Ok my pick is OKC because I don't care for the Heat. I like James and wade but just don't care for the team much at all. Go Thunder!

Who else is picking OKC?

I love how Kevin Durant is the second best player in the league (possibly the best if they win this series), yet he has none of the entitled, diva-like attitude that all the other superstars have. For example, when LeBron was asked about winning titles and he did his famous "we're going to win not one, not two, not three, not four, etc etc". Ummmmm, how about you win your first one? How's that idea?

So yeah, OKC all the way.

If the Heat don't win, they become a bigger joke than the bobcats.

Oh the bobcats :( Jordan is by far my favorite player ever, but he is one fluffty owner! It is also a fair assisment that the Heat have all the pressure in the world to win, I mean afterall they did try to build a "dream team" to win. Isn't that why king James left Ohio? Where's the ring bud!

Yeah I was fine with the Spurs losing because I didn't think they were good enough to beat the Heat. Tim Dunkin is deff one of my fav players. That dude has been playing consistently good his entire career, and never makes a big deal about himself.

tbh I have my doubts about OKC beating the Heat. Better supporting cast, but the Heat's "big 3" is still much better. Westbrook is severely overrated.

Looking at the age of the Thunder, if they opt to keep that core, that team will be dominant in the next 4-6 years!

Mess with me you better kill me, or I'll just take your pride & joy and jack it up

Yeah, Westbrook would be a star anywhere else. I think he's underrated. Reminds me of Scottie Pippin. Pippin stuffed the stat sheet every night and was one of the league's elite players, but is only remembered for being Robin to Jordan's Batman.

Once Westbrook starts shooting the ball more efficiently and not jacking up so many bad shots, he's going to be a more athletic Rondo.

Rondo passes better:) and gets more assists

13-3 in their last 16 games vs Dallas Lakers San Antonion and the Heat

That'd pretty Dominant:) 3 wins to go!

Bulls fans and diehards might know, but when most people talk about the great players of the 90s, you rarely hear Pippin's name. You'll hear all about Jordan, Olajuwon, both Stockton and Malone, Barkley, Reggie Miller, David Robinson, Ewing, etc. Pippin usually isn't mentioned by the casual or even somewhat dedicated NBA fan. If he is, it has something to do with Jordan. He's never really judged on his own merit.

Maybe I've just talked to ignorant NBA fans. Everyone where I'm from hates the NBA and cares only about college ball. I've always liked the NBA better.

Servant: OKC deserves to be in the finals but not with that record. Refs decided so many close games for them (Spurs and Mavs series), though game 3 vs LAL was basically given to the Lakers.

Harden is better than Westbrook... Westbrook is a good player but life is so much easier when the other team have one player completely ignoring everything else to guard Durant and a double on many possessions whereas Westbrook gets single coverage. People say Westbrook is better than Parker even though Parker outplayed him in the series despite not having a Durant to draw attention away from him. IMO the Thunder players should be ranked Durant, Harden then Westbrook.

Can't stand Harden, but I have a lot of respect for KD. Pulling for the Heat though, always been a LBJ fan. Love watching him play.

Well the Thunder lost last night... It was a good game up until the end. I personally thing that they could have called a foul on that last shot but meh he should have made it anyways.

Let's see how they can do in the Heat's home.

Indeed. Does the fact that they didn't play too well and were in it until the last seconds of the game say anything! They have a chance if they step up to win. They can beat the Heat but they'll need to play better.

One thing Pippen rarely gets credit for is the year MJ retired when he stepped up to assume the leadership void and then when MJ came back he let MJ resume that role without complaining and you did not ever hear of any friction or complaining about his respect.

Thunder need to give the ball to Durant early and get out of the way. Slow starts have been killing them. I'll be upset if after the first quarter KD is 2-3 and Westbrook is 3-13.

Dear Harden,

You look like a dumbass.

Dear Heat Fans,

Stop complaining about calls. Most of them go your way.

Harden needs to stop flopping so obviously, refs watch the tape and they won't give him anything if he pisses them off enough.

And Heat fans haven't been complaining about refs PP .. that's OKC fans

OKC fans have a reason. There was a sequence in the last game where replays showed like 4 Heat fouls that weren't called, then there was a call against the Heat and the fans started a "Refs you suck" chant. Pathetic.

Home team always gets the calls, I see very little discrepency in FTs and bad calls this series. And I've seen the Heat handed a game by the refs (Boston game 2) and OKC handed a game by the refs (Spurs game 6)

And that crowd chant was after a Harden flop on Haslem that they wouldn't even show the replay for because it must have been that embarassing
