He injured it facepalming after missing all those shots

Wow I guess somebody's real sensitive.

Your absolutely right your entitled to your opinion and yes the refs sometimes make questionable calls which is really frustrating but the reality is OKC is the Bigger Team height wise and they are being outrebounded and their 6th man who is largely responsible for them getting this far is playing like the 11th man and that one game where they uncharacteristically missed a lot of free throws are the reason they are in this position.

That being said OKC has accomplished a lot this year getting to this point and literally being a couple of possessions away from winning the games that they lost so they have earned a lot of respect so maybe they will continue to build on that next year.

Here we go! Hoping Miami takes it & players like Westbrook & Harden will learn the Finals eat you up & spit you out.

Harden flopped again & got called for offensive foul.
BTW, three huge 3's for Miami!

Edit* Harden flops again. How do you get hit in the face with a elbow to the chest? Even the announcers said the NBA is going to get on that.

Wow. For a team to reach the Finals & let someone just walk up to the 3 point line and shoot?
That was just turrible. [/Barkley]'

GET out of here Harden. Wade was already sliding on the floor & Harden just falls over him.
Edit* MILLER! James!

I really am curious to hear what Perkins will say after the Finals are over about his team because he's been the only Thunder player criticizing Brooks & saying they're not doing enough.

Then again, he's got a ring so he's probably going to be right.

So some first half take aways:

1. Harden flops on 90% of the fouls he gets... I officially hate that guy.

2. Westbrook going 2 for 9 from the field is terrible.

3. Mike Miller going huge tonight.... may very well be his last game of his career.

Yep, Russell showing he's a hot/cold player. Durant doesn't seem to be really taking control yet, either.

And Miller's last? Really? He's only 32. He's still got a couple years left in him.

Yea, he was telling the team that they might have to win because this might be his last. I guess the back pain was just too much but just trying to make a difference and say he was on that championship team.

I thought Manu was bad... not after watching this guy.

No way that Russell will come out play like game 4.

Durant will only show up in 4th Quarter...

Miller said that he wants to retire.

Hmm, that's a shame about Miller then. At least this would be a great way to leave the game with big plays, & a ring.

Fuuuuuck. I thought my Mavs were good at downtown 3's, but Miami just spitting in OKC's face with them.

Hmm... that was just a hard foul on Bron by Fish and not a flagrant.

Edit: Jesus.. nothing can stop Bron... talk about "Witness".

I agree. Shame he picked up another foul right after it.

Miami wants this.

You're done OKC. Westbrook is playing too cold, Harden flopping, Perkins at 5 fouls, and no one else, not even Durant is showing up.

Looks like OKC has just decided to bend over. Wonder how far into the 4th they're gonna sit all the starters...

^ Even if they're down 30+? I think they'll get sat at the 5 minute mark if so. OKC that is, not the heat.

either way they are out. i would think the starters would rather foul out than get benched at the last game of the season.
