Tough game not only having to play there but having the long layoff to go with it.

Favored to win: OKC by 1.5 point.

Refs:
Kevin Fehr - Home Team W/L 16-4
Bennett Salvatore - Stern's guy
James Williams (Rookie) - Seems to be very fair (Home Team W/L 9-10)

I think I may watch Monday Night Raw. At least they don't pretend to be unscripted.

very tough game, i hate that the schedule makers gave us 6 days off and now we have to play a god damn back to back

but since we're an old team the rest might help us, also hopefully dirk can get out of his little mini-funk he's been in. he normally kills the thunder hopefully tonight will be more of the same

Wow, that kinda surprises me. I would have thought Dallas would be favored. Dallas has been on a tear and OKC is definitely a beatable at home with an 11-5 record.
Go Mavericks, prove that underdog status wrong!!!

Good luck tonight guys. We can never seem to stop dirk until we put durant on him. For some reason durant is the only guy on our team who can shut him down. Sadly we won't put durant on him til late in the fourth, if at all.

One little nit pick; cool graphics but we're 5th in the west, not 6th.

Durant is incredibly hot right now. His last game he scored 44 points on 14-20 shooting. He might be even harder to stop than normally tonight.

You guys are definitely a better team than us, so lets see what happens

im curious to how marion/butler do on durant tonight, he struggled immensley vs. us last year, nice shooting performance in the 1st meeting this year, it's westbrook that always kills us

Durant stops DIRK as much as DIRK would stop Durant.

There is not 1 player in the league who can shut down Dirk!

Durant may slow Dirk, but the best Dirk defender in OKC is Thabo. Anyways, I home Marion continues to be a strong defensive player he is.

That is the ugliest 7 pt lead I have seen in a long while. Neither team is stopping the other defensively. Still, 19-12 means we are in the lead.

No defense being played this game. I'm glad DIRK is trying to score inside to start the game though.

I love the fact that Casey is running the game through DIRK on offense. He is getting the team a ton of open looks by his passing.

DIRK is going hard to the basket this game and not settling for jumpers. This is a great sign to get himself out of a slump.

Jason Terry is an idiot. Fouling a 3 point shooter. Terrible.

butlers jumper is looking silky smooth right now. shooting with a lot of confidence

Mavs are playing some great offense, now we just need to focus on defense.

And please just slow down the game. No need to get into a shootout with OKC.

Casual fans just don't understand how bad Jason Terry is without DIRK on the floor. Jason Terry gets all of his open looks thanks to DIRK off the P&R.

That was a complete BS call. Collison ran in front of Marion and his feet were not even remotely close to being set. That ia a block 100% of the time....until now.
