2011 WCF: (3) Mavericks vs (4) Thunder

[hova-]

Baaam, Kidd! I'm a Dirk fanboy, and I try to mention his greatness as often as possible and it was his assist, but Kidd's defense and this three point shot was great.

btw: Kevin Durant close to a triple double - 29/15 and 9 TOs.

[Drex]

Damn, I missed the comeback.

[Loupeitak]

Jason Kidd is amazing for a 38 year old. Incredible plays!

[NovU]

Kidd saves Dirk's choking ass. If Dirk choked anymore, somebody was gonna wheelchair him outta the court.

[Loupeitak]

And Mavs steal both games in Oklahoma
Kidd definitely deserves at least one ring in his carreer.

[Andrew]

Heartbreaking loss for the Thunder, but just a tremendous run for the Mavericks after Harden fouled out. Incredible.

[Mavs4Life]

Mavs to the finals. Dirk only choked shoting, but on the line throats as clear as fresh water.

[Lamrock]

Holy fuck

[Jeffx]

OKC got pounded on the boards, committed 26 turnovers and couldn't close the deal late in regulation. They've got the talent, but not the experience. Dallas has the battle-tested veterans in Kidd, Dirk and Marion. That three by Kidd was ice-cold.

That three by Kidd was ice-cold.

Of course it was, but I felt like his release usually looks different. Looked a bit rushed and wicked, still got it to go. I love it. I love when the others step up, I really do.

Marion blocking Durant's last shot in regulation. Kidd hitting that three. Chandler forcing Westbrook to miss on the drive after Kidd hit the three. Great.

Yeah when he released it I was like "Kidd, no!", but then it went down, and I just didn't say aything. At times I thought Kidd was wearing a Nets jersey.

They outrebounded Dallas 55-33.

Credit to Dirk and the Mavs. That was an insane comeback and it will be incredibly hard for the Thunder to come back from 3-1 down.

I heavily doubt it, but I would not count out OKC, especially not in the next game since they will be eager to show what they can. They just need Harden & Westbrook stepping up. Durant does a good job, although he took some questionable threes and had 9 turnovers, the Mavs D is all over him and he's dealing well with it. The 2nd & third options need to step up and imho OKC really is missing a good shooter out there.

OKC is the future of the Western Conference. That's for sure.

[Lamrock]

That's what people used to say about Portland

That's what people used to say about Portland

Seems like you're from the wrong region of the country (given that Seattle moved away and you seem to favor OKC now)

[Lamrock]

Don't forget the Grizz! With all the teams moving but the bad weather staying, I can't wait to leave. Blazers4Lyfe tho

[debiler]

Damn. Gotta steal one in OKC now. (...)

...make that two

[thewhitemamba]

Let's go Mavs!!!!!!

Bring on the Heat!

[Drex]

They've got the talent, but not the experience.

And it certainly showed the last couple games. They rush way too many things.

[Jhiane]

Young team has just remain as young team.. 15 point deficit can still blow-out in 5minutes. I'm don't like the smile from KD when he hits the 3.. Its not over yet.. In that 5minutes remaining I have just lost my appetite watching the game and I thought OKC was going to win but when I came back I'm surprised it was tied but this is not the end for OKC, they have the talent and its not over yet

[Fresh8]

Wouldn't be so bad to see Kidd win a ring.

(I hope I didn't jinx the Mavs!)

[benji]

Kobe wouldn't have needed overtime.

[Fresh8]

Kobe wouldn't have needed overtime.

This is true. Kobe won the championship even before the first game of the regular season. Bit of an outrage that there are still four teams playing for second place now.

[benji]

Real Kobe fans don't resort to sarcasm.

[The X]

Kidd saves Dirk's choking ass. If Dirk choked anymore, somebody was gonna wheelchair him outta the court.

Yes, clearly Dirk's choking caused Mavs to come back from a 15 point deficit within 5 minutes. Whether you are being sarcastic or not, you are an idiot.
