WCF: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks Thread

[The Batman]

:toast

[NewJerSpur]

With respect to Findog, Sribb and some of my other Mav brethren down here:

oYdD38lnqQE

LET'S GET IT ON!!

[4>0rings]

Dallas will be WAY to rusty to win game 1.

[Giuseppe]

They'll lose that rust within 5 minutes of clock time.

Hoping against hope that OKC will come out of the West and then the Heat will take it all.

[ploto]

Should be a fun series with the cities so close. Lots of fans from the opposing team will make the trip. Also, you have some people in OKC who were Mavericks fans when they did not have a team and loved Dirk. Dallas in 6.

[mavsfan1000]

Thunder in 6. They are just too athletic. The Dallas teams of the last 10 years don't react well to teams that are all over the place. Warriors, Suns, and etc. Jumpshooting teams really struggle with high pace teams. Thus the Grizzlies would've been a much easier matchup.

[Mav-elous Man]

Mavs in 6. Mavs better defensively, a more continuous flow on offense, and a slightly deeper team.

[Andrew Cunanan]

bump

[Tp9gospursgo]

Go Mavs and Thunder!! lol

[LkrFan]

They'll lose that rust within 5 minutes of clock time.

Hoping against hope that OKC will come out of the West and then the Heat will take it all.

You got some splaining to do here. :depressed

[Andrew Cunanan]

Mavs 104, Thunder 93 imho

[Dirk´s tounge]

xn401Usezxs

[lefty]

Shit a good intro from ESPN

[NewJerSpur]

Westbrook the offensive facilitator or debilitator?

[4>0rings]

This sucks without the Spurs. Since LA got eliminated, I'm back on the Mav hater wagon. Go OKC!

[LakerHater]

Goal tend!

[LakerHater]

Looks like OKC is guarding the PnR pretty good..... do far!

[Killakobe81]

Just want a good game for 4 quarters ...

Ill say Mavs in 6 or 7 but we shall see, Harden, Ibaka and of course Russ will have to step up big to match Mavs and extend the series. Durant will get his.

[NewJerSpur]

Calm down Perk.

[LakerHater]

Dble T so early!!

[redzero]

Weak technical.

[ogait]

Mavs in 5.

[Killakobe81]

Perk asserting his presence early ...I bet he gets Chandler to take a couple dumb fouls, problem is Perk may give them right back ...

[jag]

The technicals this postseason have been extremely weak. Let the players play.

[NewcastleKEG]

LOL @ double technicals minutes into the game. That's just lazy reffing letting the fear of ejection do your job

[Killakobe81]

Chandler wont play for long, he needs to calm down ...

[Killakobe81]

LOL Dirk torching Serge ...

[NewJerSpur]

Smart move by Dallas not having Kidd guard Westbrook but instead putting him on Sefalosha who's absolutely NO threat offensively.

[NewJerSpur]

Marion with the travel.

[4>0rings]

OKC looks like utter shit while Dallas is getting everything inside

[Killakobe81]

Pau watching this and says see ...no one can guard him.

[jag]

Kidd needs to take that shot in the paint.

[NewJerSpur]

Stevenson flopping like the refs respect his game enough to give him that call.

[LakerHater]

C'mon!!

[NewJerSpur]

Thabo can't come over to double on Dirk on the block with Ibaka guarding him and leave his man open.

[resistanze]

Dirk is disgusting.

[LakerHater]

Dirk hacked him!!

[Andrew Cunanan]

OKC having trouble with the zone

[frodo]

mavs martchin 2 da NBA finals imho

[ogait]

Lol Dirk can't miss.

[Andrew Cunanan]

wetness

[Andrew Cunanan]

Thunder have no answers for the zone...their halfcourt offense looks worse than Miami's right now

[NewJerSpur]

Damn Thabo hit a 3?!

[Red Hawk #21]

Thabo for 3...

[NewJerSpur]

Lead Thunder.

[jag]

Ahhh! I see you Nick Collison.

[Rocky Dennis]

I find myself rooting for the Mavs.

