2012 NBA Finals, Game 3: Miami vs Oklahoma City presented by The Lord is Cruel

[baseline bum]

Damn, Battier and then Westbrook with the answer. Once again, this has been a fucking epic series so far.

[benefactor]

Awesome first half. Going to be a wild finish.

[DMC]

lol fat heat fan

[IronMexican]

:lmao he wanted a foul

[lefty]

Those niggas came to play

[siraulo23]

battier still shooting out of his mind :lol

[Edward]

:lmao he wanted a foul
:lol

[Reck]

Wrong, faggot.

18k posts worth of garbage, does not compute! does not compute! Ignore!

[baseline bum]

You think Wilbon will ask Stern about fixing the lottery at halftime?

[Edward]

:lol DPG really needs to let go of this mid range shooting thing.

[DPG21920]

:lol so many fluky shots.

MIA has to have another gear - despite the lead, they really aren't playing very well collectively.

[DPG21920]

:lol DPG really needs to let go of this mid range shooting thing.

Dude, it's unreal. It's not normal to hit at this type of elevated rate on rather difficult shots.

[TE]

At some point, what's fluky becomes expected. OKC may very well be the best jumpshooting team of all time. Unreal shooting.

[Edward]

I think FromWayDowntown had a post about OKC being like historically good at the shot.

[scanry]

Dude, it's unreal. It's not normal to hit at this type of elevated rate on rather difficult shots.

Dallas made them last year.

[Reck]

Dude, it's unreal. It's not normal to hit at this type of elevated rate on rather difficult shots.

Maybe they practice these type of shots, like really hard? Dont let the hate for the Thunder players blind your senses man.

[MavDynasty]

Get stern off tv, faggot ass Jew

[lefty]

I want to break my TV right now

[TE]

Dallas made them last year.

Dallas moved the ball around. Dirk was the only one to hit ridiculous shots.


This series, as expected, Durant is lighting it up. But players like Westbrook hitting crazy shots? Nah man

[mavs>spurs]

Not this good. As evidenced by their normal percentages.

This is where you just throw stuff out there and me and DoK have been calling ass. According to basketball reference, OKC shot .471 as a team all season. This series, as of halftime of this game, they are shooting .479. You are such a liar and a fact bender.

:wow

[Clipper Nation]

Stern, owning the conspiracy theorists.

[WeNeedLength]

https://twitpic.com/show/large/9xo55x

Did he just sew two of them together??? :lmao

Bron shouldn't make it that obvious. :lol

[TE]

Nevertheless, this is looking to be a great game that will go down to the last possession.

[TE]

Stern talking about the 84 lottery :wow

[lefty]

Wilbon is going at it

[MavDynasty]

Lol stern talking about conspiracy

[Edward]

Stern shittin' on niggas

[scanry]

Wilbon is going at it

Wilbon is too big a p@ssy to go at it.

[lefty]

Wilbon I like you man, but you've got to pull the trigger




Pull that jew nose

[Clipper Nation]

Stern just ethering the crybabies out there tbh...

[Capt Bringdown]

In a close series, I think MIA has the advantage because they can score inside.
OKC's only hope is to double down on the fluke outside shooting and that pray that MIA will pull a Kobe and forget to attack the paint.

[Reck]

Is that headband even legal? :lol

Looks like a foam type thick layered headband. Just wear a fucking Do rag already. lol

[Edward]

I wonder if Stern is going to address OKC's fluke shooting. The only way they coulda shot the ball so well against San Antonio was a conspiracy involving magnets in the basketball.

[LakerHater]

[2pac > Kobe]

stern just doesn't give a shit

Underrated commissioner imo

[TE]

Stern is the typical badass businessman

[Edward]

Stern just dominating the world like Jews are supposed to dominate the world.

No surprises here.

[Reck]

Wilbon just went in pussy mode against the big bad rigging monster. :lol

[2pac > Kobe]

Go Stern

[resistanze]

Stern is such a Jew :lol

[Latarian Milton]

stern wants the series to go 7 games and he's giving them OKC 3 wins before we get our 2nd, we're losing 2 of the 3 games in miami imho :cry

[lefty]

karma will get him




dont worry

[Technique]

So what exactly did we learn from this interview? What was the point of showing Stern answer those soft ass questions in front of millions of people.

[Clipper Nation]

So what exactly did we learn from this interview? What was the point of showing Stern answer those soft ass questions in front of millions of people.

We learned how to pad a halftime show with timewasting nonsense.

