James Harden struggles as the Thunder drop Game 3 to the Heat.

Found June 18, 2012 on Players View: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: James Harden
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder,  Miami Heat

MIAMI – In yesterday’s list where we discussed the five keys to winning Game 3, it was stated to win the Heat needed a big night from Dwyane Wade and they got that with his 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

It was also stated that James Harden would have to come up big for the Thunder and he did not. The beard shot 2-for-10 and missed all four of his three-pointers.

James Harden, Oklahoma City Thunder Miss Huge Opportunity to Take Control of Finals With Up-and-Down Third Quarter

Via NESN.com  |  June 18, 2012
Taking the Miami Heat's home crowd out of the game has never seemed particularly difficult. One decent scoring run by the opponent in the second half often is all it takes for apathy to set in for the slick-haired, well-tailored patrons -- and that is not even counting Pat Riley. The Oklahoma City Thunder created just that mood Sunday in the third quarter of Game 3 of the NBA...

The Charlotte Bobcats failed this off-season when they were unable to land the No. 1 overall pick (or, as we all know, Anthony Davis now) for this year’s NBA Draft during the lottery. With the second pick in their hands, they have many options to choose from: trade the pick, draft Thomas Robinson or draft Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Although guys like MKG and Robinson are pretty good...

Although the Oklahoma City Thunder lost game three of the 2012 NBA Finals to the Miami Heat, they can take solace that star Kevin Durant had yet another great game with 25 points. In the fourth quarter after a steal by teammate James Harden, Durant threw down a nasty two-handed jam off an alley-oop pass:

PatThe numbers don’t look that bad when you line ‘em up. Although basketball, is a fragile game. It’s not just the fouls, it’s the timing of the fouls. Calling a crucial foul, like the bogus one called on James Harden as time ticked down on Sunday night, changes a game. That’s all it takes in a close series. And one team is getting those calls lately and the other isnâ...

Besides their stellar play on the court this NBA season, there are two other things that are now synonomous with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The first is their rally cry of "Thunder Up." Similar to the playful "Cowboy Up" axiom of the 2004 Red Sox crew, the phrase can be routinely heard at OKC games and can be found on much of their recent merchandise. The second...
