Official 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Conference Finals: Warriors / Thunder | Cavs / Raptors

[pmatic]

Interesting. So you're saying Miami wasn't necessarily the better team in the finals, okc was just out coached and it cost them a title?

Was he instrumental in the development/non development of guys like KD/Russ/ibaka/harden/Jackson and others or would they have been who they are regardless?

I think people forget how competitive the Finals was that year despite the 4-1 series win.

Every game was close besides the last game. With a foul call and some lucky bounces, the Thunder could've been champs.

I dont know why dudes stay blaming harden. Sure he doesn't play defense every possession but he's the only one on the offensive end who can even create off the dribble on that team. If it wasn't for him the rockets would of lost by 40 last night even with the warriors not having steph curry

If you lose in 4 or 5, it really doesn't matter how close the games were.

It's been that way the entire season.

Perhaps Harden is to blame for not sharing the ball more. But look at who would be handling the ball otherwise.

For a young team going against prime LeBron, Wade and Bosh, I think it does. They were probably a year ahead of schedule getting to the Finals.

Congrats to Jamal Crawford for winning his third sixth man award.

Sounds like they were out coached more so than a victim of bad luck

what harden scores is irrelevant because of what he gives up on the other end. period....

OKC is hard to watch. You ask me a few years ago I thought Harden was so dope, now I don't know.

I would agree. But it's not like Spo is chopped liver.

FOH. We won in 5 games famb. If we didn't blow our lead at the end of the 3rd quarter of Game 1, it could've been a sweep.

Dudes will do anything to try and discredit those Heat titles.

 

[pmatic]

Is it that outrageous? The Heat were better. But it was a competitive series.

I just think dude is exhausted from doing everything on the offensive end. The rockets need to come up with a defensive plan where they can cover him up on the defense cause harden doesnt even want to waste energy on the defensive end and he just wants to use whatever energy he has on the offensive end cause he's the only one on offense who can even create.

All I see is A1 defense

 

[Trey Bantz]

You know what you're right.

Foul called on that play=OKC Thunder 2012 NBA champs.

You know what you're right.

Foul called on that play=OKC Thunder 2013 NBA champs.

foul called on that play = thunder up 2-0

They would've tied the game.

All I know is that OKC vs Heat championship series is one of the more rigged things I've ever seen 

 

[rook]

Man I'm really disappointed at the way KD and Russ closes out games. These guys have been in the league too long to still panic and be so unclutch late in games man

See 2002 Western Conference Finals.
