To put it as a paradox, a person that hits his hand once should learn the first time, but if he hits it twice, thrice or six times, then you know something is very wrong with him! For persons that still doesn’t know, maybe he just doesn’t know what is happening.

The first 3 came when James was left wide open, then the Thunder tried to send Durant, Thabo Sefolosha and finally Kendrick Perkins at him – all to no avail. Westbrook spent most of the second half guarding James.

”I thought we imposed our will, playing our style of basketball,” said Dwyane Wade, who had 13 points and eight assists before fouling out with 3:29 to play.

James had 39 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists, and narrowly missed extending his record-setting streak of high-scoring games combined with top-notch accuracy.James was in position to continue his NBA record run of games with at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting to seven, but missed from a couple steps beyond the 3-point line as the shot clock ran down with just over a minute left and Miami up 10. That dropped him to 14 for 24 in the game, or 58 percent. All that mattered to him, though, was that Miami’s winning streak reached a season-best seven straight games – and the Heat beat the Thunder for the sixth time in a row, dating to last year’s NBA Finals.

Chris Bosh chipped in 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who won the last four games of last season’s Finals after losing Game 1 in Oklahoma City and continued their dominance in the series after winning on their home court on Christmas Day.

It wasn’t enough to measure up against James, who beat him in last year’s MVP race and then the Finals before the two won a gold medal together at the London Olympics.

Ecerpts from JEFF LATZKE (AP Sports Writer) | The Associated Press

On the Thunder side, the mood was gloom and doom affair, with technicls and barkingat the official by their coach and players. It showed on their faces immaturity, which should have instead appeared seriousness to go back to work with more effort by actions.

When will Brooks get off his atyle of play and the commentators have long been telling that it is not working. The Heat have plastered Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook with blocks, flying to the floor, interceptions and hard fouls, guess what, even the referees were not taking their sides. It was played on the OKC court, still they didn’t get the calls their way, but it is not the Heats fault becuase the 2 all stars were not playing team basketball and were forcing their shots!

According to TNT’s Miller, LeBron James was the same way before he learned to give the ball to his teammates faster, in order not to telegraph the pass and shoot the ball when open, not forcing it everytime he gets the ball.

Erik Spoelstra was not a basketball player, he started with the Heat as a video guy and learned from Pat Riley as their coach. Riley handed the coaching stint to Erik when Pat knew its about time to give it up, when his players are noit anymore growing under his directions. Spoelstra became a good coach with his assistants when he grew in his job and won the championship last year. He knows that getting the Thunder down in the first quarter of the game could demoralize the team and that what has happened.

The Thundr 2 all stars and Brooks got shocked and awed that they hit the panic button and could not recover, but the only crazy thing is Brooks has not changed strategies for 6 straight games.

Brooks is just too stubborn to admit when he is wrong or has no idea what to do about it!!!

The heat rotates the all to open guys who posted themselves a the perimeter, spreading the floor and when the Thunder collapse on LeBron, he throws the ball to them. That’s why the Heat have Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, both former Sonics, f you don’t remember on the perimeter together with Battier, a 3-point specialist and let LeBron and Wade do all the roaming around and probing who gets to shoot the ball. Bosh is there patroling the paint area, trying to get the Thunder bigs out of the paint for James and Wade drive to the basket.

Many will again be writing me off here, that I am not a coach and Brooks made it to the finals and so on and on, but I have a different view of the game that I saw. The Thunder has a few assistant coaches who Brooks could ask their opinion. That is why there is this blog and the sports writers (media) who sit at courtside to express what has just happened to the Thunder’s game.

If anybody defers from what I just said, let’s hear your take on how the Thunder has lost the game 6 straight times. Maybe you got the answers and would want to hear them!
Lastly, I don’t believe that the Thunder will win the finals this year or maybe not even reach the finals!

I agree with Kenny same old game and same end result. Why bother see the game when the conclusion has been always defeat. The Thunder are not strong defenders. James had Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook, not sure if Perkins did defend him and they all failed miserably. If they double team James, he has several options to pick like; kicks it out to his perimeter shooters, pass it to Wade or Bosh who are cutting to the rim. I should not be telling these things, because I am only a spectator and not being paid as a professional coach!

The question is, will Sam, the brains Presti do something to elevate his teams chances going forward or stay with the same group that cannot defeat the Heat? Its his call and we just have to sit on our armchairs and watch because we have no stake on it except pay entrance fees.
