Slammed it on OKC last night.
Watching the game last night, OKC was not playing like OKC in the 1st half. The 2nd half OKC was playing like OKC who beat Dallas, who beat the Lakers, and who beat the Spurs like they were a college team. The coach made the needed adjustments in the 2nd half. Once the game was tied and OKC took the lead in the 3rd, the look on the Heats faces were looking scared after it got tied and looked like they knew they lost the lead and would lose the game.
The heat will play a lot harder in game 2, but if OKC plays like they did in the 2nd half of game 1, OKC will blow them out. If OKC plays game 2 like they did in the 2nd half... OKC will win by 20 no matter how good Miami big 3 plays.
The difference between OKC and the Thunder is huge. When Scott Brooks speaks, the team listens. When Erik speaks, the team looks away with no respect and doesn’t listen to what he sees on the court. I can only imagine when the Heat are watching film... if any of them are listening to the coach?
Miami is a team brought together for mostly looks. Thunder is a team built to win from scratch.
