One word: Harden.

What the hell is wrong with this guy?

The better team won tonight. If u can't execute u deserve 2 LOSE.

Harden did not play a good game tonight AT ALL but that doesnt necessarily mean Miami is better because their technically not.

Thunder is a very inexperienced team. This is there first time getting at the finals. I think Miami played smarter but if Harden was hot tonight... Miami would of have no mercy... Thunder gave them this game and the last game as far as Im concerned but some dumb calls were made.

Im rooting for Thunder because I dont like Miami but there not my favorite team, Spurs are

Miami still not showing me nothing for me to feed into the hoopla their just hanging in there. These all have been close games boo boo

The Finals often are - usually even. So I guess all of them have been "fixed".

Some calls should have been made that werent made on Miami and this goes for mostly all games regardless of the team in NBA.

An ENTIRE game isnt fixed but some aspects about the game are and everyone acting like some calls should not have been made on Miami tonight and calls that were made on Okl were ALL fair are bullshitting whether Thunder didnt hit any shots or not. Thats just something Im just pointing out.

Wade with that fake back injury is just plain embarrassing.

They ALL need Oscars for all the acting they do

This series is over. Where the fuck were OKC's role players, especially Harden? As much as I like Durant, he deserves some heat too.

Nothing Lebron does will satisfy the haters, but he is the best. Not even up for debate.

King James doesn't really flop but Wade is King flopper. Don't know if I've ever seen a player with his talent flopping like this. Flopping is reserved 4 scrubs....or it used 2 be. Tony Parker flops a lot also.

I agree but Harden can be directly blamed 4 this loss.

I thought OKC's talent, youth & speed would make up for their lack of experience. Guess I was wrong. They haven't felt the pain of losing a Finals like Miami has.

Oh please Miami end this thing. I thought the noise was worst last year.

Oh poor OKC. The officiating is keeping them from winning games.

What a joke!. I'm not a Heat fan either but i'm rooting for them so all

the LeBron critics can get off his back.

Yeah it look like it won't be long before Lebron finally has a ring. But of course folks are gonna be like "it may be a fluke". You know how folks are...

I have never seen TV commentators do any where near this much questioning of the calls. It's hilarious. They're saying things like, "I don't see a foul, do you?" over and over.....or "Durant didn't foul him.....wait, they're going to give the foul to Westbrook. Well, there is no contact at all with Westbrook...so maybe they should give the foul to someone else." Again, just hilarious. And you KNOW that if the commentators are saying stuff like that on the air, imagine what they are saying OFF the air!

Jeff Van Gundy complains about calls during the first game of the season.

Steve Javy is working for ESPN now and he was on this afternoon talking about the calls that both teams have been getting/not getting. He actually looked at all of them and found nothing wrong. He also explained how all plays are reviewed (again). I realize this won't matter to you because you believe the refs are "bad". Nothing anybody says is going to change your mind. So roll with it. At least you have an excuse when the team you picked loses.

Also, there is not a snowballs chance in hell that OKC wins this series and you know it. OKC in 7. P'shh.

Then what? All thirty times in the finals the team that has been up 3-1 has won the series. Same folks tryin' to tell me I was wrong about how teams had come back from 3-1 in the playoffs are now gonna claim a team can do it in the finals when it's never been done.

Oklahoma ain't coming back, they blew their chance a few games ago. I give them 50% to win the game tonight and they just might but like you said, how many teams ever get back from 1-3?

Finals is a different format. It's 2-3-2. If OKC can oull of a victory tonight, the next 2 are at home.

In the first 3 rounds it's harder cause while game 5 would have been in OKC, game six would be back in Miami.

If they win tonight, the pressure is on Miami more and more not to blow the lead for the first time ever.

32 times in the first three rounds of the playoffs a team has come back from being down 3-1.

ZERO times a team has come back from being down 3-1 in the finals.

OKC would have to win three games in a row, all of them under them most pressure any of those players will ever experience. Even if they win tonight, they're not taking the series.

Zero times it has happened, but the 2-3-2 format changes things up completely. Also, if Miami can beat OKC three times straight, I think OLC can flip it and win 3 straight. Hell, they beat the best team in the leage SAN ANTONIO 4 times straight.

I'll put more credence in the fact that they beat San Antonio four in a row than I will the 2-3-2 format. Plenty of other teams have been down 3-1 in the 2-3-2 format, none of them have won the series. However, San Antonio was clearly tired and just plain done, Miami is not. If anything, Miami is playing better as the series goes along, where OKC seems to be playing worse. I just don't think OKC is ready. They're a great team - they'll have another chance. Possibly next year unless something drastic changed in the West.

James Harden might be leavin. Probably thinkin of that phat contract he will get over the offseason, even with him playing horrible.

Oh please.... Lebron did that to him self and him winning a ring doesnt mean shit.

His still an arrogant tool and it was still fucked up how he left Cleaveland, he can get 20 rings its not changing how the public perceives his personality.

I am not an OKL fan.. I repeat I am not an OKL fan even though it would be nice if they win but Kevin and even Westbrooke to be so young appear to be more humble and likeable. Not that personalities matter overall in the NBA but they appear to be more maturer in handling their losses (ex. press conferences) which is why alot of people are rooting for them and ALSO they went through alot to get there, they beat some really really hard teams.. San Antonio, Dallas etc

If Miami does win tonight their not winning next year, or the year after that. you can choose to believe that or not, at least Lebron will have one ring to speak on, I still think OKL has a chance though but its not the end of the world if they don't win. I think next year they will do better after this year (being they have this new experience). They did exceptional for a rookie team, there nerves were a bit rattled in the final series though.

Why is it fucked up Lebron left Cleveland? He put a dead franchise back on the map, took a bunch of no-names to the Finals, and made millions for the owner. He decided he had enough and wanted to work somewhere else, just like any American. He doesn't owe Cleveland jackshit.

Too much silly hatin' going on.

Are you foreal?

Theres nothing wrong with Lebron leaving to another team NBA PLAYERS DO IT ALL THE TIME, even Jordan did it.

Thats not the issue, its HOW he did it and it was disrespectful how he left Cleveland, a team that groomed him and he first entered the NBA with. He didnt even TELL THE OWNER before doing that whole The Decision shit on national t.v. There is no hating in that mess. Lebron is an asshole and then last year he and Wade made fun of Nowitzi's injury acting ignorant.. PEOPLE LOOK AT THAT.. Nobody aint hatin on his ass.

ALSO, MIAMI WON A CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE LEBRON WAS ON MIAMI.. Miami was ALREADY a okay team before Lebron... What Championship DID CLEAVELAND win though???????

Lebon shoud have stayed on Cleaveland and built a team around him and even if he did still want to leave he could have left with some class...even Lebron fans say this.

And why you acting like LEBRON ALONE is why they made it to the finals, dude you crazy .. Lebron had alot of people around here helping him thats why he made it to the finals.. WADE especially.
