vs Mavericks - 2016 Playoffs - First Round Series Thread

[01Snake]

Can't believe he bricked those 2 FT's

[DarrinS]

Has a team with two "top 5" players in the NBA ever been such underachievers? They should be wrecking this Mavs team that wasn't even supposed to make the playoffs.

Truth bomb

[in2deep]

:lmao Meth cookers :lol

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao what an ending, fatass choked

Yeah, Westbrook missed that open layup to win it.

[random21]

How the f did OKC lose!?

[01Snake]

Cuban, LOL

[daslicer]

First mavs win Ive ever been happy about :lmao

Not for me I was happy with all their wins against the Lakers in '11.

[in2deep]

:lol Durant :lol

no NBA 1st team for you clown :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Felton would have murdered Patty & folks wanted the Mavs:lol

[Obstructed_View]

"It looks like he got it off in plenty of time!"

Replay shows player still has his entire hand around the ball, official takes half a second to realize it's not even close.

:lmao

Fucking homer announcers. GTFO.

Frankly I'm surprised they gave that to the Mavs. All three Thunder players committed blatant lane violations on Felton's second freebie. Fucking Westbrook was literally lying in the paint when Felton let it go.

[DPG21920]

What a crazy ending. That is a big win for Dallas, especially on the road. I really hope Dallas can at least win one at home. Keep pushing these Thunder as much as possible.

[Keepin' it real]

Why doesn't Durant ever suck like that against the Spurs?

[noles1983]

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yep :lol

[Killakobe81]

Felton gave them a chance ...
Freaking Durant went up soft ...
Loss on him tbh

[Chris]

OKC fan got trolled hard :lol

[01Snake]

OKC loses AND the Anderson's got tickets!! Are we going to see a GS loss for the hat trick/trifecta?

[DPG21920]

I don't know how these Mavs do it tbh...Just RC putting guys in right spots and they play hard. It helps that OKC did not play well, especially KD, but damn. Winning on the road in the playoffs is no small task.

[Darth_Pelican]

Westbrook & Durant both knew it was no good as soon as it happened. Go back and look at their reactions when everyone else was celebrating.

[Spurminator]

Insane ending. Insanely bad play-by-play from Brian Anderson.

[spurs10]

Can't believe he bricked those 2 FT's Probably gave them the win. OKC had to score without writing up a play.

[Robz4000]

Yeah, Westbrook missed that open layup to win it.

Huh durant missed the layup ...

[PopTheGOAT]

yep, the role players were all hyped too :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Why doesn't Durant ever suck like that against the Spurs?

He & Westbrick were struggling against the Grizz, it was Reggie Jackson that bailed 'em out from going down 3-1 in 2014:

Great coaching is underrated

Carlisle is such a baller.

They always have a bunch of guards that go off: Ellis, Barea, Harris, Felton, Terry, Vince

[Kawhitstorm]

Westbrook & Durant both knew it was no good as soon as it happened. Go back and look at their reactions when everyone else was celebrating.

They are going to be pouting at their post game conference, which is customary for them after a loss.:lol

[baseline bum]

Why doesn't Durant ever suck like that against the Spurs?

He shot 6-19 and 11-25 in the two games against Kawhi this year.

[baseline bum]

OKC loses AND the Anderson's got tickets!! Are we going to see a GS loss for the hat trick/trifecta?

Houston should win this, but they'll probably find a way to fuck shit up.

[Kawhitstorm]

RC > Pop tbh

RC lost to the Boban/Fat Head/Simmons in an important game.:lol

[Arcadian]

"It looks like he got it off in plenty of time!"

Replay shows player still has his entire hand around the ball, official takes half a second to realize it's not even close.

:lmao

Fucking homer announcers. GTFO.

I know, right? I saw it happen in real time and immediately thought "yeah that's totally late." It was their third shot attempt after pushing the ball downcourt with 7 seconds left.

:lol Us being more objective than professional announcers

[Kawhitstorm]

Houston should win this, but they'll probably find a way to fuck shit up.

Thunder :lmao :lmao :lmao

Yep he blocked durant twice too on jumpers

[HI-FI]

:lol what a finish. RC is the shit.

[DPG21920]

Yep he blocked durant twice too on jumpers

DPOY

[Obstructed_View]

And at the exact same time, the Dallas Stars were shitting away a 2-goal lead on the road.

