You are right. I don't know what I had my channel on. I could swear that it was on ABC, and the game was not on. The time was definitely right, because I ended up checking the score on CBS Sports, and it was mid-first quarter. My bad.
See, I just can't agree with that. I think Mac pretty much said same thing, but by noting how green they were.
Blowing it against the Bobcats is digging your own grave. Blowing it against the superior team is just getting beat. Yeah, you made those mistakes, but because they got you tightened up. I guess that's just my philosophy, but that's how I see it. Say I'm playing one-on-one against a better player. I will be forced to execute better plays, and chances are, will be forced to make more mistakes. You didn't beat yourself against another contender, they beat you. Against the Bobcats, I bet they would have executed better.
Because I hate Miami, but not as much as I hate the Thunder. Don't get me wrong. I hope that you know I have absolutely nothing against the Thunder players, or Oklahoma. Love Brooks & Presti, too. But if Clay Bennett got hit by a bus tonight, I might chuckle. We don't like Seattle, and they don't like us(Portland), but way they got taken is not right. Perfectly legal, but all Bennett had to do was wait for team that was ready to relocate. He went into that transaction with a empty promise, and full aware that Seattle was not going to be able to finance the new arena. I hate the corporate culture anyways, but when they just tell you the silliest lies to your face, fully aware that these little people can do absolutely nothing about it, that's a slap in the face.
If anybody can do it, Thunder certainly would be one of the top candidates. And if anybody was going to fold, Heat certainly would be one of the top candidates. Now if there was a team that defeat itself......
Maybe, I don't know. It's still weird how I've never seen a trade during Playoffs, and not one story I read touches on this fact.

Whoa-whoa-whoa.... Okafor was OK, and Ariza was OK. While you could do worse, players like them are easily replaced, or upgraded. OK, centers are harder to come by, but they probably made too much money. Rashard Lewis has a contract that he was not worth when he was still in his prime(idiots in Orlando). There is no doubt that this was a salary cap move. Expect Rashard contract to go bye-bye, either in amnesty(if N.O. still have it), or buyout. I bet he'll never suit up for the Hornets.

I've caught some Miami highlights, especially in the first quarter, but I missed that one.
That first quarter, Miami looked fast, fluid, in sync, while OKC offense looked sluggish, and forcing play by running into defenders.
I said all along, man. That no good Shane Battier, he's one of the best glue guy any contender could have. He's been huge in this series, as well as in this Game 5.

Right now, Miller has been on fire & the young Jones put up a nice 3 as well. Bosh & Wade driving well. LeBron doing a good job finding open players.I've caught some Miami highlights, especially in the first quarter, but I missed that one.

Miami fans. 
Portland fans have so much more class. We just swear at you!
Edit: Thunder down only seventeen points now. If they can keep it close to down by twenty, they just need to outscore the Heat by twenty in the second half.....
Edit 2: That girl, Christina. Horrid pass. She's still a Raptor.

I agree he's not taking a lot of shots & Harden is definitely giving him room. But the announcers have said that's not his game. He's doing a good job with assists & drives though.LeBron should play more one-on-one. He's doing so good.
What a dummy. One guy dribbling, dribbling, dribbling, and four guys standing around.
Yeah, there's plenty of that going on.
Waiting for Wade to come back and see what he does with 2 fouls, not 3.
