The Official #3 Thunders vs. #7 Mavericks Thread

[IronMonkey415]

LETS DO THIS!!!!!

[CubKings]

Go Thunder. See if Westbrook can average a triple double all throughout the playoffs and to the trophy.

[IamRalpho]

OKC in 5, Dallas wins a game at home but it shouldnt be too difficult

[hairyangryfella]

Think Dallas could win a couple, especially if Westbrook shows up as he previously has and tries to be the hero.

Side note, it's just Thunder - there is no plural. Like the Jazz, Heat etc.

By getting triple doubles and leading the Thunder to wins?

[hairyangryfella]

I mean in the playoffs/finals by trying to be the man but making terrible decisions and taking horrible shots. If he plays as the team player he's capable of then it should be fine.

[TheTimeIsNow]

Go Mavs!!!! Unfortunately, I say OKC wins in 6 though.

[IronMonkey415]

Game need to start ASAP.

The Hawks vs Celtics is a snooze fest.

UPDATE: The game picked up and is very enjoyable

[Rip67vdub]

You must not be watching. Pretty close game now.

[IronMonkey415]

OMG..we posted at the same time.

I came back and updated the post.

[Rip67vdub]

Those ATL fan shirts (fluorescent) are hideous.

[hayjumper]

I'm rooting for the Sonics.




:coffee:

[ronaldo943]

OKC in 5 or 6.

[tennelson55]

blowout. i think thunder in 4, but i want to see this go 6. hope dirk can do something :)
i've got the thunder tonight -11.5.

[Rip67vdub]

Mavs getting crushed. I could see OKC sweeping them.

[JMarchand1981]

This right here.

[Rip67vdub]

Dup......

[Rip67vdub]

Hubbie Brown on Barea foul:


He wouldn't have made it, even if he had a gun



Lol.

[Wings]

So outside of Dirk nobody has more than 4 points.

[Wings]

40 point game, hard to believe the 6 seed in the West is this bad.

[MavsRChamps]

40 point game, hard to believe the 6 seed in the West is this bad.

I was gonna' try to defend against this ... But I'll just say +1 , haha :cool::doh::(

[CubKings]

I hope that whatever OKC did this game they can do all the way to the end.

[Durantula]

I hope that whatever OKC did this game they can do all the way to the end.


Good things happen when you play D!

OKC absolutely dominated. KD and Russ rested the 4th.
Without Parsons I don't see them winning more than 1 Game!
Hoping for a quick sweep!

Great to See the Thunder back in playoff mode!:popcorn:

[Durantula]

Horrible 1st half by the Thunder. If they play like this vs the Spurs its time to say Goodby! Hoping for a much better 2nd half!

[Nyfancam01]

i don't really care who wins this series....

don't have anything (lately) against either team.

Nice to see the UNC CHAMPION Felton doing his thing out there!!!!

[IronMonkey415]

Dallas just sealed the game with a steal and basket.

[IamRalpho]

Cant wait for the Westbrook dude to come into this thread

[eastbayak]

what a game

[Nyfancam01]

that isn't going to count.

[eastbayak]

TIED SERIES

[IronMonkey415]

NO GOOD, GOOD NIGHT.
Now we take our angry out on the Warriors.

[Nyfancam01]

Felton has never been known for FT's. and missed those late one's but without HIM they wouldn't have won this game.

Hell of a performance for my man Felton. Grats Mavs fans.

[xavieronly1]

LOL............

[cornelljw]

LOL @ Durant and Westbrook. Jacking 3s missing open shots. That was pure comedy

[ronaldo943]

Mavs getting crushed. I could see OKC sweeping them.

:coffee:

Counting out a Dirk Nowitzki led team is always asinine.

[Durantula]

Dallas took advantage of KDs badest shooting night ever! Deserved W for Dallas!

[ReggieEvansPC]

:coffee:

Counting out a Raymond Felton led team is always asinine.

What?

[ronaldo943]

What?

Being the highest scorer on the team has nothing to do with leadership.

[ReggieEvansPC]

It was a bit of humour.

[Slim]

Good win Dallas...

[thekiddfan]

7/33 wow

With a big bunch of TOs...

KD pls come back strong!!!

[alexcampos]

Great game for the MAVS...

I still say that OKC wins this in no more than 6 games, but at least the Mavs can now have some motivation going into game 3.

[Cavaliercards]

Nice game by Simba. High energy guy the Mavericks need to get on the court like they did tonight.

[TheTimeIsNow]

I agree, I haven't been this excited about a Mavs player in a while! What an insane game!

[Cavaliercards]

I agree, I haven't been this excited about a Mavs player in a while! What an insane game!

He was a spark that helped run the fuel to the playoffs and we are biased from watching him at UVA, but it was frustrating to see him in Game 1 be wasted.

[hairyangryfella]

Well that is the worst I've ever known KD to have shot. Hopefully the team bounces back quickly.