[Robz4000]

RC lost to the Boban/Fat Head/Simmons in an important game.:lol

Eh, not his fault his players play like shit sometimes; he's a coach, not a god. Plus I don't think he took that game all that serious considering they were locked in at 6 anyway.

[Killakobe81]

DPOY

No major issues with him winning i said it was close ...

[spursistan]

Think this is going 6..they will comeback 2-2 to Oklahoma...

[SAGirl]

Wow Thunder losing. Durant chucking.

[Obstructed_View]

Matthews got smashed on that screen and got up and made two amazing plays. Always gotta be impressed when a team wins in Reflahoma.

[SAGirl]

He & Westbrick were struggling against the Grizz, it was Reggie Jackson that bailed 'em out from going down 3-1 in 2014:

0eHfcxEPlOA
Wow true I had forgotten about that.

[Kawhitstorm]

Eh, not his fault his players play like shit sometimes.

But he's going to get ALL the credit when Felton goes nuclear?:lol

[SAGirl]

But he's going to get ALL the credit when Felton goes nuclear?:lol
I would rather give credit to Kyle/Simmons/Boban. Kyle had a double/double that game, the first of his career and 5 steals. Simmons and Boban had career nights. :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Insane ending. Insanely bad play-by-play from Brian Anderson.

W7u_avvtbcw

[Robz4000]

But he's going to get ALL the credit when Felton goes nuclear?:lol

Of course not, but lets not pretend he didn't make some nice adjustments throughout the game. Was most likely RC that called Fatton's number in the first place; turning to Meijri was a great move too.

Gotta go check on the bbq grill. dog and cat dish amirite?

Thought dallas was gonna lose tbh

[Keepin' it real]

He shot 6-19 and 11-25 in the two games against Kawhi this year.

Granted, but even those performances were a far cry from 7 for 33 like tonight. Plus there was no Kawhi tonight.

...1:1

...stolen homecourt advantage :D

[Obstructed_View]

Thats hard to believe

Haven't really understood how all the talking heads seemed to lump the Thunder in with the Spurs and Dubs as first round walkovers.

I don't think any of that matters when your C team beat the mavs :lol

:worthy:

:lmao Just saw nba.com highlight. Westbrick is fucking faggot

[Killakobe81]

playoff Rick = the shit, tbh

:worthy:

Not sure why people are downplaying his contributions. Sure, Felton played his best game since the NCAA tourney at UNC ....(LOL at those choke Ft's though)
But RC made some great adjustments ..
It also took some horrific Durant shooting ...

But if Pop had one a game like that ...

minus KL (Parsons)
minus Tony (Dwill)
Minus Patty (JJB)
and with Duncan throwing up airballs in the clutch

We would all be saying what a great job Pop did ...

[Killakobe81]

Gotta also give the Mavs players props for last night's gutty comeback win ... especially Felton, Anderson and even Matthews (for the last 5 mins.)

[ElNono]

Durant should be shamed all over the sports sites for missing that wide open layup to win the game, tbh, but I bet he's going to get a pass again, then he's going to bitch about how "the media is tough" on him... :lol

[Killakobe81]

They claim it was blocked by anderson I did not see it on my 60 inch 4k tv but Durant gonna blocks the line of sight ...

Even if he did he should of went up strong instead of fading. Sure, they had not been giving him the 50-50 calls on drives but if he powers up through it I think he gets that call or at the very least forces the refs to make a tough decision ...he decided to fade and missed or got blocked ...

If that pre-game "dance" isn't enough to make everyone hate OKC, I don't know what will...

The issue would have been Porky/Patty would still have been in a rut going into the 2nd rd.

But the fact that it's 2016 and the best player Donnie could put around 50yo Dirk is that midget JJ Barea is shameful tbh.....

[Dex]

Refs in full OKC mode now.

I really don't know what the fuck this team does to get such a favorable whistle. Can you imagine if they still had Harden?

[clambake]

got em right where we want em

[Dex]

Thunder get all the calls and still act like someone ran over their dog when they get a foul called on them.

Can't wait to beat these assholes in the next round...no offense, Dallas.

[~O~]

The Thunder..aren't owed shit. This is what keeps them and the clippers from winning a championship.

[boutons_deux]

OKC shooting drops from 63% to 50%, giving DAL an opening, but then DAL % drops, too.

[Reck]

Goodbye fatass.

