2012 NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Miami Heat

[AccIdPEx]

The Miami Heat is too talented, they can win three straight [wishful thinking].

Off topic:
Bigla ko lang naalala yung UE against DLSU nung natalo sa Game 1 sa Finals after ma-sweep ang elimination. Sabi ata nung coach, nanalo kami ng 14 straight, kaya namin ulit manalo ng 2 straight. Ayun, DLSU nag-champion.

[Blackphoenix]

Go Miami! Sana magchampion na tayo this year..

[dakilangungaz]

babawi ang mga ref sa monday ...

hindi siguro, stern control the series

[calvinzero]

In the OKC team history this season(esp. playoffs), sa huling talo nila vs. Spurs talagang bumabawi sila in terms of attacking points.

In Game 3, 20-pt. margin (vs Spurs). Napansin ko umaatake sila via fastbreak, hindi sila masyadong dumedepende sa jumpshot. Its purely defense coming from a loss.

On Monday, I can see the Thunder will be more desperate to win. In Game 3, baka sumentro ang defense nila kina Battier, Chalmers and maybe Miller( he is not yet explode in the last i think 5 games).

Honestly, tama ang sinasabi ni Boom Gonzales at TJ Manotoc na lucky ang panalo ng Heat.

2012?? e di si Pittman

[Riddikulus]

Ipilit nalang nateng PF minsan si KD!

[parokyano]

Si Adonis Haslem sa amin.. btw alam ako Udonis first name niya..

[karlo_12]

nice, bumalik na ang explosiveness, shooting at followthrough ni wade.. malaking bagay yun, maganda rin yung rebounding at inside scoring ni bosh kahit 12? and 12 lang ang output nya.. at least lumalaban sya kay ibaka at perkins. si LeBron nawala na ang pagiging choker nya, i believe tuloy tuloy na ito.. 30 points 2 straight games sa road pa nya ginawa what more nasa teritoryo na nila.. impressive din ang supporting cast ng team, props to haslem, chalmers and battier

lol, walang kwentang point guards ang naglalaban, yung isang sure shot hall of famer point guard ayun
nagbabakasyon na
magandang laban itong series na ito, mahihirapan talaga tambakan ng todo ang okc dahil nandyaan si westbrook, durant at harden na kaya pumutok everytime.. if HEAT really wants to win this
dapat first quarter pa lang tambakan na ng todo, tapos turn up the intensity sa 2nd half..

pero i still predict na close fights ang next 3 games, take it one game at a time lang.. malaking bagay ang naagaw natin ang series

At the start of the season meron dito nag sabi na secret weapon ng Heat si Eddie Curry.

May naniniwala pala sa dalawang yan? Sa sobrang bias ng mga yan pati score binabaligtad eh. 5points pa lamang ng heat sa 4th quarter tapos nakatres si Durant sabi ba naman lamang na ng 2points OKC. Hanep!

kung magchampion pala heat sampal sa muka ng knicks organization ang pagtrade nila kay curry.

Bynum wasn't an All-Star Caliber bigman during those two title runs. He didn't even finish games (Odom did)

[almostthere]

OKC needs to break out of their habit of starting games slowly. With the talent level that James and even an old, broken down Wade has, it will be impossible for them to complete three second-half comebacks in the next 5 games. Now is not the time to coast.

[AccIdPEx]

Lamang pala sa poll ang OKC..

[the_BuGs]

medyo basa na ang laro ng OKC eh.. para silang diesel na slow start pagdating sa 3rd and 4th duon na babawi...... sa tingin ko duon nabasa na ni Coach SPO ang trend ng OKC.. lalamangan ng malaki then pagdatings sa fourth kelangan lamang pa rin sila ng by 10 pts to slow them..... since Dallas-Lakers-Spurs against OKC, pagdating sa 4th, it's either tied na ang score or lamang na ng 1 or 2 pts....so etong game 2... MIA still strong pa rin hangang last minute....

OKC's big starting 5 just doesn't match up well with Miami's small ball. It's only in the 2nd half where they usually play Ibaka/Collison at 5 and KD at 4 where their offense matches up better.

[dudelebowski]

westbrook tends to play hero ball. there's no question that he can score, but come on, when you have kevin durant all you have to do as a pg is to find him in his sweet spots instead of jacking up shots that almost always leads to points at the other end. KD is an assassin, westbrook kills only his team's momentum.

KD should assert himself more and tell his mother fu ccking sidekick who's the man in OKC.

if westbrook is playing as the main man of a lottery team like the wizards, he will be out of control and taking 35-40 shots a game.

Durant just doesn't have that Alpha-male personality that most superstars have.

But those big men were actually low post threats. Bosh is not

[the_BuGs]

without that 17 point lead, siguro 2-0 na, that lead and some stops is enough for the Heat to win Game 2. If the Heat will get the first half for the whole series and the Thunder get the second half, it is mandatory for the Heat to get a double digit lead coming in to the second half, if not, Thunder will outrun them and win the game.

1:48 1,2,3 PENlS ba talaga ang sinabi nila? Nabasa ko lang sa comments sa youtube.

eto na naman tayo kung wala yang 17 pts. lead na yan etc ek ek na kung ano pa... parang post sa boston kung paano walang OT nung game 2....eh mga at di lumamang ang MIA.. putek ... anong klaseng mga analogy yan... at lang masasabi ko lang... basketball yan... talo ka... natambakan ka nuong una.. breaks of the game so deal with iy ...pampalubag loob pang nalalaman....kung talo... TALO!

SIbaka should have been an all-star because he is the league's top shot blocker in the 2011-12 season
