Does South Beach celebrate tonight or does OKC take this thing back Chesapeake Energy Arena?  I say Oklahoma City take a close one.

My heart says the Thunder are due for one of the three games in Miami and we all know Lebron has a hard time closing.  Thunder by 6.

I say the Heat close it out tonight in another close game. Think LeBron goes really hard in this one and has his best scoring game of the series.

Jlv, your hate of LeBron was always well documented, even before "The Decision". Bet this must be a tough time for you :'(

[Dale WorthingtonParticipant]

Yes, the Heat’s winning streak ends tonight.

OKC brings it back home to close it out.

R.I.P. Lebron.

its over.. bron critics are left with hairline jokes..nothing else..oh well there are kobe fans but we already know what they say

[KayjayParticipant]

Depends what Thunder comes out. Is it the Thunder that keeps on fighting, or is it the "already defeated" team we tend to see often at times of great distress. I also heard Harden has a bruised hand if that means anything.

Idk, I respect the Thunder too much to count them out.

LeBron single-handedly demolishes OKC tonight.  Wade finally shows up.  Bosh chips in a 15pt-11reb double-double.

Ill say Miami wins 98-89 and Bron gets one hell of an ovation as he walks off the court with 23 seconds left

It’s hard to bet against LeBron with the way he’s playing right now, but the Thunder are in every game.

I still feel like they’re beating themselves with the mental mistakes. The team I saw vs the Spurs have yet to show up in this series.

OKC should win tonight without Heat getting 10 extra free throws.  Also you hope their bench plays better at home.

I think Miami wins tonight in an extremely close game. After losing the way they did in the finals last year, I highly doubt Miami leaves anything to chance and will finish it off on the first try.

 I call the Heat.  The Thunder made a lot of shots they won’t consistenly continue to make in game 4.  They will need to make adjustments to continue to produce on offense.  I feel that the Heat’s offensive production of game 4 was more sustainable than the Thunder’s.  The Heat can continue to go to James in the post and slow the game down, while the Thunder can’t count on fade-away jumpers by Ibaka or Westbrook becoming ridiculously hot from the field.

The Thunder can win, though, if they get out in transition.  They need to prevent the game from being a half court slog.  If they get out in the open court and get easy buckets, the Heat may not be able to match their explosiveness.  Pushing the tempo not only will help Westbrook’s slashing, but it may also allow the Thunder to generate some clean looks for Durant.  

Harden also needs to play well for the Thunder, if they want to come back and win the series.  Their offense is not the most advanced in the world, so they need their top player’s to play well.  When he struggles, it puts too much pressure on Westbrook to create on every possession.  Westbrook has done a very good job so far this series, but it would challenge the Heat’s defense much more if they had to worry about both of the Thunder’s main playmakers.

 the thunder have done a terrible job of handling a questionable call in the series bad calls are gonna happen cant let them affect your game and the thunder have been 

[SubZeroParticipant]

If we finally start making some 3’s like we did in the San Antonio series, then I say we win. But it’s hard to win when we can’t hit a 3 while consistently shooting less free throws
