Is this series over? No, the Lakers are capable of coming back, but some people are acting like the Mavs are team full of bums that have to "hope" the Lakers don't play well because they can't compete with them. As good as the Lakers have been these two championship runs, they were never incredibly dominant or imposing to the point where you felt like other elite teams couldn't beat them ( i.e. the 01' Laker team which was incredibly dominant). The Lakers squads over the past three seasons were usually a clutch bucket, a key defensive stop, etc better than their opponents (see games 3 and 7 of last year's finals). This is the NBA, the elite teams are fairly even and can be taken out in a 7 game series.
QFT. Artest big shots, Pau big offensive boards, Fisher big shots, and Ariza big shots.
i agree, Thunder should not be associated with the Sonics since Seattle still has the rights to the team and when the time is right they will land a team again and become the Sonics.
Then by that logic, IMO, they shouldn't have Kevin Durant. You don't wanna give them their legacy, but you wanna let them keep their players? There's a difference between the Bobcats and the Thunder.
If the Thunder plays the Mavs, good luck to J. Kidd/Terry trying to guard Russ
Yeah, I know.
Would be horrific. We'd probably see Beaubois, Stevenson, and Brewer a lot out there trying to guard him. But if he stays complacent on the perimeter? He can chuck all he wants.
Gratz today Bhz. I didn't watch the game as I went to go see Thor with my girlfriend. How was the game?
