[Stardust]

If I saw the stat correctly SK, the King was 12-12 shooting FT's, making the last two under pressure - you know, that stat that you said would lose the Heat big games

With 1:32, the Great One drove on Sefalosha, Ibaka stepped up to double team! Very difficult shot, but it fell!

Nope, Ref's did not cost either team in this game! Give me the And 1 that Bosh should have got when he was stripped of his clothing in the 3rd quarter, then the shot by Durant still would have meant nothing!

*************

This game was the story of two halves. Home teams always make big runs in the 2nd half, and the Thunder did that in the first two games. When legs are tired, the crowd gives the home team new legs down the stretch, and that is what happened last night. All throughout the playoffs, the Thunder have spent the first half "feeling out" the other team, and then use their younger legs to make huge pushes in the 2nd half! They could get away with that against the older teams that they played in the first 3 rounds, and even in the first two games of this series! They Heat just didn't have the legs in game one to hold off the Thunder. In game two, they did! This series hinges on the Thunder not playing from behind! To let the heat get off to an 18-2 start last night was mind boggling!

As for the Heat, I'm just at a loss as to why Spoelstra has sat Anthony in both games! Anthony is the ONLY interior defender that can stop the drive on the Heat roster. They are going to have to play him! He's a liability on offense, but you have got to make those defensive stops in the paint!

Shane Battier was the difference last night!