[Killakobe81]

I said this in another thread ...Dirk may be having the best shooting season I have ever seen. To shoot over 50% in the regular season and the playoffs, with as much as he shoots and asthe primary scorer and focus of the opposing defense? wow. I saw Bird, Ray and Reggie in their primes. Dirk's season is the best I have ever seen from a shooter.

[Red Hawk #21]

That Collison is one solid role player.

[NewJerSpur]

I'll live with Dirk not missing and Stevenson chucking up nonsense if I'm the Thunder.

[Rocky Dennis]

That's cool.

[Rocky Dennis]

I'd bang Doris Burke.

[NewJerSpur]

Great screen by Collison. Durant is hot.

[Tp9gospursgo]

anyone have a link?

[Red Hawk #21]

Nice runner by Brewer.

[NewJerSpur]

Thunder not letting Kidd get the space for the 3 off of the screen-n-stepback he's been living off of in the playoffs to start.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Whoever has a link p.m me please. Thanks.

[Red Hawk #21]

Lockup defense by the Zombies.

[Andrew Cunanan]

fix the shotclock

[LakerHater]

Shut the Fuck up JVG!

[NewJerSpur]

JVG trying to defend the Heat so he makes a case to become their next coach if Spo gets canned.

[picc84]

OKC is actually rotating to shooters. Weird, didn't know you were allowed to do that.

And did anyone see what that point guard did? The ball went into the rim. Then he did some weird anti-gravity thing where his body seemed to lift into the air.

Fucking witchcraft.

[Killakobe81]

OKC so much better at closeouts than the Lakers were ...

Also, I LOVe the way RC subs Dirk. He takes him out middle of the quarter but brings him back, at the end of the quarter when the opposing team has already went to their bench. RC is a good coach ...

[NewJerSpur]

Westbrook should've layed that up.

[jag]

I'd bang Doris Burke.

You're in a small group of very lonely people.

[Killakobe81]

LOL funny. Still salty Picc?

[Red Hawk #21]

Looks like the Thunder are doubling everything.

Carlisle is a good coach, very underrated imo.

[Killakobe81]

You're in a small group of very lonely people.

LOL zing ...

[NewJerSpur]

Looks like the Thunder are doubling everything.

They're "chapperoning" Jason Kidd to the rim. :lol

[LkrFan]

KD 11, Dirk 10.

:corn:

[NewJerSpur]

Nice block by Chandler, but Perk's offense, YICK.......Collison is balling.

[Red Hawk #21]

lol expecting a whistle.

[NewJerSpur]

Dallas smart to double KD with Peja on him and funnel the ball into the bigs of the Thunder.

[Red Hawk #21]

JJ is always attacking.

[Andrew Cunanan]

nice 30-foot attempt by Harden

[Killakobe81]

Here comes Dirk back in... like I said I love how RC subs Dirk.

[jag]

I want to know how tall he really is. There's no way Jose Juan is 6'0".

[NewJerSpur]

Wow!!

[Killakobe81]

Westbrook needs to play better.

They call Collison travel but not Marion when he did the same?

[Andrew Cunanan]

Goddamn....

[Red Hawk #21]

Great start by the Thunder.

[NewJerSpur]

Nobody from Dallas stopped the ball?

[LakerHater]

Thats close!

[Andrew Cunanan]

Westbrook is restrained so far...let's see if that keeps up

[Red Hawk #21]

I want to know how tall he really is. There's no way Jose Juan is 6'0".

Probably 5-10/5-11 ish.

[shyne]

Durant is a bad dude

[Killakobe81]

Great drive by KD ...

Love the fact he is not backing down from Dirk's hot start.

Harlem is probably preparing his Pro-Activ jokes as we speak ...

[DAF86]

That's a thing Durant has over Dirk.

[ogait]

Good job closing out the 3 so far by OKC.

[Banzai]

Here's where I'm at. I want Dallas to win the series...because they have a shot at going against the Heat..now if OKC wins..well..I don't know..but if its OKC and Bulls or Dallas and Bulls..fuck I still don't know lol.

[picc84]

This is very strange. Its almost as if being able to run and jump helps you play basketball.

No way. No fucking way man.

