    I will completely and gladly eat crow.

    I said that Mark Cuban was stupid for trading Devon Harris for Jason Kidd.

    I said that Shawn Marion would be more of a liability than a benefit.

    I said that there's no way the Mavs would come out of the West without Caron Butler.

    I said that Dirk Nowitski was soft and couldn't be counted on in the clutch.



    I was wrong on all counts, and I deserve to eat a huge plate of crow.

    this thunder team is one of the youngest teams in the league...get a carl landry or a jamal crawford this offseason and they'll own dallas.

    its pretty much 2v5 basketball and thunder has made it this far. one of the 2 being westbrook 0.5 and harden 0.5

    Utter deer-in-the-headlights cluelessness from OKC. Really did remind me of the "Choke City" rockets game. That's on Brooks for having a team so unprepared and that runs around like a bunch of 8-year-olds on offense, and probably a bit on Durant for not being much of a team leader.

    They are not choke city, they are just getting exposed. The grizzlies did the same thing to them, but the grizzlies just didn't have enough stars to pull off what dallas pulled off.

    The problem is that the thunder don't have a clue how to score if both durant and westbrook are being defended, especially when the game becomes halfcourt.

    There's no need to. It took almost 3 years for all their plans to come to fruition. 3 out of the last 4 years they've gotten an early exit (fresh legs) vs Spurs and Lakers the West's elite have been through long playoff runs. After all these years of failures (what 11+ 50 win season?) its about damn time they came through.

    i too questioned the jkidd trade but he brings leadership and intangibles. i think they shoulda just paid Nash to stay. Cuban screwed that one up.

    They're younger than the Big East champs in Pitt. I was joking around..

    Hopefully, that'll be Dallas again when they play the Heat.

    Best case scenario is they lose in 6 games to the Heat again.

    What does it all matter?

    So that's what it looks like to have an elite player take over a game...i'd forgotten how it looked.
