The only team that can challenge them is the Mavs, imo. If OKC makes it to the finals they should just give the heat the trophy in some back alley and save the rest of us the time. | ||

I've been expecting the Heat to win since the 1st round, but Mavs are almost like a Cinderella story  (I have less hopes for Grizz) | ||

Game 4 vs OKC was arguably the best game played this postseason, certainly one of the most entertaining. Other than game 5, this series has been great to watch, as a fan who doesn't really have a rooting interest here. Last night's game was over in the first half. | ||

I really don't understand why everyone thinks the Grizzlies choked. Lets consider the facts. 1) Besides game 1, the Thunder have had double digit leads going in to the 4th quarter or at some point around then. It took a ridiculous comeback and A LOT of help from the Thunder for them to come back in game 3. 2) The Grizzlies just lost a triple overtime game. They are emotionally exhausted, and have to gather much more energy than the younger Thunder team to play in a hostile environment. Meanwhile, the Thunder have their home crowd, one of the best in the NBA, feeding them energy. NBA homecourt advantage is one of the biggest factors in deciding a game or series, we know this. 3) Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, probably 2 of the most out of shape big men in the league, played close to 60 minutes in game 4 each. While Gasol was less effected, Randolph was far from himself. On the otherhand, With all but Nick Collison of the Thunder's key players being less than 25 years old, the Thunder's youth and energy alone should have been enough to carry them in Game 5, and it did. This was evidenced by the fact that the Thunder won the majority of the 50/50 balls, scored more points in the paint, and played... normally, without being to tired to blow easy baskets. 4) With a series tied 2-2, the home team wins the series about 2/3 of the time. So in conclusion, you were insane if you thought the Grizzlies were actually going to win. | ||

LeBron is the better passer and rebounder. When a player is scoring well it's more obvious that he's playing well, but LeBron brings just as much to the table--I think it's a wash between the two of them. | ||
