yeah he did - bailed out again. I really hate the NBA sometimes

Why, Terry? Dirk was wide open five feet closer when carter kicked it back out.

How does Dirk not touch the ball on the final possession? The ball has to find Dirk's hands.

Oh well... another close game... wish Mavs had won...

 

[The30YardSlant]

Mavs could just as easily be up 2-0, frustrating to say the least.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Mavs should've been up 2-0 instead they're down 0-2. Oh well looks like no HCA in round 2.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Chuck is absolutely right. OKC is extremely flawed. This is a jump shooting team that struggles mightily in the half court. The big difference in this series is Dallas is the exact some way. Against teams like the Lakers amd Spurs who are a great half court teams on both ends they will be exposed.

I hear you,however its not as bad this year,simply cause we won the ring last year. Im no where near as stressed. Looking forward to the summer to see what Cubes does. I also made 300 bones on the Pacers game.lol.The biggest advantage in this matchup is Westbrook. Kidd cannot guard him neither can West. He is also hitting everything he pogos up. Everything.When did he become such a good jump shooter? lol Harden strategy is just run to the rim and fake contact after 24 steps. Thats his game. It wont jive against Miami if they make it.

Westbrook was amazing. They're one year older.
Like I said in the other thread, the matchup really is almost exactly the same as last year as far as how evenly matched they are. Recall that those games in OKC last year were the same as these, but we had 1-2 more shots fall. That's it. All the games seem to come down to one possession.

Kidd missed a bunch of wide open 3s last night, but he has played well overall. And even though Dirk carried them when they came back from 16 down (just like last year) he missed a couple of shots he'd love to have back near the end.

Great series.
But when you're on the losing end of two games that you easily could have won, it's always a bit painful.

Betting on the Hawks ever well is just not smart. :laugh2:

All the pressure is on them with Ray and Rajon out and they usually crumble under pressure.
