Is it me, or is this becoming more common then mentioned or talked about. Just seems like there is a slope to their game, as if they backed off the arsenal just to pull it off at the end. Almost as if they mean to do this or they are playing around with their opponents X's and O's just to out smart them at the chess match. 
BTW, OKC defense finally knows what it's like for every other team when Harden drives with the left hand. They had no idea how to stop Manu, let alone discover he was a left-handed baller as well. Harden seems to have met his match there.

With any other previous game, maybe. But, Popovich was not happy at all & that's when they came back.

I am tellin you! 
That was a FLOPPIN ass pic n roll hit Rondo got...He was mad because the exact play before he didn't get the call and he stared down the ref, then he flopped his head and arms like a fish outta water in that pic n roll...My gawd they have to stop this Soap Opera shyt the players have started to a NEW level. It has always existed but now its extreme acting. And not for nothing...has anyone else found Tony Parker to be one of the best floppers? I been watching him for weeks now... Dude got acting classes from his Ex.

Why aren't the LeHeat up by 9123461294698127462187634821374621845721459214 points?

HEAT play better w/o Bosh. This goes back to watching them every time Spo sat Bosh down and left DW & LJ in. Sometimes it was even leaving one of them with Bosh. Just seems to run so much smoother with the 2 and supporting cast.

Conspiracies are abound!
Those were some of the most bullshit calls I've ever seen. I'm glad the commentators were calling that shit out too. Video evidence of the worst last night:

Video of why Durant wears #35 <--click the thingy
It's pretty hard to dislike this dude. As someone that grew up playing hockey and basketball, your coaches have a huge impact on how your game plays out. If you watch him after making free throws and 3s, he points to the sky afterward. I like to think he's saluting his coach. 
Kevin Durant wears the number 35 in honor of his childhood coach, Charles "Chucky" Craig. Craig was murdered at the age of 35 and Durant has worn that number ever since.

^^add to the fact that many of these players look to their coaches as father figures for one reason or another.
I didn't watch the vid, but I believe Kevin's father left him when he was very young....

It's an important number.
But, I realize I'll change this number to 12341234210 soon as they will win that many Titles very soon.

I'm Down Right Fierce!
Eh... no offense to Boston fans, but I don't see them beating Miami. Indiana had a better mismatch because of all that size in the front court. Boston has KG (who is still awesome) but otherwise not much else down low.
Spurs and THunder series though is going to be fun as hell to watch.

Well -- Not really. His % was horrible (8/20), but he did get 16 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists. If his team had made the shots he set up, we could have been looking at yet another triple double. The team as a whole just couldn't execute in the second half, and Wade's dazzling circus shots woke the Heat up. Ray and Paul are hurt enough to have their performances affected, but they won't admit it. No excuses mentality and all.

Up by 20, OKC came within' 10, & then SA decided they were done playing games.
I don't think San Antonio can sweep OKC, but I think they may very well take Game 3 or 4 of the series.
