That flop from Bosh was pathetic.

[bantx]

SEFO! lockem down

[Smooth Criminal]

What a ridiculous finish this is setting up to be. Wow.

[WCH]

The Thunder should just play the entire game pretending they're in the last 5:00.

[Smooth Criminal]

Is there anything worse in sports than the ending of a basketball game when both teams have plenty of timeouts? Timeout free throws timeout. Horrible tv

[Notredameleo]

Smart play Harden...

[Smooth Criminal]

Well there's a pretty terrible foul. Fitting ending for OKCs performance tonight.

[Notredameleo]

Thats pretty fitting.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

This series is going to be Miami in 5, OKC is too young for this, they can't handle the pressure. Harden as been AWFUL for 2 of the 3 games this series. Guys like Ibaka and Perkins are invisible in the 2nd half.

[WCH]

I think that the Heat are going to win the series at this point, and I think that LeBron James is still the best player in the NBA, but holy crap is Kevin Durant going to take over in the next couple of years. If you're still waiting for "the next Jordan" then Durant is the guy you've been waiting for.

[bantx]

I grow tired of hearing about the next Jordan. Not going to happen.

Me too. It's never going to happen, but the talk won't stop, so I stopped fighting it about seven years ago.

Durant gets no respect from the refs. Wade gets a bunch of phantom calls but Durant gets nothing.

can't believe we're about to see Miami win the ship.

I'm guessing a lot of casual fans will stop watching basketball.

I mean, isn't Durant one of the most fouled players in the NBA? And LeBron didn't get a ton of calls either.

I didn't say anything about Lebron. But there were a lot of 50/50s that Durant could have benefited from. Yes, he is one of the most fouled in the regular seasonbut in the finals, I can think of several times he could've got a call but didn't. It's not me complaining about the refs favoring Miami though just that Durant should be respected more in these finals.

[yodapoop]

A. Easy on the Heat are winning this thing. We are in the exact same spot as last year...the Heat are up 2-1 and two wins away. Their weakness is closing games, and also closing series.

Secondly, I just wish one *******, ONE ******* ONE, that is all I ask, game of the Heat could go on without any1 bitching about the ******* refs. Its ******* annoying and good ******* night.

I don't really understand this line of thinking.

Wow ...

Much?

[yodapoop]

Free Throw Attempts during the regular season

LeBron 502, Durant 501...

MAN Durant needs some more ******* respect...

[LTgiants]

Ya cause bitching about people bitching really helps the situation. Seriously yoda there is nothing you can say that is going to stop people from bitching about the Heat. Especially when the Heat seem to go to the FT line more then any other team.

Its getting ******* ludacris. Its every ******* game the Heat win, even if its by 33 ******* points. Yeah, we go to the line more. There were six free throws in there cuz the Thunder made stupid fouls while the Heat were shooting threes and they had to foul at the end of the game a few times. So yeah, we went to the line and we go the line more. Superstars get calls, if this is news to u, WOW, u are ******* blind.

[Brodeur]

Shut the **** up about the refs, it wasn't egregiously bad. Again, where was this during OKC/SAS in the third and fourth quarters of that game six? That was far worse than any of the officiating in this series.

Pretty sure the FT's have been pretty damn even this entire series. Thunder got to the line plenty, they just sucked it up at the line and that is why they lost.

Even though I dislike the Heat part of me wants them to win just because I hate everyone acting so absurdly stupid after every game they play. I would love to see the Thunder win (even though Harden is becoming a player I genuinely hate) but it's funny how biased people are and only see what they want.

The Thunder lost because they were the inferior team this game.
