    Memphis is playing so poorly on offense, yet if they hit a few shots and make a few stops, the pressure is all on OKC.

    He's 22, learning a profession he hadn't played before joining the NBA. People have to give him a chance to grow before writing him off for his career.

    If Westbrook continues to play as a PG, OKC will beat Dallas. If he reverts back to thinking he's Allen Iverson, Dallas wins the series.

    I think Dallas wins no matter how he plays. Dallas is deeper, more talented, more experienced, and has an unguardable player in Dirk Nowitzki.

    Watching Durant is making me ill. It never once crossed my mind on the night the Blazers drafted Oden that the Sonics would win a playoff series before Portland, let alone make it to the WCF.

    Remember when Rich Bucher said the Thunder had a brighter future than the Blazers and everyone in here was all upset? Looks like he was right. Western Conference Finals in their second playoff performance together. Three first round exits for us. Fire Nate. Hire Adelman. I'm sick of this shit.

    Can Marion effectively defend Durant, though?

    Should be a great series. OKC got smart and bodied up Randolph while flashing a defender at him, and nobody else stepped up to help him.

    Even if Marion can't defend Durant, I think Dallas can absorb his scoring and win the series.

    I do, but that was before Roy and Oden became shells of themselves, and the team decided to get very old by bringing in Miller and Camby.

    Perhaps. Should be a great series, though. Memphis was playing as well as anybody in the playoffs, and OKC regained HCA to beat them in 7. Dirk has to continue his great play, and Ibaka can at least bother him a bit with length.
