If the Heat keep going 8 deep, it will be over sooner then later.
Wade and James faded away in the 4th because they were tired.

What happen to the first team all defensive player on Durant? I am still baffled by this.

Battier stands NO CHANCE against KD. 

4th quarter points:

James: 7

Durant: 17

The ball started to stick not giving the roll players a chance to step up like the did to start the game. If guys other than Bron/Wade/Bosh had more than 6 points in the second half I would be absolutely shocked. 
Thunder just played better as a team. Russ didnt force anything and Durant was killing it. and they got help from their roll players when they needed it. Harden didnt even have a good game and they took this one easily.
I saw Bron get the ball at the top of the key multiple times in the 4th when the game was still close. He didn't look off his game at all. He either missed, made a bad pass, or made the shot and got fouled. Other than that I saw him take errant jumpers.

If anything Wade took shots cuz Bron was not being aggressive enough. Wade was out there matching what KD was trying to do. Bron aint attempt that at all.

I actually thought Bosh got too many minutes out there tonight.

He's become a liability on Defense the last 3 games he's played.

OKC applied the pressure and Miami crumbled

Probably why Lebron might need to check Westbrook

Durant is going to get his regardless

Those gifs have me dying. I remember watching that game where they zoomed right into Mitch's face. Seems like evert executive/gm that goes to these OKC games will have these salty zoom ins.

how so when outside of the 2nd quarter, lebron from a stat point amongst other things had his best quarter, while wade had his worst. Sounds clearly like hate to me. Wade wasnt trying to match KD. That doesnt even make sense. He was pretty much ice cold the entire game, so why keep shooting more jumpers. The only time he was effective, was when he was driving, if he so called wanted to match KD he should have gone with what was working and that was penetrating and drawing/looking to draw the file. Its like especially with wade they get away with what works for them and start playing hero ball (mostly wade again) 
  
 
Bron bron stepped up in the 4th again. Had plenty of help in this one so don't come with that.

Lebron is going to be Lebron, but D-Wade isn't the same superstar he used to be.

The Heat role players won't be able to pick up the slack.

I say all of that to say... I don't think this series will last too long.

I actually feel the same way!!!!

Lebron will be Lebron no matter what!! .... Even if Wade gets 25.....Bosh still doesnt look 100%...i just look at OKC and see a great Team!
  
 
Lebron guarding Perkins most of the game is inexcusable. U supposed to be the most versatile defender in the league and u r guarding one of the worst offensive players in the league for majority of the game. I'm not buying the conserving energy argument because that is the whole point of him teaming up with wade so they can both go 100 percent on both ends. Wade also needs to spend more time on Westbrook. Can't rely on chalmers and battier to do your dirty work.

I wasn't even gonna get at lebron for tonight's game due to the poor performances from wade and bosh but if Durant can guard u most of the game and still go off in the 4th u got no excuse.
 
Dudes in here not trying to give Kevin his credit.. Only mentioning Russ...
roll.gif
please... KD & Russ made it happen..

KD Dropped 17 points in the 4th.. and dudes refuse to mention him

This is going to be the first time Wade's "age" will show. A younger Dwyane Wade wouldn't have looked so gassed. The Thunder are so good in both transition and half-court, it truly is amazing that any of us, even myself considered, didn't see them as the hands down best team in the NBA.

LeBron James looked solid once again. I think a major issue with him is that while he might "shrink" in the 4th quarter, people fail to mention that his "shrinking" naturally causes the rest of his team to be basically useless.
 
Honestly didn't even see LeBron on Durant that much this game. A lot of Battier and Wade. When I did see LeBron on him, OKC ran some effective screens to force the switch and/or get Durant in motion.

He guarded Durant, Westbrook, Sefalosha, Perkins and Harden.

What are you talking about.
