    Gotta give rick carlise credit for switching Kidd onto Durant and having him front/deny/push him out ala what the Thunders are doing to Dirk. Didnt think Kidd on Durant would work at all lol.

    WB is getting out of whack again. He might need a long stint on the bench if Maynor is productive.

    Oh and if anyone wants further evidence, superstars teaming up helps interest in the league, look no further than how dead this thread is compared to the Heat/Bulls thread, despite this being by far being the more entertaining game and series.

    It pisses me off the way Durant allows the smaller Kidd to deny him the ball. Reminds me a lot of Tmac.

    that was the first time Dirk got the ball on the low right block since the first half and probably less than a handufl of times the entire game. And guess what, he scored.

    Get up Collison, you tried to draw the charge by flopping but they didn't fall for it.

    The Thunder have played one of their better games so far. If they don't end up winning this game, then they have no chance of winning the series.

    Carlisle also used Stevenson, who is shorter than Durant. It seems like guys who are shorter but with lower centers of gravity are having more success bodying up on Durant. Kind of like what Hayes does on bigger players.

    It's also the season finale of many a thursday night sitcom. You can also argue that both OKC and Dallas are much smaller basketball markets than just Chicago by itself.

    There are 2 unguardable players in this series: Durant and Dirk. Two 7 footers who are impossible to stop 1 vs 1.

    Nowitzki rarely seems to get called for a travel. Really amazing footwork for a big man.

    This game is really intense!

    Loving the shootout going on. No doubt this is the better series so far.

    Terry's shot is off. He seems very hesitant.