[Latarian Milton]

just don't give a shit bout the series until game 5 tbh, when a best of 3 series begins and the true basketball is played w/o manipulation

[Spurologist]

THere he is. Chuckbrook

[Clipper Nation]

Why is Bron shooting jumpers.

[TE]

Why is Bron shooting jumpers.

Yeah, pretty stupid Tbh

[TE]

:wow durant

[Clipper Nation]

The Heat are literally incapable of making jump shots tonight tbh... OKC wins.

[Capt Bringdown]

Why is Bron shooting jumpers.

He's pulling a Kobe

[TE]

:lol Spoelstra calling a "play"

[Clipper Nation]

He's pulling a Kobe

Nah, Bron's passed the ball and ventured into the paint, unlike Kobrick in chuck mode.

[Capt Bringdown]

MIA's halftime speech: shoot more jumpers
Dumb

[Edward]

fuck my bitch based stern

[LakerHater]

Westbrick!!!

[Reck]

Looks like Wade is gonna need another procedure done. :lol

[DPG21920]

This is where you just throw stuff out there and me and DoK have been calling ass. According to basketball reference, OKC shot .471 as a team all season. This series, as of halftime of this game, they are shooting .479. You are such a liar and a fact bender.

No. I am talking about 15+ foot shots. They shot 42% for the year and shot over 50% against the Spurs and are continuing. That just started in the WCF and is now continuing.

[TE]

Chimp with the rondo

[benefactor]

Sensing a shift.

[OKC Thunder fan]

I forgot the game was on tonight. Can't watch it since I'm at work. How's it looking?

[Clipper Nation]

Game tbh, unless someone on the Heat can actually make a jumper.

[TE]

Sensing a shift.

Correct.

[Darth_Pelican]

Miami is in the bonus for 7+ mins this quarter, attack the rim and stop shooting jumpers

[DPG21920]

Covering at the end of 1:tu

LeBron looks amazing...I'm gonna lose $500 to DPG


Everytime you quit early, the opposite happens. :lol

Boom..

[Spurologist]

:rollin OKC giving away jumpers and MIA can't hit shit

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL Heat shooting 36%

[mavs>spurs]

Not this good. As evidenced by their normal percentages.


No. I am talking about 15+ foot shots. They shot 42% for the year and shot over 50% against the Spurs and are continuing. That just started in the WCF and is now continuing.

that's the shot they were given. overall their percentages are pretty close to normal, they simply find a way to score with what the defense gives them.

i'd be curious to see what the numbers are like vs miami in regard to 15+ footers. I'd be willing to bet it's dipped back down, as miami's defensive strategy seems to be more balanced rather than focusing on packing the paint.

[ballhog]

Miami is in the bonus for 7+ mins this quarter, attack the rim and stop shooting jumpers

Exactly. Timeout was a few minutes late there.

[DPG21920]

Heat getting game planned like OKC, except OKC raising their averages, not shooting below. Difference in the game. As simple as it sounds, you have to hit shots.

[DPG21920]

Their percentage was not close to normal.

[baseline bum]

That shit was an offensive goaltend.

[lefty]

goaltending?

[baseline bum]

Motherfucking Durant!

[lurker]

All hail King Durant :worthy:

[DPG21920]

It was obvious MIA was in trouble. Too much reliance on one guy when the other team has a guy who can cancel him out.

[Edward]

lol Chimpbrook killing momentum with his chimpball

[Reck]

This is what happens when you dont fall behind by 15 points in the first quarter.

[lefty]

Acne with 4

[Clipper Nation]

This game is over... how anyone can still blame LeBron is beyond me.

[baseline bum]

Durant with the moronic foul.

[baseline bum]

Take it back, that was a shit call.

[DPG21920]

Big foul on Durant, although OKC has done much better without Durant than MIA has done without Lebron.

[lefty]

Durant arguing :lmao

[mavs>spurs]

Their percentage was not close to normal.

their overall shooting percentage vs miami is, isn't that what were watching now? you said they are continuing to hit all kinds of fluke shots when they are shooting the same fg% vs miami as they did all regular season.

[lefty]

Çhimp :lol

[Edward]

:lmao Chimpbrook

[DPG21920]

Are those not free throws?

[VBM]

Battier doing it all

[Darth_Pelican]

no Durant for 5 mins. expect westbrook to shoot every possession and Heat to get right back in it

[DPG21920]

their overall shooting percentage vs miami is, isn't that what were watching now? you said they are continuing to hit all kinds of fluke shots when they are shooting the same fg% vs miami as they did all regular season.

From that 15 foot and out shot.

[VBM]

Gotta shoot that, LBJ

[Darth_Pelican]

Fisher!

