NBA Playoffs WCF: Dallas Mavericks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

[HeatCheck]

Jason Kidd really has been a unsung hero for these Mavs. He's playing with a passion and determination. He wants that ring.

[Kenjifujima]

at Dirk being the best player in the NBA...

[HeatCheck]

Dirk clutch 3 late to take 1 point lead.

[HeatCheck]

The Matrix with a fast break dunk. KD stupidly fouled him for a 3 point play.

[DoWorkBson]

Great heat just won the title... fug ya mother Lebron... wait I think a cav beat me to it.

[HeatCheck]

Kidd with a fitting offensive rebound when it mattered the most. He has a good bit of offensive rebounds.

[HeatCheck]

Great heat just won the title... fug ya mother Lebron... wait I think a cav beat me to it.

Wait, you thought OKC had a better chance of beating the Heat than Dallas? Now that Dallas won you are ready to crown the Heat the champs, Dallas will pose a bigger threat to Miami.

Nope 5 games top... yes I think westbrook,durant,harden,ibaka,maynor match up better with james,wade,bosh then dirk and uh...uh...uhhh yes the heat are going to destroy the mavs

[HeatCheck]

It has basically just been Durant these playoffs. Westbrook has been subpar besides those early games vs Denver. Harden had a great game tonight but he wasn't reliable on a night to night basis. OKC is more one dimensional than Dallas. Heat may beat Dallas but I believe that Dallas has more weapons and they really have improved on D, maybe playing the best D besides the Heat this playoffs.

I know it's the regular season, but the Heat struggled vs. the Mavs in the 2 games they played. Especially LBJ. Dirk was a +44 while LBJ was a -34 in the +/- column for the 2 games combined.

The Mavs have a deep bench where the Heat have Mike Miller basically. I'm actually more scared of the Bulls due to their depth and fast PG. It's no mistake the team w/ the deepest bench gave the Mavs the most problems (Portland).

[DoWorkBson]

What was the Heats record against the Bulls in the regular season? It won't be close and I hate to say it, but Heat will roll.

[theyhateme45]

Dallas is the only team besides the Heat I would like to see win a title, but if the heat finish the bulls I think they will be too much. Dallas is a good team, but they did not play great D in this OKC series... I mean they gave up a lot of points, and OKC had a good amount of unforced errors.

I also don't believe Dallas is athletic enough.... I also believed that Dallas is a better match up for Miami than OKC.

[Hawk]

two observations from last night....

Dallas did the same tshirt thing that OKC did...really makes no sense to me!!!

and Westbrook sure was down the hallway fast after losing...no way he spent anytime shaking hands after the game....chump

[King Taharqa]

Westbrook needs to mature and plays too out of control to be an NBA PG, but I think its telling that he's always agressive and plays with assertiveness no matter what, while Durant dissapears at the end of games and gets pushed around at times. KD is so likeable people are ignoring the fact he needs to learn when to step up and be the MAN. Seeing dude at the end of games shooting 3's 30 feet out is frustrating. He needs to hit the gym and get stronger. No way, a J Kidd should be able to body him at the end of games. Sad to say, Westbrook shows more heart than Durant now, even though Durant is the star of the team.
