heat.okc...good game tho by dirk

48 points on 93.8% true shooting? Unheard of. Nearly perfect. Definitely the most efficient playoff performance I've ever seen.
I STILL CANT BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED. 12-15 and 24-24. 6 rebounds 4 assists and 4 blocks. All around domination by Dirk.

agreed, but you gotta admit, if dirk even comes 75% as dirty theyre gonna beat OKC. thing is i just dont see him coming out firing like that for 3 more games. Serge will get even more active on the pre shot D, hes just gotta elevate slightly quicker cause dirks catching him too many times.

Also, westbrook missing clutch freethrows down the stretch. SMH. homies gotta work on those basics, hes a driving point guard its a bread/butter requirement to make em esp when its crunch time.

That was a-a-a-absolutely ridiculous performance by Dirk. Regardless of the D it was just his night and it was amazing to watch
Despite that, the Thunder did have their chances and moments late in the fourth.

Westbrook will be better and will figure out to penetrate the Zone and shoot better. Harden will need to shoot better and more often if Dallas sticks to the zone and then on defense just close out well on the double team kick out three's and hope that Dallas does not shoot lights out.

Great game one, gonna be a great series and still think OKC will pull through. Just got to steal one in Dallas. Lets go game 2

 

[Navkarn]

everyone keeps forgetting about the mavs little speedy gonzales difference maker. jj barea has been one of the biggest explosions off the dallas bench. there was even a point where he made 12 dallas points in a row. the mavs bench is far more lethal and consistent in my opinion and will continue to serve as the key component in taking the series of okc.

 

[crimsonNcream]

Also, I understand that Nate Robinson and JJ Barea are of similar size but beyond that Brooks CANNOT put him on barea especially when barea is having a run like he did yesterday

 

[SunnyS]

2 things..

1. dirk wont have such a good game next time ( doesnt mean he wont score, for those who take things to literally)
2. westbrook wont have such a bad game next time

udonis mother fucking haslem. this is why he was always just as important to me as wade. our team has MISSED HIM. only motherfucker with BALLS, doesnt matter who he's running with.

 

[bhangrathug]

Who da fuck said king James ain't clutch!!!?? And damn haslem is back..

 

[Gurbir23]

My reaction to udonis haslem this game.....mother of god...

 

[ENVY BANG-RUH]

I'm surprised by the reactions of udonis' play. What he did today is what he's done over and over on a consistent basis for years prior to his injuries.

He is my second of two favorite players on the heat squad, glad to see him back.

It may be too early to say, but I wonder if the Heat/Bulls series will go to a game 7.

#1 is LeBRON James right ? lol

I'm gonna say Heat will take it in 6. IF they play like they did tonight.

Chris Bosh with a near max contract being out performed by a guy getting paid 1/4th his salary. CB=overrated, Haslem=beast mode.

THANKYOU! Its not surprising that he played like this, its just refreshing to see actual impact production from a player other than the big 3. Haslem was ALWAYS a vital piece of the heats offense, people forget/dont know because they werent fans until this year, which saw him go down less than a month into the season.

If Haslem continues to get minutes and is not fatigued for them, expect a MUCH BETTER REBOUND GAME, and a slew of mid range shots from just inside the wings or at the elbows.

Lol love, i dont even think he's getting 1/4. He took a pay cut, too. haha... But bosh has been silently contributing, not a MAX-Contract worthy player (hes actually fucking us over for signing some better role players this off season with his heavy cost) but nonetheless a pretty crucial piece. He's gonna be a bit unhappy haslems back though, because haslem plays the 4, which shifts him to the 5 when the rotation includes Bibby, Wade, LBJ, Haslem, Bosh.

I will not lie though. the bulls shot like SHIT in the first quarter and were still pulling too many rebounds, and we were still just about tied. Decreased turnovers, increased O-rebounding, and better movement by players off the ball to create PLAYS instead of relying on excessive Iso plays for lbj/dwade will take our team much further.

The experience of Haslem (who has more playoff experience than bosh, go figure) will bring some of that to the table. I do feel bad for joel anothony though, because his ability to get production of anything beyond blocks in this series has been severely limited.

THANK YOU!!!!!! For admitting to having those types of fans, and I hope you understand how we feel about ghost fans.
