They've only got this year and next. They can't afford Harden after his rookie contract
just condense the paint & prevent them s from drivin in, even though that means leaving them all wide open outside of the 3pt line. s ain't hitting all shots at the 3pt line, it was their scores in paint that ripped our ass apart tbh

^ this year is locked for miami and next year for dallas & Triple D, OKC are deep and stacked but they ain't winning ship the way they play. mavs & miami will dominate the league 2010-2020 just like the celts - lakers rivalry in the 1980s tbh
that won't stop them from getting paid
Their weakness is the fact they have no offensive threat at PF or C, so the PF and C on the other team can worry more about helping/limiting penetration. When Udonis Haslem is your starting C though and is shorter than Durant then you have no way of exposing said weakness.
This is an epic thread. When Miami wins this series, I am going to have the last laugh.
I just can't see Miami failing. They have come too far. They lost last year in their first season together. They are ready this season. I just can't see OKC winning this series. I believe in Miami. There is just no way Miami comes up short. Not after all that they have been through.
Because I believe in my team. I just don't see anyone stopping them. I felt this way about the NY Giants even when they were 6-6 and down 34-22 with 5:30 left in the 4th vs the Cowboys.
I don’t think the Heat can play any better than they did last night…I kept thinking that the Lakers will never beat Oklahoma until these guys become free agents & move on…
Wade and Bosh certainly can do and should play better. They were both ing last night.
By the time Ibaka/Harden are RFA's, Kobe will be 35-36, and not an elite player anymore.
And they can match any offer since they would only be RFA's if they get to that point, i think we'll sign one of them though before then.
Timmytozo said that the Rangers would lose the World Series while they were one out away in the ninth.
Timmytozo said that the Giants would win the Super Bowl after they lost their first game to the ing Redskins(lol Grossman) last year.
Time to stop questioning the dude.
OKC can amnesty Perkins if they need to in order to keep both Harden and Ibaka, however they probably shouldn't have given Westbrook the max. I know Perkins' veteran presence/size/blah blah blah is important, but Ibaka is still 22 and imo can still become a bigger threat on offense. His jumper is money these days and he had a few good moves off the dribble yesterday. He's still raw and scratching the surface with his potential.
If they can lock Harden & Ibaka up long term, Presti is more than capable of keeping them this good for years to come with late 1st round picks/what they already have. If Fab Melo is available when they pick this year that gives them Perkins' long term replacement.
I just want Durant & Westbrook in LA....Why develop talent when we can just steal somebody else’s...
Nice to dream, both stay in OKC and contend for les while LA goes into a downspiral for this decade.I just want Durant & Westbrook in LA....Why develop talent when we can just steal somebody else’s...
Yeah, if they want to keep both, they probably could. I agree on Ibaka which is why i'd probably keep him if i had to choose given you don't find many skilled bigs like him with his shot-blocking ability.
We also got Cole Aldrich who could make a big impact next year, along with Tibor Pleiss who could help out next year, skilled 7-footer plus we get Maynor back as well.
If OKC wins the le, do you think Oklahoma City will riot because they shot up Thunder alley just off a playoff win, god knows what will happen when they win the ship. Laker fans will have been beaten
They have some adjustments to make, they certainly can play better.
For one they have to start Bosh, it doesn't make any sense to keep him on the bench.
For two, Spo needs to stop ing around about guarding KD, this is Lebron's job. Lebron D talent wasted on guarding Perkins
For three, I can't imagine Wade not going to step up during the serie
Finally, Miami has to stop the iso O bs in the fourth, this is going to kill them. They have to move the ball.
Pretty much^, but you have to question Mia bc they often settle even after they see what works (drives by Bron and Wade, penetrate and kick offense....). For some reason (fatigue, injury, mental lapses) they don't do these things at times
You can't drive all game long though w/o getting gassed...especially with the physicality of Perkins and Ibaka down low.
Is he going to get his knee drained again? Maybe he'll be able to play well for 2-3 games afterward.
LOL @ someone with your avatar calling anyone a got.
Anyway...I didn't see them being able to stop LeBron, but they can. OKC will win this and the next 4 or 5 les, too. Bank that hardcore, .
Lakers are DONE for the rest of the decade, minimum. Bank that , too, .
