Re: NBA playoffs
matchup wise id assume lebron gives Durant some trouble with his strength/speed meaning hell have to rely heavily on jumpers, which he can make. Wade id assume will guard westbrook, which i dont think well go quite as well for him. Bosh should be able to do what Tim Duncan couldnt and draw Perkins out and hit jumpers. Harden will be guarded by Battier and may be a bit of the x factor that determines the outcome. Should be a good series but i have to give the advantage to OKC but just barely. Id be surprised if this series goes less than 6 either way.

Re: NBA playoffs
Looking forward to this series starting tonight. My two keys to the entire series is bench play and transition defense. OKC gets the edge in bench play. There are no two better players in transition than Wade and Lebron, If they get out in space forget it. OKC must absolutely play stellar transition defense and limit Miami's fast break opportunities.

Got a feeling Heat will take game one and OKC will settle down and take game two

Never count OKC out at home! Great second half.

Re: NBA playoffs
The most startling statistic I learned from last night? Lebron James totaled 18 4th quarters points in last year's NBA finals. Durant scored 17 4th quarter points in his first NBA finals game.
OKC was just too athletic for Miami.

Re: NBA playoffs
durant scored 17, lebron scored 7, i get that. however that doesnt mean he disappeared, that means he averaged 28-32 points for the game, which hes done the entire playoffs and season. hes consistent, his teammates are not. he took 5 in the first, 7 in the second and 6 in each the last 2, while his points were 4, 10, 9, 7. in other words about as consistent as expected and in no way defined as disappearing. Want to knock him for not scoring 17, ok, but you cant knock him for being inconsistent, which you are by saying his game lessens in the 4th, which just isnt true.
