...............Nate Robinson of OKC look like a player with no clue on how to play defense.
48 points by Nowitski, 24-24 on free throws and 12 out of 15 or sixteen from the field. He caused OKC defenders to rack up 16 fouls against him.
Berea was on fire for a stretch of the game in the second half. No one could stop him on his drives to the hoop.
Still OKC had a late run to cut the Dallas lead to 5 points. Kevin Durant is an amazing player and is only 22 years old. Russell Westbrook was horrible last night but his physical gifts [especially his quickness] are amazing.
The NBA stars of the past 15 or so years [Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, K.G., Pierce, Nash, Yao Ming, etc.] are going to be supplanted by the newer, younger stars [James, Durant, Rose, Wade, etc.]

<< <i>Very impressive game by Dirk but he isn't going to shoot like that again which tells me this should be a very good series. I am rooting for OKC! >>
>>>>>>> this latest thumping of OKC by Dallas on the road featuring Dirk Nowitski was even better! <<<<<<<
with Dallas down by 15 points with less than 5 minutes to play in the hostile arena of Oklahoma City, and Dirk Nowitzki took charge for one of the most impressive comebacks in "playoff history".
Wow!

p.s. Guess Reggie Miller's 8 points with 11 seconds left, trashing the New York Knicks, was the best ever comeback in basketball playoff history? Where do you place this "15 point" comeback with less than 5 minutes to go in playoff history lore'

Most great teams have steps to their championship run and that was a big lesson for the Thunder last night. I predict Heat v. Thunder in NEXT year's NBA finals... or the year after that if they cancel next season due to lockout.