[Reck]

LOL double tech.

Fattie should be ejected.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

This has the feel of game 4 against the Mavs in 2014 when we led by 20 in the third and then their crowd just took over and we ended up tied with a minute to play

[daslicer]

Granted OKC is blowing the Mavs out but I still enjoy the intensity of this game. They have been some hard fouls and technicals.

[LkrFan]

Fat Felt:loln

[Spurs 4 The Win]

The refs are giving OKC the game, this is fuckin sad, Thunder are such a fake team, they can only hang with the elite when they get all the calls, otherwise they are just an ISO heavy monkeyball team

[lefty]

Holy shit even Porker is better than Fatton :lol

[Big Dog]

The Mavericks were a cute little team that was long in the tooth and wide in the belly. Over and done with, get the next one and close this one out back home.

[apalisoc_9]

Carlisle playing Lee significant minutes really ruined them. 130 points. Yuck. There is a reason GSW and Boston got rid of that bum

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Still got to win game 4 and 5 faggot

[Arcadian]

So dallas can only win when Durant and WB both play like shit - and even then, barely. :lol fags

[DenialTwist]

This tells us all we need to know.

Royce also said OKC had a scout in San Antonio too. I don't know why a spurs scout would waste time and money going to OKC when we all know what offense they run especially down the stretch of games, it's so predictable. The ball is in KD or WB's hands. Waiters, Ibaka and Kanter are invisible at the end of games. But I guess it's good to know any other details for the second round.

Can't believe that wasn't offensive foul on Waiters

[Cry Havoc]

Can't believe that wasn't offensive foul on Waiters

That is fucking inexcusable officiating. Good god. You can push someone from the bench now with no repercussions.

[DarrinS]

Couple of nice blocks

[DarrinS]

Mavs can't get any stops

[K...]

Real question...wOuld spur fan want deron Williams over Parker?

[dbestpro]

There are few teams that I have liked less than the Mavs, but I have to admit they are getting hosed. Games like this makes the conspirator theorists come out of the closet.

[DarrinS]

Lol, Ibaka flexing

[DarrinS]

Mavs D is terrible

[Reck]

Dumb mavs trying to be flashy. :lol

[apalisoc_9]

Should have benched Lee all together

[spursistan]

Should have benched Lee all together
Mejri out with hip injury..

[Mugen]

Kanter is going to be an issue against the Spurs' bench bigs tbh. Should be a great 2nd round.

[spursistan]

a pretty average series for Durant even with a 6'5 Wes Mathews coming off Achilles injury getting the primary task of guardian him..

[baseline bum]

What did Durant do to get kicked out?

[spursistan]

Durbeta lowkey melting down these playoffs before even seeing Kawhi :lol

[franforr]

wtf Durant

724067814919819264
724067745147408384

[ploto]

What did Durant do to get kicked out?
They called a flagrant 2. I do not think it was. I think Durant thought the guy was going to bring his arms up and shoot so he swung that way, but the guy instead passed and Durant hit him on the head.

[Spurs9]

:lol he could be suspended the next game.

Thats a flagrent 2 tbh

[baseline bum]

That should be an automatic one game suspension based on past history with hits to the head. If the league upholds the flagrant 2 it's also a one game suspension, isn't it?

[baseline bum]

Why is OKC so stupid at the end of games? :lol

[franforr]

it's clearly a flagrant 2 imo

[timtonymanu]

Kanter is going to be an issue against the Spurs' bench bigs tbh. Should be a great 2nd round.

Boban looked good on him. I wonder if Pop actually goes with him during the series.

[apalisoc_9]

Mejri out with hip injury..


He still played with Mejri healthy. Lee is fine together with one of mejri or pachulia. They have zero rim protection so its so easy tondrive to the basket. Carlise fucked up trying tk find minites for lee imo.

[spursistan]

Durant in 4 games: 24/6/3...34.4% (26.7 3PT%)

[baseline bum]

With all this anger and frustration Durant has been showing this last year or so OKC fan has to be really concerned he's walking. KD always seemed so cool and collected in the past.

[baseline bum]

Durant's really starting to look like 2010 LeBron.

[Mugen]

Boban looked good on him. I wonder if Pop actually goes with him during the series.

Might be worth a look tbh. I think Duncan on Kanter might work and West is a better matchup against Adams IMO.

[Obstructed_View]

:lol he could be suspended the next game.

