-Watching the Heat right now is painful. I really do feel bad for them. They look old. Lebron looks old, Wade looks elderly, it's just crazy. They aren't that old. They look exactly how the Spurs should have looked. They better pick it up. As much as I hate the Heat, I am a fan of the game, and I want 7 games of good basketball.
-Durant looks amazing tonight. So does Westbrook. However, I do not appreciate hearing about how much better Westbrook is than Rondo. This just is not true. I have never watched Westbrook and thought about him as a once in a lifetime player. He is no such thing. He is yet another incarnation of the Allen Iverson/Steve Francis/Stephon Marbury/Baron Davis/Derrick Rose evolutionary line. I love watching Westbrook play, but Rondo brings things to the table that I cannot even begin to explain.
-One thing I love about the Thunder is the thing I hate about the Bulls: free throws. The Thunder make their free throws! It is amazing to watch! Derrick Rose may be clutch, but when it comes to finishing from the line, he is worse than Lebron, and deserves the heckling that Lebron gets. The difference is in the way that Rose carries himself. Rose will work hard to fix his faults. The same thing cannot be stated about Lebron.
-15 points in the 4th for Durant? That's impressive. He really is in a great position to rule the next decade. I look forward to watching it. I'm hoping Nikola Mirotic is some sort of God-send. I don't see the Bulls ever getting passed the Thunder without some sort of divine intervention.
-In my opinion, the Spurs were the most dangerous team throughout the entire NBA during the playoffs, and the fact that the Thunder were able to take care of them shows me that they should be able to handle a some-what more divided and less balanced Heat team. That said, I am not underestimating the Heat. I know of the damage that Lebron and Wade can and will do throughout the series. I'm hoping for a classic 7 game series. That is not what game 1 seemed to foreshadow, but things can change. The score is still going to be 0-0 at the start of game 2.
-How much can it take for Spo to get canned? They'd be better off with Vinny Del *gets shot*
