Really? That's bold.

why is that positive for anybody other than okc fans, who won, which is also a positive for them.

what was the negative?

Blows my mind Durant gets 16 FTAs.

14-16 FTs, 5-17 FG, thats the new superstar in todays NBA. Its become league of who's the best FT shooter.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Dallas took the next two and this thing still went the distance.

Have to be joking, OKC viciously went to the hoop.

Yup; Delonte > Kidd.

At this stage in his career, I agree.

by my unofficial count kidd missed 5 open 3s in the second half.

OKC's offense is not an offense for the playoffs. They live and die by the jumpshot and Scott Brooks actually thinks it's a good offense lol.

Even Perkins goes 5 for 5 without touching the rim on any of them.. so yeah, probably :lol:

Including against the Thunder in close games last year?

Two very close games, but Thunder earned the W in both.

Feels like I'm swimming in the ocean...so...much...SALT.

Very little of it is coming from Mavs fans though, classy fan base and organization (despite how much people hate Cuban)

Dallas fans going to finally come to my side that these were the worst refs ever?

SunZel · Post #1155 » by **SunZel** » Tue May 1, 2012 4:43 am

Mad props to Dallas though. Everyone thought this was going to be an easy series for the Thunder.

Why does Westbrook keep jacking shots when he can get to the rim at will, on anyone. He's improved his shooting a lot, to be sure, but cmon.

6 of them were because Dallas intentionally fouled them.

Westbrook has been playing very well for OKC which is awesome. His midrange = money...

You mean free throw.

this year is looking a lot like 2007. i believe the heat were the first ever defending champs to go out in the first round. the mavs look like they'll be joining them. i think they'll pull out one win at home which is more than what the 2007 heat did.

14-16 FTs, 5-17 FG, thats the new superstar in todays NBA. Its become league of who's the best FT shooter. Doesnt matter if you cant make a FG, as long as you can make FT's you can win playoff games, mvp, be a superstar, etc.

Who wins this series and in how many?
