    OKC looks pumped early. I dont think this game is even gonna be close.

    Durant 35 points and Westbrook will have 10 assists! (maybe 6 turnovers too lol)

    If the Thunder keep this aggressive play up (Durant as well needs to be aggressive) the Thunder have a good chance at winning this game. They need to really do a good job defensively on the Mavericks and not allow them to get easy baskets or let Dirk get to the free throw line as well as execute well on offense.

    First Westy forces the issue on offense, then creates a turnover on the defensive end, then turns the ball over with a pass behnd Durant. Looks like he is lacking confidence and really forcing.

    OKC is starting to ease up the pressure. They better be careful.

    Perkins really shouldn’t be playing big minutes this series at all. Since he’s guarding non offensive threats in Chandler and Haywood his biggest asset in post defense is not needed. Perkins brings you nothing offensively and simply can’t keep up with the pace of this game because of the speed and his inability to leap. Right now I’d want Collison on Dirk and Ibaka at center because of his weakside shot blocking.

    Only have a 7 point lead as of now,  OKC better continue going at Dallas this whole game because they are not going to go away.

    Anyone else notice the AWFUL calls seeming to set back OKC here. I mean they need to pickup the intensity but the refs shouldnt be helping out Dallas…

    Haha second I suggested it in the thread Scotty Brooks did it. It just makes too much sense to have waited this long to make that move.

    Dirk just does not QUIT! That 3 was cold blooded… I hope the Mavs don’t come back

    It may not last long, but Nowitzki is definitely the best player in basketball right now. Yes I think Lebron is a better player but not at this moment today or even during the entire playoffs. Holy crap at some of the shots he is making. During the last two series and still too this point noone is playing at the same level as him.

    The Thunder closed out every quarter horribly practically negating all their success for each quarter. Thunder need to learn how to finish quarters or all of their effort will be for not.

    It just hit me how much Kidd, Marion, Terry, Stojakovic and some of these vets is probally dying to win a Championship not just Nowitzki. Especially a guy like Kidd who has done it all…

    Great presence by Kidd with the timeout there off the Marion block.

     The Thunder are just trying to loose this game. Without Harden they have NO offensive flow.

    I never realized Oklaholma City runs the same offense as Miami. Top of the arch iso followed by top of the arch iso.

    I don’t know if I feel bad for Westbrook or I just can’t stand watching him anymore. His confidence seems shot.

     "I don’t know if I feel bad for Westbrook or I just can’t stand watching him anymore. His confidence seems shot"

    I don’t blame him really. When you have two black wholes on offense, and your best player has the dribble of an eleven year old it kinda puts a lot of pressure on you to make a play. I think the Thunder either need to start Harden, or get rid of Thabo for a SG who can actually make a play. 

    To be honest what I would like to see is Maynor come in instead of Thabo when Harden goes out, and force Westbrook to play a little SG. They would add another shooter, and would be able to control the tempo/offense for a change.

     Kidd was playing to near perfection from the end of the 4th on.

     You have the league`s leading scorer and a extreme explosive point guard but how you can`t close a game? westbrook and durant tonight showed they are still boys and don`t deserve a championship YET. when the game mattered most they made the wrong decision and did not execute well.with 2 seconds to play westbrook gives the ball to durant far away from the three point line, that was a awful look, he should have gone to the rim. And durant had to many turnovers in those final minutes. Yes jason kidd has some credit for those steal but if you wanna win a championship you can`t loose the ball that way, and you can`t depende on harden a bench player to help your offensive flow the whole game.
