    A rematch of the WCF from last season. I think OKC will be up for some revenge. Dallas has had a very up and down season with injuries and other factors. It would take Dirk going nuts again for them to pull of any kind of upset against OKC but I just don't see that happening.

    Game 1 - Sat April 28, Dallas at Oklahoma City, 9:30 p.m., ESPN
    Game 2 - Mon April 30, Dallas at Oklahoma City, 9:30 p.m., TNT
    Game 3 - Thu May 3, Oklahoma City at Dallas, 9:30 p.m., TNT
    Game 4 - Sat May 5, Oklahoma City at Dallas, 7:30 p.m., TNT/R
    Game 5 * Mon May 7, Dallas at Oklahoma City, TBD
    Game 6 * Thu May 10, Oklahoma City at Dallas, TBD
    Game 7 * Sat May 12, Dallas at Oklahoma City ,TBD, TNT

    *if necessary

    OKC should win. Scotty Brooks will be outcoached by Rick Carlisle. Will it be enough though?

    Shouldn't be. I don't think the Mavs have any mojo this time around. Hard to see them winning 4 games.

    Bright side: if Thunder lose this series, Brooks gets shown the door.

    Mavs lost Chandler, Butler, and Barea. Mostly, losing Chandler hurts them the most.
    If they had the same team as last season then I would say they have a good chance at beating the Thunder but not so much this year.

    Dirk is getting pounded but no calls. Joey Crawford is a man on a mission.

    The thunder are so dependent on runs. They can play sloppy basketball for 24 minutes and in 2 minutes erase your lead.

    If they ever learned to play more discipline basketball they'd be scary.

    Really I think he is the best commentator everything he says is significant

    This WILL be a close series. I see the Mavs edging out the Thunder, with Westbrook going me against the world mode.

    i agree with that. he has good analysis, but i guess his personality is just a bit bland for me as a commentator.

    Or maybe he's just not as "on" last year. The whole Mavs team was just "on" last year. That was like a once in a lifetime experience. They, including Dirk, were not going to repeat last year offensively.

    Jason Terry might be the most underrated player in the nba.
