The Regime

Now that I think about it I'm surprised that OKC made it this far playing this style of basketball. Straight iso ball. This is a good learning experience for them, but I really think next year they need to actually run offensive sets. Durant also needs to develop a post game like Lebron did this year, or they need to get a big who can score in the post. If you look at all the teams that have won titles in the last decade they have all had legitimate post players (Duncan, Shaq, Dirk, Garnett) outside of maybe Detroit.

Scott Brooks=the worst coach in Finals history.

Harden is a piece of shit. How the [expletive] did we get lit up by this chump?

Fisher is a freakin tank lol.That should just be a blocking foul.

Hopefully Perkins sits the bench the rest of the way. I bet OKC makes a run here.

Sad thing is that the officiating up to this point has clearly favored the Thunder yet they find themselves down double digits.

Westbrook blatantly fouls Lebron to stop a transition bucket but no whistle. No need to be this generous to the Thunder lol.

Why the [expletive] does Lebron's mom kiss every player on the team?

Perkins is awful, he is getting way too many minutes in this series.

OKC is just playing wreckless. They are playing with no control when they are attacking the basket.

Chris Bosh is auditioning to be the next Kevin Garnett. Thunder need to finish around the rim. They also need to get it figured out on defense, too many mistakes resulting in open shots for Miami.

I swear if Westbrook took a step inside the three point line his field goal % would be higher. His three ball is super broke.

I guess Miami is just full of sharp shooters.

Lack of three point shooting really hurting the Thunder. Durant and Harden haven't shot particularly well, and outside of those two the only other option is Dequan Cook who hasn't even played this series. Floor spacing just isn't as good as Miami.

Thunder are finally getting some calls......surprising.

Have we been watching the same series? Durant isn't a good defender, but that doesn't mean you penalize him for the smallest of contact. Battier has been climbing all over Durant all series long and he has yet to get into foul trouble. That's just bullshit. As for Westbrook, I can think of atleast three separate occasions in the 4th quarter of game 4 where he was fouled but the whistle wasn't blown (on his attacks to the rim or jumpshots). Obviously you wouldn't complain about the officiating because it has been favoring you all series long. I just hope for some more consistency tonight. I would hate to see the Heat win the championship because of poor officiating.

Yeh I was on board with everything Nitro said up until that rape part, that's just uncalled for.

FT attempts don't speak the whole story. Durant is getting into foul trouble over ticky tack calls that aren't being called equally both ways. Westbrook often goes into the paint and just gets pinballed but those calls aren't being made. Also Battier has been getting away with way too much contact in this series. There's a difference between playing a guy physically and being a prick and just holding guys and flopping.

I hope the officiating is a little less biased tonight. Slim chances though.

What?

My bad on the typo. Portugal has just really dominated the ball. CZECH has really been defending all game and havent got any clean shots at the goal. Just complete domination from Portugal even though the score might not indicate it.

Hockey players get cramps? That's news to me. Even if they do they are probably no where as severe as basketball leg cramps.

I've been pulling for Portugal since the tourney started because of Renaldo(who is my fav player). Renaldo had atleast 5 golden opportunities in the first half but couldn't convert. But he made them pay in the second half off a nice header, his movement is just amazing.

How many of you have ever had leg cramps during an actual game? Probably not many of you I'm guessing. As a person who has had them on numerous occasions, I can tell you that they hurt really bad. You can usually walk them off, but most of time they linger and you basically can't jump off the floor at all. I hate Lebron as much as the next person but I'm not going to make judgements about his tolerance to pain. I thought it was pretty pathetic that the crowd was cheering him on as if he was coming back from a serious injury, but I give him props for gutting it out. I was really surprised that he even scored 5 points (even though the layup was point blank).
