I’m thinking big picture these playoffs. If we play up to our potential, this series shouldn’t be competitive and it should be over in 4 or 5 games. Seeing Donovan bring Singler and Foye off the bench, and not Morrow and Payne, is annoying and worrisome. If he does that, especially playing Foye over Payne with the second unit, the Spurs (if we win this series) will make quick work of us in 4 or 5 games and most of the games won’t be close.

We may be up big, but we haven't looked great. Defense was somewhat decent, but offensively there are still ways to go. Russ turning the ball over, chucking 3s and rushing shots...

Payne isn't active this game so we don't know how Billy will use him.

Still can't stop Dirk

Durant being guarded by Barea and he chucks a long 3.

Still not playing in the post.

It's unbelievable how bad our offense looks without Westbrook and no Payne. We're not running anything. No PnR, nothing.

2 straight 3s for Durant with Barea guarding him, stop with this bull.

This is **** (Please Use More Appropriate Word), we are going nowhere in the playoffs.

Why did Billy wait so long to utilize Collison? he has great vision from what I've seen.

We've been bad offensively.

even Collison is jumping at pump fakes, Dirk is going to go to line 10 times per game again.

He's even decent defensively tonight. Overall, I've liked our defense. We should be up 25-30 based on the Mavs' performance so far.

Russ hasn't been doing his job so far. He needs to be a floor general and let the game come to him.

Dallas is horrible.

Carlisle deserves better.

Relax y'all. We have two players in Waiters and Kanter who are in their 1st playoff game and need to adjust. Russ will learn to relax and take less 3s.

The last time we were in the playoffs our squad was radically different, we will learn and grow as we go.

Why is Serge having such trouble containing Dirk, the man is 37 years old, he shouldn't be blowing past you to the rim.
