He never said "not zero", so we can't rule out that he intends to never be a champion

I had the Thunder in 5 before game 1. They just match-up so well with a Heat team that is soft inside. The Thunder don't have a dominant big-man scorer but their guys are active, can pass and most importantly defend the paint well.

Westbrook has speed that can't be matched, he can breakdown whoever is on him.

I don' think the LeBron era is ever going to start....

Go CAVS!

Thunder in 5? man thats a big call! I hope that can happen!
But I'm thinking its likely going to go to a six or seven game series, with the championship going either way

This would be a fairy tale season for OKC if they do win it... bring on the Thunder Era!

and my free dinner! hhehehe
i told u man KD gonna conquer all!

Some of you guys are just going for your favourites.

I understand Sefolosha's beastly defense and Westbrook's Speed, but you have to remember, there is NO ONE other than Sefolosha that can guard LeBron, If Sefolosha guards LeBron, then you just have to wait for Dwyane Wade to hit his stride.

I'm no Heat fan, but I do love to watch them play, Hell, I like ot watch all teams play besides the Bucks and the Bobcats :D
I'm actually a Phoenix suppporter (Don't laugh), but I do think, If Dwyane Wade hits his stride, the game is over, you can;t guard both and if Heat's Raptor can keep a low post threat, I'm sure the Heat can take this, just don't let the Thunder get streakY!!

It will be interesting to see If they start Chris Bosh this game or if they're going to leave him coming off the bench.

Supposedly he is going to start

So the Heat took game 2 today. the Thunder started off the first quarter with 1-for-12 shooting and trailed 2-18 early in the game. the Heat led 55-43 at half. The early deficit cost the Thunders with them outsocring the Heat in all quaters except for the first.

The two key factors i thought about this series was how well both team can hustle for rebounds and limitting their turnovers. Thunders did well in game 1 but today they trailed in these hustle and muscle stats: Heat out-rebounded the thunder 40-36, outscored in the paint 48-32, played even in second chance points 12-12 and only lead one points in fast-break points 11-10.

Overall the two man, KD and Lebron again played pretty even in terms of stats, but Lebron got the help this time from Wade (24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 20-for-10 shooting) and Bosh (16 points and 15 rebounds including 7 from the offensive end). Although the Thunders also have the other two men of Westbrook scoring 27 points 8 rebounds and 7 assits and Harden for 21 points on 7-for-11 shooting, the team had no one else scoring in double figures. The difference here was Shane Battier who shot 6-for-8, 5-for-7 beyond the arc nailing down 17 points in continuation of his hot shooting in Game 1.

Game 3 on Sunday @South Florida, Miami.

Both Durant and Lebron surprised me tonight.

Instead of attempting to hit the tying basket on the buzzer leaving Miami no time to win it in regulation, Durant went up immediately. He ends up missing, and even if he makes it Miami still would've had the ball with 9 seconds left.

And then Lebron actually makes his free throws in the clutch :P.

12-12 FT tonight for LeBron

he had the shot..at close range..why give it up and risk not getting quite as clean a look?

and ps lebron fouled him he should have got two free throws.
