RE: 2012 NBA Finals Discussion Thread: Miami vs Oklahoma City
I don't watch much NBA, but tonight it really looked like the Thunder wanted it more. The young, enthusiastic, hungry OKC team were flying around the court, they looked more athletic, had some awesome steals, showed more hustle, etc, but the young enthusiasm also showed in their defensive lapses and terrible shot selection as well. You could see it on Westbrook's face early on in the game.
Meanwhile, the Miami team didn't look that special, and he disappeared in the 4th again. They had a pretty pedestrian offense and outside of Lebron's physicality and OKC forgetting to guard Chalmers and Battier early on, just seemed like the typical veterans, they've been there before and it was just another game. Where was Dwayne Wade tonight?
Either way, adjustments will be made and Miami will be more prepared next time... that should be even more fun than this was.
