on Mike Miller, jbrick?

6/21/2012 11:17:09 PM

how is that a blocking foul on Lebron? should've been a flagrant on Durant
