Thunder erasing that lead quickly!

Kidd actually using his timeouts well. Looking like a veteran coach all of a sudden!

Yep. Refs don't give Mavericks any FTs but whistle everything on OKC, especially SGA.

But Mavericks are too good, even refs can't bail out OKC :lol: :lol: :lol:


There are only 11 FTA in the entire game for both teams. It hasn't been a foul fest.

Mavs need to get focused again. They are all over the place on Defense everytime they get a large lead.

They always let up off the gas.

He listened! I don't know why he was trying to bait that last one. He had a good look and decided to fall down. This time he just goes straight up and it is all net.

Hardaway Jr. makes 18 millions a year, I know other players make more but damn what a waste of damn money.

It's shocking how easily the Mavs blow big leads. That just doesn't happen at this regularity to any other great team.
