    This thread has been real slow. Is it because the Mavs are winning or because it's a Saturday night?

    The hell it is. I thought he sucked pre-injury with the Celts. Talk about overrated...

    I think the main issue is great Mavs D and poor Thunder O. But the intensity difference is evident on the other end too. Dallas is kicking OKC in the behind in all phases.

    I know this has been debated to death, but the OKC trio of Westbrook, Harden and Durant don't seem to know how to play together. Harden especially just doesn't look like the same player.

    The Harden bandwagon is crashing already?

    Lol, that first foul should've even been called since both Chandler and Perkins were fouling each other for position. 2nd one I guess it more reasonable but he still fopped

    Not for me. He's not being as agressive as in Game 2, but he's also not being put in the same role right now.

    Was Dirk not out of bounds when that ball touched him?

    Wtf did the NBA just make up new rules or something? First it was the canceling 3 seconds and the tech, and now this rule where you can only have a max of 3 points per possession if you take a 2 and 4 pts if you take a 3.

    They're obviously trying to keep the game close.

    I'm interested to hear your version of the Celts downfall and the importance of good screen setting. Unless this is just situational.

    OKC is not having the same success with the dribble penetration as they did in Game 2. Not sure how much of that is the lack of aggression on OKC's part, or Dallas's better perimeter defense. Probably both.

    I have to agree with JVG. No purpose at all coming out with Perkins and Sefolosha in the lineup to start the 2nd half. Neither guy should be on the floor. Perkins should warm the bench from now on and Sefolosha should play situationally.

    Is OKC that aggressive, while only scoring 40 points midway through 3rd quarter? Durant had 6 FTs, and Westbrook had 8. Those two go to the FT line way too easy, much more easier than Kobe or LeBron had.