[Andrew Cunanan]

Lakerhater...gonna need a .gif on that Harden dunk. he got some serious vert and hangtime

[Tp9gospursgo]

J.J is around 5'8

[Killakobe81]

Westbrook is restrained so far...let's see if that keeps up

he has not shot much, but he has some dumb TO's.
I think he is "overpassing" ...TBH.
I think Brooks should run him with KD on the bench and let him get a rhythm of scoring ...

[NewJerSpur]

Westbrook is restrained so far...let's see if that keeps up

Yup. He's not "forcing the issue" so to speak....that Game 7 performance may have changed him for these playoffs, have to see.

[Giuseppe]

So far.

So good.

[shyne]

Durant is George Gervin 2011

[Killakobe81]

Yup. He's not "forcing the issue" so to speak....that Game 7 performance may have changed him for these playoffs, have to see.

They will still need his scoring to win this ...

[NewJerSpur]

LOL @ Harden moving out of JJ's way.

[Killakobe81]

JJB is nifty inside ...

[jag]

Harden is so money if he doesn't force his offense.

[Killakobe81]

I remember when everyone clowned the Harden pick.
Right now as a "two-way player" ...he is better than Evans and Curry ...

[jag]

So far.

So good.

[NewJerSpur]

They will still need his scoring to win this ...

He's not a pure point, but he's good at penetrating the lane. Either way, he's got to generate offense on his own when he's got the clearing or hit someone that's open I think.

[NewJerSpur]

Weak close by Maynor.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Terryyyy 33333

[Killakobe81]

Terry's stroke has been money as well ...

Agree with MJAX that is how Dallas killed us let JJB drive dont leave JET ...

[jag]

JET is out of his mind right now.

[Killakobe81]

great inbounds play! loving RC right now ...

[picc84]

I'd almost rather see Lebron ring than Jason Terry.

[Red Hawk #21]

Wow, this is gunna be a great series.

[Killakobe81]

Great game, so far.

[NewJerSpur]

Nice screen by JJ on Collison. Dallas' bench doing work, Thunder have to stop turning the ball over.

[Spur-Addict]

Lay up off an inbound pass? How do you not chew him out during the timeout? LOL

[Killakobe81]

I'd almost rather see Lebron ring than Jason Terry.

I definitely would, but I dont hate Dirk or Kidd.

[Andrew Cunanan]

oh great, another pirates of the caribbean flick

[Kyle Orton]

why do teams keep going over the screen on Barea, going under seems like the obvious way to defend a pick and roll with him...

[NewJerSpur]

I'd almost rather see Lebron ring than Jason Terry.

The media will ignore Terry shortly after the ring......you'll never hear the end of it with LeBron if the Heat win, ESPECIALLY if there's a lockout.

[shyne]

Last year RC was the biggest dumbass for not playing Roddy, and playing Barea. Now everyone on here is sucking his nuts for playing Barea. Hes an average coach at best.

[Red Hawk #21]

Anyone else wonder how long the Thunder will be able to play at 100MPH? I have a feeling they're gunna get tired.

[redzero]

There's only two things I love more than herding cattle...

[Killakobe81]

Last year RC was the biggest dumbass for not playing Roddy, and playing Barea. Now everyone on here is sucking his nuts for playing Barea. Hes an average coach at best.

I can give two shits about the freakin rican ... I love the way he subs and his inbounds plays.

[NewJerSpur]

I can't wait until the mohawk goes away for another 20 years.

[Red Hawk #21]

The media will ignore Terry shortly after the ring......you'll never hear the end of it with LeBron if the Heat win, ESPECIALLY if there's a lockout.

Dirk has to finish that tbh

[Killakobe81]

Serge has no shot. He is too aggressive to guard Dirk his value is strictly as a "help defender" TBH ...

[jag]

Ibaka is surprisingly too small to guard Dirk. He's a big ass German.

[picc84]

The media will ignore Terry shortly after the ring......you'll never hear the end of it with LeBron if the Heat win, ESPECIALLY if there's a lockout.

Yeah, I know. But every time he raises his arms and walks toward the crowd with that stupid fucking look on his face, I forget about the Decision and the cHeat for just a few seconds.

