    "Their talent is just too old" isn't really different from "lack of talent" if you're talking about playing *now'.

    It's crazy how Dirk is still relevant these days and is makin buckets in a somewhat efficient style. The dude looks like a ghost who came back from the dead.

    Great shooting always stays which is why Ray Allen played for so long. Dirks also never been the athletic type

    The way that guy just ran over Dirk, is the way the Rockets should run through screens on the court.

    One point seperated the mavs from being down 3-0

    come on rick, you're better than that. adams did nothing to felton and felton nailed him in the chest in response.

    not that adams isn't an instigator, but he didn't do anything. and i will say, when people do retaliate to adams, he always takes it in stride. he seemingly never goes back at people. maybe because he's so big that he doesn't even notice it.


    and since when is ibaka an instigator? i've never really seen him do anything.

    Don't really get what's so funny. look at that roster and look what hey have been able to do. They aren't going to win the series so why not give them a little credit. It would be one thing if they were stacked and getting blown out but they have a terrible team and still fighting and finished 6th in the west.

    OK, maybe Kanter is worth the money OKC paid him. Despite being a TERRIBLE defender, he is great playing off the ball on offense. He executes the PnR and uses the baseline as good as anyone I've seen. On top of those, he has a good jumper and fills the lane on fast breaks.

    That was a dirty foul by KD on Justin Anderson. He deserved the ejection.

    Durant is such a secret b****, guys think he is all clean but he isn't....that was a terrible foul, he should be tossed for the next game too.

    Link? I haven't seen the elbow by Durant from game 3 either. Searched YouTube and found nothing. Does anyone have a link for that one?
