    Some arent, just pointing out the blatant ticky tacky calls by the refs.

    Thunder are just like the Sonics in the 90s. Young hyped up team with a couple superstars, but they still won't be able to get it done and win a championship. They'll never get over that hill.

    i really see a high chance of durant throwing down a lot of points game 3. if im right that will probably put the mavs down 3 games. durant is very very due for some hot shooting.

    lets see what happens :):):):):):)

    Well OKC is going to need more than Durant getting hot to win in Dallas.

    They need for Harden to have a strong game down in Dallas.

    Never? A lot of people thought the Mavs would never won a championship with Dirk as their franchise player after so many failures and they did it last year. Never is a strong word. I do agree that the Thunder will not win it this year.

    Harden is the white Manu Ginobili.

    bulls and rockets won 8 out of 10 of the decade. no one won unless you were hakeem, jordan, or pippen.

    yeah i have seen durant go off before and they still lose. but its rare. i think in a way when you have durant and westbrook play very good to great, you have the other players like ibaka start focusing all his energy on defense. because really then the other players dont have to expend much energy on offense except on picks and rebounding. i may be wrong but it seems that is the way that team is set up.

    I just find the Thunder to be a boring team. There's just nothing about them that I find exciting.

    That is true. I'm anxious to see how Westbrook handles playing in Dallas. His first 2 games in OKC were pretty good.

    Perkins scoring 13 points was huge. He and Ibaka basically switched places in terms of scoring. One thing is for sure OKC will need more production out of Ibaka offensively for them to win a title this year but he is expanding a lot of energy guarding Dirk so I will give him a pass.

    I bet you must find the Sixers to be really exciting then.

    WB is the story of the series so far. Dallas has no chance of stopping him (60yo JKidd and Delonte, c'mon now).

    WB is finally going to get his props after this series. Or hopefully so.

    Yeah very true. But these two won theres together. They cut Derek and then he wins another. More amusing then funny though fisher is who he is.
