It's still an impressive effort. It's not like you went 77-5 with over 50 wins in a row or anything. :shifty:

(I too will be looking at making some tweaks there.)

Thunder and Heat to meet in NBA Finals for third straight season

Image

It's the match-up that most people were predicting before these playoffs got started. Now it's official; Thunder vs Heat Vol. III.
Amazingly, yet somehow unsurprisingly, the two emerging rivals will face off for the game's biggest prize for the third straight season.
With the Thunder taking the honours on the two previous occasions, Miami will be in no need for any motivation ahead of this series.

NBA Finals preview

Image

1. Oklahoma City [68-14] vs 1. Miami [63-19]

Image Image

It's becoming tradition for Oklahoma City and Miami to meet in the NBA Finals these days. For the third straight season they will face-off for the title.
The Thunder have the bragging rights from the first two encounters and will go in favourites given the 25 game winning streak they are currently on.
They finished the season with a 13 game winning run and have swept Dallas, San Antonio and Portland these playoffs to reach this stage.
Miami on the other hand have lost four games on their way past Detroit, Orlando and New Jersey. But they are more then ready for this challenge.
They have been waiting almost a year for this and will not let a few extra games disrupt them from their ultimate goal of winning a championship.

In a way this is the series that we had to have. In the past three seasons these two teams have been several classes above everyone else.
The Thunder have won an amazing 241 of their last 298 games (81%), whilst the Heat aren't far behind with 223 of their last 300 (74%).
In the last three seasons the Thunder have finished with records of 62-20, 67-15 and 68-14. Miami have had 59-23, 61-21 and 63-19.
And more proof of the closeness of the growing rivalry would be the regular season games over the past three years.
They've played each other twice per season in the last three years and have split the season series 1-1 each time.

There are many side stories in this series. The Lopez twins going head to head and former Thunder players like Krstic and Law lining up for the Heat.
Then there are the veteran guys like Grant Hill, Allen Iverson and Shaquille O'Neal on the Thunder bench looking for one last chance at getting a ring.
Not to mention the biggest ring-chaser of them all LeBron James. Since his move from Cleveland he has fallen short of an elusive ring twice.
A heart-warming story that could easily be forgotten is that of local hero Blake Griffin suiting up in the NBA Finals for his hometown team.
Oklahoma City only have 2 players left from the 2010 series and 4 from last year. Miami have 6 from the 2010 series and nearly everyone from last year.

We all know how the starters match up against each other, so it may well come down to how the bench guys perform against their opposite numbers.
George Hill vs Mario Chalmers, Marvin Williams vs Travis Outlaw, Andrea Bargnani vs Robin Lopez. They could be decisive battles during this series.
Especially for Miami given that no-one outside of their 'big three' is averaging double figures for scoring, compared to the Thunder's five players.

I like the Finals preview. Your team's interior D's a little weak, but it looks like a lot of fun to use.

Close call in Game 4 of the WCF, but a sweep is a sweep. Glad to see the Heat back for the third year in a row, that adds a certain something to the Dynasty I think. As I said before, they're becoming Jerry West's Lakers to your Bill Russell's Celtics.

What a game by Griffin! Tremendous start to the series, just three wins away from three in a row. How many points did LeBron score in the fourth quarter?

Not quite sure, why? None of their players really contributed much in the last quarter. :cheeky:

Seeing how lacklustre the fourth quarter was for them, I just wondered how much of a role LeBron played. After all, that was one of the stories of his real life Finals appearance this past season.

NBA Finals review

Image


Image

1. Oklahoma City [68-14] vs 1. Miami [63-19]

Image Image

Many thought that Oklahoma City were likely to beat Miami in the Finals for the third straight season, but no-one would have dared predict a sweep.
But that's exactly what the Thunder managed to do, against a team that had only lost 23 games this season before this series no less.
In doing so they have achieved something special. They are the first team in NBA history to win the championship without dropping a single game.
The Thunder join the Bulls and Lakers as three-peat champions in the last two decades. Worryingly for the competition they are still a young side.
Durant and Lopez are 24, whilst Griffin, Westbrook and Harden are just 23 years old. They certainly have a bigger window than Miami.
For Miami, their 'big 3' experiment has been successful so far without winning anything. They may look to change some things in the off-season.



Thunder Rings
Of the 34 players involved in Oklahoma City's championships over the past 3 seasons, only Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have played in them all.

3 rings
Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook

2 rings
Shannon Brown, Serge Ibaka, Byron Mullens, Brook Lopez, James Harden

1 ring
Erick Dampier, Jeff Green, OJ Mayo, Jamario Moon, Nenad Krstic, Acie Law, Daequan Cook, Patrick O'Bryant, Sasha Vujacic,
Brook Lopez, Al Horford, Corey Brewer, Wesley Matthews, Hasheem Thabeet, Sonny Weems, Ronald Murray, Rocco Roe, Blake Griffin,
Shaquille O'Neal, Ryan Gomes, George Hill, Allen Iverson, Andrea Bargnani, Marvin Williams, Grant Hill, Al Cunningham, Eric Bledsoe

Congratulations on the 3-peat and the undefeated run through the postseason. On that note i'll leave you with a Bill Walton quote, "This Oklahoma City Thunder team will go down in lore as the most dominant team of the 20th and 21st century in all of professional sports."

Thanks. The first couple of series weren't that difficult really, but once I reached the conference finals against the Blazers it was quite challenging. I could have easily lost a few games if it weren't for several comeback performances.

I like the angle of that last vid, feels like I'm in the arena too and part of the crowd.

I like to mix up the camera angles sometimes when the default ones don't seem quite right.

Thanks. (Y)
