NBA Playoffs 2012

KD is the best player in the NBA. This OKC team really are great to watch.

f**k, was intense, haven't been so pumped by a game since the NRL GF last year.

Yeah I agree.

It was a nice touch after the game finished that Timmy was the first to go over and huge KD and have a chat to him, TD is a champion bloke.

 

[Nth-Qld-Raider]

So proud of this team right now, I admit the tears were about to flow, might hold that until we actually win this thing.

Hard to see either Miami or Boston keeping up with OKC over a 7 game series.

Boston will probably find themselves worn down like the Spurs were and the Heat simply don't have the options beyond Wade/Lebron to cover OKC on either side of the ball.

They've been a team on the rise, but these playoffs they've gone to another level. It's been awesome to watch.

Oh, and how awesome was KD during the post game interview? Just won a championship, 3 scoring titles and the guy has so much humility about him.

Watching that down the pub with no sound but man, there were some very ordinary calls against the Spurs in that fourth quarter (off the top of my head Duncan's illegal screen, Manu's fifth, Jackson's T), but ultimately the Spurs got tight and Thunder hit their shots and manned up on D. As I said, they were only ever going to win this by playing D and sure enough, since the first two games, their D has been much improved. Well done to the Thunder. Can't see either Boston or Miami winning 4 games out of 7 against the Thunder but having said that, stranger things have happened.

Championship? You mean the Western conference right?

Just got home and saw ESPN with Kenny Smith presenting the trophy I swear he was about to say San Antonio :lol:

And lol @ Durant is the best player in the world. I'd like to see him get 60 wins with the trash Lebron did it with. I'd like to see him get past the 1st round without the most talented team in the league.

Westbrook/Harden/Sefolosha/Ibaka/Perkins are the best #2-#6 players on any team in the league, by far. Westbrook has the talent to be a franchise player himself.

Their f**ken 6th man would be in the top 15 guards in the league, easily.

I'd like to see how far Durant leads them when a number of those 6 leave when it's time to get paid. What happened in 2011 ensured that no team will keep that much talent together for long.

Someone will offer Harden 15m a year, the others will get big offers too. They are ridiculously stacked for now but it won't last 3 years.

The thing is I like Durant a lot. He is fun to watch, seems like a great guy and is the second best player in the league. He ARGUABLY is better than Lebron in one department, scoring. Lebron is better in literally every other department. Passing, rebounding, defending. I'd like to see Durant shut down Derrick Rose in one series then shut down KG at times in another series like Lebron did in last years playoffs.

If the Heat get past the Celtics they're going to win.

If they win game 6 they will win game 7. If they win game 7 they will win in the finals.

Everything comes down to this next game. The future of the big 3 era, Spoelstras career, everything.

I'd like to see Lebrick shut down Jason Terry in a series lol

 

[Tiger Hawk]

And with that comment....Bunniesman has been SNAPPED

 

[HowHigh]

Feel like burning my Durant jersey....

 

[Aragorn]

Durant is only 23 and already a legend in his own right.

FMD if the go on to win the championship finals.

 

[Tanner Ave]

Durrant was nuts in that spurs game, HowHigh, its like a Jordan jersey, you cant burn it now matter what he does to your team cause no one can stop what he did.

Haha yeah I wouldn't
He's my non favourite spurs player and I enjoy the Thunder, great young team

Just pissed off for a few days with them and Durant

[abpanther]

Am i the only one who thought the reffing in the game today was absolutely ridiculous?

So much shit in this post.

Lebron has had more the enough opportunities by now with a great team surrounding him to win a championship, but the fact is Lebron just isn't a winner, his allergic to it.

Heard of luxury tax? Harden will be re-signed next season before he hits free agency just like Westbrook this season, he will probably get around 12 mill similar to what Ginobili is on. Can't see him leaving what he has at OKC.

Lebron a better rebounder? No, Durant leads his team in rebounding.

Heat aren't winning shit, they are losing to a Celtics team who are so old they don't even hold practice. Pierce and Allen are playing injured, they are missing Avery Bradley who was big for them, as well as Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Wilcox. If the Heat even somehow scrape past the Celtics, how could you possibly see them getting past the Thunder who would hold home court advantage in the series and are a much better team?