Not a fucking chance. Juwan Howard wasn't suspended for taking out Derek Anderson.

[Spurs9]

Not a fucking chance. Juwan Howard wasn't suspended for taking out Derek Anderson.
Do you think it was a 2? If they keep it a 2, isnt it auto suspension? Draymond will also likley be suspended a game too at some point due to his technicals and picking up a flagrant by the leauge after the game for that last play.

[Arcadian]

Why is OKC so stupid at the end of games? :lol

They're just stupid people. They don't get smarter at the end of games.

[baseline bum]

Not a fucking chance. Juwan Howard wasn't suspended for taking out Derek Anderson.

Holy shit, he wasn't.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200105070SAS.html

I remember him pulling the same bullshit on Malik Rose in Game 3. Still, the NBA seems to have a zero tolerance rule on hits to the head, though maybe that was a Stern thing.

[Banzai]

Durantula and Westbrick dressing ridiculous..ya they make millions..but why dress like clowns? Lol

[Obstructed_View]

Do you think it was a 2? If they keep it a 2, isnt it auto suspension? Draymond will also likley be suspended a game too at some point due to his technicals and picking up a flagrant by the leauge after the game for that last play.

Didn't seem like it to me. As an accidental hit, it's arguable that it was either unnecessary or excessive. Obviously since there was head contact they needed to call it, and I think made it a 2 so they could get him out of there at that situation in the game. It's possible the league downgrades it to a 1, though.

Draymond slung a guy to the floor right in front of the officials while the other team was trying to make a critical inbounds play. League sweethearts. There's no way he gets suspended IMO.

[Obstructed_View]

Holy shit, he wasn't.

That's the closest I've ever seen for a Spurs team to lose their cool. When he pulled that shit after basically ending the team's season, they were fucking angry.

Found this old article and thought it was interesting, particularly where Nash thinks it was just a regular playoff foul and Don Nelson wanted the league to downgrade it to a flagrant 1.

http://a.espncdn.com/nba/playoffs2001/2001/0506/1192201.html

[Kawhitstorm]

Not a fucking chance. Juwan Howard wasn't suspended for taking out Derek Anderson.

Neither was Horry after hip checking Nash:lol

You have to throw a punch or make ZERO basketball play to get suspended especially for someone of KD's caliber.

[JohnnyMax]

Spurs fan wishing injury on OKC players:


Anyone watching how nasty the OKC-Dallas series has gotten? Durant just got ejected for a Flagrant II. He already got fined for a cheap shot in the last game.

There was a play earlier in the game where Dallas was trying to inbound the ball, and one of the jackasses sitting on the Thunder bench had the ball and decided to play keep-away. Total chickenshit thing to do, and an "altercation" started over it. The refs did their usual, and called double technicals.

I don't usually like it when people call for a player to get hurt. But I wouldn't mind if Westbrook... or Durant... or Ibaka broke a leg like Paul George did. Not because it would make them easier to beat - I'd just like to see it happen.

Heh. As I'm typing this, there were more dirty elbows being thrown on another FT, and Ibaka scored a technical. Only seconds left, and the game was out of reach. It was just nasty play. The Spurs will beat OKC, but it's a series that could get someone hurt. OKC is trying to show everyone who the bully on the block is this postseason.

[Obstructed_View]

Neither was Horry after hip checking Nash:lol
Actually he was, but it was for making contact above the shoulders on Raja Bell when he got rushed after the foul. It was a lame excuse by the NBA to try to look fair.

[Obstructed_View]

Do you think it was a 2? If they keep it a 2, isnt it auto suspension? Draymond will also likley be suspended a game too at some point due to his technicals and picking up a flagrant by the leauge after the game for that last play.

I saw this play from another angle and started to question my earlier reply. I happened to catch the replay of the game last night rather than just watching the play by itself, and that kid was playing KD hard, and had a little bit of success against him on both ends. I'm starting to think the hit was intentional. If you watch, KD wasn't swiping where the ball was, he just went right for the head.

[DarrinS]

This won't end well

[benefactor]

Mavs hanging around

[DarrinS]

Only down 3?

[Chinook]

Holy hell that illegal screen call on Dirk was late.

[DarrinS]

Russ' dance partner is a huge faggot

[DarrinS]

Holy hell that illegal screen call on Dirk was late.