[NewJerSpur]

Why pass to Perkins with Barea on you? Oh well, 3 the Harden way.

[Andrew Cunanan]

dirk is rigoddamndiculous

[Red Hawk #21]

KD with the patented "Rip" move.

[Killakobe81]

LOL KD going to his "pet move" ROFL ...

[ogait]

Ghost call

[Spur-Addict]

Durant shouldn't be at the line

[BoricuaCJA]

Ghost foul once again! Durant overrated on the FT attempts.

[NewJerSpur]

Yeah, I know. But every time he raises his arms and walks toward the crowd with that stupid fucking look on his face, I forget about the Decision and the cHeat for just a few seconds.

Understood, but they'll probably replay the decision enough so you NEVER forget about it if the Heat win. :lol

[davethedope]

what the fuck are the refs even looking at? I mean what the fuck?

[Killakobe81]

Dallas is a great shooting team ...

[Tp9gospursgo]

barea..

[NewJerSpur]

Iblaka!!

[Killakobe81]

Ibaka takes his frustration out on that dunk, doesnt matter you still getting owned ...

[Spur-Addict]

LOL@Doubling Perkins

[sefant77]

The nba has to stop to reward this "swing through" crap. Its terrible...

[NewJerSpur]

LOL@Doubling Perkins

:rollin:lmao

[Giuseppe]

Just checkin' assholes:::I was first on Barea.

[Red Hawk #21]

lol I cant believe they doubled Perk haha

[Tp9gospursgo]

Terry played that perfectly. No contact. Ghost call.

[NewJerSpur]

Just stay close to him Ibaka, and play him as physically as you can without fouling on the block....all you can do.

[Spurologist]

Mark Jackson: "Keep talking to me coach..I'm getting torched"

:lol

[Andrew Cunanan]

westbrook bein westbrook

[NewJerSpur]

Durant not settling.

[NewJerSpur]

And-1 for Perk.

[Andrew Cunanan]

nice ball movement

[Red Hawk #21]

What happened to Marion?

[LakerHater]

Stupid T Carlisle!

[davethedope]

Agent Smith got him! And nobody in the place saw.

[Andrew Cunanan]

what happened to marion?

[Spurologist]

What happened to Marion?

Vaginitis

[Killakobe81]

Good game. Much better than ECF ...the most watched game in cable history.

[picc84]

First time i've ever uttered the words "good job, Perk". :)

[Andrew Cunanan]

Just think...he could've been cheapshotting LeBron had the C's kept him...

[HarlemHeat37]

A Chicago/OKC Finals would all but guarantee a lockout and decline in fan interest:lol..

Arguably the 2 most boring teams in the NBA, with ugly superstars that play cheap basketball, relying on getting to the FT line through the post-handcheck rules..

[Killakobe81]

Waiting for a TAJ Gibsonesque dunk though ...

[davethedope]

Lemme tell you 'bout Andrew Cunanan

[shyne]

Marion is a cunt

[NewJerSpur]

First time i've ever uttered the words "good job, Perk". :)

There goes that spite again. :lol

[NewJerSpur]

:nope

[IronMexican]

Zookeeper looks like a shitty movie.

[jag]

Kevin James must need the money because Zookeeper looks wack as hell.

true and that titty is sumtin' else. Who is that, you?

[Killakobe81]

A Chicago/OKC Finals would all but guarantee a lockout and decline in fan interest:lol..

Casual fan interest would be blah ...

But that would be two explosive young PG's

Deng trying to pull a Pierce and go through Lebron and win a title against a Western Conference superstar ...

Perk vs. Noah

Ibaka vs. Gibson

Collison vs. Perk

Harden vs. Korver ...

[Killakobe81]

Great pass by Dirk.

[NewJerSpur]

Dallas with the ball movement....thought Kidd should've shot it though.

[davethedope]

Kevin James must need the money because Zookeeper looks wack as hell.

Nah, that shit looks awesome. You see that shit when the gorrila is like
"get out". That shit look dupid.

[Spurologist]

A Chicago/OKC Finals would all but guarantee a lockout and decline in fan interest:lol..

