The Heat role players have been huge tonight, and Lebron has 12 assists helping them along. After his fourth quarter breather, look for Lebron to try and seal up the game by attacking the basket the rest of the way.

Unless of course the Thunder continue to leave shooters wide open on the arc.

Man, Thunder aren't getting any calls. Of course, when you're complaining to the refs twice every play, you're not going to help yourself. Thunder will learn in time.

 

[IAteYourMother]

And there are some make up calls

 

[HendrixFan]

Harden fouls Lebron while Lebron is pulling the "Harden" move of showing the ball. Funny stuff.

 

[NeoV]

Harden simply can't cover James - they need to put someone else on him

Westbrook wasn't fouled on that shot - he really needs to stop crying after every single miss.

Should be a fun 4th quarter - loving this series, regardless of who wins.

 

[Retro Rob]

OKC look kinda over-matched by the Heat's stars right now, as expected.

Yeah, they will have a shot next year and if will learn from this.

Honestly, when 2 stars run and join the same team with another star (added - the backlog of ring chasers), you gonna beat some people.

Anyone not expecting a series win by the Heat is delusional, at best.

 

[Attic]

Officiating clearly favoring the heat.

Hope it goes 7, love the matchup.

 

[Kobota]

how is it possible durant only has 1 rebound?

 

[vi edit]

Hardin is having a horrible night.

 

[IAteYourMother]

Harden is not having a good game, WOW.

Harden is not having a good game, WOW.

What a change in momentum that was.

I have not seen OKC play this badly for this long since they became bonafide contenders.

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with them. And, no - it's not the Heat.

 

[vi edit]

What a change in momentum that was.

He's had at least 3 gimme threes missed, a missed dunk, and a couple layups that rolled out. Not to mention some terrible passes that ended up as turn overs.

 

[IAteYourMother]

And now James is just throwing up shitty jumpers over and over

 

[vi edit]

Russel Westbrook....welcome to the finals!

 

[NeoV]

yup - get LeBron back in the post - not sure why he/they get away from this in the 4th quarter...

Via - it's not like they are getting blown out!

 

[AznAnarchy99]

These games have been amazingly close. I was in Vegas this past weekend and wanted to put a bet on Saturday. Vegas had the Heat to -4 on Saturday. Waaay too close for my blood.

 

[HendrixFan]

And now James is just throwing up shitty jumpers over and over

Indeed. Time for the Heat to get back to attacking the rim, and for Lebron to set up in the post.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Bad play by Fish IMO.

 

[Jeeebus]

Uh oh

 

[vi edit]

Hmmmm...James getting helped off court. Hopefully just cramping.

 

[purbeast0]

if the heat win tonight, wonder if OKC fans are going to blame the loss on the refs instead of OKC losing a 17pt lead.

 

[her209]

Did that "shit"-bomb dropped by James make it on national TV?

 

[purbeast0]

Did that "shit"-bomb dropped by James make it on national TV?

yup, there was one earlier in the game too. it's funny because you hear them try to bleep it out by cutting the sound out, but it was a tad too late - same thing that happened earlier lol.

 

[vi edit]

Has Bosh's name even been mentioned in the 2nd half?

Edit...there you go.
