Thunder(Supersonics) vs Mavericks.


Recommended Posts

I'm not sold on the Mavs whipping the Lakers.  They were not good this year.  Their guard defense have been suspect since the playoffs began.  Chris Paul is all the Hornets had, and he gave the Laker defense fits.  In the second round, Dallas benifeted from hitting WIDE OPEN 3's.  I can guarantee you that those 3 balls will not continue to fall, especially after this long layoff.  My question is who the heck will check Durant?  How will check Hardin when he comes in off the bench?

I hate the Lakers but having the #2 seed going into the playoffs doesn't qualify as "not good this year." The Mavs just straight up outplayed the them and I think they lost their composure after the game 2 loss.

I think the Mavs in 6...would like to see OKC but I don't know who's going to stop Dirk.

[/quote]Who will stop Durant? (the 2011 NBA scoring champion)  that should be the question.

Wrong.  I think the X-Factor is Hardin coming in  off the bench.  They don't miss a beat scoring when either Durant or Westbrooks leave and he comes in.

Looks like neither were stopped tonight. Dirk won the battle thought. We'll see what happens in game two.

I hate to say this but OKC will need to double Dirk the entire series and take their chances with the 3 point shooters.  (I know, Dallas is banking on OKC to do this).  But you cannot stop Dirk 1 on 1.  Also, OKC will need consistancy from BOTH Durant and Westbrooks.  Westbrooks had a horrible night but OKC was still hanging around.  I think OKC regroups and it will show in the next game.  Gut check time for the young guns.

Looks like Dirk is doing it again. A lot of youth showed tonight for the Thunder. They have a great future. A lot of awesome young talent there.

Russell Westbrook is a very good player. I would put him as a top 7 all around PG. Rose, Paul, Kidd, Rondo, Williams, Nash and Westbrook. They do it all. Look at the Numbers:

                                PPG      FG%    RB    AST.      PER

Paul                          15.9    .463    4.1    9.8      23.76
Westbrook                  21.9    .442    8.2    4.6      23.63
Rose                          25.0    .445    4.1    7.7      23.62
Williams                    20.1    .439    4.0  10.3      21.19
Nash                          14.7    .492    3.5  11.4      20.81
Rondo                        10.6    .475    4.4  11.2      17.11
Kidd                            7.9    .361    4.4    8.2      14.46

Seems like he is pretty good to me. It's obvious he is lacking on the Assisst. When he becomes a bit more of a true point he'll be one of the top three in the game. I haven't watched hime enough to know about his defense. Rondo and Kidd are great defensive players. Maybe someone else knows about Westbrook and his D. It's important to note, he's only 22.

    • Are you really gonna talk about decorum from a President while supporting the guy who effectively has no such decorum? Just last night the former president (and would-be despot) was in Arizona talking with Tucker Carlson and fantasized about Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad… after calling her dumb, of course.     Trump didn’t just “defecate all over the office of the President”…. He is a piece of excrement.  
    • I personally hope PN-G gets 2nd gets to the 2nd round wins the flip against SOC and drag them them to Houston to play 
    • I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
