| Well assuming James has to guard Durant with maybe some Battier mixed in, does that leave a combo of Wade and Chalmers on Westbrook? That would be a serious mismatch in favor of the Thunder. |

Thunder in six. I think the Thunder keep rolling and end up being too much for the Heat.
As good as Lebron vs Durant could be, I just have no interest in watching. Both of my teams are out now, and my only interest would be in seeing the Thunder beat the Heat. |

Which one? The 3-time MVP vs. 3-time scoring champ? Or the fact they worked out together this past off-season? 
Go Thunder!
On a side note, I love how much the city of Seattle is pouting.  |

I think it'll be LeBron covering Durant, Wade covering Harden, and Battier / Chalmers on Westbrook. But Miami switches so much, it doesn't really matter.
I wonder how OkC will defend. On LeBron, I figure they'll try to avoid Durant every minute and mix in some Collison and Sefolosha. But I feel Sefolosha is more suited to slow Wade down. Of course, Harden will also get some time on him.
As for Bosh, I'd probably put Durant on him. If they put Ibaka on him, they'll either have to let Bosh get his from outside (not good) or have Ibaka out on the perimeter (even worse). |

| Based on what I've read/heard, Battier will be matched up on Durant the majority of the game. |

| Great win by the Thunder after being down by double digits earlier. Hate to beat ahead horse but again, look at LeBron's fourth quarter and compare it to Durant's. |

| The Heat D disappeared. They better do LeBron on Durant for the rest of the series because KD can do whatever he wants against Battier. |

I sure hope not.
The Thunder have got to make history to win it.  |

| If they can get this tonight, they'll go back to an amazing home court for 6 and 7.... |

Huge "if" though. Oklahoma City continues to play like garbage down the wire. Even when Durant went off in games 1 and 2 in the fourth, I felt it was more fool's gold. There were ISO's and just fantastic shots but not great offense or shot selection.
Sure, Durant has the tendency an amazing shot every once in a while, but Brooks doesn't seem to be running many sets in the 4th. I think Spo has been outcoaching him by a landslide the last 2 games. |

| It barely took 2.5 quarters to decide this game. Phenomenal job by Miami. Well deserved. |

| As much as I wanted the Thunder to win, Miami dominated and deserved it. |
