Athough the Thunder got a nice young team that has shown a lot of improvement this playoff, I like the Mavs to win this series. I think the veteran leadership of the Mavs will prevail over the youth and inexperience of the Thunder. Ibaka cannot check Dirk, and the Mavs can put 4 3 point shooters on the floor at once, giving most teams problems. I think they take care of OKC in 5 games.

The Mavs are playing really well right now. Their defense is what has gotten them this far. I agree, Dallas in 5.

EDIT: I don't think Beaubois is starting. I also wonder in the Mavs make it to the Finals if Butler will be available.

Dirk is the best player in the NBA. The Mavericks very well could sweep this series as well.

:lol: at Dirk being the best player in the NBA...getting open looks because opposing Centers and Power Forwards don't like being out on the perimeter =/= the best. He's good for sure but Rose and Durant are the best players in the NBA right now...

Dirk is playing great. As the oldest team left in the playoffs (all their starters have 10 years experience), you like the confidence and assertiveness their vets are playing with. If Miami gets knocked off this round, Dallas will be your NBA champs no problem.

    • Happy Thanksgiving y’all. Thankful for a very good team and for this group to talk canes.  Eat drink celebrate our win bs the rags. This team is cup ready. 
    • I don't think should be seen as an insult, legitimately. Teddy's floor was consistently a good game manager to his ceiling of border-line top 10 QB who's arm strength didn't blow you away but could make all the throws and generally made good decisions and had some sneaky athleticism.  Teddy started on quite a few teams. He had a good start to his career, had a horrific injury that could have ended his career, came back and played himself into being a starter, got a contract here (and subsequently became another victim of Tepper's impetuousness), and then started games for a few other teams. Teddy could have been a franchise QB had he not suffered a freak injury, and then he just never ended up in another stable situation. He still had a good NFL career that could have been great without that injury. Teddy before that injury did look like a franchise QB, and I dont think that's a bad comp for Young nor an insult in terms of what his career could be based on that comparison.
    • Absolutely the wrong take. We have to run and gun. We have zero post presence. We just have to make shots. We just can't hit water from a boat tonight and we're turning it over to boot. Then you have a poor shooting opponent shooting lights out.  Looks like a long season ahead of us though if Hubert doesn't adapt to this roster. We have to play a pressure trapping D and get out in transition because we aren't beating anyone in the half court.
