Mavs in 7. Dirk is too good, and Westbrick is going to be out of control

Will go out on a limb on this and say Thunder in 5

How about the way the Thunder have been playing ? 1-7 against playoff teams in April.

that doesn't mean much.

the 2010 lakers went 12-10 in their last 22 games, playing just above .500 ball. going 3-8 against playoff teams in that stretch. they won the title.

sometimes teams just mess around or rest their guys or whatever.

Lakers 45-15. 12-10 last 22

Mavs 39-21. 16-6 last 22

6 game lead

The point they started losing( Coasting)

Lakers 53-18. 4-7 last 11

Dallas 47-24. 8-3 last 11

6 game lead

They were never pressured to lose the #1 seed

lol you quoted that post 3 times.

ok you may have a point but the point i'm trying to make is that the thunder still finished the season at a 71% win percentage, which would translate to a 58 win season if this was a full 82. that's more than what your mavs and the lakers won last season.

all i'm trying to say is that you should be more concerned with how your mavs have been playing than the thunder because the thunder are still sitting pretty at a 58 win pace while you guys are at a 44 win pace.

The 2007 Mavs finished with NBA best 67 Wins and lost in the first round. So it really doesn't matter what the regular season stats are.

those warriors that beat the 67 win mavs swept them in the regular season. the thunder this season have won the season series against dallas 3-1.

Mavs aren't the same team they were last year when they won it all. Thunder will run them out of the building.

Thunder in 5.

Mavs in 6

Might be the upset of the playoffs. I think Dallas wins in 6.

Mav till I die, but I'm thinking Thunder is 5.

Depends on which dirk shows up, quite frankly he's been awful this season, as a Mavs fan I say okc in 6,we've tanked the last few games to avoid the Lakers, hopefully it pays off, doesn't help that Jason terry plays more like a moped then the jet against okc

Mavericks in 7

I do not know who will this series, but I am a fan of Dirk Nowitzski....so I hope Dallas wins

EntropyPR · Post #78 » by **EntropyPR** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 7:20 am

Hope its half as good as the Western Conference Finals last year.

Metta says you're welcome to the Mavs!

EntropyPR · Post #80 » by **EntropyPR** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 7:51 am

Why? Harden is more than likely playing.

Who wins this series and in how many?
