OKC must lead the league in fist pumps.

What did I miss?

I guess you missed him taking a 3 early in the shot clock. If I had Dirk on my team, I'd never shoot early in the shot clock. :lol:

When Westbrook is consistently hitting that shot... he is pretty much Derrick Rose.

In other words, if you are the opposing team, you are F'ed.

Mavs just about done. They've done an awful job of shaking Dirk loose but he's also played poorly all on his own.

Westbrook's an okay player, but he often forgets he's got the league leading scorer on his team. Durant's killing it, try to get him the ball occasionally.

Come on Dirk that was really the shot you wanted? Mavs have packed it up.

Going to be hard for Dallas to win it all when Dirk isn't making all of those fadeaway, one footed, crazy shots that he made last year.

Marion has been turrrrrrrrrrible.

Dirk's problem is he's playing against a guy far stronger than him yet is trying to wrestle him. Just needs to wake the hell up, playing stupid and playing flat.

Kidd did a decent job on Westbrook in the first half, can't figure out why Carlisle has gone to West on him in the 3rd, he's lit West up.

Not sure it matters who is guarding him when he is sticking open 20 footers. That's the shot you want him taking.

Probably not, but Kidd did a far better job in the first half than West has done in the 3rd quarter.

Good lord are the Mavericks frustrating to watch right now.

jerrod · Post #595 » by **jerrod** » Fri May 4, 2012 3:39 am

i hate derek fisher. i thought he was done 4 years ago, but just didn't care because he was a laker

I'm thrilled we ended up with JA instead of Westbrook.

paul · Post #597 » by **paul** » Fri May 4, 2012 3:41 am

Marion is just killing the Mavs on O. Brutal.

Newz · Post #598 » by **Newz** » Fri May 4, 2012 3:42 am

Dallas knows this is the playoffs, right? What in the hell are they doing?

Age has caught up to them. It can happen on a dime in the NBA. This core of players is done as a contender.
