I'm actually pretty surprised at the heat. I really thought chicago's bench would be the difference, by they've been throughly outplayed by the HEAT bench in all of their wins. Gibson had one good game, Asik got hurt, Ashton Kutcher can't hit a shot to save his life. At this rate they might as well play Kurt Thomas to rough some guys up, and maybe Sual can get hot (at least hotter than korver). Mike Miller w/ a +/- of like +36 or something? Usually I don't look too much at that, but he was playing all the crunchtime minutes.

Welcome back Mike Miller. Glad to see our key bench players are playing and improving. He should have kids more often because he hasn't slept much this week since his daughter was born. Another great OT for Miami. Glad to see our guys' confidence continue to grow late in games. @ Barkley sucks chants at the end of the game.

Wade, James, Bosh, Mike Miller, and Haslem is a super strong lineup. Haslem and Miller strong defenders and rebounders, and can hit the open shot.

I don't know if others will agree, but I was wondering why Kurt Thomas was not put in the game last night at the end of the 3rd quarter. Asik was playing with a injury so he got less minutes, Gibson wasn't playing too well. Kurt is known for his defense and his veteran experience.

Thunder have nothing to be ashamed about. Time's on their side, young as they are. Now that they have a real taste of the Playoffs, I can safely bet my CL-S that they'll dominate the West for the next 2-3 years. Spurs and Mavs will age another year, and I'm skeptical about LA's immediate success under Brown.

Bulls have only one real threat in the East, and they're playing that threat right now. Objectively speaking, I think they'll take one more win at home then fall in Miami.

OKC had a good season but in this series they were the Choklahoma Blunder. They will get better though and Thunder fans should be proud.

Thoughts on trading Westbrook for either Chris Paul or Williams? Thoughts? Personally, I don't think Westbrook is a good fit on OKC. I don't think he'll ever develop into a true PG and his heart and instinct is always to attack first. Not very easy to change. Chris Paul with Durrant would be a killer combo IMO.

OK, come to terms with the loss now and remaining positive. I know the series is somewhat similar to OKC vs. Dallas with regards to being at a 3-1 position. Major difference is that game 5 is going to be in Chicago. We need to score better, maintain the same defense, and have the bench come up big. Maybe we'll see Kurt Thomas today and have him make some outside jumpers off the pick and role. I'm sure most of you heard by now that Asik is out with a broken Fibula. If we win tonight, we'll go into Miami with the momentum and all the pressure on Miami. If we look at this one game at a time, it's certainly conceivable we can steal game 6 in Miami, and then win it all in game 7 in Chicago. If this doesn't happen, then go Dallas!

In the back of my mind, I would love to see Chicago come back & take the Eastern title so Miami could feel how we felt.

But, I'd also like us to be the ones to give that loss as well.

I agree either Paul or Williams would put OKC over the top and Westbrook should be a shooting guard he isn't a very effective point guard that has never been his position until the NBA .

I like your optimism but unfortunately this series is a forgone conclusion I wish Chicago would comeback I think its 99.999% unlikely because of the way they have played so far. The Bulls would not only have to play much better for 3 straight games they would need Miami to play worse and I can't see that happening for 3 games straight.

He gets mad rebounds though and I like his slashing style. He lost his cool against Terry though when drawing the T. OKC is so young they gained valuable experience and will content in the West for years to come. If they had a little more veteran savvy, it would have helped staunch the bleeding in their last 2 late game collapses. Next year I think if they start Harden at #2 that will be a competitive backcourt.
