    Nothing is LeBron's fault anymore.

    It's all on Westbrook now. AIDS, world hunger etc.

    Any time you keep the Thunder under 90 you have to feel good about yourself. Durant going to the bench in the third really seemed to break their rhythm up. I think they are going to have to move him off James.

    OKC did not lose because of any calls, they lost because they are all about 23 years old, and only Durant is consistent.

    Oh...and because the bald guy keeps nailing 3's...no. Not Lebron, Battier.

    when you said bald guy I thought you meant fisher dude is hitting fade away rainbows and hes like 40. This game came down to the young thunder getting shook on the road should be a good learning experience for them going forward.

    The comments on ESPN.com are hilarious.

    "The NBA is not real"
    "If the Heat win a championship, Seattle will have a parade too"
    "Beard = flop, cut it off"
    "This game was horribly officiated, LeBron gets so many garbage calls…"
    "Miami will not shoot 38% again - probably lower…"
    "Everyone knows all the big market teams get the officiating"
    "The refs should take credit, Durant got two fouls that weren't fouls"
    "I think I'm going to be sick…"
    "Hey Miami fans, if you win the finals give the refs some rings too!!!!!!!"
    "Durant is the black Dirk, all he does is shoot jumpshots"
    "OKC vs Spurs was exciting, this series looks like @#%!"
    "Spoelstra just has the team run isos. plus he has that slimy smile and slow loris eyes…"
    "RIGGED!"
    "Refs 2, OKC 1, Miami 0"
    "Heat still suck"
    "Fact: Stern only goes to Miami games, WTF?"
    "I'm not a Thunder fan, but wow, the refs don't want anyone to guard LeBron"

    -prepare for a make up gm from the Ref's
    -Joey Crawford will be getting a ring as well

    Have to worry a bit about DWade, he normally is really consistent, we'd be sunk w/o Battier stepping up.

    Yeah whatever mang! If a Heat fan says anything remotely close to what you did and it's stop crying about the refs, or wow, the game is 3 days away and a Heat fan is setting it up so he can blame the refs.....

    We've seen this motive long long time ago ....

    LOL at the ******s, I mean Haters.
    If the Heat lose its because Lebron is not clutch. If the Heat win its because the refs scores every point for them(nevermind the fact that OKC went 4 minutes in the 4th w/o scoring a point, never mind that they blew a 10 point lead and didnt go for the kill when they could have, nevermind that Scott Brooks made a great adjustment at the half and went away from it)

    And never mind the missed free throws. That couldn't possibly have anything to do with it.

    If you would have told me before this game that Miami would hit 5 shots outside of the paint and shoot 37% from the field, I'd tell you that we're about to get stomped.

    Pretty incredible.

    Free Throws.....

    Games are literally won and lost because of them....IMO the single most important factor in basketball...

    Two games away, fellas. Two games. It's gonna be tough and we should probably expect a loss Thursday night. I do worry about our energy levels against this young team as these games and the series wear on. Bron and Wade have quite a burden on them. And Wade's leg is a problem. We're better than last year. LeBron is clearly better than last year. But he did tire as the series went on, against an older team.

    That said, we tended to panic and grip in crisis last year. That adds stress. Per Chris Bosh, there is no panic this year. Only healthy desperation and confident focus.

    I'm really not worried about Lebron wearing down. He is obviously on a mission and Spo's been giving him some rest the last couple.

    Wade is another matter. He's not himself. He can do it in little bursts but it is inconsistent an not always there. I think what we will get from him is a real wildcard night to night.

    I'd say Harden was another solid reason they lost too. Dude looked like he was trying to help Miami on purpose.

    The one thing I will say though is at least he's driving the paint more often. Last series Wade was taking fall away jumpers like they were going out of style, he's driving the lane more and more which is positive.

    Wade had a slight issue with handling the ball but his energy was very high last night. I thought he played an aggressive game and was excellent especially in the beginning of the game. He was driving the lane and finding open teammates. We don't win this game without him.

    Wade's game was underrated last night. Most people look at his 5 TO's and his 8-22 shooting. I look at his aggression. His inefficiency came because of HIM. Not an injury. It was his choices offensively.

    Doyel is a clown. We all knew that, but the whining about officiating last night is completely off base.

    The Heat shot 11 more free throws than OKC. That is a fact. however, 7 of them came on the two 3 point shots (which nobody is arguing were not fouls) and the Scott Brooks technical. Outside of those 3 plays, where the Heat piled up alot of FTs quickly, the Heat shot only 4 more FT than OKC despite living in the pain the entire night.

    For all the talk of Durant's 4th, I'm still waiting for video of Haslem's "offensive foul" that broke up the momentum of an 8-0 run that was leading to a blowout. Plus, I find it very hard to believe that all those times the Heat got to the paint there were no fouls.

    Last note on officiating: LeBron James- 8, FTs, Kendrick Perkins-6, James Harden-7. Nuff said.
    Oh and Wade had 11, one was the technical and 2 were intentional at the end. So that's 8 "earned" for Wade.
