Prediction: The Heat don't keep shooting 61%

And 1.

Thunder are playing great man on defense...and the Heat won't stay this...hot.

jayhawk88: Jesus, LeBron must be getting a semi seeing Westbrook guard him.

Not if he can only get the ball out by the three point line. LeBron can't do jackshiat getting the ball out there unless he is playing out of his mind like Game 6 against Boston. He needs the ball 3-5 feet closer.

Harry Zach OBalls: TheJoe03: bulldg4life: The Heat's halfcourt offense is the most awkward thing known to man. Even worse than a new born Giraffe trying to walk.

It's why theelguerodiablo: Everybody drink 5.

We need to make a finals drinking game.

Any time a commentator says tremendous or absolutely, drink

or just drink for every made fg/ft by durant, westbrook, lebron, wade, and harden. it'll be fun!

jayhawk88: Jesus, LeBron must be getting a semi seeing Westbrook guard him.

Westbrook is actually guarding people?! Chalmers was so wide open on that 3.

No lead is safe in the NBA. Just ask the Spurs.

I think the Heat have really found something if they can convince Bosh he needs to keep coming off the bench.

A Fark Handle: here's what i don't get. everyone is telling the sonics fan to get over and shut up. but doesn't their existence prove their point. if the bobcats or hornets had moved there wouldn't be a mass movement screaming about it. of course clay was always just looking for a team to bring home to okc. he was a boy with a new toy. but instead of taking a team from a city that didn't care (seriously find a bobcat fan), he stole the sonics with an assist from the nba. why? because stern wanted to send a message to every other nba city, "give us what we want or we'll shoot the hostage." that's what so farked up. it was a mob hit to keep the extortion going and most of america is ok with that. they stabbed a pregnant woman to take and keep her baby. ugh...

/that's all i'll say about that.

One question, and let me preface this by saying that I certainly don't have an answer, but, is the NBA overall better or worse off after Seattle's move to Oklahoma City?

I would think that Stern would think in these terms and that his answer would be "yes". The thing of it is that businesses are not intended to make ethical, moral, or emotional decisions. Their only concern are their own good, and, by proxy, the good of the shareholders where applicable.

Unfortunately, sports tends to be highly emotional for many people. It's hyperbolic to say that losing a sports team is akin to a hostage being shot or a pregnant woman being stabbed. It sucks for fans, yes, but there are many worse things in life. Sports fans generally have no perspective.

Or the Heat is game 2 of last year's finals.

jayhawk88: Wow that Rock of Ages promo looked bad. Like "Get beat out by Avengers 7th week" bad.

I don't get the appeal of the premise. If you like 80s hair bands, why not enjoy the originals on youtube and save $10?

how did you know that before it happened

Fish!

James looks awkward and is trying way too hard

Jayhawks are playing well!

You breed velociraptors?

That ball was coming down and out...not offensive interference.

oh you're talking about that game called 'drink the beer', love that game, good at it too

What happened to the OKC defense that smothered the best offense in basketball last series. If you can slow down the Spurs half court offense you should destroy the Heats.

Super Nintendo is going off.

Damn James Harden...

Harden with the Reggie Miller leg kick.

Looked like it was offensive interference at full seed to me.

Is Jessica Biel the three tittied chick in Total Recall?

So "Uncle Drew" is the new "The Lebrons"? How long til Irving leaves Cleveland?

Harry Zach OBalls: oh you're talking about that game called 'drink the beer', love that game, good at it too

it's one of my favorites and between the euros, the cup, and this shiat show i'm in "shape"...

I hate split screen interviews. He don't need to Spots mug to know it's him.

After watching Collison's hustle tonight, don't expect too much of Perkins.

Battier is ON FIRE!

Van Gundy is the Andy Rooney of the NBA.

if you bet the over on Shane Battier's point total for game one...claim your prize.
