NBA 2011

Thunder take Game 1. Durant with 36,8 and 4, LeBron 30, 9 and 4. Seems like Wade had a poor game by his standards and Westbrook had 27, 11 and 8 - probably the most important/pivotal man in this series in my opinion in terms of deciding who wins, crucially he only had 2 turnovers. Look forward to watching the replay when I get home.

Wade needs to lift. It's simple. Another below average game for him.

This could be a classic finals.

Thunder in 7 for me. Lebron will need to average 35-15 for the Heat to win.

Pretty good start, reckon you are on the money with those calls. lebron is gonna have to do something really special to get them home. OKC are a better team than Dallas was last year.

$25 to watch it all live on your computer, pretty good value.
 
Wade is playing with a knee injury he's gonna struggle all series...from what I've heard is he won't make the trip to London for the Olympics.
Lebron has been great in the playoffs, I'm usually his biggest critic but he cannot do much more for this team than what he has.
It's just unfortunate for Miami that Wade isn't 100% and Bosh needs more time to get back to his best.

I actually see Thunder getting up 4-2.
 
Spot on Jukes. Agree with all that.

Lebron has been epic all playoffs.
 
Game two is underway and Heat are on fire! They are up 25-8 with 3min left in the first quarter.

Wade finding something with 7 points so far to go with James who has 8.

Big comeback by OKC falls short.

Lebron played a big part in the last minutes, made a tough jump shot and finally 2 free throws with 7 seconds left to seal it. Might be on his way to greatness.

He's a hard guy not to like, speaks very well when interviewed.

Are you serious....he's probably the most hated player in the NBA, but that's due to the fact of how good he is amongst other things.
I couldn't believe that OKC almost snatched this, they shouldn't have got anywhere near it....Durant is ridiculous.
14 seconds left of the clock Thunder down by 2 and get the defensive rebound I thought they might snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for a moment there.
Good to see Bosh back in the starting 5.

Agree. Hoping he gets his ring and likely a finals MVP if they win.

Reckon the series tips in Miami's favour now with the finals format. Next 3 games in Miami. They should at worst be leading 3-2 going into the last 2 games.

I like him, like the way he presents and in every interview I've ever seen he never makes it all about himself, always about the team. Plus he's such an amazing athlete.

As Lleyton Hewitt once said - fans are morons.

Fantastic player Lebron, but the way he left Cleveland rubbed a lot of people the wrong way (tv special announcing his decision etc)
Then the Heat decided to do this...

People should just get over it. It's been a couple years now and it's sad people harp on about it as a reason for hating him. He's said he regrets how he left but can't do anything about it now.

He came off as a wanker and the Heat arrogant, even by US standards, only natural that they won't be liked as a result. Their own fault.
