Yeah Rose going down really fucking sucked. Sad thing is next year is probably gonna be a wash for them as well with Rose's injury. CP3 is great and Griffin has unreal athleticism but that whole team flops way too much for my liking and Donald Sterling remains a piece of shit. I don't know if I could really root for them

It's a combination of my tendency to root for the underdog coupled with a hatred for the Lakers.

As a Cavs fan I am sorry to say I think the Heat are going to win it all.
Bosh is healthy now and the Thunder can't defend LeBron inside. This series hinges on what version of Westbrook shows up. If he tries to be the hero they can't beat the Heat.

What do you mean? Perkins, Collison and Ibaka will do as well against the Heat as anyone defensively. And if they put LeBron on Durant, Westbrook and Harden will go off. OKC can neutralize Wade with Sefalosha. Matchups and depth favor OKC.
OKC in 6. This team ran 4 against a team that won twenty in a row. The Heat beat the aging Celtics in 7 and would have been lucky to beat a healthy Chicago.
If you don't believe me, betting sites are setting it at OKC -167.

Durant is a better shooter than Lebron or Wade.
OKC is the deeper team.
I'm rooting for OKC.

Once again OKC only played with energy in the 2nd half. If they continue this trend the Heat will win the series. You can't spot a team as athletic as Miami 15+ point leads and expect to come back all of the time.

Perkins needs his minutes reduced. It's 4 on 5 on offense when he's in. One of the more overrated players in the league imo.

That's what the refs would like. That foul on Durant that got him his fourth was clearly on LeBron who charged. Play changed the entire third Q to Miami's advantage. Also the no-call on LeBron vs. Durant in game 2 was pathetic.

I don't know jack shit about basketball rules, but it seems to me that the difference between charging and blocking is something the refs make up on the fly. Durant got in front of Lebron, set his feet, and got run over. What made that a blocking foul and not a charge? _________________
