What can the king not do?

He can't shoot the ball in NBA Finals games.

He's one of the great underperformer's in NBA History, the only player I'm aware of who was MVP of NBA Finals who shot 12.5% or worse below his regular season average in 5 of 7 NBA final games.

This game would have to be considered a revenge matchup, with OKC winning the first game in Miami.  Durant is a one player show. If Westbrook gets the nod to start, his contribution will be limited, along with his minutes.....

this game is a gift @ +3.5 Miami Heat

OKC being    43-12 (3 more games played)
Miami being  38-14

I think the line of -3.5 is blown up to attract okc bettors since westbrook will be playing and "the servant" KD, as he would like to be called, is on a reap right now. Okc stands 1st in the West and Miami stands 2nd in the East. OKC giving up 3.5 to Miami is just too much imho and just calling out impulsiveness for OKC backers so beware. LeBron isn't bad himself either as of late. 

Miami +3.5 is the play here bol to all

OKC is Just the better team across the board.... lebron can put up 40 they will still lose... Dwayne is washed up.... Bosh is playing well but if there roll players don't step up OKC can easy Win this game by 20!! They beat Miami by like 15 the last time and also they was down 18 in the 1qtr... 

OKC -3.5

this is another classic case of what took place with the spurs the past couple of nights. for some reason people bought into the hype of portland and clippers. why? i have no idea. the heat do not have a chance tonight. they are playing in okc for starters. second, there is not a player in any uniform involved in this game that can check durant. hell its not a person in the nba that can guard him. leflop james tried and durant burned him for what 35 or 38? westbrook is due to come back so who is suppose to defend him? chalmers?! lol he is the worst starting point guard in the league. miami doesnt play enough defense to stop okc. last game they came back from 20 points down.. these home court fans are going to take the heat out of the game early. durant gets 14 or better from the charity stripe tonight. the rest he gets from leflop not having enough defense. 

okc by 5 or better

Miami started this west coast swing beating 1.Lob city then 2. golden St.  3.Mav´s,  4.playing the Thunder. out of those 3 teams Thunder is the better of the 3 teams have not played since before the all star break waiting on the heat to come to town ...last game Thunder played was against the Lakers (they lost 1h by 8 points..won the game by 4.

Any way I belive that the Thunder will be even more motivated then the heat.... and I am the biggest Heat fan...ever ..1000 bom on the thunder. GLA

Okc up 3 12 seconds left Lebron misses a 3 and then the heat foul with 3 seconds left.. Hits 2 and Thunder win by 5. Who knows???!! How is someone gonna sit here and tell me not to take the Thunder. Huge Lebron fan but If Durant wants people to recognize him as a legit threat to Lebron, tonight is the night! Even with Westbrook back he'll go for 40 and Thunder win/ cover. Look for Ibaka to play well also. But hey.. What do I know?!

perkins?? did u forget when these two teams played miami started the first quarter in a rout and brooks inserted lamb for perkins and went with the smaller line up that ended up blowing the heat out of the gym... brooks goes small again tonight and runs and guns tonight against the heat.....

Miami Heat need some kind of psychological advantage...If you listen to what LeBron's been saying he is clearly threatened and now that KD is almost at his level...eventually he will surpass him as the number 1 player in the league

I think the over would be the best play,game could go either way. But the over is going over.

I just see  KD the servant (what ever he wants to be called), a little bit bigger then last 2 years. I think his trainers told him to start eating his Wheaties if he wants to compete against the heat were they have been MAN HANDLED for the last 2 years. both teams want to make a statement both teams need to win.I give the edge to the Thunder because HEAT have not been home in awhile and  the FANS are going to go nutts and Scott brooks had a chance to get his team ready you know they were watching  that Mavs game the other night.

Frank-I liked your stuff earlier. This is a stat I was going to start a thread later but your thread is good.

This year the Heat have faced a team that had defeated them in their last meeting 23 times.The record for the Heat in these 23 "revenge games" is 22-1 SU.Miami doesn't forget and like the great Micheal Jorden ,motivation is where you find it.

I'm down Miami+3.5 gl

Westbrook won't play.  It is a losing deal for him to play tonight.  Let him come back under less pressure & make sure he is 100%.  If you read some of the news coming out you can see that OKC is not going to start him.  It is an all win situation if they do not whether they win the game or not.  Save him for the stretch drive and the play offs.

Miami takes more of the scrutiny than OKC does being they are the former champions and will get beat twice against the best team in the league.

You don't think that the line originally set at -4 was to get Miami money.? If they wanted equal money on both sides why set the line so high on a pk game

Perkins only played 5 minutes in the last game against Miami, and somehow manged a +/- of -13.