Arguably the 2 most boring teams in the NBA, with ugly superstars that play cheap basketball, relying on getting to the FT line through the post-handcheck rules..

Denial

It'd break the NBA finals records tbh

[ogait]

Not too long ago Dirk wasn't able to do that kind of passes, he improved a lot in that regard.

[Andrew Cunanan]

There's the Westbrook I know

[jag]

Westbrook is wearing me out

[NewJerSpur]

Terry with the muscle memory shot.

[Spur-Addict]

Terry put that right in Harden's grill

[Killakobe81]

Can NOT leave Terry ...trust me on this OKC. Did you NOT watch Game 4?

[NewJerSpur]

Durant time to end the half.

[Killakobe81]

Westbrook is playing like Shite ...dont know what someone else is watching ...Im a bruin and he is killing them right now.

[Andrew Cunanan]

Can NOT leave Terry ...trust me on this OKC. Did you NOT watch Game 4?

I'm sure they turned it off halfway through the 2nd like the rest of the country

[Spur-Addict]

Dirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrk

[NewJerSpur]

Nice pass by Marion.

[sefant77]

ball movement for the win....beautiful

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nowitzki is redirkulous.

[LakerHater]

Thats an offensive foul!!!

[Red Hawk #21]

Fucking exciting game tbh

[baseline bum]

Dirk's ridiculous tonight. Really amazing game so far.

[picc84]

C'mon Perk, don't leave Marion's blood alone on the floor.

[sefant77]

Not too long ago Dirk wasn't able to do that kind of passes, he improved a lot in that regard.

thats why the 2007 "blue print" doesnt work anymore...

[davethedope]

OKC can't play like they did against the stagnat Grizz offense or they're
getting blown out in every game

[NewJerSpur]

Nice recovery by the Thunder.

[Andrew Cunanan]

Bench westbrook

[jag]

Durant time to end the half.

Not if Westbrook can help it.

[NewJerSpur]

Lol.

[Fpoonsie]

Dirk.

[baseline bum]

Wow, what a roll.

[LakerHater]

Did he even see the block??

[NewJerSpur]

Stop it Perk, just stop it.

[jag]

TyChan is a man among boys right now

[baseline bum]

That would have brought the house down had Terry hit that. Nice work on the offensive glass by Chandler there.

[Red Hawk #21]

Chandler is a badman.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Dirk is so gay..

[Spurologist]

:rollin

Perk got his shit stuffed

[LakerHater]

Thunder fallin apart!

[davethedope]

nah, just playing OKC ball

[ohmwrecker]

Perkins needs to throw some more elbows.

[100%duncan]

lol okc

[picc84]

OKC needs Perkins to average at least 3.2 epg (elbows per game) to give themselves the best chance this series. Durant will get his points, Westbrook will get his chucks, but Perk is the x-factor.

[Spur-Addict]

Is Crawford serious with that call on Terry?

[NewJerSpur]

Cheap foul call. Wonder if they'd even think of posting Harden up on the smaller Terry?

[Spurologist]

Crawford hates Terry...no doubt

[Killakobe81]

:rollin

Perk got his shit stuffed

Westbrook has to play better or this series will be short.

[100%duncan]

westbrook is a motherfuckin ballhog

[Killakobe81]

Not one of his better halves? He is playing like shite ...

[jag]

I hate that Westbrook thinks he's Derek Rose now. He needs some perspective.

[NewJerSpur]

Perkins needs to throw some more elbows.

:lmao

[100%duncan]

Peja Bomb. LOL "defense"

[Andrew Cunanan]

You know it's bad when Nate Robinson seems like a viable alternative

[Spur-Addict]

Stop it Perk, just stop it.

:lol

Bullshit calls for OKC to close the half

[100%duncan]

lol okc lol lead to deficit

[davethedope]

You know it's bad when Nate Robinson seems like a viable alternative

Nate is a beast in the playoffs. Remember last year. Doc nearly benched
Rando.

[NewJerSpur]

Good start, bad end to the half....but the game is still in reach. Thunder have high percentage opprtunities at the baskets but aren't taking good shots or making the right pass like they were early in the game. Stop turning the ball over and rotate to the 3 and the gfame should be tight going into the 4th.

