    I caught that. Sorry for not noticing.

    All I was trying to say is Durant was getting the benefit of some touch calls.

    Re: On behalf of all Mavs fans...

    It's a great matchup, not sure which team will win...but I do know this:

    1.) Dirk is good, but he played out of his mind. He probably averages 25-28 points per game, not 48. That won't happen very often.
    2.) Jet scored 24 points. He averages around 16 points I would guess. That won't happen every game.
    3.) JJ Barea scored 21 points. He averaged 9.1 points over the season. That won't happen every game.

    Take away any one of those three and the Thunder win game 1. The Mavs may still win it all, but I don't see them shooting out of their minds through the entire series. Good shooting is good shooting, but playing unconscious seldom lasts.

    That has been the thing that has been different about this Mavs team though. It used to be that teams knew Dirk was going to get his so they focused on shutting down Terry, the Mavs primary secondary scorer. However, this time around it has really been Dirk and then secondary scorer by committee. Some nights it's Terry with a big game, other times it has been Barea. Peja has had some big scoring games, as has Kidd. Then there are even nights where Marion and Chandler chip in more on the offensive end than normal.

    This versatility has allowed the Mavs to become far less predictable on offense and has helped to keep opposing defenses off balance.

    Everbody is talking about offense and shedding little light on defense. Truth is, even when the Mavs have found themselves down, it hasn't been by much at all.

    You do that, and you risk the Mavs 3 point shooters going nuts.

    Granted, I don't think we'll ever see a performance like Game 4 against the Lakers. But Peja's a renowned 3 point shooter, which I'm sure many in OKC already know since he played for New Orleans during those 2 years they played most of their home games in OKC.

    Not mention, Kidd's really improved on his spot up 3's.

    And to be sure, the Mavs face that same threat from Westbrook and Harden if Durant ever gets hot and they try to double team him.

    If either of them get hot, you just have to hope for the best in defending them and also hope that nobody else compliments them. Because as devastating as Dirk was on offense against the Thunder defense, the kill shots were delivered by JJ and JET.

    If Durant's on and he gets help from Westbrook in any of the other games this series, OKC could be just as deadly.

    First Baron Davis, then Brian Wilson, now James Harden.

    If Dallas doesn't win this series, the site of a beard on an opposing player will be enough to push Dallas sports fans into the fetal position.
