Picture

I see lol, I took a whole bunch of pictures that I didn't show... So i just used this one

It looks like this year's NBA Finals might just be better than last years, and after game's one and two at the Verizon Center -- it looks every bit like a exhilirating series.

Behind Jeff Greens 28 second quarter points (40 in the game), Westbrook's almost triple double 37 points -- the Thunder erased a 14 point deficit and overcame a scoring drought in the third quarter where they scored just four points in six minutes to come out of the third overtime with a 157-154 win.



Both teams would just not give up, the Wizards looked like they had it clinched, but in the final 1.1 seconds the Celtics drew level to send it to overtime, then with just a second left in the first overtime the Celtics intercepted a long pass and scored with just miliseconds to bear to send it to a second overtime, eventually the Wizards fatigue kicked in and the Thunder craweled out of the Verizon center with a close fought victory.

The Wizards gave the Thunder all they could handle, Josh Howard netted a career high 41 points, John Wall went 14 of 42 on field goals for 35 points and chipped in with 14 assists and Andray Blatche recorded a triple double scoring 13 points, recording 12 rebounds and assisting 10 other baskets.

They too wiped off many deficits, but in the end the Wizards grew tired and missed most of the baskets in the opening three minutes of the third overtime that led to their demise.

"It's frustrating with the loss," said Howard in the post-game press conference interview. "We thought we had it, it was a great game, kudos to the Thunder, they gave everything they had at us, we threw everything back, it's definitley going to be a great series, two of the best teams in the business, I can't wait for game three."

"It's not the greatest feeling in the world losing your second game," said Wall, "Now we have to go to their court, play some, it's going to be difficult we would of liked to have gone to their court with a sweep at the start."

That sweep never came as the Thunder scored 104 points in the paint and successfully converted 67 of their 129 field goals (51%) whilst the Wizards went 67 of 140 (47%). "I thought we defended a lot better in this game than in the past," said Wizards coach Flip Saunders. "The score doesn't reflect how our defense played, they played well."

The Washington Wizards will travel to Oklahoma to play the next three games in the series in Oklahoma and if necessary, they will return back to Washington for games 6 and 7.

Notes: Wizards forward Al Thornton sprained his wrist and is likely out for 1-2 weeks, with less than 2 weeks of play-offs left, it likely means Thornton is done for the season.

Oh man. That's gotta be heartbreaking! Now you'll need to steal a game or two in OKC. Wall had a pretty inefficient game.

OMG man, that must be one of the best NBA Finals games ever.

OKC

@ lamrock... yeah he was shooting well below his average %... but now i have found the right sliders i think.

@ thierry... ha yeah it's been great, i should of won if i didn't screw up twice, but i could of been 2-0 down... now i gotta go into into their arena and at least win a game to have a chance in game 6 and hopefully 7.

@kd#35 boooooooooooooooooo lol

Thanks man, your association is very good

Going to play game 3 in just a few minutes... I wonder if it's going to be just as close as the past two games lol

I would pay to be in your place for that game. EPIC!

The 2011 NBA Finals series continues to be compelling and exhiliratingly awesome.

This time the Thunder came out with the close win, after the Wizards scored with 3.3 seconds left on the clock, the Thunder passed the ball to Jeff Green who nailed his third three pointer of the game as the Oklahoma City Thunder took a 2-1 series lead with a 106-105 win over the Washington Wizards tonight.



The Wizards managed to contain Westbrook finally, but Kevin Durant broke out with 37 points and was on the field for the majority of the game (42 mins.) "We tried to stop him," said Wall, who spend less than half of Duran'ts time on court due to five personal fouls. "We played well, we just need to stay away in the final seconds."

Josh Howard and John Wall top scored with 18 points, Wall recorded 7 assists and stole the ball away from Westbrook 3 times, who turned the ball over a play-off high 8 times.

The Wizards scored 46 of their 99 shots (46%) and the Thunder almost the same went 44 of 98 (44%) but as most sports go, stats don't tell the whole story, especially how the Thunder kept coming back from long deficits.

Wall is referring of course to Green's 1.1 buzzer beater shot, which he took from the left-hand side. That wasn't the first time Green took the three pointer, he took 3 more from the same position, all in the final quarter, one with nine minutes left and the last three in the last four minutes of the game.

"It was a sloppy game," said Wizards coach Flip Saunders, the Wizards turned the ball over 8 times and the Thunder 20, but passes were intercepted all over the court. "If there was one good thing about this game," continued Saunders. "It was the fact that we only let them steal the ball four times, we should of took this game, were dissapointed and were looking to tie the series up in the next game."

"We have areas to improve on," said Wizards guard Keyaron Dooling. "We only had two offensive rebounds, they had nine so I guess we can improve on that areas, were doing some things good, nobody even expected us to be in this situation at the start of the season, we wern't even suppose to make the play-offs."

The Wizards wern't suppose to make the NBA Finals at all, but if they fix up their problems, they might actually bring their third championship back to the nations capital.
