[RyanGT2007]

[RyanGT2007]

They are far from tired! They are the youngest team and in better shape!

However I agree with your maturity comment! It's making a bigger factor then lot of people realize! But I'll hold my head high and keep cheering for my team! When you play maimi plus the refs and loose by 3-6 points the last game nothing you can do!

The refs let the heat play rough and hard! Okc can't lay a finger on a single player! It is what it is!

OKC flops too much. The refs have been advised to watch for flopping.

Has anyone seen James Harden? Dude went and hid in his beard this series. Norris Cole had as many points as he did.

14 points from the starters not named Durant & Westbrook. Chalmers almost doubled that output by himself. They came into the series with only 3 scoring options and now they only have 2. That's not a winning formula.

HUGE plays by Wade down the stretch when James went out with the injury.

Blaming refs is fun, but it's not the reason your team lost.

This is looking exactly like the series against Chicago last year in the ECF.

Ill have to disagree with you on the flopping.. OKC plays with integrity. I do not believe that for a second.. I actually think Lebron is a great Actor…

Wade did do well in the end ill give you that…

However blaming the refs yea thats 50/50… Can change a game and might not. However, you could see the look on OKC faces when they didnt get calls… Harden fouled wade when he pump faked… Then Battier did the same EXACT thing to harden on the VERY next play and not call.. This happened all night.. Bosh pushed fisher into james.. James "Flopped" and fell and got the call… I could go on on on on on on on on with fouls.. You even hear NATIONAL MEDIA talk about it non stop…..

But like I said I can hold my head High knowing we play hard and barely loose when we play the refs.

The entire world outside of Miami HATES the Heat. Everyone in the world keeps making an excuse to invalidate the hard work that they have put in all year long. The team became battle tested last year, now we're battle ready. Get ready NBA, it going to be a long 5 years for everyone outside of Miami.

They flop man. Every team flops. Battier should teach a flopping class. With that said, they have been told to stop calling the flops. It's still all about attacking the basket. I'm actually shocked that Miami took 26 3 pointers.

I've been watching ESPN since the game ended and they haven't talked about the officiating yet, lol. Although they will have Steve Javie on soon.

Late in the game, during "closing time", the Heat made plays and the Thunder didn't.

I give credit to the heat they did make plays! I think that comes down to maturity of this team (Okc)! They struggled during crunch time when we normally play our best ball in the last five minutes!

 

[bigwilly43729]

Ok, off-topic. These damn glasses in the post-game press conferences are just getting silly. D-Wade is one of the best dressed guys in the NBA and is wearing those? WTF?

I laugh at a lot of them they are funny! But those things he had on was to far! Lol those were horrible!

OKC showed their youth today at the end by not knowing the situation and getting to each other by bitching. Along with Westbrook wanting to turn into Kobe tonight, it was a one on one offense the whole fourth quarter that OKC was running. No ball movement what so ever and still people find and say the refs gave the Heat these games. SMH! If yoyr going to critique the games at least know what your talking about, anybody with basketball IQ will tell you OKC is going beyond how they've won during the regular season. Durant and Westbrook seem to have a shitty relationship as well, almost like their arguing right now.

 

[LAStang1234]

Damn excited to see Miami get the win!! Lebron is almost there!

Your on crack of you can't agree on fouls! How about puttin the scorin champion on the bench for 20 minutes in two games! THAT don't make a differce? Your an idiot! Or what about the alll leading mr IBLOCKA???? The number one blocker in the league? That's didn't make a differce????

Oh then you have to have the mental part of it! The heat can play full force 110% when the thunder have to be like well we can only play 80 percent cause lebron is blowing the refs!!

Your an idiot fouls MATTER!!!!!!

Fouls do matter, but you're beginning to sound like an idiot in this tread

Even the guys on ESPN are saying it... OKC hasn't played against elite defense all season and now they're playing against the heat, the best team at getting to the rim in the league. How do you defend when you can't? You foul, like OKC is doing.

On the flip side, OKC has been dominant on offense all season, but Miami is an elite defensive team, that is why OKC has been forced to shoot from outside the key and has not gotten any calls. Attack the basket, and you will get calls. OKC can't get to the rim so they will continue to get no calls.

As for flopping, yes I will agree Miami does it a lot, but we haven't gotten the calls, so that is nullified. Miami is also one of the best teams at drawing the charge and has been the past two seasons so please once again don't blame the refs.

Durant is frustrated and Westbrook is in his little "Russell against the world" mentality again; that always spells disaster for the Thunder. He's not the best player on the team and it shows, even on nights like last night (he's a 1 guard, not a 2 or a 3)

On a side note, anyone with any resemblance of a basketball IQ can tell you that Ibaka is not a good defender, he's just a great shot blocker. Can't rebound for shit, can't defend anyone his size or bigger, for those reasons alone I'd say that Kevin Love is a better defender. I had to say something because Ibaka seems to think that he is the best defender in the league, which he is far from.

Lmao thank you heat fans, this has been great reading.

 

[despinos]

Basketball is a subjectively called game. I don't see the same gripe about refs winning games for a team as true facts. These are the best refs out there. Have you ever watched college basketball, Olympics, etc.? That is horrible officiating compared to the best of NBA in the Finals. If that's the case about refs, than I could whine about last year's finals saying that the refs gave the series to Dallas. No Dallas wanted it more and was the better team!

This series is one sided for one reason, the Heat are the better team. They are the best defensive team. They have more scorers: Lebron > Durant, Bosh > Harden, and aside from last night Wade and Westbrook are a wash. Lebron has exploited Durant and the entire Thunder's weakness, their defense. The Heat are being physical and aggressive, driving to the basket constantly.

The Thunder have 2 scorers. Durant who should be the one going off for 43, that is the only way the Thunder have a chance. Westbrook is not Derick Rose, he needs to realize that. Harden has disappeared and the Thunder have no one else for consistent offense.

The whole Thunder team, especially Ibaka, are sub par defenders. Durant is a lazy defender that has never had to guard a big physical player like Lebron, which is why you didn't see him guarding Lebron that much last night. Durant reaches on everything, especially when he gets beat. That is why he has been in foul trouble. To blame the refs for a 3-1 series is weak minded.

I'm not saying THAT'S why we lost!!!! I'm saying it's a large factor! If you can't see how the fouls calls have been in a huge favor of the heat! Then yall are retarded!
