Why do the Thunder suck in the 4th so bad?

THANK GOD I'M A SOONER!
I can't speak for the whole series but last night turnovers were killer, also a good unreported stat is Average Distance of Shot. Through the first 3 quarters of last nights game, the Thunder average shot distance was much less than the Mavs.
It was only in the 4th quarter where the Mavs average shot distance was lower than the Thunder. Thunder's average shot distance was a little over 14 feet...that doesn't seem too bad, but considering it was like 7 feet in the first then 7 in the second and 10 in the third. It definitely is an indicator that the Thunder were taking lower percentage shots further away from the basket in that final period.
They just didn't take care of the ball and they settled for too many perimeter jumpers down the stretch IMO.
Hardin fouled out and their offense went to crap, I guess.
Usually late in the game, especially if it's close, it comes down to who can execute better in their half court sets. The Thunder are not very good in the half court, they need to get out and run, but late in a close game those opportunities just aren't there.

Hell of a series! Like how Dirk didn't even stick around for a minute after they presented the trophy. He knows what's really important. Time re-group, rest up, and focus on the finals....sounds like the first game will be either June 1st or 2nd depending on how long the other series goes.
very classy of you
If Miami wins tomorrow, 1st game is May 31st. If it goes 6 or 7, Game 1 is June 2nd.

that's clearly a good reason to take a cheap shot. I'm glad not all Mav fans think like you. The proud Mav organization with a long history of championships has better fans than this.
Thanks!

All I can say is lets bring the Heat, Miami...I like Dirk and Kidd, but don't have much love for the rest of the Mavs and their organization. Here's to LeBron getting his first ring!

no problem. it's well-deserved.
Thanks!

Oh yeah....and how about doing all of this without a key player in Caron Butler?!?
Makes it all even more amazing IMO
No. thank U.
Dirks press conference when asked about not sticking around for end of trophy celebration: We already have one of those and it didn't really do us any good last time. When you get the Finals, there is no second place."
Love this guy. He's no Lebron crying after beating the Celtics...
