I wonder if Bynum has thrown his remote through his TV in the general direction of JJ Barea yet.

I feel like Ibaka has more dunks than Dirk has points.

Actually, Chandler and Perkins WILL steelcage fight by game four.

Dirk shoulder checks Durant out of bounds but it's not a flagrant. Refs must be too busy planning when he'll go to the line next to shoot more free throws.

Dallas is going to win the championship this year. There's no doubt about it.

Not much defense in this game. Thunder backcourt is awful tonight. Durant needed the ball more, but needed it in better places too. Not much you can do against Dirk when he's hitting and getting to the line like he is tonight, but giving that up to Barea is inexcusable.

That's what's gonna happen when you double-team Dirk.

Dallas shot over 90% on "clutch" type shots tonight, had to have. Shots that ended little runs, shots when the shot clock was down, shots like the one Terry just hit to put them away.

Have to take your chances with that, but you can't let Dirk score 50 if you're going to double team him. Might as well not double him then.

You know, on a more "normal" night, Dirk isn't going to be THAT efficient in scoring and Westbrook isn't going to be THAT awful....

If you're the Thunder you have to be somewhat ok with the end result tonight. Dirk had one of the best playoff performances of all-time, but it's not as if they were blown out of the water. As stated, you can't really expect Dirk to show up like that every game this series. He'll probably do it to some extent because he's the hottest player in the league right now, but not to this level. The key for them is to keep getting the production out of the bench, 53 points tonight.

I think the talk of possibly moving Westbrook is a little much. He's gone through a tough stretch here since that Game 4 in Denver but the fact of the matter is they're still here in the Western Conference Finals with as good of a chance as anyone. I think you'll see him come out strong in Game 2, but don't know if it will be enough to take the game as it's just hard to bet against Dallas at this point.

If you are OKC, I think it was a decent game one. If Dirk doesnt go for 50, you are RIGHT there with a chance to win.