[VBM]

This dude Fisher

[lefty]

LOL Miami still shooting jumpers





Idiots

[Edward]

Fisher > Chimpbrook

[DPG21920]

See how OKC can extend leads with their star(s) out?

[Reck]

Fisher is every teams killer, not just the Spurs, as illustrated there. :lol

[lurker]

Kill 'em, Fish :lmao

[MavDynasty]

Fish always hits fuckin daggers :lmao

[baseline bum]

That dickhead Fisher with the four point play! :rollin


Miami should have been making a huge run right now with Durant on the bench.

[DPG21920]

Bron should go Kobe v the Suns and quit with his teammates playing like this.

[OKC Thunder fan]

Fouls? Overrated.

[baseline bum]

Should have passed to Fisher there, as he was wide open on the baseline.

[Clipper Nation]

Bron should go Kobe v the Suns and quit with his teammates playing like this.

Yeah, that would have played REAL well in the media.

[mavs>spurs]

DPG choosing the heat fucked me up and jinxed me tbh, dude is just destined to be wrong bout dem __________ for all eternity :cry

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Once again Miami keeps beating themselves. Not worried. They will rally.

[DPG21920]

Wow.

[Reck]

That dickhead Fisher with the four point play! :rollin


Miami should have been making a huge run right now with Durant on the bench.

If not for those crazy starts by Miami, Thunder by right should be leading this series 2-0.

This is what happens when you play as you should.

[TE]

Bullshit call given to Ibaka.

[baseline bum]

What a stupid foul there; Ibaka had absolutely nowhere to go there.

[VBM]

Splitter approved of that FT

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Ibaka

[DPG21920]

MIA is playing so poorly it is mind numbing. If they just play normal, they win.

[mavs>spurs]

What a stupid foul there; Ibaka had absolutely nowhere to go there.

was it even really a foul though?

was it?

[mavs>spurs]

MIA is playing so poorly it is mind numbing. If they just play normal, they win.

get away from me you bad luck :cry

[baseline bum]

LOL dumbass foul Ibaka.

[Capt Bringdown]

If not for .04, Fisher would be one of my favorites. The dude is simply killer in the post season.

[DPG21920]

MIA has to regain control. OKC has shown they are unshakeable. Can MIA actually respond to adversity?

[TIMMYtoZO]

Shane Battier is a fucking stud. One of the best role players we have in this league. Great defender, tough/gritty vet, CLUTCH shooter, etc etc

[TIMMYtoZO]

MIA has to regain control. OKC has shown they are unshakeable. Can MIA actually respond to adversity?

Ummmm, Miami is fine. Don't worry.

[VBM]

If not for .04, Fisher would be one of my favorites. The dude is simply killer in the post season.

If not for the tip-out, I'm sure Robert Horry is one of King fan's favorites as well

[TE]

OKC is the better team. They may not have the best player, which is arguable, but they have the better team, the better bench and the better coach.

[Darth_Pelican]

MIA has to regain control. OKC has shown they are unshakeable. Can MIA actually respond to adversity?

If Durant sits the rest of the quarter (likely) then Miami should cut it to 2 or less.

[OKC Thunder fan]

Foul

[ballhog]

Battier open. He's the only one able to hit long jumpers right now.

[lurker]

If not for .04, Fisher would be one of my favorites. The dude is simply killer in the post season.
It doesn't even matter if he's shit in the regular season, I'd still want him for when it counts.

[Clipper Nation]

MIA has to regain control. OKC has shown they are unshakeable. Can MIA actually respond to adversity?

You say that as if OKC is facing a full team and not just LeBron.

[baseline bum]

Ummmm, Miami is fucked. I'm scared shitless.

fify

[OKC Thunder fan]

Why does it seem like the heat choke after every half?

[baseline bum]

CROFL Fisher.

[Darth_Pelican]

2 fouls from 3 :lol

[ballhog]

Never seen so many fouls on 3's.....

[Capt Bringdown]

It doesn't even matter if he's shit in the regular season, I'd still want him for when it counts.

In that regard, Fisher is the mirror opposite of turd extraordinaire, Matt Bonner.

[TE]

TOSB fisher giving all three back to James j:lolnes

[DPG21920]

Durant and Westbrook are going to have a ton of rest and energy. They should kill MIA in the fourth as Wade and Bron tire out.

[ballhog]

Need to tie this shit up before 4th quarter starts

[DPG21920]

Carry :lmao

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Boom! Down to 3. OKC= F:lolcked

[DPG21920]

Chalmers needs to step up.

[resistanze]

Remember when Wade wasn't garbage?

