Heat need more from Wade and to restrict Westbrook more. They had good contributions from Chalmers and Battier standing up. Wade needs to be hitting over 25 for Miami to win. And Bosh needs to get closer to 20, but that's going to be harder with Ibaka and Perkins lurking. Wade has to lift. His aggressive driving and clutch mid-range shots are not happening lately.
Solid contributions all round for OKC. Certainly Miami were better for a bit over two quarters but in that time Durant was able to negate it as needed then the support came. Have to like their dynamic. I almost get the feeling the game where either Durant/James is sub-par or Wade/Westbrook goes ballistic is where the road win would happen. I'm usually a Bosh enthusiast but that Ibaka/Perkins duo in the paint is going to be hard for him to get past.

It all started with the depth, I think. Forget about Durant vs Lebron and Wade vs Westbrook (Wade has been really underperforming), the key to this series comes down to depth, and given how the Thunder have the Sixth Man of the Year, two players in the all defense teams, yeah...
Lebron really can't do it all in the series, he needs help. If Bosh needs to play more minutes, so be it because the other bigs can't match up.

The Thunder need to win the first 2 games to stad a chance aginst the Heat.
Here something may or may not happen , last year Lebron in the Final choked. The thing that killing the Heat is all those missed free throws. Epecially from D Wade. Wade underperforming is the reason many call D fade. I am not trying to say he is bad but he need to play better. I give Bosh a pass because he just a while ago came back from an injury.

In the NBA anything can and may happen. I as a Lakers' fan remembered what happened during the 2008 finals. I think NBA is probably the one sport where the fans can actually turn the tides in a game and the Thunders may have the best Fan base town.

More than fans, I think it's the way momentum swings so quickly in any given play, like how a dunk or a block can start a 10-2 run or something, or how a clutch 3 puts so much pressure on the opponent. Basketball is as every bit mental as it is physical. It's like baseball. You pitch well, and out of a sudden, once you let a homerun, you'll not have the same composure again.

I agree with you. The Heat got win but the Thunder prove to me that the can will stay in the game .
The Thunder need to win Game 3 and like I know they can. And ref's made pretty bad calls in this game. 1 was that block foul. Quote:

Many blames the referees which I say is a pretty good reason why. Heats came out with the win, no matter what happens things cannot change the past. I going for the Heats to win the series, because I am somewhat a little angry that the Lakers lost. As well I live in a Miami beach house and going to college there.

Even as a Heat fan, I'll admit there were some poor calls by the refs on both sides of the floor. Regardless, Miami deserved this win.
LeBron was amazing as usual, especially with his CLUTCH bank-shot and free throws. I hope he continues to attack the rim. Battier continues to drain big buckets. Plus, hHe's doing as good a job on KD as you can, considering the circumstances as well. Wade finally came through early in the game and played well for the most part. Finally, I have to salute Bosh for going 16 & 15. They're the enemy now, but it's still difficult to root against KD, Westbrook, Harden and company. Harden and Westbrook are two of my favorite ballers.

Thats so true they were up by double digit many times in this game and loss them .But I think that has more to do with the Thunder and their ability to stay in games .
But I will agree the refs made many bad calls .They need to study the rule book. Man are these guys drop outs of referee school.
