When he is allowed to ram his shoulder into Harden over and over, and Harden gets called for a foul for just trying to hold his position, then he will be hard to stop.

Players that get favored by the refs will look better.
Players that aren't getting calls will look like they are not playing well.

Best player in the game. Deal with it.
 
I should have said this before the series started so I don't look like half a dick, but I didn't see OKC having much of a shot at winning this. Put yourself ahead 15 years and think of the game's history with LeBron and it's hard to imagine him losing this year, especially with another top 5-10 player who has already been there.

I'm rooting for OKC and I'm still surprised they've kept games as close as they have. LBJ is playing on another level right now.

I, too, didn't think they could win this and made my reasons for why very clear before it all started.

The funny thing is that ESPN took a poll before the Finals started and 49 of the 50 states picked OKC to win.

Why should the Heat be given credit?

In a league completely void of bigmen... In a playoff with the best big man missing... You got Chris Bosh. It's amazing he hasn't dominated as much as he should have.

Then you take into account you have two of the top 5 best players in the league and one of the league's best perimeter defenders for the past 5+ years....

I'm not so sure the Heat ever will get credit. Nor should they.

The refs baby to them. And the way they win is so dirty. The way that team came together was dirty.

Had Bird been able to recruit Isiah Thomas and Magic, how many more championships would he have won? If Jordan had recruited Malone or Dream? Should they receive credit when basically they have the league's best talent?

I'll give credit to Lebron, he has overcome that no-playoff showing crap. He has led them. But I think "giving" them credit was thrown out the window when the "Big 3" came together. Everyone knew they were instant contenders. If anything, the championship was theirs to lose.
 
Thunder are too soft.

The play that stuck with me from tonight's game was Shane Battier taking it to the rim with Durant guarding him and lowering his shoulder into Durant, getting a wide open layup. Durant really needs to up his defense to make the next step.

They did beat a fantastic Spurs team in a 7 game series. Sorry, but you can't overlook something that impressive.


Time to give credit where credit is due. Miami absolutely deserves credit for being champions.

Yeah, the Spurs are a finesse team though. The Heat displayed a lot of toughness with the way James played.
