  Why has Brooks been so stubborn with his matchups? Try someone else on LeBron dumbass. Perkins can't play this series, Miami doesn't play a true 5....etc.
• karen lotz

  

  Leave him in until he misses it fouls out. Fuck it.

  Harden is taking over the title of best flopper in this series.
  
  Stand up and play the damn game dude.

  That's my point. OKC has honestly never really been a threat. They've been shrinking under the pressure of the Finals. Not ready yet.
  
  I think the Spurs would have given Miami a much better Finals run because of their skill AND experience. This series hasn't been as interesting as I thought it'd be.

  58% shooting is just crazy.
• chicago510

  

  These don't even look like the same 2 teams as in game 1.

  When Perkins is in the game it's 4-on-5. He can't score, he's not a threat to shoot, and he can't guard anybody that is getting game time for Miami.

  I agree, OKC has played young. They were just the sexy pick because they can score so easily at times. I said before the series that OKC was a much better match up for Miami, SA would have been able to slow the game down and control tempo, OKC can't. Wonder where all those people are who said," doesn't matter who comes out of the east, the teams from the west will blow them off the floor". So many people claimed that the eastern teams were no where near that of the West and it didn't matter if Miami made the finals, well they play hard D in the East, it's a different style of basketball.

  You can not let Duke boy take you to the hole.
• Midstate01

  

  KD taken to the hole by batter??? Comeon man!
• Tiger2003

  

  Get Perkins out of the damn game.
• chicago510

  

  Fuckin Perkins just foul out already

  Embarrassing. It took him nine seconds to get by him.
• robj55

  

  Did Battier really take Durant off the dribble? smh

  When did the heat turn into the 09 magic?

  Lol that was the slowest drive to the basket ever.

  Yes but after thinking about it, not much KD could do with 2 fouls..But then again KD should never Dukie take him like that.

  You cant say that for sure. I understand what you're saying but a big part of Miami's game is grabbing rebounds and taking off. They often force you to play fast paced game. SA would probably slow the tempo a bit but Miami would still run.
  
  If SA couldnt slow down OKC what makes you think they could slow down Miami?

  They would of had a better chance of doing that, is what I should have said. Also for as good of a coach that Scott Brooks is, Coach Pop may be the best in all of sports.
• hoops23

  

  I don't think Scott Brooks is all that great.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  Brooks has def been out coached this series, way to slow to make adjustments. Never thought I'd say Spolestra outcoached anyone.
• robj55

  

  Battier missed that, but that was an amazing pass

  I disagree generally, but this finals its hard to argue against.
• ironman02

  Somehow OKC is still in the game. Feels like they should be down at least 20.
