Seriously, a guy choked who after picking up his fifth foul with 10:30 minutes to play went on a tear scoring 16 points in the remaining time?!?!?!! Get the hell out of here with that biased LeBron pole smoking BS comment KT.....

Westbrook went 10-24 (42%) in Game 1, 10-26 (39%) in Game 2.

Durant went 12-20 (60%) in Game 1, 12-22 (55%) in Game 2.

It might be a good idea to get the ball to the best scorer in the game more often. Way too much bad decision-making from Westbrook on the floor in this series.

& this is a foul is a foul if I've ever seen one.

I'd also like to give LBJ props for knocking down those two FT's though.

People who blame game 2 on the refs are pathetic. The Thunder lost because they were down 20-5 to start the game, not because of one missed call. I will bet any amount of money that if the teams had been in opposite situations (the Heat losing and Lebron taking the shot, KD fouling him) at the end no one would be b*tching about the missed call. Let's not forget KD is lucky he didn't pick up his 6th foul when they called the blocking foul on Battier. Could've easily gone the other way as a charge. But people don't like to talk about that.

LeBron may hit that shot, but he bricks the 3 KD hit before it 9/10 times. LeBron may be better all around but KD is more clutch & a better scorer.

I'll give it to LeBron though. He played phenominal & I'd argue that was the biggest game of his career. He played great.

Remember when Lebron hit that huge 3 to take Boston into OT during the ECF? The Heat still lost that game, so no one talks about it. BUT....KD did it and it's now a clutch shot. Lebron has had one of the best post-season performances in recent playoff history (maybe one of the best of all time) when you consider the entire playoffs so far. Yet, I hear more complaining about him not being clutch than giving him props for what he's doing right now.

One more thingI think is funny about these finals and the Lebron hate; before the series started, all I heard people say was that the Thunder were the deeper and all around better team. But if the Heat do go on to win the series, I can guarantee that the "they're unfairly stacked" argument will come out in full force.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
