OKC didn't choke. Thy played their hearts out and got beat by a better team.

The Thunder will be back. Trust me.

No they didn't choke tonight. Last game was a "choke" by settling for bad shots and then Dirk going off on OKC. Thunder fought to the end and were only beat by how the ball bounced on a few loose rebounds.

I hope you're right. Just seeing them blow that lead was rough.

BigDofBA · 05-26-11, 12:29 AM

People throw around the term choke way to often. Last time I checked, Dallas was favored in the series weren't they?

OKC could have easily given up after the game 4 loss bought they played their hearts out tonight. Dallas was simply the better team. As an OKC fan, I'm proud of this team and excited about the future.

Durant is only 22. How good is he going to be when he puts on about 10-15 lbs of muscle and feels out his frame a little bit?

Westbrook is only 21. His decision making and game management skills will improve. The guy has only been a point guard for two years.

Harden is only 22. I saw him improve drastically during the season. Same with Ibaka who is 21.

This Thunder team was damn good this year and they have plenty of room for an improvement. There is so much upside with them it's ridiculous. Dallas is a really good team with a ton of good veterans and a superstar in Dirk. The Lakers didn't even challenge them where as OKC how late leads in the final two games and won at Dallas.

There is no shame in the Thunder losing in the Western Conference finals to a veteran team like Dallas.

rockaflocka · 05-26-11, 06:14 PM

Like the 30 units bulls ML, how big on the spread?

rockaflocka · 05-26-11, 06:15 PM

Also GG what do you think of the prop bet Miami wins series 4-2 +140 ? Seems like it has alot of value still

"Miami was already the #2 seed in the East when they weren't at full strength. How good are they going to be with Haslem and Miller on the floor and contributing? Evidence from the past few games suggest that Miami is on the verge of playing their very best basketball in this current regime. The pieces are in place. They've just defeated the best defense in basketball three games in a row!
Well, maybe they now possess the best defense in basketball, as well as some of the greatest scoring threats of all time. There was a long delay before Miami started playing at a level many expected from the get-go. With their current 11-3 romp through Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago, we may now be looking at a unit that really could go 70-12 in the regular season (or better!).
They haven't won anything that matters yet. They haven't even won the Eastern Conference yet, though that's in reach tonight in Chicago...
GAME FIVE: MIAMI at CHICAGO
Miami leads 3-1
Vegas Line: Chicago by 3, total of 180
Chicago was -2 at home in the first two games of the series, and is not getting respect from the market as a #1 seed in a must-win situation. It's been awhile since they played like a team who should be favored over Miami though. And, that series opening win was keyed by a 10 of 21 effort on three-pointers. Can Chicago do THAT again?
The total has settled in at the 180 range give or take a point each game. Actual scoreboard sums have been 185 (with 13 combined treys), 160, 181, and 170 in regulation. The flow of the series suggests 180 might be a touch high. But, it's already such a low number that there' s not much margin for error in terms of made treys, zealous officiating, or another overtime."

rockaflocka · 05-26-11, 06:31 PM

He alluded to it in the MLB thread- nothing official yet

lucky888gunz · 05-26-11, 06:43 PM

Thanks rocka

king9isback · 05-26-11, 08:44 PM

the fade is on..Heat ML plus Heat 2nd half -0.5. 25 stars jesus christ what a chase, very desperate. he could hit every single play tonight and still be down 50* in the last week in nba playoffs

i advise anyone with bulls action to hedge it out and book your win now

Love The Action · 05-26-11, 08:51 PM

Brass balls or no brains? I think brass balls. Good luck GG.

goldengreek · 05-26-11, 09:56 PM

[COLOR=#000000 !important]Bulls will win.. But these Refs are a JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!

Since when does the road team get to the line 2 x's as much as the home team in 3 fuking games Refs single handedly kept Mimai in the game.. 10 points for Miami from the free throw line in the first 4 mins of the 4th quarter

Bulls have a bigger , stronger frontcourt and get punished

FUKING JOKE !!!!!!!![/COLOR]

lucky888gunz · 05-26-11, 10:02 PM

hope bullls come back to win the series. but these refs have me worried it wont happen.

paco · 05-26-11, 10:18 PM

Take a break man, ur colder than a witches pussy.
