GM5: Oklahoma City at Dallas (DAL 3-1)


Recommended Posts

And finally, this is where Kevin Durant isn't an MVP player. He's so timid on his drives. He only looks to step back and can't finish in traffic, or shed ball-denial. He's been an incredible disappointment, just as big as Westbrook.

I wouldn't say just as big but yeah he has been disappointing, seems as if he regressed as as oppossed to progressing since last years seriers.

 

Anyway :D I'm happy for the Mavs and their fans, great story, all these Vets playing together...

The Thunder are still too immature. The entire team needs to bulk up and get stronger so they can score in the paint. Scott Brooks needs to open up the playbook, Westbrook needs to learn how to run an offense, and Durant needs to play stronger or he'll just be another jumbo-sized volume scorer. He should get better, but the Thunder dropped two games where they had huge leads late. They clearly have the talent---their lack of heart got in the way.

Thunder improved by leaps and bounds from last year, and you can bet your bottom dollar they'll improve even more next year. Growing pains hurt, but in the end it's what they need. Major props to them for hanging tough with Dallas in this series.

 

As much as I wanted OKC to win, I have to give props to Dallas. Huge props to Dirk for becoming an elite player, and not choking games away. Whoever Dallas faces in the Finals, they better win. Congrats Maverick fans.

He shouldn't get an easy pass. He's a scorer who's supposed to generate easy shots, supposed to demoralize teams at the rim, who's supposed to hit clutch shots, and who can will his team to wins over great defenses. He didn't do his job as often as he needed to, and left plays on the floor.

 

His redeeming quality---he's young, he should figure things out. But he didn't put his best foot forward.

 

Also, it's nice that Rick Carlisle, a good coach who's coached some very good teams, will get a chance to go to the Finals. He deserves this. As does Dirk for some very big fourth quarters.

maybe a tread starting to set, thunder cant rebound in clutch moments.. last year against LA and now agains mavs.

oh well great effort all round from everybody. ibaka pissed me off and im glad scotty didnt sub him back in. looked like he didnt care out there. that small lineup was the only way we nearly won that game and imo if mavs didnt sub back in chandler i think we win. without him westbrook went off no shotblocking for the mavs and our floorspacing was nice.

glad to see harden finally get some spotlight for the player he really is

hoping for a thabo trade becuase he is downright useless unless he gets the 3 point shot in the offseason.

Dirk was 59-61 shooting free throws in this series. Amazing.

 

Another comeback in the fourth, that's huge for the Mavs. They gotta stay confident when/if they are down to the Heat late in the fourth, gain their composure, and feed Dirk the ball. Huge performance from Marion as well.
