Son, I was dying to post a comment on the playoffs.

My team's the Sixers, been a loyal fan since 2001. Enjoyed the victory over the Bulls immensely. Happy Rose is out. Let's hope for a repeat tonight! We have our own young Big 3. Holiday, Turner and Williams. Iggy, please don't shoot, just stick to dunking.

I think it's gonna be Spurs vs Heat in the final. Though Durant and Westbrook might stop the spurs. The way Heat is playing, I think they'll be the eastern conference champ for the next 4 years.

And the knicks have no excuse. They are a filthy reach team, buying good players all the time. It's their fault for not gelling together properly. Though I do believe Lin could've made a difference had he been not injured.

[Roey Haque]

YAYYY! We beat the Bulls again! Go Sixers. Lou, Jrue, and Evan going double digits again. This is what we need.

Bulls looks lost without Rose. Now I wish Knicks finished 8th and faced Bulls instead of Miami. But we won our first playoff game in 11 years. That's the only consolation in what has been otherwise a complete Heat rampage.

Btw, Dallas got clean sweeped. OKC looks like a team to beat. But after Knicks, I might support the Clippers.

Yeah, the whole Clippers story is unfathomable. Wasn't it just last year all the late night talk show hosts were still making CLippers jokes? Lol. Blake is a fine, fine player. CP brings a whole lotta class. They have a good chance I say.

And yeah, OKC is a team I can appreciate. They developed players like Durant, Westbrook and Harding and made a team around them. Teams like Magic, Heat and Knicks can only spend, spend and spend. And I hate that!

Pray for my sixers! We still need to beat the bulls once more. It ain't over till it's over.

[Dilscoop]

Blake MotherFlipping Griffin! He keeps taking it to the next level, game by game.

[Rifat]

Very impressed with San Antonio Spurs and OK City...let's see what happens!

[Roey Haque]

I say 4-2 to Spurs.

[Tigers_eye]

1-0 Spurs. Good game. OKC withstood the spurs and were leading by 9 in the 4th. Then Manu took over. 98-101.
Tonight Miami vs Buiras. Go LeBron.

[Ajfar]

who would have thought the buiras would make it this far.

[Tiger444]

I see Miami winning against Boston in 5 games, maybe 6. I see the Spurs/Thunders series being a good one but Spurs definitely have the edge.

Not a bad comeback by the 'buiras' let's hope they can continue.

[Roey Haque]

I'm still sticking with my prediction: 4-2 to Spurs.

As for heats and celtics, can't believe Heats actually conceded a game. It'll definitely make next match more interesting.

[Tiger444]

Big game for the Thunder tonight. If they win, then the series is still very much alive. If they lose, then they're gone. As for the Celtics, same situation.

[mufi_02]

All predictions have been proven wrong. OKC is through and Celtics is right there.

Celtics just couldn't pull it off. But the fact they made it this far which is huge considering no one thought they would be here with a bunch of oldies. It's alright. Rando is will get us another ring sometime down the line.

[F6_Turbo]

KD and Westbrook push the Thunder over the line in Game 1.

Man Dwayne Wade is declining fast

[mufi_02]

All the Euro 2012 hype and no one talking about NBA Finals.

Anyway, what a game last night! OKC came strong in the 2nd half and shocked Miami. James is doing okay but Wade and Chalmers need to pick up. But my money is on OKC. They have beaten Dallas, Lakers, Spurs to reach the final. All those teams boasts superstars and are dynasties.

Go OKC!!

Go OKC!!

It was a very good game. Wade really needs to play a lot better then he is now. He seems way too hesitant out there. He needs to do what he does best, go and slash hard rather than taking needless jump shots which isn't his game. Lebron did well but got shut down yet again in the 4th quarter. Credit to Sefalosha who did a great job on Lebron. He's really 1 of the underrated players in the NBA.

Durant is really 1 hell of a player. His overall offensive game in my opinion is the best in the NBA right now. It just seems impossible to stop the guy when he's on. Really happy to see a young superstar performing so well. Also Westbrook really did an outstanding job yesterday continuously contributing in every way.

The next game should be interesting. If Miami wins, then they can be in decent shape but if they lose, I see them in very big trouble.

[mufi_02]

Game 2 tonight.

Miami is feeling the Heat. They will come back strong and I am expecting 40+ points for James. That's what he did after they went down 2-3 against the Celtics. But, OKC seems to be in fine form and on a 5 game winning streak. Durant has been superb and the support from WestBrook, Harden and Shefalosha has been great too.

There is some resemblance to OKC this season and BD Asia Cup. Both underdogs led by young Durant and Shakib. The crowds at Oklahoma is the loudest too. I hope they win.

OKC are no underdogs...just about all the pundits picked them to win the West in the preseason.

[mufi_02]

^^ I didn't know that. I thought Dallas, Lakers, or Spurs were the favorites from West.

Nope...despite their inexperience, going into the season, ALL the pundits had OKC from the west. In fact very few picked the Spurs to even make the Western conference finals.


Back to the finals....

Miami steal home court from OKC by winning game 2, 100-96. Like in game 1, Miami got out to a big lead, but unlike game 1, this time, Miami held on(just).

[Zeeshan]

Sloppy by Ok at the last few seconds. I wanna know more on James' mind clearing abilities during shooting.

[F6_Turbo]

Big game tonight, if Miami win I think they'll go on to win the series.
