Dallas Played A Perfect Game And Won Only By 9

[jjgold]

Does it mean anything??

[EaglesPhan36]

Their defense needs to improve. They should have blown OKC out. Let them back in the game too many times. Cannot expect Dirk will continue to get 24 FTAs either.

they didnt play a perfect game- peja- 3 points, chandler- 3 points, kidd- 3 points, haywood 3 points, stevenson- 3 points. some important contributors didnt contribute much at on offense. and the defense gave up 112 points.

dirk went off and terry was 50 percent from the field, the team was 34-36 from the freethrow line.

hard to read that game because so many fouls were called on stupid sh*t but i would say that does mean something that dirk can go off for 48 and then only be up like 6 points with 2 1/2 minutes left to play.

those 2 guys were hot from the field but if they miss 3 of those shots they go to OT?? i know thats not exactly how it works but they have to get some inside game workin on offense

Far from perfect....This was the game the Thunder needed to steal.

[BIGDAY]

I also side with OKC missed the opportunity to steal. Dallas wins game 2 imo.

The refs wanted to have sex with dirk

Now I know to take Dallas game 2 easy money

[tony_come]

Ppl be patience

We can win money in this series. Plus refs are on our pay-roll

I thought this too.

You would think a team that lives and dies by a perimeter game would run out of luck quickly.

Are they just that good in a league that just isn't that good right now?

Dirk had 48 points

A career type game

[Smoke]

Dirk had 48 points

A career type game

Half of those points at the line

[the_situation]

D needs to improve...mainly inside. D gets Abused when Chandler isn't on.

JJ great topic man because if you think about it if Dirk doesn't have the game he does and scores only half of what he did then OKC easily wins.

perfect game??? They did not look good at all in the 3rd quarter and bench was playing in the 4th when okc came back.

Just look at the interview at end of 1st quarter by jason terry

[TheGambler]

i thought the same thing and will probably be on OKC the rest of the way

OKC should let Harden run the point..

You say Dallas will exploit him on Defense?? Better than Dirk going off for 50 again...

OKC coach lost game 1.. If you don't have the balls to tell Westbrook to NEVER shoot a jumper again, than you don't have what it takes to lead a team... Durant is not a leader either, guy was saying some stupid shit about "believing" in Westbrook.. Jordan would have took him in the bathroom and straightened his ass out...

Harden will be the key to the Thunders chances.. He is the natural leader of this team..

Let's see if they figure this out...

Dallas did not play a good 1Q, ending 27-20 for OKC. If they had even been tied after 1Q, the game would have been out of reach down the stretch instead of contested. Also, the Dallas defense wasn't good enough. This game should have been in the 105-90 range. The fast pace is good for them hitting their transition 3s, but OKC also loves to play a fast game.

[jjgold]

who would you guys go with in game 2??

[GGRIF82]

THIS MEANS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO STOMP THERE ASS AGAIN

[iifold]

OKC should let Harden run the point..

So OKC's coach reads the forums I see...

Good observations JJ and IIFold.
