Kevin Garnett of the Celtics had been troubling the Miami Heat&apos;s inside game during the Eastern Conference Finals (partially due to the absence of Chris Bosh). Bosh is fully healthy for Game 7, and he has a great jumper for a big man, so Spolestra plants him in the corner during the crucial 4th quarter of Game 7. Bosh hits three 3-pointers, forcing KG out of the paint to cover him. This is perfect for the Heat&apos;s isolation offense, as it rotates 6&apos;7&quot; Paul Pierce into the paint. Lebron/Wade spend the rest of the game driving on Pierce, while Bosh and KG hang out in the corner. Game over.&lt;p&gt;2. Serge Ibaka is an excellent shooter given his playing style (big shot-blocking men often shoot poorly unless your name is &quot;Kevin Garnett&quot; or, to a lesser extent, &quot;Tim Duncan.&quot;) Brooks knows he shoots well, and runs both Ibaka and Perkins for extended minutes during Game 4 of the West Finals against the Spurs. The Spurs only have an aging Tim Duncan defending the paint, and his focus on Perkins means Ibaka makes all 11 of his shots, many in that troublesome midrange area. The Thunder take Game 4 before taking two more to advance.&lt;p&gt;This series will be incredible. Two teams equally matched in skill and coaching acumen. Can&apos;t wait.</text><parent_chain><item><author>marknutter</author><text>Not sure how many of you are basketball fans, but if you have even a cursory interest in the sport I suggest you check out this year&apos;s NBA finals.

LeBron, likely fueled by all the criticisms about his ability to perform in the clutch and his will to win, appears to be on a mission to prove everybody wrong and finally win his first championship. To put it in perspective, facing elimination in game 5 versus the Celtics, LeBron put on one of the best playoff performances in history scoring nearly half his team&apos;s points (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nba.com/games/20120607/MIABOS/gameinfo.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.nba.com/games/20120607/MIABOS/gameinfo.html&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;p&gt;The series will be on ABC so you don&apos;t need cable to watch it.

While those who weren&apos;t Sonics fans tend to enjoy the way the Thunder play and the humility of KD, a lot of Sonics fans who watched the Clay Bennett saga and read the leaked e-mails are quite bitter.  It was similar in heart-wrenching status in Seattle to &quot;The Decision&quot; in Cleveland.</text><parent_chain><item><author>marknutter</author><text>Not sure how many of you are basketball fans, but if you have even a cursory interest in the sport I suggest you check out this year&apos;s NBA finals.
