I think Heat will take this one if Ibaka & Harden doesn't play up to their standards.

Off-Topic:

I know I'm late on this train, but I saw SAS and Skip doing pregame during the shootaround. Has anybody ever paid attention to Skip's body language and facial expressions when he's listening to someone talk? I'm convinced he drinks heavily before doing anything TV-related. Thoughts?

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

It was a pretty good half though

OKC needs to learn how to pace themselves.. they have quite a motor and can keep going, but jumping out in a lead and hoping Miami can't keep up is a half bad strategy

Looks like KD is just pouting if he cant get to the rim.. dude keep being agressive

Eh, as a guy that grew up playing basketball at about 5'9" and 140 pounds, I have respect for guys that are willing to step in and take charges on guys they have no chance blocking.

Yea, but the big men should be going up for the block, not taking charges.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Which big men have been taking charges for the Heat? They don't really have a big man.

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

Missed the 1st half unfortunately but DukeC(please change your name so I don't have to type that god awful word anymore lol)how Westbrook look in the 1st half?

He had a phenomenal 1st half (outside of a few rushed shots, around 3-4) and he and Collison are the only reason OKC is winning right now.

Westbrook has 18 points on 9-15 shooting and Collison has 8 points.

Lebron has been keeping Miami in it with a statline of 10, 6, and 8 and 6 of those 8 assists were for 3 pointers.

Edit: Would you kindly donate for me then ?

OKC 49 MIA 46.

Only Ibaka and Anthony (who gets no burn) are the real shot blockers on both teams. I'd like Perk to turn into a mid-90's version of Charles Oakley and start laying the wood every now and then. He's not going to block many shots, but he can fit that enforcer role well. Dude looks like an Indian chief.

Whenever I see Norris Cole I start rapping the fresh prince of bel-air theme song on impulse.

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

IMO

Im getting sick of NBA players spamming the charge calls

Its enough of seeing guys get low bridged all of the time to the point big men dont even go for blocks anymore

If Zo and Ewing and Dream and D Robinson did that crap we wouldve called them all softees

The refs cosntantly call a charge on that play even when there is barely any contact!! WTF? It drives me insane.

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

Weak sauce on the foul call.

[Equinox831]

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

Westbrook is taking terrible shots.. The refs are terrible this game, that should've been a no call.

[Sinner]

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

changed from KD to Russ? How about no foul at all?

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

If I was a Thunder fan, I'd be livid at the officiating. Since I am only a fan of basketball, I'm disappointed. All I ask for is consistency.

[slimm44]

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

Ticky-tack on KD. This is getting absurd.

[DukeC]

Re: ****2012 NBA FINALS DISCUSSION THREAD****

Jeesus Bosh was trying to take ANOTHER charge.

Just pull up from midrange Durant.

Edit: They don't call that hedge on Bosh? OK.
