I'd say the refs may have decided game 4. Lebron gets calls over Durant and Harden, especially Harden. There was a missed kick ball at a critical point too.

Did you see little dirty play Bosh did when Chalmers scored that game deciding layup? At first I did not see anything but was surprised how slowly Ibaka reacted to that drive and that he had no usual elevation on his block attempt, but on reply it was very clear that Bosh was holding him on the arm and prevented Ibaka from jumping and making a real defensive play. Dirty, no refs would probably ever see it or call it but such a game changing play.

Teams down 3-1 in the Finals are 0-30 all time.

Teams down 3-1 in the Finals since the 2-3-2 format started in 1985 are 0-13.

It's not over, but you'd be pretty damn stupid to bet any money on OKC coming back from this.

I look at situations like these, as this could be the next greatest come back in sports history. This is why I love watching Sports. For the most drama possible. You never know what could be about to happen. I understand the odds against it, but I look at the cast and I think they have it in them. OKC is very capable of winning 3 straight, with two at home. They could have won all these games. When they played SA it looked over, but they fought back. 4 straight. Most other times I would agree, but not with OKC.
 
Looks like the Heat are on the brink of the championship... Still doesn't change the fact that I can't stand them.

Lebron has played outstanding. I can't deny it.
 
When he is allowed to ram his shoulder into Harden over and over, and Harden gets called for a foul for just trying to hold his position, then he will be hard to stop.

Players that get favored by the refs will look better.
Players that aren't getting calls will look like they are not playing well.

Best player in the game. Deal with it.
 
I should have said this before the series started so I don't look like half a dick, but I didn't see OKC having much of a shot at winning this. Put yourself ahead 15 years and think of the game's history with LeBron and it's hard to imagine him losing this year, especially with another top 5-10 player who has already been there.

I'm rooting for OKC and I'm still surprised they've kept games as close as they have. LBJ is playing on another level right now.

I, too, didn't think they could win this and made my reasons for why very clear before it all started.

The funny thing is that ESPN took a poll before the Finals started and 49 of the 50 states picked OKC to win.

Why should the Heat be given credit?

In a league completely void of bigmen... In a playoff with the best big man missing... You got Chris Bosh. It's amazing he hasn't dominated as much as he should have.

Then you take into account you have two of the top 5 best players in the league and one of the league's best perimeter defenders for the past 5+ years....

I'm not so sure the Heat ever will get credit. Nor should they.

The refs baby to them. And the way they win is so dirty. The way that team came together was dirty.

Had Bird been able to recruit Isiah Thomas and Magic, how many more championships would he have won? If Jordan had recruited Malone or Dream? Should they receive credit when basically they have the league's best talent?

I'll give credit to Lebron, he has overcome that no-playoff showing crap. He has led them. But I think "giving" them credit was thrown out the window when the "Big 3" came together. Everyone knew they were instant contenders. If anything, the championship was theirs to lose.
