No way the Mavs win in less than 6 if they win. They're not significantly better than OKC.

well, we will see who knows the NBA better, are you even Predicting that Mavs win (series)? I thought you had predicted a Thunder win (series), which puts my prediction closer to reality even if the Mavs take 7 games....I'll stick with Mavs in 5 and Mavs by 10-15 tonight.

I agree with the two winners. I do say Chicago in 7. It could possibly take the Thunder 7 to beat Dallas though. I just think Serge will be a much better matchup on Dirk than anyone the Lakers could throw at him. Plus, Durant has a big advantage on anyone who tries to guard him. No more Tony Allen in his shorts all night.

Can you honestly tell me that those fouls they call for Dirk were legit? They were ridiculous and I don't see how it can be debated. If someone shoots 24 free throws in a game, you'd assume they were driving hard to the basket all night, not shooting fadeaways. Again, I'm not being a sore loser here, as I honestly did expect them to lose that game.
Westbrook had a terrible game. He couldn't make anything, but he won't play that bad again. I don't think he'll get traded away down the road. He's not near as selfish as people think he is. He is a 22 year old that hasn't played point guard in his life. He was an off guard at UCLA because Darren Collison was running the point. He is still learning how to be a ttrue point guard. Most of the time when people think he should be passing to Durant, either Durant isn't open or Westbrook just doesn't recognize it cause he's half ways overwhelmed as a point in the half court sometimes. It isn't because he doesn't want to give Durant the ball. Now, Durant is my favorite player, so I get upset with Westbrook sometimes, but still I'm just looking at this objectively.
How is Serge supposed to block a Dirk fadeaway? I don't think anyone has ever done that before. And if Serge stands straight up on Dirk and doesn't get in a stance, Dirk is skilled enough to go around him.

The reality is, is the right team, or lets say the team that shoulda Won always wins, maybe 1% of games played out of 1,000's of games played are stolen and .1% of those games are staggered by the officials.
Believe Me the amount of fines Cuban has paid is now paying dividends when it comes to gaining respect, or lets say buying it.
The Thunder have to wait their turn, pay more fines, lose a few more teeth if you will, before they get to Dance on the big stage, this is Dirk and Lebrons year to slug it out.

The calls were actually very relevant. They gave Dirk a lot of free throws he didn't earn and out OKC players in foul trouble. Besides from just putting points on the board, those free throws get Dirk in a rthym.

Oh OK, and you knew he would make all 24 too and then go 13 for 15, while actually not getting fouled.
If the whole league and true fans can all be amazed but a couple lonely boys from ND cant...so be it.....Serge couldn't guard Big baby let alone Dirk.
