re: Any chance at all for the Thunder in this series?

honestly why?

miami played pretty bad in game 3 and still won without relatively much resistance.

in game 4, RW had to score 40+ to even give okc a chance.

okc has had one good game this series and they have huge mismatches when attempting to defend lebron.

True. But I think with the Thunder's depth and versatility, they have more than enough talent to beat Miami. Harden (you have to think there's a good chance he decides to play some basketball soon, besides his game 2 start), Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka... all are very good-great players. Keep in mind, out of the four games, only one was not in doubt in the final minute, and that was the Thunder win. All of Miami's could have went the other way with a few breaks for OKC (I don't mean this as a "woulda, coulda, shoulda" for the past or to make an excuse, I mean this just to say that even in the Heat wins, the Thunder matched up well enough where if they had made just a few more plays, victories were there, including two of those on the road, which to me shows they match-up well enough to possibly take game 5. Once again, though, I still think the Heat take game 5.) James will get his, no doubt, but the Thunder are still good enough where they have the ability to complete a comeback (as they showed versus the Spurs).

It's not 2000 Lakers vs. Pacers or something like that, is my main point.