[Killakobe81]

Dirk is an amazing shooter. he is so good it is rubbing off on Peja and Terry ...heck even JJB

[davethedope]

Marion's gonna bleed to death during halftime

[jag]

Thank God Jason Terry can ball. He has the mind of an infant so there aren't many other options.

[Giuseppe]

So far.

So bad.

[midnightpulp]

So far.

So bad.

Dirk leads this team to a ring, he tops Kobe in my top ten list.

How do ya likes that slice 'o pie?

[Texas Chili Dog]

Dirk is making me so hard.


Seriously, I have mesh shorts on and I think I have a hole in the front of them now.

[ogait]

Ibaka on Dirk won't work, hope they change it on the second half. Not only he can't guard him but they are also wasting his blocking and altering shots ability. They could've use that when Barea was on the floor instead of converging on his penetrations and leaving shooters opened. That's when it all started for the Mavs comeback.

[LkrFan]

Dirk leads this team to a ring, he tops Kobe in my top ten list.

How do ya likes that slice 'o pie?

Right. :rolleyes

[Spurologist]

Westbrook has to play better or this series will be short.

He should be abusing Kidd. He's been out of control too much in his drives. It's only a 7pt lead with Dirk going off...the law of averages will come into play later. You're right...bottomline is Westbrook has to put up big numbers and get role players involved. OKC seems to space the ball a lot better with Maynor on the floor. He should get more burn if Westbrook can't deliver.

[Banzai]

ya motherfucka

[Killakobe81]

I'm sending Kidd's man or Marion's or Stevenson's at Dirk ...

[Killakobe81]

thank god jason terry can ball. He has the mind of an infant so there aren't many other options.

You're not doing the stereotypes of your fanbase any favors.

They could've use that when Barea was on the floor instead of converging on his penetrations and leaving shooters opened. That's when it all started for the Mavs comeback.

Maybe Collison (if they don't hit him with fouls for being physical) or Thabo might get their turns next, but they're both smaller and KD isn't strong enough. Tough call for Brooks giving up the shotblocking at the rim, but Ibaka is the best equipped to guard Dirk, even with Dirk getting his imo overall. That may change.

[DMC]

Magic: "If my man is hot" and he gets a few sweat beads across his forehead... then "also too". lol

[midnightpulp]

Right. :rolleyes

Argue against it.

What?

5 rings?

Dirk plays with Shaq for 7 seasons, then with Gasol/Bynum/Odom for another 4, he has at least 3 rings.

Here's a guy who's never had any sort of interior player playing alongside him, something Kobe has had the benefit of his entire career.

Dirk has better individual playoff stats all across the board than "The Mamba."

If he closes this season, he gets his due. Over Kobe Bryant.

I guess that would include Duncan as well ...because we all know Kobe is over timmy ...

[NewJerSpur]

Dallas' interior defense has been impressive, but OKC's bigs (particularly Nazr and Perk) make things easier on them when they don't catch the ball cleanly or make quick moves when in positions to score. The only one that hasn't looked bad out there to start is Serge and he's got 3 fouls. The wings can't be the only ones finishing at the rim if this game is going to swing back.

[DMC]

I guess that would include Duncan as well ...because we all know Kobe is over timmy ...
Too bad Pau isn't over Shannon

[jag]

Magic makes Jalen Rose look like Bob Costas.

[sefant77]

Terry got some weak ass foul calls...

[Texas Chili Dog]

You're not doing the stereotypes of your fanbase any favors.

I can't help myself.


Who needs porn when you have Dirk's jumpshot?

[Killakobe81]

Maybe Collison (if they don't hit him with fouls for being physical) or Thabo might get their turns next, but they're both smaller and KD isn't strong enough. Tough call for Brooks giving up the shotblocking at the rim, but Ibaka is the best equipped to guard Dirk, even with Dirk getting his imo overall. That may change.

Disagree. I say Ibaka is being wasted. Dirk is killing plus he is NOT able to protect the rim. Sefolosha might be a better choice especially if you gonna help anyways ...

[NewJerSpur]

Terry got some weak ass foul calls...

True.
