**OKC vs Dallas**

  • This is going to he a tight series, IMO.

    They always wear blue during playoffs (Thunder).

    It could be tight, OKC is a flawed team and won't get to the finals IMO. No true offense. All jump shots or one of those guys taking it to the tin. If the jumper isn't falling they are not all that good.

  • OKC needs to drive to the rim.. Not impressed with their half-court offense and the were one of the most turnover prone teams in the league.

    That said, they have the talent to go far.

    You'll see that all season on offense. They are a team that relies on the "1 man game".

    I am not a huge Westbrook fan TBH. They'd be better served having a guy like Nash or something.

  • Mavs only win if Terry/Kidd out play Harden/Westbrook.

    The Mavs' zone defense always becomes supreme during the playoffs, lol. They will have the edge, if it turns into a half court series.

    exactly, assists don't matter in a one man game offense. therefore westbrook is a damn good option for their offense because he's great at taking his man off the dribble.

    Except if OKC's jumpers aren't falling they have no chance.

    You'll see as these playoffs progress. Spurs will ruin them.

    that can be said about almost any team in the nba including your heat. the thing that makes the heat and thunder great is they have multiple players who are great at getting to and scoring around basket despite their lack of post presence.

    The Heat actually share the ball though, and their offense is built on attacking the hoop. Wade and LBJ score most of their baskets within 15 feet and in the post.

    Durant and Westbrook rely too much on their shots. It's going to hurt them in the end.

    Sure it could. You better hope your heat don't see the thunder in the finals though. They're the one team that actually would stand a chance against them. I hope that is the finals, it would be a great one.

    Agreed it would be an awesome finals. KD against LBJ would be awesome television.

    BTW I am cheering for the Heat, but I am a Raptors fan at heart. Just realize there is no point cheering for a dog chit team, so I want the King to get his rings while the Raps suck.

    The Heat would wipe the floor with OKC.

    The Heat would have tough matchups against the Mavs, Lakers, Grizzlies, and Celtics.

    I only say these teams because one has the ultimate zone defense (Mavs), and the others can play predominantly inside out.

  • When OKC gets going, they can go on a 15-2 run in the blink of an eye.

    I'm the same way. I'm a pistons fan and I still watch a lot of their games but it's fun rooting for a good team, so OKC it is, largely because of KD although I legitimately have grown to like this team.

    I'll be honest I didn't watch 1 full Raps game this year that wasn't against Miami.

    I wasn't going to torture myself watching the Raps play NBA "basketball" though.

    Calderon, Bargnani, Derozan, James Johnson, Amir Johnson aren't worth the time.

    the thunder match up with the heat better than any team in the nba. They have the length and shot blocking to challenge the heat on defense, they run the floor an force turnovers, have young legs and don't have anyone to match Harden's bench productivity. Oh and they have some guys named Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook who I hear are pretty good.

    The Mavs don't have Chandler anymore. The Heat blow out the Lakers every time they play. The Grizz have the perimeter defense to challenge so I'll give you that. The Clippers don't have anyone to guard Wade or Lebron.
