    Did anyone see that post from ESPN on Facebook?

    "Who's going to win the 2012 NBA Championship... Miami or OKC?"

    I swear... I think I saw 1 Miami fan... everyone said OKC to win the Championship. That's not good for OKC fans... who have money on the series. I believe there were like... 50,000 posts???

    Could anyone imagine a team like OKC being coached by the ZEN MASTER? Phil Jackson? Wow. The team would be unstoppable... better than the Bulls in the Jordan era.

    Durant standing out 30 feet from the rim and Westbrook forced to shoot a shot they didn't want.

    The refs should be in the MVP for the Heat if they win.

    The bullshit non call on Durant in game 2 and there were too many bad calls against Thunder to count this game.

    Sefolosha hit in head on that and 1 by Wade, pretty hard, and they call nothing? Refs have hit a low.

    Long way to go but Heat Series +240 looks like a good bet right now.

    What will Game 4 line be?

    It was a hard foul. Elbow in ribs = hard foul. You ever shot a basketball with an elbow of a 260 pound man stabbing into your ribs?

    Because books gambled on this series with their own money before the series started. All books and public took OKC to win series, and they've witnessed Miami lose 3 straight after being up 2-1 last year.

    1) That's a tough call to make in the final seconds. Hitting your ribs doesn't really affect a floater in where Durant elevated and Lebron stayed on the ground. Durant's arms were not touched on the release. If James jumped with him a foul probably would have been called but because Durant got a clear look at the rim, it wasn't called. Besides, MIA won wire-to-wire. They would have had 1 final possession as well and played better the entire game.

    2) Sefalosha is not gonna get that call in the final seconds against a Hall of Famer. Bro that's just how sports work. Jordan. The Brady tuck rule. Phantom penalties for key soccer players.

    I think they opened -5 for that game but regardless. Goat is kind of right here. I would agree that books gambled a bit with OKC and continue to like them. Then again I said from the getgo that i thought books were overpricing OKC and going to end up collecting on juice and lots of OKC money in general.

    Durant can get a shot up at any time because of his length and agility. But Durant is not the best player in the world. Durant himself said Lebron is better 3 weeks ago. Lebron defensively can shut down Durant for a 2 minute stretch. No one else has that ability. Wait til Durant gains 15 pounds--he will truly be unguardable.

    All I have been saying for 2 years now about KD. He can't expect to stand 30 feet from the rim and be able to score on Lebron. OKC needs to constantly be setting screens for him just so he can get it closer and hopefully use a quick first step unless they double him.

    You have to admit though. Durant is straight butter bro. He can drill 25 footers in Lebron's eye all day if he's feelin it. He has to put on some muscle like you said though or find more efficient ways to get the ball inside the 3 line. I don't think I've ever seen a player quite like Durant. He's ridiculously talented. OKC needs to give him the ball more. His efficiency is incredible thus far in the playoffs as far as % and Points Per Shot Attempt.

    Yea I mean I've never said he wasn't a great player. He is obviously a great talent and one day he will probably be pretty much unstoppable. All I have done is try to point out his flaws because all I ever see is everyone in love with him.

    Is Brooks going to wise up and put Sef on Lebron? We all want to see James and Durant go at it but it's not a smart move for OKC and we are now to Game 4 and Brooks still hasn't made the proper adjustments.

    Sefalosha will start on Wade and will guard Lebron for some key stretches. Brooks keeps allowing Harden to guard Lebron for certain stretches which has absolutely buried the Thunder. I can't say what Brooks is going to do, but if I'm coaching, I'm putting Sefalosha on Lebron midway through the first and allowing Durant to guard either Chalmers or Wade. If he guards DW he just has to make sure not to go for the pump fake. His length alone (while he is on the ground, no jumping) is enough to contest Wade's pullup if he decides to go for it.

    The main thing in my opinion is Ibaka. He is getting abused in this series. Yeah he's had some nice blocks but he can't recover to the 3 points line and Battier/James Jones etc have torched him in the first 3 games. all he wants to do is chill in the paint. Plus, if you show up the ball, he goes flying in the air everytime. It's so easy to fake out Ibaka.

    That's because Ibaka has zero basketball IQ.

    Wade is overdoing it with the shot fakes. It works like once every ten times. He's starting to remind me a bit of Pierce as he got older because he's trying to be more crafty and deceptive. He is still very explosive but he's obviously been hindered by the knee and he's trying to find other ways to produce.