[DPG21920]

No Lebron, Wade crumbles :lol

This is absurd. No Durant or Brook, yet Wade can't step up.

[OKC Thunder fan]

:lol Boom! Down to 3. OKC= F:lolcked

your team always chokes in the 4th? Good luck!

[ballhog]

Should start Hack-a-Harden

[mavs>spurs]

lebron's supporting cast suddenly looks every bit as bad as the one he just left behind in cleveland, ironically :lol

[Venti Quattro]

Remember when Wade wasn't garbage?

We were hating him for getting to the freethrow line an inordinate amount of times.

[DPG21920]

Get the lead back.

[baseline bum]

Nice move by Wade on the previous basket.

[Reck]

Durant will be fresh to start the 4th. Miami fucked.

[baseline bum]

lebron's supporting cast suddenly looks every bit as bad as the one he just left behind in cleveland, ironically :lol

Philibeaner = Mike Brown tbh

[DPG21920]

I'm telling you, even though OKCs lead has dwindled, Durant's rest with any lead is gold. Lebron barely gets any rest and it will hurt them.

[Darth_Pelican]

No Durant and the Heat cut a 10 point lead to 1.

[Spurologist]

jumpball

[TIMMYtoZO]

Boom! Miami back ahead!

[Darth_Pelican]

boom

[baseline bum]

Nice shot LeBron.

[lefty]

Why a jumpball?


It was clearly Collison

[Spurologist]

Fuck you Harden. You made that shit time and time again against us. FUCK YOU

[baseline bum]

Harden sucking monkey fuck tonight.

[Darth_Pelican]

It' going to be a great 4th. Rested KD on the road

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Game over! That run sealed OKC's fate. Onto game 4 with Miami up 2-1. Lets go Heat!

[benefactor]

No bad considering Durant sat most of the quarter.

[DPG21920]

Rebounding is destroying MIA this quarter, and the lack of shooting too. Even though MIA got the lead back, OKC is in a fantastic spot to win this game which would be very balsy. The whistle has been more than even, MIA has gotten free throws, but they are shitting the bed overall outside of Lebron and Battier (wade in spurts).

[Reck]

What we are about to see in the 4th from Durant, will be epic.

Oh baby..

[Darth_Pelican]

Miami needs to draw that 5th foul as early as possible

[benefactor]

:lol Game over! That run sealed OKC's fate. Onto game 4 with Miami up 2-1. Lets go Heat!


No bad considering Durant sat most of the quarter.

[ballhog]

Nice run by Miami. Maybe Durant doesn't start 4th. Looks like a nail-biter

[TE]

Fuck you Harden. You made that shit time and time again against us. FUCK YOU

Yeah, he might've regressed to the scrub-like level I thought of he was. When he ain't making threes, and/or drawing cheap bullshit fouls, the guy is not that good.

[Darth_Pelican]

Rebounding is destroying MIA this quarter, and the lack of shooting too. Even though MIA got the lead back, OKC is in a fantastic spot to win this game which would be very balsy. The whistle has been more than even, MIA has gotten free throws, but they are shitting the bed overall outside of Lebron and Battier (wade in spurts).

Only in a fantastic spot if KD doesnt foul

[TE]

Durant, 4th quarter, can't wait to see what he pulls off tbh.

[OKC Thunder fan]

:lol Game over! That run sealed OKC's fate. Onto game 4 with Miami up 2-1. Lets go Heat!

:lol

[Clipper Nation]

What we are about to see in the 4th from LeClutch, will be epic.

Oh baby..

[DPG21920]

Only in a fantastic spot if KD doesnt foul

True, but he's smart and wont foul. Plus, if Lebron is gassed like he has been, he won't drive and put KD in bad spots.

Lebron has a mountain of responsibility this game (guarding KD and doing all the scoring, wtf!) so it will be nothing short of heroic if he can pull this one out.

[TIMMYtoZO]

Miami's elite D is going to limit Durant in the 4th. This game is finished. :lol

[benefactor]

Your shtick is tired.

[DMC]

RW is going to limit KD

[Darth_Pelican]

nice pass Wade

[DPG21920]

Wade needs to focus more on passing IMO. Be aggressive, but set guys up.

[TIMMYtoZO]

Haslem!

[ballhog]

How long before KD commits dumb foul?

[DPG21920]

Chalmers, don't try and draw a charge on Fish, Defend his ass.

[DPG21920]

:lmao Wade

[Clipper Nation]

Wade is going to cost Miami for real, he deserves all the hate LeClutch gets.

[DMC]

D'Whine Wade

[DPG21920]

Finally.

