BradyFan81 404 Posted June 12, 2012 I really hope LeBron and Durant guard each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 12, 2012 ^highly doubt it happens... the heat might get Battier to guard Durant for the majority of the game to keep LBJ fresher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blotsfan 2,112 Posted June 13, 2012 LeBron will guard durant but if Durant guards Lebron, he will get eaten alive. I'd put ibaka on Lebron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos 2,847 Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) OKC had an absolutely brilliant second-half defensive effort. Durant and Westbrook scored more points than the entirety of the Heat team in the second. Great comeback, and that was without Harden being on his A-game, fortunately Collinson stepped up big-time. I'd love to see a Thunder sweep.

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 13, 2012 I seriously think OKC could sweep Miami. Spo really just played 6 guys in this game. Like really? They have no shot if they don't figure out how to beat that defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bucman 891 Posted June 13, 2012 If you replace Lebron James with Michael Jordan on this team and its good game. They would've swept teams all the way to the finals. He averaged 33.6 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 48%fg percentage, and 80 percent ft % in the finals. Whats Lebron average? O yeah, MJ never had anyone on the level of Wade to play with, yeah he had Pippen, but Wade is better. Than you throw in Bosh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funnygunny 521 Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Jordan had Pippen, Grant, Armstrong and Cartwright for the 93 three-peat. Dream Team. Then he had Pippen, Rodman, Harper, Longley and the best 6th man Kukoc for the 98 three-peat. Teams win championships, not players. Can we not compare Jordan to Lebron now? Jordan is obviously better but wow, why is Lebron always compared to him. Edited June 13, 2012 by funnygunny 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Phailadelphia Posted June 13, 2012 1. Westbrook was great. 2. Durant was even better. 3. Nick Collison. 4. Thabo Sefolosha. 5. Scott Brooks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56AceInDaPlace 110 Posted June 13, 2012 One thing Miami cannot guard is PGs. Westbrook was a main reason why they kept scoring in the second half. He attacked but then passed it when the D stepped up. When he plays like that, there isnt a possible way for Miami to control the Thunder. KD did his thing but Westbrook NEEDS to continue to play like he did that second half. When he does that offense is pure fucking scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wade continued to struggle and it hurt them again in this game. BTW, Westbrook did have a solid game, but after he made the layup and got T'ed up is exactly why everyone hates him. He makes a lay up and the team is still down 7 and he is acting like a fucking baffoon. It truly is amazing how different him and Durant are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseR21 4 Posted June 13, 2012 Westbrook could also be the key if the Thunder win or not. Wade continues to struggle, but if Westbrook keeps doing the dumb shit he does then the Thunder could risk losing. I've never really paid any attention to his game, but I've noticed he takes a lot of shots. That's bad for a team because he can single handedly shoot his team out of a game.

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 13, 2012 Really interesting interactive map showing where both teams hit their shots from last night: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/06/11/sports/basketball/nba-shot-analysis.html Apparently the only thing NBA players can do is dunk and hit threes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What size are you? They just throw a bunch of larges on the chairs, there aren't different sizes. But yeah, if you can manage to snag an extra one for me that'd be sick.

Most coaches and players tend to agree that the 13-20 footer (mid range) is the worst shot in basketball to take. Only time you ever really see a guy intentionally take a midrange jump shot is when they are natural shooters (Durant, KG) or they are acurate from that area (Westbrook). A lot of coaches tend to not coach up players to take mid range jump shots unless they are confident it will go in. That's why I laugh so hard when people say things like "player X sucks because he doesn't have a midrange jump shot." When some of you the best players in the NBA don't even have a consistent mid range game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd probably give him $20 for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
