    Like either team will have a real player foul out. This is the WWE... err, NBA!

    I can't make LeBron's head explode psychically. It's disappointing.

    This outcome is a testimony to jlprk. He is all man...all man. The great man ventured far out on a limb in his daring prediction but emerged from the thorn bush smelling like a rose.

    Damn...

    That was clearly a foul on LeBron.

    I guess he's not allowed to foul out.

    Bad call. But Durant should not have been in the game-- Battier blocking foul was bullshit.

    What a game, though.

    OKC starting slow finally bit them in the ass. They can't spot Miami an 18-2 run and miss 7 FT's and expect to win. I still think they are the better team but they need to come out and go blow for blow with Miami if they want to go up 2-1. Durant was fouled on that last play 3x as well.

    Durant went up for the shot and Battier was still moving

    The defender must be set before the offensive player goes up for the shot

    I kept waiting for a last second goaltending call to save the day for OKC - clearly the refs are against them! Conspiracy!

    And I don't know how the ref didn't call a foul on LeBron on that last possession.

    Also, another thing I hate about OKC. "Loud City"

    Hmmm........

    the dumbass fans obviously had no idea what's up. obviously low basketball IQ as a fanbase. I suspect their fanbase is a bunch of people from tract housing/mcmansions who don't know shit about hoops but sure do holler real loud.

    that happens in Portland, the refs would need security to leave the building.

    that is what you get with a franchise that is only 4 years old. they don't know shit.

    They're going to not be "loud city" real quick once this team is broken up, they'll be a reincarnation of New Orleans the second this team reaches the lower ranks of the NBA, no way should a team have ever relocated there, let alone steal a franchise from Seattle. You can't tell me there would be fewer fans and less hysteria should Seattle be representing this current team.

    I pledge very little allegiance towards Seattle, but fuck with the NW and you're going to be fucking with me, inbred dust collectors be damned.

    I'm finding myself routing for LeBron, not so much Dwayne (my mother can't spell real well) Wade, god that guy is an ass. LeBron deserves a championship at some point, yes he is the real deal, yes he was an ass, but he's carrying himself much better these days and it's come to the point that I'll forgive him before Clay Bennett. Seattle had a fine arena, they still have a fine arena, especially considering that many of the arenas these days can't find corporate sponsors to support luxury suites. I still see very little reasoning to them needing a new arena to support a team, let alone a winning one such as this Thunder team.

    I don't know how an official is going to call that a foul on the last play by Lebron, there wasn't one with an angle to actually see how bad of a miss call that was. I won't feel sorry no matter how many missed calls OKC. If the refs called Perkins/Ilbaka for moving screens and illegal picks they would both be out of the game in less then 2m each. They play like they learned from KG(Perks did and it seems like ilbaka learned from him).

    Posting up LeBron is making all the difference.
