If Harden gets the rock and drains a 3, great. However, like tonight, if we start out cold with our jumpshots, we have no answer. We have no plays. Dallas was picking and rolling all night......I can't recall seeing us one time picking and rolling. And the refs were horrible. We got lucky, Dallas should have received way more calls.
    The Thunder are still the NBA's highest scoring team in the playoffs. Not really fair to say they have no offense.

    They just got off to a horrible start offensively and couldn't drain their shots from beyond the arc.

    Monday night could be a completely different story. You just never know.

    As for the officiating...Let's just say I think Nick Collison did an outstanding job adjusting to it in his defense on Dirk.

    And somebody give Harden an Oscar for his flop on the Chandler "elbow".
    Just imagine there's a really obnoxious graphical sig here

    What do you want him to do? NO ONE, including KD was scoring and here you have Westbrook who CAN score. Do you want him to continue passing it off like he did in the first three quarters? That didn't work so well did it?

    I disagree. At one time during the 4th, I watched Westbrook dribble down the court with his eyes solely on the basket. Harden was wide open, throwing his arms up.........Westbrook never even looked his way and ended up driving for the layup only to miss it. I'm sorry man, that's a problem. Another time after this, I saw Harden just standing there and not doing anything. He stood there and watched Westbrook take it to the hoop. His body language clearly showed that he knew he what was going to happen with Westbrook driving down the lane. That's why Dallas will probably pull this out. We lack ball movement in my opinion...Westbrook had 7 turnovers.

    So, I guess you were in the arena? Because there's no way you have that perspective from watching it on tv. I'm guessing you're a Westbrook hater from the beginning. He was the ONLY player making shots.

    Re: Western Conference Finals

    Big win for the Mavs...doesn't matter if it was by 6 or by 16. I was sure the Thunder would make a run, but I think the biggest key was that the Mavs were able to trade buckets those first 4 minutes or so of the 4th quarter. Dirk hit some big shots and Terry had that big jumper of the pick and roll to run the clock down to where the Thunder had no choice but to foul.

    MVP of the game for the Mavs had to be Marion. He was great on both ends of the floor tonight. I think all of his points were in the paint, and he did a nice job on Durant.

    Would not have thought if you told me before the game that if Dirk went 7-21 and Terry went 3-12, that the Mavs would have even had a chance of winning this game, but they found a way to win and that's all that matters.

    Oh and congrats to Harden on his flop. It was World Cup quality.

    You don't think Westbrook tries to do too much?

    Are you talking about RW? Because, if so, that's misleading. RW was the only player on the Thunder to make a 3 point shot.

    By the way, YES, I think he does try to much. But I didn't think so tonight. Tonight NOBODY (including KD) was making shots so he went for it. We needed a spark of the highest degree tonight and he was all we had. No one else was going to step up. If he shoots as much and plays the same on Monday I will probably be upset.

    Westbrook didn't force KD to go stagnant on defense, stagnant on offense and brick 95% of his shots

    The Thunder played like as$ tonight

    On offense they did, but on defense they seemed to stop everything.

    Re: Western Conference Finals

    The first quarter was the problem. I think that should be obvious to everyone. We start every game with 2 scorers on the floor and our best defender on the bench then get in a big hole about 75% of the time. Dallas is just too good to overcome that kind of a first quarter.
    THANK GOD I'M A SOONER!

    Re: Western Conference Finals

    Man you Thunder fans are such hypocrits. In game 1 Dallas shot 7 less free throws than the Thunder but because Dirk had 24 by himself (even though Durant and Westbrook each had 18) you guys whined and moaned saying the officials were screwing OKC which is just ignorant to say. Now this game OKC shoots 36 free throws to Dallas' 18 and as one of you say, "its because the thunder are playing a great defense." Thats hilarious. See the end result though? Last nights game was a total screw job against Dallas, yet they still found a way to win the game, thats what GREAT teams do.

    With all that said, Im still a Thunder fan but Dallas will always be my first team, but my god, you diehard Thunder fans need to get your heads out of your asses and quit acting like the only way they ever lose is because the refs screw them, it makes the fanbase look so ignorant. How bout getting ahold of that hothead Westbrook who can only score 30pts on 30 or more shots which drives down team morale. Hes a damn liability with a boatload of talent but way too selfish.

    Oh and I know all Thunder fans arent like this, this is just a bunch that ive seen on here, and before you tear into me remember, BOOMER SOONER!
