All the thunder had to do was miss 15 shots or so. Very exciting times for thunder fans.

This is where the Buss lovefest goes under the microscope. Coach Rerun gets walking papers soon.

The past few nights I saw three guys that WANTED to take the last shot. One plays for the Lakers, one for OKC, and the other for Miami. None of them are named James.

He didn't want any part of shooting the ball in the finals last year either. He kept dishing the ball like it was a hand grenade.

Im surprised I havent seen Kobe's gaffe last night mentioned ANYWHERE. He threw a crybaby tantrum after Blake missed that three and in doing so cost his team a second/sec & a half on the clock. He shouldve went to foul, even if the buzzer sounded.

Kobe has been terrible at times this year (compared to his typical self). The tread on his tires is starting to show. I'm sure he will play but he should probably sit out the olympics this summer.

Kobe is the best contested jump shot maker in history. Unfortunately for him, that is about all he gets against good teams these days.

He had plenty of gaffes in the last 2 minutes. First, he threw the ball away for easy 2 for Durant. Then a pass went through his hands (not all his fault). The worse though was getting the ball with 14 seconds left and dribbling away 8 of it in no man's land when OKC had a FOUL TO GIVE. Waiting to take the last shot when trailing in the game is one of the worst statistical strategies possible. You basically give yourself one chance instead of 2 or even 3.

I'm not so sure he is any longer. He isn't playing like it.

He's not. Durant is better and has way more character.

Last nights foul shooting display was uncanny. Lakers 42 of 43 and Thunder 26 of 28.

Im almost in denial at this point. Hoping he steps up big this afternoon. I really want him 2.

Time to shock the world! #showyaluv


KG wouldnt know a fairweather fan if it bit him in his grey ******* hairs!!

LeBron is bitchmade. I don't know how anyone can argue that. That shot at the end of regulation was a microcosm of his entire late-game personality. He has a 6'1"/170 lb. guard on him talking sh it, daring him to win the game, and he backs away and badly misses a fallaway 20-footer at the buzzer. It's comical at this point how scared he plays under pressure.

KD is showing you how the game is played in the clutch tonight. NO FEAR!

I take it the game was called more fairly tonight?

Weird how that works....

You think it wasn't? I'm of course biased sometimes, but I don't think it was in the Thunder's favor by any stretch tonight. The numbers I'm sure don't say that.
