Tyson Chandler: "we took the Thunder too lightly"

[Axe Murderer]

don't blame him. it's hard to get up for scrub teams like the Thunder.

"When you're afraid of a team or you feel like a team can beat you every single night, you go out there and you play with a certain type of edge," Chandler said, explaining the Mavs' approach while busting out the brooms against Kobe Bryant & Co. "I feel like we came out here and we took these boys lightly. There's a reason why they're in the Western Conference finals. They're not a team to be taken lightly, so we've got to make our adjustments and come out and win Game 3."

Typical Mavs. Frontrunning jumpchokers still. When they're the underdogs or being doubted, they fight. When they're the favorites, they wilt.

Before Dirk shot those 3 FT's, I KNEW he was going to miss one. Just knew it. Dirk defenders will say "He was bound to miss one" but in that situation you CAN'T miss one. And even tho it's a GNSF opinion, I believe it 100% - Tim Duncan, as ty a FT shooter as he is, would have drained all 3 of them with the game on the line.

It's too bad Dirk choked at the line, the Mavs could've taken that game if he just didn't choke.

That was Dirk just showing he's past his prime, tbh.

I've seen Tim miss big FTs at the end of games plenty times. Of course, those 4 rings do weigh down the shooting hand.

OKC just had a fluke hot shooting game... Mavs in 6-7

Nice goalpost move...

The Mavs were never in the position to win a championship. They only won 2 games. If it was game 4 and Dirk missed the winning FT, that's different.

For real I wasn't talking about Dirk. Didn' you post a comment saying something like: "Spurs would have one more championship if it wasn't for Duncan's FTs" or something like that or am I just going crazy?

[quentin_compson]

I don't know if the Mavs took the Thunder too lightly, but there might be some truth in saying that they were a bit complacent after reeling off seven straight playoff wins.
They've got to pick it up defensively. In both games so far, OKC were scoring much too efficiently from Dallas' point of view.

I said his 4 rings weigh down the shooting hand. Duncan never missed any championship winning free throws. I don't think he's ever attempted any.

I swear to the FSM that I read "If Duncan was a better FT shooter the Spurs would have at least one more champioship, I think" or something like that. Didn't you write that and then edited it? Please answer me with the true 'cause I'm worried for my mental sake