[pennywise]

Great game. Never thought I'd root for Dallas but I really want to see a first round upset.

[UltimateDeron]

15 of 55...

Russ & KD missed 40 shots combined!

[Rip67vdub]

Maybe if I said "will" instead of "could" would then make your comment more valid. BTW, how's it going down there since you like to hang on my nuts for every post I make?

[yiguiri2002]

That kid Anderson reminds me a bit of how Jimmy/Draymond were when they first came into the league: fundamentals are solid, defense is good and plays a very simple game. I don't expect him to get to that level, but he looks like someone who's gonna be on a roster for the next 10 years.

Nice steal for the Mavs.

[crazy4kinsler]

I guess Durant turned it around. 20+ points going into the 4th. Thunder are getting every call going their way and rolling the Mavs. Mavs don't have a chance in this series. Not a good matchup with 3 starters out.

[Durantula]

Dallas still better than Memphis:D

[IronMonkey415]

Getting chippy in the game

[tennelson55]

fistey series.
westbrook should be suspended for standing up on the bench :D

[IronMonkey415]

This Javie guy sounds like a sack of crap. Stop interviewing him
Salah just wanted to get the ball.

[Andy5]

Morrow is a douchebag. No tech for him? Wow.

[JMarchand1981]

I would love to see Dallas make a series out of this.

[JMarchand1981]

Dallas still better than Memphis:D

Yes. Memphis had too many injuries this year.

[JMarchand1981]

David lee....I had such high hopes for him when the celtics traded for him.

[tennelson55]

i love the post count attempts :D
i love scallops too, i particularly like the big ones but they're hardly ever on sale :(

i learned the hard way with lee as well. i've got a knicks jersey and liked him, but there's nothing there. he's fake :doh:

[tennelson55]

oh my russell. i think you said a few choice word there. mavs are starting to come back too.

looks like westbrook is getting mad at teammates too :0

[crazymj]

Enes kanter beast mode

[IronMonkey415]

Durant with a vicious tomahawk chop to Anderson head.

[xavieronly1]

LOL @ Durant. Everyone in OKC cares so much about individual stats.

[Andy5]

I changed the channel and I'm not even going to bother watching the Clips v Blazers after seeing KD get a flagrant 2 for that. This league is fricken soft.

[xavieronly1]

NBA is getting worse. There are so many non-sense reviews for nothing.

[fullmetal]

The Thunder lack discipline.

The Spurs will fluster them into stupid actions.

i wonder who you're talking about... it couldn't be the guy screaming up and down the court.
i actually think the thunder win the series for a few simple reasons.
1) okc actually has a big man in that "thing" in the center position and the fact ibaka can match up with lamarcus (bigs are even if not advantage with okc)
2) durant and kawhi will neutralize each other
3) westbrook will go breast mode
4) waiters can keep up with manu, i hope

edit - i'm biased towards okc. i've got money on them to win the west

[Cavaliercards]

Durant acting like a little baby because Anderson plays defense against him.

[DunkingDurant35]

I'm very disappointed with my team's lack of professionalism this series.

[IamRalpho]

Cuban saying Russ isnt a superstar might be one of the dumbest things Ive ever heard

Lol this says breast mode lol

[bdoody42]

I think Westbrook heard him....

[xavieronly1]

OKC still lacks the discipline. There is no point to push the ball with 10 points lead. There is no point to ask Durant to bring the ball up.

[IamRalpho]

I think Westbrook heard him....

36/12/9 as I post this. 57% from the field, 2 TO

Super DUPER star

[paul06901]

LOL at OKC leaving Durant and Westbrook in the game up by 15 points ... then Westbrook gets elbowed in the mouth.

Dirk was out of the game a while ago considering the score.


OKC is about as immature of an organization as the Clippers.

Great skill and talent, but childish, immature and hopefully get squashed by the Spurs.

Am glad Dirk has at least one title in his career, he is one of those great guys in the NBA.

[Durantula]

Byby Dallas. Bring on the Spurs!

[IamRalpho]

Billy Donovan is a bad coach.

[Cavaliercards]

Billy Donovan is a bad coach.

2 years and he will be back in College

[IamRalpho]

I actually think Donovan would be a good coach on another team. Bringing in a new young coach when this season was SO important for the Thunder is just mind boggling.

He very well might turn out okay, just too risky. Sam Presti did this team no favors.

[Durantula]

Billy better than Scotty

[crazy4kinsler]

Man, this series was ugly. What did OKC average per game? Something like 115. That's terrible defense. Mavs defense made OKC look like the 80s Lakers. This was awful to watch.

I knew this was a mismatch from the beginning, and OKC routed Dallas in all by 1 game. I'd be embarrassed if I were Carlisle. Cuban needs to do something else.

Won't find a better coach then Carlisle. That roster is not very good.

C'mon man, it's not like it's a difficult opponent. I can't see him shooting so well or having that few turnovers against SA...

Billy Donovan is a bad coach.
Something the Thunder seem cursed with...
