Mavs blew their chance to win this series

[Latarian Milton]

mavs ain't repeating but they still have what is needed to settle the in the 1st round, making the 2nd round ain't an impossibility for them mavs this year tbh. i'd be a shame for the defending champs to get eliminated in the 1st round and it happened only ONCE in this century, 07' heat

I know that a win is a win but couldn't you play devil's advocate for a minute? The Mavs are suppose to have no chance at all to win this series yet they only lose by 1 point to a team that has been picked by many experts to represent the West in the Finals. Isn't that more of a negative toward OKC than the Mavs? If the Mavs make a couple more free throws or get a stop, they win game. It was that close.

I think OKC fans need to simma down now and stop celebrating after winning game 1 of the 1st round. If you win the West this year, then yeah celebrate it. If not, just don't.

Durant isn't going to have many games where he shoots that bad.

It's probably the most iffy series though.

OKC isn't getting past the Lakers.

[pass1st]

OKC isn't getting past the Lakers.

Probably not if Mavs do work and take them to 7 games, tiring them out.

[TDMVPDPOY]

durants only move when hsi shooting is the step back, yet so many players cant defend that ...why?

[Hooks]

Actually I think the Mavs recover and go on to win in 7...OKC will get no presumption of championship hubris from Kool until they actually take it..


The Mavs have no one on their team that I can honestly say I dislike...I may make fun of them but I don't dislike any of them....I think Cuban is an entertaining head, or face and that Wince Carter is jealous of Kobe...but I don't hate the guys...

they're the Champs and until OKC actually wins:

Go Mavs

experience was the main reason why it was a 1pt game as opposed to a blow out. OKC just be the better team in this series, i ain't writing off mavs chances here but ain't gonna be easy for them. they need to steal at least one game from OKC and defend all 3 games at home, if they have to play game 7 in OKC they are ED

Sad that the defending champs are just concerned with making this a close series. Way to set that bar. Dallas

^ Cuban

[hater]

but did they shoot some shots?

It is sad, but that's what happens when you make no effort to put your team in the position to defend the le

This series could go the distance and if so Dallas has 3 more chances to steal one.
