    if the first quarter is indicative of whats to come... we may see a mano-a-mano shooting matchup for the ages, like pierce vs lebron a few years ago and maybe just maybe even bird vs nique.

    Dirk is still perfect. Durant with the cringe-worthy carry through flop.

    If Thabo was a dirtier player, he might be able to guard Dirk like Bruce Bowen did. At some point, OKC may have to try it.

    Looked like Marion got a quick elbow to the bridge of the nose.

    KD must feel like he's on vacation so far. I'm sure Dallas will ramp up the pressure in the 2nd half.

    Honestly, if he doesn't get help, I don't have a problem with how Ibaka is guarding Dirk. But if OKC wants to stop him, Ibaka will have to take away the jumper and force Dirk to dribble into immediate help. But there is zero help so far.

    Thunder needs to find a way to slow Dirk.

    I don't care if it's the Heat, the Bulls, or the Thunder. Anybody but Dallas. Seriously, does any marginal player (OK, he's pretty good, but he ain't great) act like he's done more than Terry? Ugh, please anybody but Dallas.

    A.B.D.

    And that was over-the-back on Chandler.

    The offensive strategy of the Thunder is to post up their center.

    Brooks need to pack his bags for that alone.

    Durant & Harden need to handle the ball more. Westbrook has a trouble to attack the rim.

    A lot of these fouls have been questionable, and seem to favor Thunder.
