[@howardandrews9593]

18 to 2, wow, that's a hard start to come back from against a team of that caliber. To have a young and prime, Durant, Harden, Westbrook and Ibaka is a dream team, surprised they got handled the way they did. Harden and Ibaka was damn tooken entirely out of this series, they made hardly any noise at all, that's how the Heat were able to beat them the way they did, the Westbrook, Durant duo was not enough against the likes of Lebron and Wade

[@redt7452]

I agree. Plus Lebron was on a mission after playing so bad the finals before against dallas. Heat could’ve definitely had a 3-peat if Bron doesn’t play bad at the end of that mavs series

[@BRBallin1]

This OKC team is an example of a highly talented team with poor team-oriented execution.

[@lukeyost7566]

It's cause the OKC team was extremely young, and the Heat had the experience, just like how the experienced mavs beat the heat the previous season...

[@RJ_824]

Luke Yost heat coulda won they just didnt

[@Lutessa853]

Talented young OKC team with sub-par chemistry, agreed. Miami in 2012 was also a very good team. 12' Miami's big 3 is better than the current cleveland big 3. I always felt like OKC was missing a piece to become a championship team despite having so much talent. Maybe another 3-point shooter? Lebron James is also just that good. (He doesn't have to be a prolific scorer to win, he can drive in the paint and take contact, dish it out to 3-point shooters and easily defend.)

[@thamostgangsta12]

Luke Yost I wouldn't blame it on the youth. They had this team almost 3 years and the players realized their strengths and weaknesses. I think they just didn't know how to handle the heat and their 3 pointers. Also, a lot of western teams couldn't push the ball on the break like Miami.

[@srkucrickk]

The "young" excuse makes no sense. Westbrook averaged 23.6 ppg that season and Harden 16.8 ppg and 3.7 assists, not to mantion the 23 years old (almost 24) Durant and Ibaka were already at their peak. Put LeBron in that impressive Oklahoma team and Durant in that Miami team, and Oklahoma would have won.

How you gonna leave out literally the most important play of the game and the series...LeBron CLEARLY fouling Durant on the tying shot attempt with around 10 seconds left?

[@weneedhim526]

as a Kawhi fan, in my opinion, it was a foul, and it should have went to OT, would thunder have won? no, series pretty much stays the same, heat were just the better team, and thunder should not have let them even get up by 5, and beat them 4 straight, if they were deserving of the win, that wouldn't happen

[@weneedhim526]

I want to add that LeBron fouled Parker on the last shot of 2013 finals game 6 to put in the free throw line, and bosh fouled danny green on the game-tying shot, but did I complain that much? no, I admit that the heat were the better team, and they should not have let it get tied in the first place, its best that we accept defeat and move on
