I did too, but I have to give credit to Lebron for his performance from the line, 100% on FTs for a guy who is usually dismal was a big step up. He was also pretty solid all round again. Think Bosh made a big difference as well, being a bit of a nuisance for OKC on both ends of the court, and Wade finally chipped in with a decent amount of points. Battier was brilliant from beyond the arc as well. Can't help but feel things might have been different if that call for a foul on Durant had been given (as it should have been) with only seconds left on the clock and OKC down by 2. Durant is so clutch, despite the fact they lost my favourite shot of the game was Durant for 3 with about 10-15 seconds left, he didn't just want the ball, he was screaming for it, and when he got it he didn't disappoint, it was nothing but net. I still think OKC in 6, I think that Miami played pretty much as well as they could the other day and just edged it, but OKC started very slow. If they can correct that, and not let themselves get too far behind in the first half (they were 17 points down at one point, and although their powers of recuperation are immense you can only go to the well so many times) I think they will win games down the stretch, Durant seems to save himself for the 4th quarter, facilitating for everyone else and then just taking over with 15-20 points in the last 12 minutes.
