Scott Brooks has been coached circles around in this game and Durant has turned it over again and again. This is a really weak performance by a team playing for their lives on their home court. At least so far.

That's what I don't get. Last year's Finals were so good. Three of those games ended up being classics. We've actually reached the point to where people hate a team so much you can't even enjoy good basketball? The Heat are becoming like the "Jordanian" Bulls. A basketball team that totally dominates is destructive for the NBA because basketball requires a lot of time, energy and money from fans. If fans don't think their teams have good odds of going all the way, it's going to be difficult to get them invested. Unlike Major League Baseball or NFL Football, however, there aren't nearly as many player variables. You can get a few strong players and you'll trample everyone for half a decade. On the whole, the sport will suffer because while the news media, bandwagon fans and Miami fans will be all over that, 9 out of 10 markets are going to be really downtrodden and start losing interest. And if you come from a market that suffers because of that team dominance, there's a good chance you're also going to resent the team that's prospering from it, which makes it really hard to enjoy their success.

And before that play Scott Brooks called a time out and Durant, who had a mismatch, actually looked like he balled his fist up.

Man, Duncan got away with a blatant illegal pick. That wasn't even close.

Ginobli is the MVP of the Spurs in my books.

OKC is in the same position as Pacers were in Game 5, they're struggling against a Tony Parker-less Spurs. I think they'll pull out tonight, but I get the feeling Game 7 is going to end in favor of the Spurs.

If the Thunder win this game it'll be another blowout.
