A question for everyone, is Harden the new Ginobli? He was flopping all over the place really trying to sell the foul. Lost a bit of respect for the Bearded one after watching that game

Love this interview with Ibaka on flopping.

Raja Bell and Manu are the absolute KINGS of floppping. This is my favorite clip on flopping of all time, the second favorite is the one in my signature of Raja doing a chest bump flop hahaha...click "like" if you guys laughed out loud!

FOUL!!!!!!!!!!

Not a foul in my opinion. It was a great defensive play. Also love to see someone doing that specially to Lebron. Ibaka is a good defender and will only get better.

Same goes to the no-call on Lebron pushing off Durant a little. It was also a good defensive play. I think Lebron forced him to take that tough shot instead of Durant waiting for a better move around Lebron.

Wow...harsh words from Magic Johnson on Westbrook..."worst performance ever by a point guard in an NBA Finals!" Ouch....

Since he isn't really a TRUE PG I guess you could make that argument based solely on the PG position; but as a player, no.

drobfan8 · Jun 18, 2012

Well if he's not a "True PG" and guys wanna keep defending him when he takes too many shots, move him to SG and get someone that's going to make his teammates better.

Durant no doubt needs more shots and constantly WB takes too many bad ones. It's been said over and over. I'm sure it's playing in to Miami's game plan. Durant should be getting up more shots.

Hopefully Durant gets them today.

can't wait for today's game!!!
OKC may struggle wthout their home crowds to rally back if they dig themselves another big 1st quarter hole

go LeBron
go OKC
go fence-sitting

Harsh for sure, but I agree with Magic - Russell looked like he was playing for Finals MVP in that first stretch of the game and missing those jumpers made him take more wild shots. It could have been by design from OKC, who knows...

But I would have loved to see the final game analysis by Magic, even more interesting if OKC won that game. As much as Russ shoots OKC out of a game, he is pretty instrumental in their comebacks.

I agree with everyone though KD needs to take more shots. MIA have played really good D on him though. They've pretty much eliminated the lob over the top to KD when he's between the defender and the basket, with Wade and LeBron (when not defending KD) lurking in the background

To me the NBA it's self is stabbing itself in the back. Every game, the loser is beat down and ripped apart as though the don't have the right to be in the finals. Players are pulled apart on a negative level only, when they lose. They didn't lose by 30 pts.
All the best were invited and these two teams have beat all comers. Lets give credit to the team for winning and not blame someone for losing. It's not Westbrook's fault they lost, or anyone else. That's how he plays, he is dangerous and unpredictable. These are two great teams and one must lose.
Westbrook is a great PG, HOF, no. But he is there and without him OKC wouldn't be. The same goes for when the Heat lost, sports writers were saying that the Heat didn't deserve to be there.

Cmon let's get game 3 started!

smk762 · Jun 18, 2012

Lebron not in cold killer face mode yet...

spurlec · Jun 18, 2012

Lebro dominating the paint, trouble for okc...

smk762 · Jun 18, 2012

They've been forced to guard outside.

drob50 · Jun 18, 2012

Thats the benefit of a pinch shooter! Only has tp do it enough times to strike the fear! Then it changes the whole structure!

Battier 1
OKC 0

ozballer23 · Jun 18, 2012

Lebron with 13 already, looking dangerous!
