Doubt has begun to creep all around these young OKC Thunder, who let a golden opportunity slip through their hands in Miami last night, and must now climb out of a hole against the surging Heat. In addition to shaky play late in the second half, and silly fouls throughout the game, the OKC Thunder seemed like they were trying [...]
We have one hell of a championship round on our hands, as the NBA Finals now shift to Miami for three consecutive tilts, following the Heat’s big Game 2 win last night.

Most observers — from the casual to the hardcore — figured that the Miami Heat would have a fight on their hands during these Eastern Conference Finals, but that they would eventually, and comfortably dispatch the Celtics on their way back to the NBA [...]
The Boston Celtics threw their best punch at the Miami Heat last night, and in the end, it simply wasn’t enough. The Heat survived a legendary performance from Rajon Rondo (44 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds), solid contributions from Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, and yes, benefitted from the referees’ whistles (Miami took 47 free throws, to Boston’s 29.) Everyone [...]
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the rest of their supporting cast felt comfortable on the basketball court last night, in leading the Miami Heat to an easy Game 1 victory over their archrivals from Boston.
