Wow...what a fantastic start to the 2011-2012 NBA Finals! Two equally matched, star studded teams are tied at a game a piece. I have no clue who will prevail in this now best of five series between the Heat and Thunder. What I do know is...regardless of who's crowned champions, we (the fans) will ultimately come out the winner!
What makes a great basketball game? Points! And not just points, points from the best players. LeBron James and Kevin Durant have not disappointed, averaging 30.8 and 28.5 points respectively. And they're not just being Prima Donna scorers, they lead their teams in rebounds as well. Both teams have played well offensively, and the stars have been just that.
The late game drama, the huge runs from both teams, and the frenetic pace has kept me glued to my seat. Kevin Durant has been spectacular in the fourth quarter, and LeBron seems to have turned the corner from the passive player who shrunk in last year's finals. Those were two clutch free throws in the closing seconds of game 2.
Like most fans who's team is out of the race, I just wanted to see a good series. And boy have we! I encourage everyone to enjoy these next 4 or 5 games, we may be watching one of the best Finals ever when it's all said and done....regardless of who wins. follow @plcolter
