    Westbrick you do not get to holster your finger pistols until you stop bricking your shots for a longer period of time.

    His percentages are worse than durant in every single category from ft to 3pt to basket to 9ft. Does this guy not realize he is the second option, not the first.

    And not only that westbrick has the douchiest attitude. They are going to hit a rough spot in the playoffs and westbrick is going to shoot them right of the playoffs totally.

    OKC is lucky "Westbrick" kept shooting or else they would be trailing 0-2 instead of leading.

    So far: 52.3% fg, 50% from 3, and 100% from ft.

    The defense rests, your honor.

    I said last year, Tyson Chandler was the 2nd best player on the Mavs... and now he's defensive player of the year and the Mavs really miss him.

    I still think this series goes 7.

    WB is BY FAR the best player in this series.

    And you are aware that KD shoots 34% so far right?

    Anyways to the series, both teams played to a draw basically. OKC could easily be 0-2. Durant had a lucky bounce in game 1, and Mavs have been uncharacteristically poor down the stretch in both games, something they were great at last year. This will go to 7 games.

    But OKC has not been playing great for the past month. If they don't make it at least to the WCF, it'll be pretty disappointing.

    I will make a bet 20 bucks to the tip jar, that WB shoots the thunder out of at least 2 games in these playoff games.
    Or we can bet that KD will have a better TS% then WB will have during these playoffs.

    U already would win the bet b/c KD already nearly shot the thunder out of 2 games. But WB saved him.

    Yes, what I'm saying is if WB didn't dominate in games 1/2, the story would be KD shot the Thunder out of 2 games.

    Except for one brief stretch, OKC hasn't played well after the All-Star game. They have luckily grinded out two wins against the Mavs. The Mavs will win tonight and the series will pivot on game 4.

    The key for tonight is to remember OKC rarely gets blown out. I fully expect the Mavs to pounce on them during the first half but it won't mean much (except if KD continues to shoot terribly).

    Truth. Durant fanboys will never see this truth.

    Its not about being a durant fanboy, I just don't want the team to implode on itself like last year.

    Not worth another thread, but Harden is likely to be added to the USA Basketball pool. Rumor... but it makes sense with all the injuries to the players on the early roster

    Hopefully OKC can steal one of these two games in Dallas. I want the Lakers to go through hell in the 2nd round.

    hoping the lakers sweep so that Ron still wouldnt play the first 3 games - Ron gave KD fits 2 seasons ago (though KD has improved greatly since then) but would love to see a LA/OKC matchup

    Funny how people call Westbrook Westbrick when this season his shooting percentage and 3 point percentage is higher than Kobe.


    Where is the cute pathetic nickname for Kobe like Lebrick and Westbrick smh

    That would be a memo to Les and sponsors, not to the fans.
