OKC would not have beaten Miami in 2013 or 2014

[Budadiiii]

Durant only has to win 1 ring to be considered GOAT.

1 ring with Scott Brooks is equivalent to like 8 regular rings

OKC are so fcking cheap it's disgusting, he's one of the worst coaches in the NBA.

so itt, everyone has decided to ignore that OKC played the Spurs closer than any opponent in last year's playoffs (even without Ibaka for 2 games), while the Heat got beat worse than any team ever has?

OKC crushes the Heat last year, just like Houston, Portland, Dallas, Clippers and Golden State would have.

Styles make fights, and OKC's style in the past three years made them a favorable match up for the Heat.

.. this isn't boxing - but you are willing to liken the two sports in your mind in order to satisfy your bias.

this isn't boxing - your post reveals that you would liken the two sports in your mind in order to satisfy your bias.

He may be biased, but EVERYONE is biased, whether we like it or not

He does make a good point though, in basketball its all about matchups

Um, except it IS about Matchups..

And Dallas came closer to beating Spurs than OKC, ALOT closer.

OKC got BLOWN OUT in 3 of their 4 losses.

oh come on, after we all watched the Heat get completely obliterated by the Spurs, you know damn well that you wouldn't put one penny of your own money on the Heat over OKC.

that would be the dumbest bet ever, and you know it.

stop babying lebron and his teams... it's cringeworthy.

Since when did I talk about Heat or OKC?

Anyone who doesn't think that OKC would have beaten Miami last year guaranteed and most likely in 2013 is retarded.

The real finals last year came in the WCF.

So Durant now 0-2 in the finals?

he's 0-1. 2012 is the biggest asterisk finals win since 2006.

[Megabox!]

Yea that 2012 WCF was a disgrace. The refs totally screwed over the Spurs

So what idiot? Every team is different. Just because OKC played well against Spurs doesn't mean they could beat the heat.

It's all about match-ups and the way teams are built. What killed the heat in the finals was Spurs" ball movement. Heat-Okc finals would have been a totally different story if it happened. OKC doesn't have that kind of ball movement.

Considering your low iq and lack of basketball knowledge, I'm not surprised with your dvmb comments.

Saying that the Heat wouldn't make the playoffs in West just takes your stupidity to a whole another level.

Close minded fvck.

i might agree if the difference wasn't so severe - the Heat lost to the Spurs worse than anyone has ever lost, but OKC was missing Ibaka for the first two games and still took the Spurs to the 2nd overtime of game 6.

to ignore these factors is bias of the worst, cherry-picking kind.
