James Harden will not let the Thunder lose. Thunder in five.

It's about matchups. Gonna be tough on the Mavs defense this time around, Marion will have his hands full with KD. OKC have too many advantages, but if the Mavs can rebound and control the tempo they can win it. They have to methodically take OKC apart. I can't make a pick at the moment, after seeing Game 1 I'll have a better clue.

The way the Mavs have been playing, there's no way the Thunder lose and would probably take it in 5 or 6. However, if the Mavs have just been dicking around (very possible), then they are good enough to compete (based on Mavs' peak this year) and make this a real series.

Go Mavs, though I want to see a LAL/OKC Conference Semis. Don't think the Mavs would win more than 1 game against the Lakers.

I am a Mavs fan, and I think OKC will beat us in 5 games. :(

Unless Dirk goes and has the most efficient playoff series of all-time like he did when these two teams played last year, I don't see the mavs winning.

I seriously hope the Mavs have been dicking around. It's been extremely tough watching them this year.

This season, the Thunder are only 8-7 for the month of April. They're not playing particularly well either.

The Mavs should not have given up Tyson Chandler,. I think they are toast.

Thunder in 6, both teams are overstated this year though.

You make Westbrick into a jump shooter and you have Mavs in 6.

I have zero confidence in the Thunder's ability to win this series

Mavs in 5, again

So you think the Mavs will be favored to win the NBA Championship if they still had Tyson Chandler?

I agree that Dallas wins the series, however, I think we take them to at least 6 games this time with no Chandler / Barea. I expect Dirk to take a huge dump on us as usual.
