Nowtizki has only taken two shots, yet the Mavs are down by 9. Just give him the ball more, good things will happen. I love that Maynor and Harden are actually looking to score rather than finding Durant. Gotta stay aggressive if you're OKC.

Not really, they haven't lost 3 games in a row all season long, and still have homecourt advantage. Just gotta win one game in Miami. If they can close out on Bosh's midrange game, as well as making some adjustments on offense, I think they will be fine.

Thibs has to make adjustments and find easier ways for Rose to score. The team itself hasn't shot 43% from the field at all this series. Heat's halfcourt defense is just too good, and Chicago doesn't have the consistent shooters to space the floor properly.

Rose has been atrocious with his decisions. This is Russell Westbrook-esque.

Rose is off to a huge start to the second half.

Miami's halfcourt defense is amazing to watch.

His point guard skills are right on par with Jennings, so I still see no point in the Bucks replacing Kemba with him. Both are about the same size, and both are score first PG's. Walker won't be able to score like he did in college, and that's what he's known for. His best scenario is getting drafted by Sacramento and playing alongside Tyreke, mainly because of Tyreke's size. Evans could guard the other teams SG, while logging in some minutes as the PG (or just running the plays) allowing for Kemba to roam and look for his shot. Kemba is not Steph Curry, he's in the mold of Jason Terry or Ben Gordon, which doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, but it's not what I would look for in my starting PG or especially on a team that has struggled under a similar PG and is looking to make some major adjustments to their roster.

If it were true, he wouldn't be on the Mavs.

The whole point of trading Jennings is to get rid of these score first PG's.

Dirk is so clutch.

LOL Harden, that flop was just as bad as Bosh on Boozer.

Amazing how the Mavs are up by so much, yet Dirk only has 4 points. Everyone on Dallas is contributing, they have the deepest team in the playoffs, and probably in all of the NBA.

So with Enes blowing off the Raps, there's absolutely no chance they draft him, right?

Hopefully we get Kanter (by trading up), which would be great. Then next season, we can focus on getting a SF in a very deep draft.

1. Harden 2. Mayo 3. Turner Really not even close. Harden has the ability to score and be a playmaker in the offense, and while his defense is suspect, he makes up for it with his multi-dimensional skillset on offense. Mayo hasn't lived up to his potential yet, same goes to Turner (but I expect Evan to have a breakout year in 2011-12).

Big time win for OKC, now they go back home satisfied with a 1-1 series. It was a matter of time before Harden breaks out for a monster game, he's played well this series, but finally realized he needed to score more rather than facilitate. I really wouldn't look into this whole Westbrook thing, OKC's bench was just terrific tonight.

Westbrook needs to settle down, maybe OKC should have kept going with Maynor.

Thunder finally playing the proper defense on Dirk. Front him and bring defense from the weakside. I'm sure Dirk will adjust, as well as the rest of his teammates, but for now, this is working. Gotta keep attacking them and getting to the line. Harden and Maynor are playing pretty well off the bench.
