OKC's a lot faster then the Spurs and were able to force a lot of turnovers. Miami can keep the same pace and with Lebron/Wade primarily controlling the ball it's tough to force turnovers into transition baskets.

Miami's defense has been awesome. Wade's defense on OKCs wings has been terrific. Miami bigs controlling the boards well also. Hope they can keep this up.

OKC has the better FG% just 3 less threes

I meant that OKC is being beaten by the people you didn't expect.

On a side note, SA was a half decent big man away from winning handily. I partly blame Pops for not playing Blair more though.

Spurs ran out of legs. I think that was a way bigger issue than not playing Blai. People harp on about the Spurs age but this year I think OKC really exposed their old legs.

This could be OKC's first home loss these playoffs. I think Miami is really hungry this year, especially after fighting through a couple tough series and being one game away from elimination

Will be tied by end of 3rd (prediction).

Eh, I thought Duncan, Ginobili, Diaw and Jackson all played pretty well, granted they took away Parker. It was Neal and Green that no showed. You're right in that the older players couldn't carry the whole game and thus needed those younger players to step up. I thought their problem was that they couldn't hold on to leads- or keep even for that matter- because they had no defensive interior presence with Duncan off and they rarely got easy points (all exacerbated by age, of course).

Why did Sefalosha leave Switzerland?

Because he's not bank.

3rd was best quarter for Miami throughout the Boston series whereas it was almost always the best quarter for SA in their series with OKC. Not that that means anything, but whatever. xD
