[spursistan]

Dallas looked awful against our 3rd stringers .got swept in regular season by Thunder...tempted to give them a one game in OT like the many they bull ted this season

[siraulo23]

Thunder sweep

[daslicer]

OKC in 5.

[apalisoc_9]

Thunder in 6.

I do think that Dallas was ot of sorts against San Antonio, but the last 10 games before that they've reinvented themselfs defensively.

With Parson out, theyve been able to put at least 1 defensive guy in the perimter, Mejri is a really good defensive big etc.

It should be compe ive. Imo.

OKC in 6

Dallas just has nothing on the interior, defensively, Westbrook and Durant are going to live inside the paint and at the FT line..

I could see them winning a game if they get hot from 3 off Barea penetration(combined with Russ having a 5-20 from the field type of game), though..

[ElNono]

Hopefully Pachulia injures somebody, tbh... Could be useful for the next round

[Mugen]

Thunder in 5. Hopefully Rick can work his Magic and extend it to 7 a la 2014 tbh.

They've looked decent guarding the drive the last ten games. With Parsons out, theyve been subbing their defensive rookie for mathews essentially giving them two perimter defenders. Jim carrey has also started to play Mejri significant minutes depending on the matchup..hes surprisingly good as a rim protector.

He also plays Lee and dirk together though..so could be an easy sweep too.

I will go out on a limb and say Thunder in 7. But it will probably be OKC in 5. I feel if its 2-2 after 4 then Carslile will have figured something out and they will push it to 7.

OKC has been good for blowing leads this year, so I guess I'll give the Mavs one game. That's it though.

[Holden_Caulfield]

I believe in one good Dirk/Barea/Carlisle game.

[Robz4000]

Meth in 5.

[hater]

Seteven Adams will put Pichuli in an EMS helicopter. Mavs limping into the playoffs. Meth cookers in 5

I was getting a bit excited with this little run we put together to end the season but after last night's absolute joke of a game reality set in again This is going to be brutal to watch tbh
