If anything, I doubt OKC will lose too much confidence from this. They came out so flat in the opening half and it cost them. The game played out a lot like game 1 with OKC coming right over the top at the end. OKC just needs to find a way to be consistent with their intensity. Battier has also been huge in both games and I can't see his offensive output lasting. OKC still looks slightly better for me, but there isn't much in it. It's great to see LBJ and Durant playing so well though--that last quarter was pretty special. | ||

Well I mean the higher seed SHOULD be better. I don't necessarily think that Miami will hold homecourt, but that's all they have to do. And even if both teams hold serve, the lower seed then goes into game 6 with a 3-2 advantage. I know the history and all, but I'm not too unhappy with being the lower seed with 2-3-2. | ||

Not like media can get fined... ikr, that guy standing in the back after 2 other ppl asking the same exact question, " so you dont think you got fouled by lbj" he's obviously not going to respond to that in the way he wanted so why even ask. | ||

Can they choose to or refuse to be interviewed? Thanks for the link btw Tien, espn3 doesn't show the postgame conferences and I was too lazy to go find the page I am not sure who decides about who comes up there,must be the nba and the team media people. But i know you get fined if you don't show up, KG got fined 25k after the game 7 loss. | ||

Thanks for the link btw Tien, espn3 doesn't show the postgame conferences and I was too lazy to go find the page I'm not too sure about the rules on media availability but I do think that if you refuse to be interviewed at all you will be fined. You could choose instead to take questions in the locker room, which, as you'd expect, Tim Duncan always does. | ||

They should be better at it. Easy points, they should be practicing them on there own time. Go to the gym and just shoot free throws for an hour or two, there in the NBA they don't have to chase the ball. Free throws impact outcomes of games players need to be better at it. | ||

Hope James comes out too, would like to hear all of the big 3 talk about the game, just curious about what they have to say. Bron's actually on ESPN right now, that's why he's not there with Dwyane. | ||

They're just doing their jobs... Every man and his dog wants to know if KD thought he was fouled (obv he did). I think it's fine for KD to say he thought he was fouled as long as he doesn't insinuate there was bias in the call. | ||

Also lol, DWade liking that tie (comment a few minutes late) Yeah, they usually just show snips of the pressers on ESPN but for some reason they had full, separate interviews today. I wouldn't have known if not for Twitter. On June 15 2012 13:54 RowdierBob wrote: They're just doing their jobs... Every man and his dog wants to know if KD thought he was fouled (obv he did).

Good on KD/Scott Brooks for taking the high road on that one. | ||
