THE MEGA POWERS EXPLODE: Heat vs Thunder thread

[LeVraiPapi]

I loved the tech, that's what men do when they get cheated

Westbrook flopped. He should have passed the ball on the previous play when Martin was wide open breh breh


Y all should trade him while he still hot

The Heat are just an awful matchup for the Thunder, they need to make a move for Jefferson if they want any hope of beating that team if they see each other in the finals. I love how the NBA works out with matchups, the Thunder can buzzsaw through the West but the one team that gives them a ton of trouble is the team they'd have to play for the title.

Thunder should have retained Harden. I don't understand why our 6th man is gone. Did he hate OKC that much? A tumbleweed can be a friend. ( ._.)

Where does Harden play now? Iono! *crying* He gets money & women, but the Thunder need his bearded efforts. :'-( COME BAAAAAACK!!!

I've been saying that sh!t since last season. I'm still shock many thought my home team that has a deeper pool of talent expect to lose to a three-man team.

if we are going to continue using the same strategy of perkins and ibaka together as if they're offensive threats yea i agree we will never beat them. Miami lineup genuinely feature just one big man(power forward) and four wing players which allows them to dictate tempo on all ends of the floor( and trap everything on the perimeter). Spoelstra coached circles around brooks yesterday, literally toyed with him perkins had 0 minutes against the legit big man on their roster in joel anthony once perkins would come out joel would come in brooks has no clue what he's doing.

I think the biggest issue is that when the Heat go small they become more physical than the Thunder's small lineup. While the Heat are a small team, they are really physical, and that becomes more apparent when the Thunder try to match down. There's just nobody on the Thunder that can make the Heat pay for playing small like that. I feel the Thunder need either a PG off the bench that can break down the D, or a big man that can score in the post to start next to Ibaka. Perkins gives yall virtually nothing against a small team like the Heat, against the Lakers or Grizz he's valuable.
