Any chance at all for the Thunder in this series?

I think if they can get it to game 6, they've got a pretty good shot at the series, both because 6 and 7 are home and they'll also have some momentum and confidence. But I have a very hard time believing they'll get it there. There's that psychological disadvantage being in a 3-1 hole and on the road provides mentally, but they also seem extremely out of sync in the offense. Durant seems timid at points, Harden's having issues, Westbrook was incredible, but if he does that and it's still a losing effort, that's pretty scary.
Unlike last year, LeBron is playing like he knows he's the best player in the world. Role players like Battier, Chalmers, even Cole a little have stepped up. I think Miami can taste it on the tip of their mouths and will close, especially a guy like LeBron who wants a ring so desperately, I think he'll come out on fire Thursday. At the same time, however, maybe I'm wrong and the Heat will come out a little lackadaisical/overconfident with their big series lead, and the Thunder will put a full game together. If that happens, the series will get very interesting.

Nah. If it goes back to OKC, the Heat will steal one

Only if Lebron is hurt or physically exhausted to the point where it severely impacts his play.

I think there's a chance. I don't really care about the "no one has come back from 3-1" stuff. These games have been close and competitive and the Thunder could've pulled the game out today.

lebron has a bad game in him, so yes

If this Lebron injury is a lot more serious than everyone thinks and he can't play, yes the Thunder have a chance

OKC stands no chance if they're playing against the Heat AND the refs!

i'm hoping they win the next game so the series can continue. I can watch these 2 teams play each other forever

I don't think OKC mentally has it in them. The refs mind frick them and they pout when things start going against them.
Only way they get out of Miami is if they get up big and don't let go. I don't see them winning a close game at this point in the series.

If Lebron turns out to be injured then yeah, that have a pretty good shot at getting back into the series. If not, turn out the lights. The Heat will one of 3 for sure.
