Lemme guess...you're a big Heat fan?

The Heat's ball movement is way better than the Thunder's. It was literally not even close tonight.

They pick and roll, force guys to double on LeBron or Wade, and then they swing the ball for open looks and they have shooters who can knock down shots. They have veterans who can make the extra pass and make smart decisions, too.

Now, not every team in the league has the players to be able to do this, and get good shots nearly every possession. You need to have that guy who demands double teams on a high number of possessions, especially in pick and roll situations. However, the Thunder are a team with enough talent. They have a guy (or two) who can attract double teams, they have a shooter or two, they have big guys like Ibaka and Collison who are able to pick and pop.

But they don't move the ball. Not nearly enough, especially against the elite teams who can defend that they'll see deep in the postseason. Durant and Westbrook don't play well together. They don't play off of each other. That's not necessarily either guy's fault, but there is so much isolation basketball with that team.

Now, I still think the Thunder are going to make the Finals. They have so much talent and explosiveness. However, they can't beat the Heat in a series, at least not how they are playing right now. The Heat are way too good on the defensive end of the court, especially when you don't make them work as hard. If the Spurs can make it to the WCF, they could potentially give OKC a lot of trouble.
