OKC Lost the game in the 3qtr. Miami is doing a great job making their free throws. I am not a Lebron fan, However, he is playing well. He is making big shot's, and free throws. I say this is going 7.

[E90SoFlo]

KD is such a nice guy :P Hope he doesn't mind loosing.

This series is going to 7 though.

+1

can't believe OKC shot that poorly from the stripe...Durant goes to the line and misses 2?! wtf...and the officiating leaves a lot to be desired....KD's ghost foul on Wade?

[ejazbmw]

game 4-5 are gonna be really good. Miami should really try to close it out at home, would be pretty cool for the home fans since they lost at home last year lol

[mylydiamy]

From an article that I read today:

Dwyane Wade committed four turnovers in the fourth quarter alone, including another awful one as he took the ball upcourt in the final minutes. (A little heads-up, Dwyane: That Thabo Sefolosha fellow might look charming, but he is trying to pick your pocket.)

Unbelievable. Lebron needs to handle the ball in the 4th quarter. Wade have been Having subpar game the whole post season. But now he is turning the ballover in critical moments that nearly cost them the game twice. Wade needs to be traded.

no but because you always got some bullshit to say about the miami heat

[PhillyNate]

If OKC loses this series all the Miami fans should send Russell Westbrook a thank you note. He is killing those guys. HE IS NOT A POINT GUARD.

[Darth One]

lol, you guys are too hard on Wade. yes, he had some boneheaded turnovers that could have lost a couple of games. but washed up? trade him?? Wade to Miami is like Kobe to LA...not saying a trade couldn't happen, but very unlikely given that he IS the Heat franchise to so many fans down here

Wade is averaging about 23/5/5 with almost two steals and a block in the playoffs, and in the Finals. his turnovers in these playoffs are actually below his career average. i'm not arguing that he could have lost a couple of games for the Heat, but he won a couple of games in Indiana and at least one against Boston with late game heroics as well.

yeah, he's not scoring as much, but that's the sacrifice he's made to get Lebron into continual beast mode. also, his opponents know they can't completely sell out to stop Lebron, so they are all game planning specifically against him...and to his credit he isn't forcing things too much. what more could you want from him that doesn't ruin what the team is trying to accomplish? other than stopping the ill-timed turnovers, of course hehe

[335iheLLraiseR]

How about a poll?

The winner of game 4 wins the series.

a. True
b. False

It's his inefficiency that is killing him. Is 25 points in the victory in game 3 bad....no. Is 25 point on 22 shots bad....yes. Is 24 points in the victory in game 2 bad...no. Is 24 points on 20 shots bad...yes. Is 19 point in the loss in game 1 bad....not really. Is 19 points on 19 shots bad...yes. You get the point.

Your statement about heroics.....that's been my problem with him through some points in this playoffs. In game 3 he tried to be a hero in the 4th quater and in led to turnovers. Wade has been there before, he knows what it takes to win a ring, and that is why for now I hold him at a higher level then anybody else. He has no excuse to be slipping now, especially in the final stretches of games.

sooo Ibaka calling out LBJ on his defensive capabilities. really? not helping OKC's cause Serge.........at all. what's the next level up from beastmode?

[gary88]

KD has his car shipped on away games? Would he even have time to drive that thing.

Lol at Ibaka. He just doesn't want Lebron to steal his defensive title next year.

OKC needs more sh*t talker. I want to see Wade go off like after the Indiana series.

heat in 5.

he is indeed shooting a lower percentage. I won't argue that. I'm disagreeing more with the people saying he's washed up and/or a liability to the Heat. he is letting the Thunder game plan him into a less efficient game, that's true. and he may even be hurt a little. but I like his aggression and refusal to stop attacking - that's helped his team more than it's hurt it, because he's supporting Lebron, getting fouled and putting pressure on the defense.

It blows my mind that he himself can't see what he's doing.

So supremely talented, yet takes terrible shots all the time. If Durant and Harden get 2-3 more shots each, and Westbook about 5 less, there'd be nearly perfect balance.