[mavs>spurs]

james jones stopping by to say hi

[Darth_Pelican]

offensive foul momentum killer

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol James Jones adding insult to injury

[LakerHater]

So OKC coastin cuz thier main players are on the bench??

[ballhog]

Jones for 3. Harden flopping again. He's an artist at this

[DPG21920]

Legs. OKC has them.

[DMC]

ruh roh

[lurker]

Durant :worthy:

[benefactor]

You can turn this one off. Miami is going to lose.

[TE]

What a game

[Nathan89]

The only thing that can stop OKC now is foul trouble.

[DPG21920]

Wade, after that great pass, has completely shit the bed this quarter. Turn over after turn over when they had been taking care of the ball all game (which allows you to stay in it when you shoot 38%)

[DAF86]

What the fuck are the Heat doing on offense? Give the ball to Lebron on the low block and space the fucking court.

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol The haters think OKC is winning this game. Miami is in control of this game. They have been in control of 95% of this series. Nothing has changed.

[Spurologist]

I was looking forward to seeing a Harden flop on the replay but ESPN pulled the plug.

:lol Nobody wants to win

[mavs>spurs]

late calls are so lame

[LakerHater]

WOW, NBA tryin hard to help Miami!

[Clipper Nation]

So, so tired of the OKC Ref-Humpers tbh.

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Chalmers with a beautiful response!

[ballhog]

Harden...ugly beard, bad haircut, bad teeth

[OKC Thunder fan]

Lol repost like 3 times

[DPG21920]

:lmao airball then foul

[baseline bum]

Durant choking like hell.

[DPG21920]

Wade with 4 turn overs in the fourth when the team had 6 total :lol

[Nathan89]

kaboom

[DPG21920]

Lebron should be the only one with the ball. Everything through him.

[Nathan89]

Only foul trouble will stop OkC

[ballhog]

Nice D there

[DPG21920]

:lmao Lebron gets my respect. Has to defend the best scorer on Earth and score.

[DPG21920]

Wade again :lmao

[Spurologist]

:lmao Wade

[Darth_Pelican]

Wade :lol

[ballhog]

How does Fisher get away with all those strips?

[DPG21920]

What is complete garbage overall right now. Lebron having to play agains OKC and overcome Wade.

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Miami needs to finish this game already. Seeing them toy around with OKC is getting boring.

[mavs>spurs]

lebron's asshole teammates and the filibeaner ran him into the ground and now he's gassed.

that last time defending durant you could see it.

[OKC Thunder fan]

Ha, man spur fans cry, thunder fan crys and even heat fans cry about refs. Fuck it :lol

[DAF86]

When will Wade enter official TOSB territory?

[mavs>spurs]

When will Wade enter official TOSB territory?

earlier this year tbh

[TIMMYtoZO]

When will Wade enter official TOSB territory?

In 4-5 years from now after Miami wins the next 4-5 championships

[Latarian Milton]

wade is a shitbag now tbh can't beat 37yr old fish at low post :cry

[LakerHater]

When will Wade enter official TOSB territory?
Dude wants every call!

[ballhog]

Wade should know that Fisher is gonna strip the ball low.......fucking learn something

[DPG21920]

OKC has to win this game because MIA cannot play any worse. It is some of the worst basketball I've seen in a finals from a team with that much "talent".

[Latarian Milton]

buy him out already and allow him to join dallas & make up the quadruple D dynasty in dallas :cry

[DPG21920]

Focus Wade. Remember what it's like to win.

[DPG21920]

Bron has to take that one.

[benefactor]

Durant seems out of rhythm now.

[DPG21920]

Lebron is really gassed. He is getting burned by Durant right now off the dribble, but Bosh helping. Bron is reaching in too.

Paging Robin...

[ballhog]

Wade and 1!!!

[Darth_Pelican]

Focus Wade. Remember what it's like to win.

he heard you

[TIMMYtoZO]

Wade shitting on the haters. :lol

[Reck]

How was that off Durant? They dont even show a replay. :lol

[DPG21920]

I cant believe the difference in the game is OKC missing free throws :wow

That is so unlikely, damn.

[benefactor]

OKC with a bit of an uncharacteristic meltdown

[DPG21920]

Bron Bron.

[lurker]

Well, it was fun while it lasted. :lol

[ballhog]

Durant with 5. Lebron and 1

[Darth_Pelican]

5 on Durant, lead about to be 7

[baseline bum]

Epic choke OKC.

[Reck]

This should be game.

[WeNeedLength]

That Taliban motherfucker is choking so hard when he was like 100% shooting in the clutch against the Spurs. Fuck that shit.

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol Miami is just superior to OKC.
