okc's bench went off. Harden went off.

the game swung emotionally in the 2nd half. Okc was more confident and wanted it more.

Watched the second part of the fourth quarter yesterday. Brooks should be fired. Dirk was great, but Dallas only has two guys who can score and one who can carry them offensively, yet Brooks had Nick Collison guarding Dirk straight up. No double team. Re-dang-diculous. Take the ball out of Dirk's hands and make Jason Terry beat you.

Dallas doubled Durant, took the ball out of his hands, and let Westbrook jack up wild shots. Pathetic performance by OKC. They had no clue how to run their offense (whatever it is) in the fourth quarter.

Durant was horrible in the fourth. His three ball with three seconds left in regulation, from about three feet behind the arc was one of the worst decisions I've seen from a superstar player. He has a lot of growing up to do.

I'm starting to think Up might have been right about Dallas. I'm still not a believer, but their playoff run has been pretty impressive so far.

Other than Chicago in game 1 against Miami, I have not seen a team that really looks like a championship caliber team. None of them have blown me away.

I hate to admit this but I'm thinking Miami is going to run Dallas out of the building with their athleticism and defense. Boy, was I wrong about Miami against Chicago. Obviously one game in a best of 7 series means DICK.

Anyone think Lebron will guard Dirk in this series? If so, that will be fun to watch. Or maybe Bosh with his wingspan? I absolutely hate the NBA finals series format of 2-3-2. Anyone agree? it definitely adds a twist to the Finals but otherwise I'd rather they keep the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

I think Miami should win, but neither one of these teams is great. They both won in five, but they were very close games.

I suspect Bosh will start off on Dirk. LeBron can't guard him. He did shut down Rose, but no way he controls Dirk without help.

I don't have strong feelings about the format. Don't really care much.

The NBA sorta owes Dallas after that 2006 fiasco.

Should be an epic finals.

Dallas's guards j.j, terry and kidd should have their way with miami's frontocurt like they did against the lakers.

Dallas has no one that can guard wade or lebron. They do have bodies they can throw at them though.

Good luck guarding dirk.

Dos Equis · « **Reply #182 on:** May 27, 2011, 02:01:56 PM »

Kidd can guard Wade. Marion will do o.k. with LeBron. I think the biggest matchup problem is Dirk.

Dos Equis · « **Reply #183 on:** May 31, 2011, 12:39:01 PM »

Very interested to see how LeBron does guarding Dirk.

I don't think he can guard Dirk straight up, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I think he's only going to guard him in the fourth quarter, similar to the way they handled Rose.

Dos Equis · « **Reply #188 on:** May 31, 2011, 08:56:44 PM »

Good performance by the Heat, especially Prince James. They beat Dallas at their own game: the long ball.

Not exactly blown away. Wouldn't surprise me if Dallas won game 2.

Is it football season yet?

I've been saying all season that Dallas will have to make a believer out of me. Still feel that way. I think it's Miami's series to lose.

Didn't see James guard Dirk, like many were predicting.

Great win by Dallas. It was pretty funny to see Miami fall apart after the celebration, chest bumping, grandstanding, etc. that was going on in the first part of the fourth quarter.

We got us a series.

Actually, the series is tied 1-1.

Earl is a prime example of what is wrong with Miami. Just expecting it to happen. No doubt Miami has more talent, but thinking they can just rest on that and cruise to a title might bite them in the ass.

Legendary comeback by the mavs. Terrible game management by the heat. Chest bumps, fade-away 3's..fail.

more wishful thinking, believing they think the title will just be handed to them
