hahaha. pero di pa rin nila nahabol ang lamang(muntik lang) at di nila natalo ang Heat ang ganda ng laban ng dalawang manok ko! Go Thunder! Go Heat!

Game 3 in Miami, Florida? When in Filipino date/time? I should have watched the game live so the Thunder would win because the difference between Games 1 & 2 was that I watched Game 1, the lucky charm was on me! Hahaha

Game 3 in US time is on Sunday, June 17, 8pm eastern time. Nuod ka para manalo ang Thunder!

Naku baka may hangover pa ko dahil weekend yan! Naglaro ako ng NBA 2k12 (updated rosters, no modified/created players) at nanalo ang Thunder vs. Heat in 5 games, parehas CPU controlled teams without human intervention.

Natalo Thunder kanina dahil sa lintek na referee. Durant while making a shot was fouled by LeBron in the last 7 seconds of the game which could have tied the game and possibly ending in OT but the referee didn't call the foul tapos to add insult to injury called a foul on Westbrook because LeBron ended up with the ball which gave LeBron 2 free throws which he made. Stretched the lead to 4 di na tuloy nakahabol. Kabwisit talaga. Bawi na lang next time. Hehehe...

What a cardiac game...Lebron escape with those clutch foul on Kevin Durant.

Then the biggest factor of this game is SHane Battier..from game 1 till now he did pretty will taking those outside shots since the 1st Quarter. Is this his first Finals appearance. Sorry, hindi ko mare-call yung 2010 season. He's playing like he's been there as much as Kobe and Fisher were.

Let's see if Shane can consistently hit those threes at Miami.

By the way, the crowd in Oklahoma is pumped up. Actually, that was the first time I see the Arena with two distinct colors, were fans wearing blue and white on the other side. Ang galing diba. Too bad, the next three games will be in Miami. Crucial games ahead.

P.S
Im watching the ABS-CBN telecast, and i dont like BOOM GONZALES covering the games. basta , ewan ko ba. mas gusto ko pa si Quinito Henson for this matter

It's time to build a new Boston Celtics around Rajon Rondo as the new team captain or else this team might face the same fate as Chauncey Billups' Detroit Pistons which tried so hard to gain another championship run but failed.

Rumor has it that Spurs will go after KG hard.

Miami was giving the game away.
5 point lead in 50 sec and possession of the ball.
They almost let it slip through their fingers.

Didn't like Lebron firing that 3 pointer near the end. He should have been attacking. Heat deserved to win that game. Seemed that they wanted that game more than OKC.

OKC in the last 3 games has started slow and just makes a comeback in the 2nd half. Good learning lesson for them that its a 48 min game not a 24 min game. That crowd was pumped up no way they should be starting slow in 1st 2 games of the finals.

I think, parehas lang may share ng bad calls from both team, though im not counting all. And napansin ko sir, parang soft talaga yung tawagan ngayong game 2.

I think cities that only have a Basketball team & no NFL/NHL/MLB teams tend to have much crazier fans

like Portland, Sacramento, Oklahoma, & maybe Utah/Salt Lake,

Chris Bosh's return to starting lineup boosts Heat
By Marc J. Spears | Yahoo! Sports – 8 hours ago

OKLAHOMA CITY – Chris Bosh and his wife, Adrienne, were the picture of contentment as they talked late Thursday in a hallway leading from the Oklahoma City Thunder's locker room. Kevin Durant walked past the couple, and he was not the picture of contentment. Eyes locked forward, disappointment on his face, Durant didn't even appear to notice the couple.

What Durant did notice: Bosh's impact on the Miami Heat as he returned to the starting lineup. Starting for the first time since he suffered an abdominal injury, Bosh totaled 16 points, a playoff career-high 15 rebounds and two blocks in the Heat's 100-96 Game 2 victory over the Thunder.

“I just wanted to be more aggressive coming out starting,” Bosh said. “I knew it had been a huge deal the past day or so. But that’s my comfort zone. That’s what I’ve been doing.”

What is the Thunder's answer to Chris Bosh since much focus was made on LeBron James and Dwyane Wade? Chris Bosh surely capitalized the fact that the Thunder's defensive pressure was on the All-Star Duo.

LeBron and Dwade can be contained but it's Battier and Bosh that's been the x factor for the Heat. I don't think the Thunder was expecting this two to be such difference makers given Battier's past performances and Bosh's recent injury. Now that they caught the Thunder's attention, let's see what adjustments the Thunder will make in game 3.

wala naman sana mapikon na Lebron James fan dito, just for kicks lang
At least that was not the case in Game 2.

On Monday, I can see the Thunder will be more desperate to win. In Game 3, baka sumentro ang defense nila kina Battier, Chalmers and maybe Miller( he is not yet explode in the last i think 5 games).

Honestly, im just wondering about sa commentary nila Boom Gonzales at TJ Manotoc na lucky ang panalo ng Heat on that Game 2. I dont really see the point either. It must have been the refs maybe.
