Why the hell is OKCs offense so stagnant?

Our defense isn't THAT good that it should cause them to not be able to start their possession until there's 7 seconds left on the shot clock, and by the time they're about to take a shot, the pressure is on because there's only two left...

It's happened on most possessions, I don't see how it's productive.

Taking a page out of International basketball teams that play Team USA.  Foul them because dunks and layups build their momentum.

These dudes man. C'mon, we can't get blown out IN OKC by a team a collective 151 yrs older than us.

And I agree, have to go small now. No reason to have Perk and Ibaka in the game since they're obviously not stopping anything, need to go Russ, Harden, Cook, Durant, Collison.

I think so.  I wish more teams would play that way.  Teams do it to my Nuggets all the time.

 at our crowd all subdued and quiet like a bunch of school girls. I usually sit by that Tinkerbell looking chic under the basket and they're not highlighting him on tv but there's a big, fat, shirtless guy who always paints his torso, sometimes wears a coconut bra, and always a wrestling mask and goes all out trying to distract the opposition on free throws. I hate sitting there because I always end up on the big in arena screen like 400 times. 

And our offense ALWAYS sucks. KD and Russ and Harden are generally just great enough to make it work. Rarely do we get open, uncontested type looks (although we did their and KD just missed). It's just a lot of "get KD the ball," or Westbrook and they make tough plays.

Okay thanks refs. Not a bad call neccessarily, but you never see that. We can cut it to what 16?

Terrible way to end the half, jesus.

We are absolutely TERRIBLE at that.

So far these playoffs...

1) Lamar Odom fouled on a three point attempt, then Dirk elbowing some dude and getting a tech on it.
2) James Harden last game.
3) Nick Collison getting that FT.

TERRIBLE. Three points we gave up because we didn't grab that board.

That could give them some confidence going into the next half.

In games that can be decided by a single point, we can't have that +!#!.

Played 20 good minutes of basketball. Great stuff from Marion and Chandler, but they really need to keep up that effort and intensity on BOTH ends if we want to pull this one out.

This game is FAR from over, and if we let up they WILL come back and beat us.

Gotta keep it up.

Mavs came out firing. I thought the game two loss could refocus them like the game 4 loss to Portland did. Hopefully they keep this up. Defense has been great. Marion is playing much better than in game 2 and Haywood has been productive. Plus Dirk is playing terrible right now and they still have a nice cushion.

JET needs to come out firing and get going, he'll space it out SO much for the rest of the team.

Dirk gets that kind of attention even if he's off and not scoring much, and they're ASKING for the rest of the team to beat them, but we have too much offensive firepower for that to work.

Come on JET, come on Mavs!

Dirk McGurk needs to be more aggressive. No reason that collison should be able to guard him
