2012 NBA Finals - Thunder vs. Heat / Celtics

[Lord Helmet]

The only question remaining is how they respond to being potentially back door swept by the Heat? Do they come out and play with pride and determination or something less? I'm betting we see the Thunder's best on Thursday night...but will it be enough?

There are teams out there that have been in the league a lot longer than us that have never even BEEN to the NBA Finals (Denver?)...so I hope our guys realize that this is an opportunity that doesn't come around very often. Gotta play Thursday night like it's our last chance at a title (even though we'll be in the mix for the foreseeable future).

[Just the facts]

If this was a made for TV movie then Thunder win 3 in row and take the series.

Never been done. It would be a massive achievement. One for the history books.

Thunder and Heat Finals reminds me of Magic-Lakers Finals

Reminds me more of Kings-Lakers playoff of 2002.

At the end of the game last night and post game presser, they looked like "toast" to me. I hope I'm wrong. I think they are worn out discouraged in having to beat the Heat and the officials.

As a Magic fan, I am very excited about the hire! I am hoping he will do well for the Magic! It is going to be a very interesting week since Henningan will try to convince Dwight to stay or Dwight still wants to be traded before the NBA draft next week!

If Dwight still wants out, how about Dwight for Kevin straight up?

Dwight for Harden and Perkins. I think that's in the works.

I can not stand Harden and Perkins is terrible, no thanks

Reminds me of the 2010 finals, Boston won game 2, 4, and 5 and Lakers won it all. We are very capable of doing just that. I still believe in Thunder.

That is not going to happen since they choked 2 big leads, they do not have the mentality

[OSUMom]

We thought that way when they were 2 down against The Spurs. Gonna be tough, but hopefully they can at least make a series out of it.

Regardless who wins, it's nice to see Oklahoma City and the Thunder getting national exposure.

Was this one of the most over-hyped NBA Finals ever?

[ljbab728]

No.

I would trade Perkins for a pack of smokes and $2 (and I don't even smoke).

Next season...

We had chances in other games but this one was not winnable, with all the three pointers.

[SOONER8693]

I honestly think the Thunder gave it up mentally about 2 games ago, when, they realized they would have to beat 8 each time they played.

Everybody but Westbrook. Atleast not for game 4. But this game... yeah.

Durant and Westbrook will not foget this. They like to win toooooo much. They will come back.

[bluedogok]

It seems every team seems to go through this, they lose in the finals the first time through and then come back and win it another season.

Anyone know when they are flying back to OKC? May be camping out at the airport tonight.

[catch22]

Tomorrow around 130-2pm arrival.

Anyone see the ref giving Miami Head Coach a high five?

[Soonerman]

The Thunder have some unfinished business next year.

[MonkeesFan]

Great season guys! They went through 3 championship teams to get to the Finals, nothing to be ashamed of! Heat is just the better team! The Thunder is a young team, they will be back in the Finals next year against my Orlando Magic!
