Dirk happened.

Is it possible for both mavs and heat to lose?

I don't know who I can't stand more though slight edge goes to lebron and miami fans (cept hroi

)

I'd say it was more of Harden fouling out and no real offense from the Thunder


+ Dirk.

Yes, losing your #3 scorer should wreck your offense.

Course, OKC should not haven been in this game at all.... 25 TOs!?!? Durant/Westbrook had as many TOs as the entire Dallas team.

It is sad indeed that it may turn out to be Mavs vs. Miami. I am still slightly pulling for Dallas b/c some of the players on that roster deserve a ring (dirk + kidd), but most importantly I can still say the championship had to go through LA

I'm partial to wanting Marion to get a ring... since Phx couldn't land him one.

If Dallas manages another win, the series is over. OKC will not beat Dallas 3 straight. If OKC wins, it will go 7. It will all come down to how Dallas plays defense. If Dallas plays defense like they did in game 3, OKC doesn't have enough offensive weapons to stay up. If they play like they did in games 1 & 2, then Dallas won't win in OKC.

Good matchup. I think Dallas has too many weapons to lose 3 of 4 to the Thunder, but it's pretty close. Durant is a beast and OKC has lots of playoff appearances in their future.

I like this OKC team but it's Dallas's year. They will have theirs before too long.

I couldn't give a **** about marion or kidd, dirk I am indifferent about wouldn't be the end of the world if he didn't get one.

Would be elated if Lebronze doesn't get one, was hoping for okc/chi final.

Same here.

Huge preference for OKC-CHI, with OKC winning it all.
Fine with DAL winning it all, over CHI.
Just do NOT want MIA to win, not even the conf. finals.

Pretty much what I wanted. I just don't see OKC pulling out of this series now. Lebron with a ring - do not want.

i really hope OKC doesnt get eliminated. i love seeing KD and his backpack during the postgame

 

[NorCal]

I'm loving me some Dirk right about now. I've liked him ever since he got a tooth knocked out and came back in a min. later spitting blood and everything.

I really hope Dallas can keep it up, I guess we'll see how they can match up against the Heat.

both these are true. OKC meltdown + the most fearsome closer in this year's playoffs = series over.

btw, it's ridiculous that Joakim Noah got fined. only in the NBA can you repeatedly talk **** about a 6'11" guy's mother and not get your head knocked clean off your neck. even getting cursed at is getting off real easy. i've been in that area of AAA many times before and it's embarrassing at how disrespectful people can get towards opponents. like JVG said, people think they can buy a ticket and that entitles them to check their human decency at the door. David Stern tries so hard to "clean up" the NBA that he doesnt let his players be human anymore. if a fan crosses the line he needs to be thrown out, banned from the arena, and no ******* fine for the player
