Heat Over Thunder – Never Underestimate Champions
The Miami Heat players wanted to prove they’re better than the Oklahoma City Thunder. LeBron James was in the same mindset, focusing on Kevin Durant. Russell Westbrook made his return, but it didn’t really help as the NBA champions went on to dominate from top to bottom in a 103-81 win.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Changes Needed to Beat the Miami Heat
If you’d have to pick, right now, two NBA teams that are going to reach the 2013 NBA Finals, it would probably be the Oklahoma City Thunder from the West and the Miami Heat from the East. While the Thunder should run into a bit more opposition from the Lakers than they did last year but at the moment, most signs point to a repeat of the recent finals series.

NBA 2012-2013 Season – Heat vs Celtics as Marquee Opener
There’s nothing better for the NBA’s opening night that A) starting it on time and not on Christmas and B) pitting together two big rivals. The Miami Heat, the NBA champions, needed 7 games and some LeBron James heroics to get past the Boston Celtics in the Eastern conference finals.

2012 NBA Finals – Game 2 Predictions
I’m willing to make this claim – If the Miami Heat win Game 2 in Oklahoma City, they’re going to win the series. But the Thunder have not lost once in this postseason at home, and the Heat’s defense has yet to figure out how to stop Kevin Durant or even slow him down.

Kevin Durant Better Than LeBron James in Game 1 of the NBA Finals
Kevin Durant broke loose in the fourth quarter, and there was no one on the Miami Heat team to answer back. Not LeBron James, not Dwyane Wade and not Chris Bosh. The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Miami Heat by 18 points in the second half, taking Game 1, their first ever NBA Finals game, 105-94.

2012 NBA Finals Prediction (Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder)
Yesterday, we tried to take the of LeBron James and the third time lucky notion, trying to create a foreshadowing that leads to the Miami Heat winning the NBA title; LeBron picking up his first title ring. But the number 3 works for Kevin Durant as well – Winning the scoring title for the third time, and into his third playoff run with the Thunder.

Kevin Durant & Thunder Maintain Western Supremacy
Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder aren’t the best team in the better NBA conference for nothing. Even with Russell Westbrook not having one of his greatest days, Durant led the Thunder to an impressive 103-87 win over the Miami Heat, who looked lost from the start in their visit to OKC.
