Nah. Thunder get through. They're just not that good.
Dallas steals one in OKC. I think OKC should've looked for a mid range shot. Durant or Westbrook shooting contested lay-ups is not their strong suit.
Now, can Dallas win the next two at home? Or is this just an anomaly (Westbrook/Durant 15-55)?
I'm encouraged by the fact that OKC was a sh** team in the 4th quarter in the regular season. They were just plus one in the fourth for the entire season and minus fifty since the all-star break. If Dallas can slow the game, play good defense, and get quality shots, then this could be interesting.
Would love to see Spurs drawing Dallas in the second round, obviously. Coming in fresh against GS would be BIG.

Oh my Dallas beating OKC would be awesome
I won't complain if we have a cake walk to the conference finals. Think the OKC-Dallas series goes six no matter who wins. Got to take care of our business though first.
One thing to watch for, Durant checking out, already thinking about next year.
Obviously I'd love to play Dallas, but c'mon, it's one gameDurant probably had his worst shooting night of his postseason career and OKC still only lost by 1. Wouldn't surprise me at all if OKC goes on to win in 5 still.
Well his shot has already left the building..
Carlisle might have JUST enough tricks left in his bag to steal another game.. Maybe..Obviously I'd love to play Dallas, but c'mon, it's one game
It would've been OKC in five had Durant made that final shot. I don't have much faith in Dallas still yet. But I do think Westbrook and Durant are thinking more about the future than the now; so, we'll see.
Dallas can become a house of horrors come playoff time, anything can happen there. If they take game 3, OKC is in trouble.
They will split the next 2 imo
Raymond Felton and Salah Merji aren't going to lead a team to a series victory against Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, tbh.
dallas has a great coach and a floor general and a plan and disciplined players..
OKC has a couple great players that arent mentally tough or well coached..
Lol mavs should steal another game.. Maybe push a third to overtime.. Gonna be fun..
Lee and Barea should be back next game. They should help at least win one more imo.
Dallas wont win but in all honesty they should split the home games, so 2-2, best out of 3 series, anything can go. The less games, the greater chance the inferior team wins.
They just need to push OKC to 7 games like they did to us in 2014.
Dallas has zero chance in this series, it´s just great because it tires OKC, gives us more margin to rest and it means the series is just one Dallas W away of going to 6 games which could be great.
We beat Dallas on their court with our third-string players a few days ago
Not a threat.
You'll want Dallas considering our series is farrrrr from over. 7 games baby
This is important. OKC narrowly lost by 1 on a night where KD took 33 shots and missed TWENTY-SIX of them. Glad the Mavs will last at least 5 games, and they might be able to steal another in Dallas, but KD won't reliably brick like that again.
Props to Rick Carlisle. if you watched the game and those defensive sets and execution, mad props to him. And the Mavs who played so hard...push to 7!
Durant has some confidence issue since last year's surgery.
Mavs didn't even look good, tbh, the disparity in talent was on display..they played harder + Durant having a historically bad game + Felton getting hot..they won by Adams being late by 0.1 on a tip-in, despite Durant playing as poorly as he could possibly play
They'll probably still lose in 5, although I suppose it's always possible that Westbrook could have one of his 5-20 games and OKC could lose 1 in Dallas..
If Dirk has a throwback 30+ point game and Felton continues to attack they can easily take one in Dallas.
Mavs are gonna take Game 3 imoMavs didn't even look good, tbh, the disparity in talent was on display..they played harder + Durant having a historically bad game + Felton getting hot..they won by Adams being late by 0.1 on a tip-in, despite Durant playing as poorly as he could possibly play
