I used to think Bron was a much better basketball player in comparison to the league at-large. Clearly he is still a stellar artist of the physical form, and a member of basketball's athletic elite, but for whatever reason, his game has changed since he arrived in Miami.
He has no fire left in his eyes, no excitement for the game outwardly, and he is visibly in his head during games; you can just see in his face the psychological and emotional impact of his decisions. Wade too seems to me like he doesn't play the same since Bron came along.
When you want something to go one way so badly, and it turns a sharp corner like that on you, it must really suck to have to live with regret on such a large scale every day of your life in front of millions of people who hate you because you just wanted a better opportunity for yourself.

Not much to talk about right now outside of Westbrook being incredibly overrated and too full of himself. I dont think he realizes he's not the best player on that team.
OKC has a deeper team with their bench players, but Miami's big 3 are canceling all of that out while Westbrook jacks up tons of bring all night.
Next game is almost a must win for OKC because if they go down 3-1 it wont be very easy to come back from that against the Heat who are clicking right now.

I dont know why Lebron gets so much 4th qtr flack. He was pretty damn good down the stretch of games when he was in Cleveland. I remember seeing him hit tons of game winners and thrashing better teams than the Cavs were at the end of games.
Then he goes to a new team, happens to stink it up in the Finals, was not very clutch when he needed to be in the 4th quater for 1 series, and suddenly this guy cant finish games? Seems like this all started with that, and you cant get down too hard on him. He didnt know what he was doing there last year. They've figured it out now.

and wade's been struggling all series plus huuuuge back to back 4th quarter mistakes and nobody's says anything

Wade's been playing well, just not up to his potential, and he is dealing with a knee injury. If he were 100% like he was about a month ago, yeah they would be absolutely thrashing the Thunder.
The Thunder are a rock solid team, but I think Westerboke is a serious problem. He thinks he's as good as Durant, and I do think that team is capable of winning this series, but it has to be put on the REAL stars shoulders to do it, and he can do it, but Westbroke is not allowing him to. He wants so badly to be a part of why they win, and is not nearly as efficent of a scorer as Durant is, so he is really hurting them right now.
- < last year against the mavs they went out just because of his selfishnessloool

Huge night in SoCal for basketball tonight! Lakers vs. Clippers.
Kobe has three games in a row with 40 points or more and the Clippers are trying to come up with the most talent ever in a Clippers squad. Look for very physical game.

Heat v. Pacers game 1 was laid-back-cruise-control mode for Miami. I think this series will be okay in 4 games.
Can we get to the Heat v Thunder final already??
- CygnusZero40
Thunder look too young and too fast for the Heat. My guess is they get this in 6 games.
- brandelec0
Heat will sweep Indiana even without Bosh.
OKC have a good chance of sweeping Lakers. Too fast, too many weapons.
Boston/Atlanta will be a battle to game 7 - loving this series.
- true that. i'm a lakers fan, but they fuckin' dominated game 1.doesnotexist