MethRef

[Mugen]

Spurs rebound the ball and the 2nd round is over in 5 tbh.

[DarrinS]

Russ has great court vision when he chooses to use it

[DPG21920]

Mavs can't grab a board here to save their lives. OKC chucking away.

[Mugen]

If the Mavs even rebounded the ball at a decent clip, this series would have likely gone to 6 games. They've just absolutely been decimated this series and is the biggest reason they're going out in 5 tbh

[DarrinS]

I genuinely feel sorry for Dirk

[DPG21920]

I am so pumped for this OKC/SA series. Going to be great. Hope LMA puts their bigs in the damn hurt locker. Our team rebounds so much better than DAL too so if OKC chucks like they have here, SA in a great spot.

[BillMc]

I genuinely feel sorry for Dirk
Gave up a ton of cash to build a contender but Cubes can't get it done.

[Mugen]

Pretty underwhelming series for Russ/KD tbh. Waiters/Ibaka/Kanter/Adams have all been terrific...

[DPG21920]

They cannot get dirk the ball right now. Dirk looks out of gas some, can't fight through defenders to establish position.

[Kawhitstorm]

Did Kanter get kneed on the jewels?:lol

[Mugen]

Anderson is gonna be a really nice player in this league tbh.

[DPG21920]

Have to hand it to Dallas, fighting hard despite having an awful team talent wise. OKC should be stepping on them ASAP. You cannot mess around and lose this game at home.

[Robz4000]

If that Kanter injury is serious then OKC loses its one advantage off the bench against the Spurs.

Carlisle tbh

Kanter to locker room, lol

Mavis scrappy

[DPG21920]

Anderson is gonna be a really nice player in this league tbh.

Guys like him, Winslow, etc.. Have impressed me. At least enough to where I think they are worth investing into for these teams. For both, they have good builds and have shown many good things - just need that offensive development.

[Mugen]

Pop should have a massive coaching advantage against Scotty Donovan tbh

[DPG21920]

Going to need WB to WB here at the end and Dallas has to rebound.

[K...]

damn these mavs are scrappy

[Robz4000]

Refs to the rescue

[Kawhitstorm]

If that Kanter injury is serious then OKC loses its one advantage off the bench against the Spurs.

Supposedly a rib injury, those things take a while to heal. If it's a fractured rib then he's going to miss 2-3 weeks (Bogut missed the 2014 playoff after fracturing his rib late in the season)

I'd like to think so but after fucking Uncle Tom Rivers outcoached him last year all bets are off.

Supposedly a rib injury, those things take a while to heal. If it's a fractured rib then he's going to miss 2-3 weeks (Bogut missed the 2014 playoff after fracturing his rib late in the season)

:lol god damn things really could be aligning perfectly for the Spurs this year.

[K...]

it's sad if this is the last minutes of dirks career. No i don't have feels or nothing. It's just sympathy

[DPG21920]

Westbrook playing great, but he got so lucky there :lol

[Mugen]

I'm telling ya....Spurs rebound the ball and that shit is over in 5 tbh

[Keepin' it real]

Durant clear travel.

[Robz4000]

Game. Set. Match. Dallas just couldn't get a rebound. If they had an elite rebounder (DeMonkey) they prolly take this to 7.

[daslicer]

That Roberson put back after that ridiculous 3 point miss by Westbrook is what broke the Mav's back.

they'll have dwighyt next year, keep the hope mav fan

[Killakobe81]

RC, Dirk, Felton anderson, Harris and Powell have really showed great heart ...

[Killakobe81]

Cubes says Russis not a superstar before game 5 and Westbrook bustin' dat ass

[DPG21920]

Wes was just flat out bad this year. First year back off a tough injury, but Mav fans have to be nervous about him with that contract and his injury history. Then Parsons injured and everything else, just a hero's effort to make it this far.

[Budkin]

I'd like to think so but after fucking Uncle Tom Rivers outcoached him last year all bets are off.

Not to mention Scott Brooks in 2012. Moved Sefalosha onto Parker and Pop never figured out how to counter.

My nigga

[Mugen]

:lol Cameron Payne is such a fuccboi tbh, that nigga has been shuckin' n jivin' the last 3 months while racking up DNPs....

Act like somebody, clown......

[Mugen]

With such a huge talent deficit plus injuries this series, you would think Rick would have given more mins. to Anderson/Powell.....

wouldn't have changed the series outcome but you see what you have there tbh....

