the losing team of this series is going to get phil. lol

 

[Elite]

hmm

Never going to happen, Phil was making 10+M with the Lakers. He's not coming back for half/a third of what he used to make.

 

[.infamous]

Yea and I dont think he would want to go to okc because he wouldn't be in control of everything.

 

[buzzy]

anyone notice? AAA was packed before tip off. nice to see.

 

[elcheato]

The fact that that has to be pointed out is quite sad.

 

[.infamous]

I guess the thunder have a verbal agreement with this russian pf named Andrey Vorontsevich. never heard of him

 

[Pugz]

no way okc gets phil. like BC said dude was making a shit ton of money. that little bit wont get him there.

 

[buzzy]

I read them, always get a good chuckle

Saying that Durant got set (I'm assuming he was talking about the LeBron play near the end of the game) is hilarious. I saw it in live motion that he didn't get set, I saw it in the replay that he didn't get set, and JVG and Mike Breen both agreed that he didn't get set.

I don't think it was a charge, but I have seen similar plays called a charge in the NBA, so I don't know that to tell you.

Miami has no shot in this series though, right guys?

They were in this exact same spot last year I wouldn't get too confident.

 

[RipCity32]

Cause their position last season has some sort of relevance to this seasons series.

 

[Elite]

False, they were not in this same exact spot last year. Yeah, they were up 2-1, but they were playing 2 more games in Dallas after going up 2-1. Now they have two more at home.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The obvious point is that a Miami fan getting confident over a 2-1 lead is stupid because they blew the exact same lead in the Finals last year.

It's an example to explain why BC shouldn't get overconfident...

So you're right, it's tougher. If they manage to lose 1 of the next 2, they don't have the opportunity to close the series on their home floor, instead they'd have to close it in arguably the toughest arena to play in in the league.

Yeah I really don't get what was so difficult about that haha.

It's not tougher, I fully expect them to not have go back to OKC

I thought the arm extension from Lebron was worse thnan Hardens "blocking" foul.

But you can't call that at that time.

Man I was SCREAMING about the arm extension. Like wtf is that? LeBron does that more than anyone else and it's so effective because he's bigger and stronger than everyone. He was initiating the contact and moving Harden off his spot yet Harden gets called for a foul? IMO should've been on LeBron or no call.

I know I shouldn't nitpick at that one call but there were plenty other hugely questionable calls that put the Thunder at a disadvantage. They weren't getting the same benefit in OKC

 

[RipCity32]

CC makes it seem inevitable that the Heat blow this 2-1 lead, just because they did last year.

:thanks:

No, I'm just saying there's no reason for any Heat fan to be overconfident at all.
