It will make it a lot easier if they win the first 2, but OKC is a very good road team. They would still have a chance. I agree the first 2 games are more crucial in a 2-3-2 format.
I don't see experience being an issue. Our main players are under 23 but this is already their 8th playoff series. We also have played 3 teams with several players with championship experience. I've learned not to give up on them no matter how bleak it looks at times. My prediction is OKC in 6, but Miami is very capable of flipping that and winning the series. |

I'm rooting for OKC Thunder! Love the team. They're humble. Don't say much, just practices and plays.
I also remember that Durant carried team USA into the gold medal game at the world championship in 2010.

This is an interesting article: Surprised Ibaka is playing for team Spain - Did he play for a European basketball team?
2012 Summer Olympics Basketball: Teams that Could Challenge Team USA As teams around the world gear up for the 2012 Olympic Basketball Tournament this summer in London, they all share a common goal - to beat Team USA. By now it's no secret that the American team, winners of 13 gold medals including the 2008 Games in Beijing, are heavy favorites to repeat as gold-medalists. With a roster that is stacked with elite players from the NBA, there is indeed a good chance that, come July, the U.S. team will continue their dominance on the international level by winning gold medal number 14. While there isn't much standing in the way of Team USA and glory, these three teams could potentially give the American men a run for their money: 1. Spain Ranked second in the FIBA world rankings behind the United States, Spain is by far the biggest threat to the Americans. Even with the absence of injured NBA guard Ricky Rubio (Minnesota), Spain's roster includes five NBA players: Pau Gasol (L.A. Lakers), Marc Gasol (Memphis), Rudy Fernandez (Denver), Serge Ibaka (Oklahoma City) and Jose Calderon (Toronto). The Gasol brothers will combine with rising star Ibaka to form one of the best front lines in the world. Despite being the runner-ups to the U.S. at the '08 Beijing Olympics, the Spaniards were not satisfied with their performance. This time around, they will look to dethrone the Americans in hopes of winning their first ever Olympic gold medal. 2. Argentina Anchored by NBA stars Manu Ginobili (San Antonio) and Luis Scola (Houston), third-ranked Argentina has an outside chance (if that) at beating Team USA. While Argentina hasn't really gotten any better over the last couple of Olympics, they do possess experienced players (Both Ginobili and Scola were a part of the gold medal-winning Argentina team at the 2004 Games in Athens). At the end of the day, though, the Argentina team just doesn't have enough firepower to give the Americans serious troubles. Although, Ginobili and company have a good shot at making it onto the podium. 3. France Though the French national team is ranked just 12th in the world, they could potentially make a deep run in the 2012 Olympic tournament and possibly challenge Team USA. Of all the non-American teams, France has the most NBA players (8) on its roster. Led by veteran Tony Parker (San Antonio), the French squad includes Nicolas Batum (Portland), Boris Diaw (San Antonio), Ian Manhimi (Dallas), Rodrigue Beaubois (Dallas), Joakim Noah (Chicago), Kevin Seraphin (Washington), and Ronny Turiaf (Miami). The 'Les Bleus' are certainly a team to watch out for this summer. Source: Yahoo 2012 Summer Olympics Quote:

Not having Perkins cost them the series.

Guy had a good game with a couple of highlight reel plays. They won because Bosh had a ridiculous game. If Bosh hadn't pulled that off, it's a very close game...and maybe we see the real Lebron.

Perkins is garbage.
Celtics could have used a scorer like Jeff Green far more than Kendrick freakin Perkins |

This OKC team just has a "team of destiny" feel to it. They remind me of Dallas last year. Although OKC is obviously better than them I'm just talking about the feel. It feels like it's their year.

It was a B+ performance. He plays regular minutes, he probably only scores 24 points.
