*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

Considering who you picked to win the MVP, I think the Heat are in good hands.

 

If that's Miami's biggest problem, they'll sweep the series.

 

If the Heat can win one of these 2 games on road I think they win the series, if not?? OKC stand up.

 

You're delusional

 

Not an excuse, because in the end the officiating will even out. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that Miami has the least chance in game 1 of any of the road games. Teams coming off game 7s generally don't fare well in the subsequent game 1. I was just pointing out the obvious subconscious bias of the officials for tonight's game.

 

Russell Westbrook: 39.4% FG% last 10 games, 31.0% career vs MIA.

All smoke, no fire.

 

And harden? Both of them? Like I said......

 

There aren't going to be too many 100 pt games this series.

 

Read the post from Boik I originally quoted. You seem to not understand the context here.

 

No I dont.think u do... He said both will be on the floor...and chalmers.might not be able to hold them.

 

let's go Team, Lebron 3rd time is a charm! Gotta seize this dude,

 

I'm ok with that. I.don't think it will be high scoring. I don't think if those two guys go off that its not a problem

 

No, quite specifically, Boik said that when Harden and Westbrook are simultaneously on the floor, Chalmers will be able to handle neither.

First, that's sort of a silly thing to say, unless Chalmers has a clone, thus enabling him to cover two players simultaneously.
Second, Westbrook is not an insurmountable challenge just going by his averages. This has nothing to do with Chalmers, just a lot to do with the fact that Westbrook misses a lot of shots.
Lastly, Wade is going to be on Westbrook most of the time, making the point further moot.

I know you're an OKC fan, but seriously.

 

The Thunder do know that they can rebound their own shots, right?

 

Can't shoot very well? U do know wade is a whopping .0 percent.above.him and lebron is something like 6 in the playoffs. lol

 

OKC isn't going to win the series if the games are low scoring. They can't go stop for stop with Miami.

 

U view them as an offensive machine only. I disagree.

 

And they did that against 3 of the top 5 defenses in the league while OKC didn't go against any. The Thunder are about to get a taste of Eastern Conference basketball.

 

Need to keep the KD phantom calls coming.

 

U could say the same for the eastern conf offenses no?

 

PAC10 meets SEC

 

No because great defensive teams usually win the titles. The Thunder aren't bad defensively. They're above average. But that usually isn't good enough to win a title.

 

Depends how u counter it

 

When do the refs start doing work?

 

OKC looks like a team that has never been in the Finals so far.

 

Its a first in franchise history there

 

Second in sonics history

 

They don't deserve Seattle's accomplishments

 

That's such BS lol

 

This is BS

 

Then they shouldnt have left.

 

Lol.

 

Then they should have gone to games

 

Thats odd, James nearly got clotheslined and somehow got that call. That never happens.

 

lmao lebron took like 7 steps on that dunk I love it

 

Refs gon ref.

 

Just realized this. Westbrook looks like a smaller Cam Newton. Hes got the ears and everything

 

not sure we can beat the thunder if wade is going to stay playing like this again

 

seeing Wade casually jogging after Westbrook makes me with Bron would slap him.
