We're the 2nd team to win a Christmas Finals rematch, and the first defending champ to win on Christmas since we did it in '06.

I thought Little Wayne was a Heat fan?

**Jace** · 12-25-2012, 05:44 PM

I've seen him claim allegiance to around 3-4 teams.

Best win of the season? OKC had the best record, and I don't know if we'll face a hungrier opponent.

I know, I think Lebron did a good job but just the way durant just scores so effortlessly, makes Lebron look like a scrub on D.

the basketball Gods must have been bored and wanted to see something weird.

Everyone's going crazy about Wade hitting Russ' hand after he released the 3. Of course.

So they're overlooking the leg kick?

How in the world is this team supposed to get up to play the Bobcats tomorrow night?

This weird ass schedule the league gave us this season only gets weirder.

Dee-Zy · 12-25-2012, 05:53 PM

It's still a foul in the follow through from what I understand.

**Jace** · 12-25-2012, 05:55 PM

Only the 4th time we've had 3 20-point scorers this season. Weird.

Ray was pretty shit tonight, but of course Jesus had to come through at some point today with those FT's.

We should thank the Lakers tonight for helping us gain a full game on NY.

He got pissed off at the Heat because in a game in New Orleans, none of the Heat players went up to him to say hello. No lie.

Good game, had me on pins and needles for awhile there. Way to step up today Mario.

Love these jerseys, much better than those white ones. I was watching the Lakers/Knicks and their alt whites are as terrible as ours unless you're looking up close.

**Jace** · 12-25-2012, 06:01 PM

Their white alts were worse. Ours look less plain, with the side piping being outlined and the name on back filled in.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be, or if they've just called it in the past. Either way, they've never called it consistently, and on top of that, they're not going to call it in the final seconds of a game.

**Jace** · 12-25-2012, 06:05 PM

5 ties the 2nd longest win streak in the league, with Canada (

) and the Lakers. The Clippers win streak of 1,247, of course, leads the league.

@tomhaberstroh No joke: the white in Bosh's right eyeball is red and the dark brown of his iris is green after the poke. Merry Xmas!

Just a day too late Chris!

**Wade2Bosh** · 12-25-2012, 06:18 PM

Got to find a way to keep these jerseys. Loved them.

OKC needs to burn their monochromes and also burn the game tape so that everyone forgets about them years down the road.

**Jace** · 12-25-2012, 06:33 PM

Yeah I was surprised by how good these jerseys looked. I was extremely opposed to the oft-rumored weekend home game wearing of these in the 2nd half of the season, but after seeing them I hope that happens.

So after reading Haberstroh's ESPN game grades, I decided to go against my general custom and skimmed some of the comments at the bottom. Get this: People are crying that when you play in Miami you have to play 5-on-8 against the refs. They're saying the refs handed Miami this game. This is real life.
