Tough win and a tough loss for both teams... and what did Rondo do out there tonight? Scoring just 44 pts and played the entire 53 minutes of game time? That's all?! Haha!

OKC finally found a way to stop SA tonight...  Also, good to see there is a team that able to give the Spurs a fight...  Make the series more interesting...

Don't worry, the draft lottery is actually equally important!

The Celtics are back on track... for now. Then again, Mike Miller played great yet I am not sure if his back pain is going to allow him the same kind of performance in game 4, if he can play in it at all.

Now the Heat may get Bosh back in game 4... That's gonna be tough for the Celtics...

No, per ESPN, Bosh is still ruled out for Game 4. Even when he comes back, he would be off for several games, and his timing and conditioning could both be off.

As for tonight's Thunder / Spurs game 4. Wow! Both Durant and Ibaka have huge game, and there was not much the Spurs could've done, really. Durant scored like 13 pts in a row for the Thunder, on the Spurs, late in the 4th qtr... that was HUGE and EPIC! Basically it didn't matter who the Spurs put on KD, he just couldn't be stopped in the 4th qtr. Hmm... still though, I think the Spurs are in a better position to win this series.

I wasn't surprised that KD went nut in the 4th since he is the 3 times scoring champ.
I was more surprised about OKC's big men played out of their minds last night...  Hopefully they will do that again next 2-3 games... lol...
Now the series has really started...

It is more like it is now a series (2-2), since no road team has won a game yet.

They both are great teames at home so winning at home is not a surprise.  SA always have the advantage with home courts so it will never changed.  But, in order for OKC to win they have to win in SA and they ALMOST did it in Game 1 (even though "almost" doesn't do anything).  Don't get me wrong, I am always rooting for the Thunder even though I know Spurs is the better team overall.

And on the other side, the Heat and Celtics are now tied at 2-2. Wow! Game 4 was ugly, especially in OT, still a win is a win. They say Bosh is scheduled to return for game 5, but seriously, a guy has been off for almost 3 weeks, just how effective he will be? I just think his timing will be off and don't think Bosh can do much in game 5, but that's just me. Still, it looks like game 3 & 4 have given KG confident in his game again, and this could be bad news for the Heat!

kht

very likely, a 7-games series for Heat vs Celtics. Good series.

HighlanderZ

Wow! How three little games can change everything? OKC won @ SA? Could they do the seemingly impossible, and give the Spurs a "reverse sweep"? By that I mean being down 0-2 and winning 4 in a row to take the series.... did I say, WOW?! The last time to choke away a 2-0 series lead and lost the series was also the Spurs in 2004. How ironic if this should happen again.

OneBigBanana

And if I remember right Fisher was there too?!

HighlanderZ

回應 OneBigBanana #997 的帖子

Yes, you are correct. It was the same series in which Fisher made that famous buzzer beater with just 0.4 seconds left in game 5 @ SA. And then the Spurs basically never showed up in game 6. Hopefully they show more fight this time around.

OneBigBanana

Wow... Another crazy one that Celtics beat the Heat at Miami tonight...

No. it remind me of miami and dallas series in 2006..
dallas lead by 2-0 then miami win it all next.
damn. don't want to see this happen to my spurs.

HighlanderZ

@ bbzai5 c-hing, I was actually rooting for your Spurs, and still am. I too am surprised by how well and how clutch KD has gotten since game 3.

As for the ECF, wow! I couldn't believe the Celtics could pull it off in Miami. Another choke job by the Heat, and the ironic thing is I thought LBJ actually plays very well in this series! Still, with all said and done, the Celtics must still win game 6 in Boston. I sincerely do not think they have enough to win a game 7 in Miami. So it is either game 6 or go home for them. As strange as it is for me, I am pulling for the Celtics until the finish the Heat.