[baseline bum]

Anderson is going to get a hell of a fine for that shit.

[Chris]

Beautiful elbow drop by Anderson. Macho Man approved :tu

[daslicer]

Wow OKC nearly getting in a brawl at the end.

[Killakobe81]

I agree but Cant fault his work he made these games closer than they should be ...

[daslicer]

Give Anderson credit he used his last two fouls wisely. He got in a slap at Durant and then an elbow smash on Westbrook.

[Robz4000]

Anderson tried to do the lord's work on that. God bless. It's also why I didn't want Dallas in the first round.

[Mugen]

:lol I was already high on Anderson but that nigga just shot up the charts in my book tbh....

[Killakobe81]

Beautiful elbow drop by Anderson. Macho Man approved :tu

:lol it was definitely vintage Randy Savage

[mclinejr]

Beautiful elbow drop by Anderson. Macho Man approved :tu

Should have done it a tad bit harder.

[Chris]

why is Westbrook on the floor? lol coaching n/m jumpball lol fans

[LakerHater]

So Spurs start Thurs.?

:lol no shit

[Robz4000]

Any chance they'll take Porker and Matty Beast for him?

[Mugen]

I agree but Cant fault his work he made these games closer than they should be ...

Yeah it's a minor criticism in the microcosm of the series....

But the biggest knock on Rick has always been his reluctance to play young guys.

[Killakobe81]

:lol I was already high on Anderson but that nigga just shot up the charts in my book tbh....

Good college player showed some heart this closeout game

[Robz4000]

So Spurs start Thurs.?

Where'd you see that?

[Mugen]

Det nigga Whi gonna do some work on Pizza Face and the Cross Dresser tbh...

[LakerHater]

Where'd you see that?was a question

[Killakobe81]

What i do like if they meet again it should be just as heated if not more so ...luv 2 see dat.

[Mugen]

Any chance they'll take Porker and Matty Beast for him?

Donnie is a terrible GM so you never know tbh

[Splits]

So Spurs start Thurs.?

Saturday at the earliest

[Kawhitstorm]

RC, Dirk, Felton anderson, Harris and Powell have really showed great heart ...

It seems like this squad have bad blood stemming from the 2011 & 2012 series.
-2011: Mavs beat OKC in the WCF when they were an up & coming team (seems like OKC has HATED the Mavs ever since)
-OKC swept the Mavs in 2012 when they were the defending champs which left a bitter taste in Cuban & 'em.

[TXstbobcat]

Saturday at the earliest

Game 1 is on Saterday

If the Mavs even rebounded the ball at a decent clip, this series would have likely gone to 6 games. They've just absolutely been decimated this series and is the biggest reason they're going out in 5 tbh


I am so pumped for this OKC/SA series. Going to be great. Hope LMA puts their bigs in the damn hurt locker. Our team rebounds so much better than DAL too so if OKC chucks like they have here, SA in a great spot.
OKC is a historically great rebounding team tbh I wouldn't bet on out rebounding them.

but with Kanter out 2-3 weeks, I am more inclined to think we can make this a quick series. Man OKC has shit luck with injuries :lol

no real limit on the karma destroyed by moving a great team from a great city into the meth infested heart of OKLAHOMA.

Where'd you see that with Kanter?

Where'd you see that with Kanter?

Billy Donovan said that Kanter should be fine for the series, actually.

[Robz4000]

Billy Donovan said that Kanter should be fine for the series, actually.

Damn, if Kanter were out I could see the Spurs winning in 5. Unless Pop breaks up the Diaw/West pairing he'll swing a game by himself.

[Kawhitstorm]

I genuinely feel sorry for Dirk

This series pushed his career postseason rebounding average down to 9.9 just like Kirby cucked his career PPG to 24.9:lol

Kareem won:
"I don't think you can average 25 and 10 over your playoff career and not be dominant."-Dirk

[313]

Where'd you see that with Kanter?
I was just going by what I read in the thread. If he's out that would be huge, he's a big reason for their rebounding advantage.

[lefty]

:lol Durant called Cuban an idiot in the press conference

:lol Durant called Cuban an idiot in the press conference

He is a smart dude who says dumb shit ...
It was no CIA Cuban move he wanted to prop Dirk and was saying Durant is in his class, Russ is not ...and Russ got in the Mavs ass ...his fault.
