How would you rate these Finals in terms of entertainment?

[Donkeybong]

Do you find it boring, mediocre or fun to watch?

[baseline bum]

Pretty good other than the OKC choke-jobs.

[DeadlyDynasty]

The only people who would find it boring are those bitter spurfans who still cry about the WCF.

[VBM]

Fun to watch. All of the games have been close, which is all you can ask for in a series where your team isn't playing. Would be nice if OKC sent it back home, but LeBron's gettin' crowned on Thursday.

This is basically a short break down of what happens in each game. The Thunder get a big or decent size lead in the 1st half. The lead eventually fades away as a result of the Thunder playing scared and bitching to the refs. The Heat also continue to rape the rim and get to the free throw line because the Thunder can do nothing to stop them. Both teams keep it close til about the last minute of the game and the Heat usually win by a possession or two.

I find it awe inspiring...watching Bron finally playing up to his capabilities is like watching Jesus Almighty perform a miracle...Im a believer

Don't paint with such a broad brush. I take offense to that as a bitter Spurs fan.

:lol that is not what has transpired at all. MIA has gotten the big leads with the exception of today (and game 3, but they led).

08 finals was the greatest fun to watch tbh, many hollywood stuffs like pierce's miraculous return after suffering the injury which looked so serious. rivas getting drenched in orange juice was also one of the many flashes to be remembered from that series

It's been great so far.

Then Garnett had to make shit awkward with that "anything is possibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" rant

It's been fun to watch, but I wish OKC held off for a win tonight so that the series goes 6 or 7 games. That stretch where Bron went down in the 4th and Durant made a couple buckets I thought would be enough, but LeBron was fine and Westfaggot made a series of horrible decisions and that was that.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Its been fun to watch its up their with the 03 05 07 finals

[Jacob1983]

How can a Spurs fan root for Lebron? I don't get it.

[Juggity]

How can a Spurs fan root for Lebron? I don't get it.

He's a dominant player on both ends of the court, at the absolute prime of his career. What's not to like? He's mostly shed the cockiness, dealt with his failures and looks poised to claim a title he probably deserves, given how hard he has worked for it.

[Crookshanks]

Can't rate it because I haven't watched one single minute out of protest for what happened to the Spurs.

[Venti Quattro]

Can't rate it because I haven't watched one single minute out of protest for what happened to the Spurs.

So what's the use of your post if you're only going to say you can't rate it because you haven't watched? Its worth is just as good if you haven't posted at all.

[ElNono]

If you like wrestling, it's been pretty good, tbh...

[AussieFanKurt]

Boring

[TE]

It's been great, tbh.

[Banzai]

Haven't really followed the series..an after tomorrow I'll definitely avoid the game lol.

[baseline bum]

I never understood the "I'm not watching because the team with my city's name on the jersey isn't in it" sentiment. If you don't like the sport of basketball, why watch the Spurs? None of them knows or gives a shit about you. I mean, San Antonio could land the greatest soccer team in the world and win every game and I wouldn't give a shit, because soccer sucks. So why be a Spurs fan if you don't like professional basketball?

Well that and the Spurs don't have their city's name on their jerseys.

[TIMMYtoZO]

It has been good but not great (from a basketball standpoint) because this series has never been in doubt for Miami. OKC can't adjust to come back. Their D isn't very good, Harden is getting exposed, and they aren't playing an old team for the first time in the 2012 playoffs. These are trends that just won't end. OKC's only hope is for Miami to beat themselves. :lol

[DPG21920]

Anyone catch Woj's article on Bron? Pretty awesome read. That 3 was huge - big moment for him - although it's still hard to believe he cramped up in the biggest moment of his career. I was hard on him in the moment, but came back and said I was ultimately too hard on him. He's played amazing these playoffs/finals.

[Killakobe81]

All 3. Durant and Lebron (especially James) have been amazing. At times both mediocre (especially Durant) Lebron has only had a few lapses. Watching Harden shoot has been the definition of mediocrity. And when OKC has the ball with both or either Durant or Westbrook onthe bench it has been boring. Pluses include:

1. Lebron in the post. he always has been somewhat effective but awkward. He had 3 sweet post moves last night, which could signal the end of the league, tbh.

2. Battier. I hate that Oreo's shit eating grin, but he is playing like Horry in this Finals making big shots and taking key charges or grabbing huge rebounds

3. Wade in flashes (ha, ha) makes those sweet floaters and amazing blocks. his defense is overrated but he is the best shot-blocking guard since Mike Cooper. Coop's were prettier but I think Wade has more.

4. Westbrook making a team with 3 stars and elite athletes look slow. When Russ accelerates it's like pressing turbo in a video game. and then his lefty finish is sublime.

5. Durant when he is on, his stroke is so pure.

6. I was once a shotblocker so I loved seeing Collison and Ibaka meet Wade and Lebron at the rim, great stuff.

7. the heat defense is VERy good. If they had a better big man they could be 2008 Celts, 2004 Pistons, 72 win Bulls or Bad Boy Piston good.

8. Lebron one more time. To see him come close to maximizin his gifts should b a joy for any true sports fan.

[Killakobe81]

And though he has been mostly shitty, i was right about Chalmers. Guy has huge balls and is not scared of the clutch.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Crofl Harlem you are on crack

2009 2010 finals among the best since Jordan?

there is absolutely nothing that can be said to properly address such a ridiculous claim


Yeah, everyone enjoys finals like 09 in which everyone knew what would happen
Or 10 when Perkins was out for game 7 and it was painfully obvious even with Kobe choking thur Celtics were screwed

[bus driver]

Shitty




+1 because OKChoke is doing a shitty job at representing the West.
Shit the spurs, lakers or even the mavs could have done better than 1 game.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'd say these finals have been extremely entertaining

[DPG21920]

It's not like okc is getting destroyed. Yes, it's 3-1, but every game has been competitive and really hard fought with some amazing plays.

[DPG21920]

Couple of interesting stats:


@johnschuhmann: Prior to '12 playoffs, Westbrook had 7+ mid-range FG 4 times in 335 games. In '12 playoffs, he has 7+ mid-range FG 4 times in 19 games.

:tu That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about why the Heat are winning this year.

Pretty good actually.
