I see these playoffs like a passing of the torch. The THunder went through all the recent western champs (Mavs, Lakers, Spurs) and beaten them all. Now they have the championship to win. They are the new power going foward in the West.

very true and if they go up against boston, I think that the thunder will have an even better chance of getting their first ring.

however...... ahh sonics fans i feel so bad for them and i really hope that they can get a team back there asap

I'm happy for the OKC to make their first finals appearance ~ Hoping Celtics can secure a spot beside them tomorrow though :D

Gotta give it up to the Thunder as they played outstanding especially since they were down at the half. I agree about the refs calling bad fouls towards the end. Seems like its the year for Thunder to win and I don't think any team from the east can stop them this year.

huh, I guess that makes the Thunder the....15th ever team to come back from being down 0-2 in playoff history? I think someone said only 14 teams have done it prior to this year, so I guess that makes OKC the 15th. It has never happened to both WCF and ECF, right?

I'm glad the finals are on ABC, can actually watch the games in HD instead of trying to make out players in shitty SD.

One of the best games I've ever watched. Can't wait for the finals! I just wish this terrible ECF series would hurry up and finish.
If you can't jam with the best, then you have to slam with the rest.

Yeah exactly, Cs potentially/probably making more NBA history this year! (to my admitted dismay)

Seriously, though, Celtics definitely recognize that Heat (just look at all those Doc Rivers interviews lolz, + Show Spoiler +
sounds like Nadal talking about Federer being the best ever and how it's such an honor to play him right before he hands Roger's ass to him the next day on clay
) are a good team and that will help them that much more in shutting them down tomorrow at home I feel like T__T

Can't imagine the pressure on LBJ if Durant gets a ring before him. Media is going to tear him apart

Excellent point. It's like they HAVE to win now which makes Finals that much more exciting.
A part of me wants OKC/Boston finals but Durant/Lebron would make one hell of an entertaining one, on the court and off.

Oh god lol, Durant winning a title before LBJ......he literally would not hear the end of that :/

Those stats though tonight....OKC's FG and 3pt FG%....36-72 and 10-18, respectively. That is unreal.

Yeah, though it just makes me even more sad to think if we get a team in seattle again, that means someone somewhere else lost a team.

But I guess we can't make everyone happy. Stern said he's not going to expand any time soon, so someone has to get fucked for seattle to get a team lol

I said a healthy Miami team would tear the Celtics apart. But when they lost Bosh in Indy I already said they'd have trouble making the Finals.


Kind of like they did regular season.

Whend u become such a hater? Im positive healthy Celtics would tear Miami another asshole. I wish they had Bosh all along for these excuses to not come up (who cares how injury ridden Celtics are)
