Same patterns in ECF and WCF；
2 games lead，then strike back！And win the critical game 5 (as visitor)...

HighlanderZ

Between the two teams being down 2-3, I think the Spurs have slightly a better chance in getting even in game 6. After all they are simply more experienced playing together, and deeper as a team than the Heat. The Heat are virtually a two-men team now with no one stepping up! WTH?

SA shot the light out in the 1st quarter, but OKC's young guns proved that they were ready and won game 6 at home... Wow... I am speechless...
Now, let's see how the East gonna play out...

Today I need to stay at office for OT. After I have finished work and check the score board. OKC advance to finals and finished off Spurs in style. At that moment, I LOST MY HEART BEAT. 中文就係"個心都實曬"

Let's be honest, the whole team is awesome for OKC. Eventhough I want TD to earn another ring but I have to respect OKC. Good job to them. It is a fair and square.

Sorry fellas, I don't have mood for NBA until the finals. I can't think and don't want to talk about it.
感覺有D似 Fisher's 0.4 second shot. 當堂無心機。

I am impressed by the Thunder! Wow! Not only did they come back from 0-2 and winning 4 in a row. They've beaten the defending champs in the Mavs, the Lakers and now the Spurs. I kind of now wish the Celtics meeting them in the Finals. It is just fitting for OKC to winning it by beating all 4 of these dominate teams to complete the changing of guards.

OKC really show they are a better team. they deserve the championship. and KD deserve the MVP. wish them all the best.

HighlanderZ

Let's see if the Celtics can finish off the Heat in about an hour.

Epic performance by LBJ, and I am NOT even a fan of his! I don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but didn't I say the Cs must show up and WIN game 6. IMHO, at Miami and if James just provides his series average + D-Wade just show up a little, I think the Celtics have zero chance in winning game 7!

OneBigBanana

The Celtics players might not show up in game 6 but couple of their fans did (low class)...
One threw the ball at DWade's head in the game, and then the other dumped beer on LeBron while he was walking off the court...
That's seriously low...

Agreed, some fans are the reasons why certain teams are so "hated", fair or not.

They all forget the huge brawl in 2004 at Palace of Auburn Hills

OneBigBanana

NBA fans, or most of us, got the wish that it will be OKC Thunder vs Miami Heats and KD vs LeBron in the Final...
Boston played like they were there there just because of luck, really bad, in the 2nd half. But, good for the Heats back to the Final again...

Celtics is playing well！
But 阿『戲王之王』Chris Bosh played extraordinary good！

HighlanderZ

Congrats to the Heat. Again, as much as I am not a LBJ fan, I must say he pretty much single handedly WON the ECF for the Heat. Instead of scoring huge like he used to, he was playing good D, timely stops, and timely assists. Also, Bosh might not be a super star, his offensive skills and abilities are way better than anyone else on the Heat not named James or Wade.

As for the Celtics... well, this is an old news I already said after game 5. They cannout expect to just show up and win game 6 at home. Also, if they don't win game 6 they would have ZERO chance in winning this series. Guess I am correct and I don't need to say much more on this.

OneBigBanana

The Celtics did play good in the first half but the 2nd half was bad imo...  Especially the starting of the 3rd, lost their lead right whichin a few mins if I remember correctly.  You could see that there were just out of gas from then on.  
Bosh was great, and it showed that he might the most important piece of the Heats' big 3.  Maybe not the best or most talented but most important.
Now, I really can't wait for Tuesday to come...  And of course, OKC OKC OKC OKC OKC OKC...  

HighlanderZ

At first the Celtics were doing ok in the second half, as we all expected the Heat would make a run. Then it all started to crack when LBJ suddenly decided to take the game over, and started driving to the hoop! The Cs' defend wasn't ready and didn't force him to take jumpers. A few drives to the hoops but James were all he needed to get himself going. And then Bosh made 3 key baskets in the 4th qtr when the Heat was only leading by one pt., and that pretty much sealed it for the Cs.

So in many ways you are correct, Bosh was the important piece for the Heat off the bench tonight; but don't discount LBJ's effort and those 4 3-ptrs by Battier as well.

OneBigBanana

Nah, the Heats will only go as far as LeBron carry them like Charles Barkley said.  I kind of agree with him on that even through D-Wade is carrying them sometime too.  So, I would never said anything as LeBron is not helping.  What I meant was, Bosh is the wild card and make the difference.  
It's almost like he is the Westbrook in OKC.  If he brings his A game then his team is gonna be hard to beat.  
Everybody knows LeBron and KD is more than able to carry their team, D-Wade and James Harden is able to chip in to help the team, but when Westbrook and Bosh play great then their teams are at a different level...

HighlanderZ

Maybe you misunderstood what I said, I basically agreed with most of what you said about the Heat and LBJ, and I added a bit of my opinion.

As for the match up between the Heat and Thunder. I think the Thunder still have a slight edge for:

1) Home court advantage
2) Slightly more rested
3) Relatively healthier
4) Overall more athletic and better bench than the Heat.

The Heat's best calling cards are going to be:
1) Forcing Thunder to commit more TOs. In the regular season the Thunder led the league in TOs at around 14/game.
2) Attack the hoops with LBJ and Wade. We all saw how well the Thunder can play against the Spurs, if or when they were forced to play the perimeter. If the Heat want a good chance, they need to find ways to not let it happening to them, and attack the hoops.

Prediction: Thunder in 6.

OneBigBanana

Nah, it's all good...
I once said that to a co-worker, if the Thunder play good they will beat everybody, but if they don't play good then they are not going to beat anybody...
