Winning game 2 is a must now for Miami but their role players stepping up and them still losing isn't a good sign.

Didnt watch the game, just seen the box score.

Who was marking Westbrook?

Wade didn't do his job and they needed to get Bosh involved offensively a lot earlier in the 4th.

They were switching between Wade, Chalmers and LeBron. It was working in the first half but Westbrrok is a disgustingly streaky player.

Some dinosaur looking youth

OKC got screwed by the refs at the end
Can't be starting down 18-2 in a finals game though

Battier >>>>>>>>>

Other than the big 3, he's gonna be crucial in winning the championship.

First time in the 2012 play-offs the Thunder have lost on their home court.

EA · 15th June '12, 08:23 AM

That game was way too close down the stretch. Glad to see Wade score throughout the entire game 'cause he's gonna have to play like his usual self if Miami want to win the championship.

now we have to win our 3 home games then we have that ring!

durant is the best scorer in the nba imo. he hits 3s and jump shots whenever he wants to

**Papinades_** · 17th June '12, 01:55 PM

Game 2 was almost like Game 1 but this time OKC couldn't pull it off. Both teams have alot to worry IMO. Miami have been guilty of given up big leads and OKC have been poor in the first halfs. These teams are so evenly matched though. Great games

The media have been killing Westbrook. Magic Johnson said he's the worst PG he's ever seen in a NBA final. Westbrook says he doesn't care and will continue to shoot bricks like Kobe...as a Miami Heat fan, I hope he does

hopefully he turns the ball over more aswell. hopefully battier keeps it up, who would of thought he would be so important offensively after barely scoring in the pacers and celtics series

**Tony Starks** · 18th June '12, 02:56 AM

OKC really should have won tonight. Westbrook was up and down again. Missed FTs more than anything cost them and some strange calls got KD in foul trouble from the 2nd quarter.

EA · 18th June '12, 03:15 AM

Miami finishing strong is a good sign. I have a feeling they'll wrap this up is 6, 5 if they win game 4.

**kilik** · 18th June '12, 09:49 PM

2-1 bitches

okc looked depressed after aswell, they choked in the 4th

think we could wrap this up 4-1

**R.dot.Tubbs** · 18th June '12, 10:59 PM

Dont think we should count OKC out just yet, yeah 4-1 is possible...but OKC are still a very good side, especially at home. However, I still believe Miami are gonna win this (god willing).

I think this season & post season have been a prime example of why LeBron DESERVES a ring. It's been a long time coming and I'm hoping he (and the heat) can see it through to the result he deserves.

**kilik** · 18th June '12, 11:02 PM

yeah you can see how hungry he is for it. hes been getting destroyed by the media for a whole year and just wants to shut everyone up. okc are strong but as we still have two more home games i think we should win this

**kiev123** · 20th June '12, 03:51 AM

Westbrook kept them in the game only to give it away with that stupid foul. OKC have shown their inexperience down the stretch in these games but it's a learning curve I suppose.
The title is all but Miami's now. Can't see them losing 3 on the trot. The roleplayers have stepped up when needed this series.

**Tony Starks** · 20th June '12, 04:16 AM

Harden was so poor tonight and Chalmers was excellent. Made a huge difference

Westbrook is so frustrating, he's an amazing athelete, put up strong numbers tonight but the last two games he's denied KD the chance to take hold of the game in the 4th and it cost them.
