Durant got the most dubious calls of the night. By far. Per usual.

OKC needs Ryan Bowen -- 4 or 5 years ago he was so successful against Dirk in the Rockets/Mavs series that they started calling him the "Germanator".

Bowen is available -- he's making like $25K as an Asst. Video Coordinator for the U. of Iowa basketball team.

Yep, and Russell Westbrook wants desperately to be the hero. Every game.

Cook doesn't toss up the volume of crap (early in the clock) that RW does.

No, I agree with you. But he took an extremely bad early 3 point shot way off with about 1:42 to go.

I think OKC wins the next one, but it'll be their last W.

I think next year Harden becomes the #2 guy to KD

Westbrook may wind up losing minutes to Maynard

Choklahoma City? It looks like they are going to piss this one away.

What? OKC lost????? I started working on some files for work and turned the game off because it was 5 minutes left and OKC was up by 13, or something. Holy shit...

2006 Part Deux, it's looking like.

Seems worse than the Portland choke to the Shaq-Kobe lakers in 2000.. I didn't see the game unfortunately, but 15 points in 5 minutes is a lot to lose. Hope OKC isn't permanantly scarred by the meltdown (a la portland).

but I'd be thrilled to see the Mavs make the finals and beat the Heat and get a little redemption.

OKC is bedeviled by the same prevailing issues: they don't have any defensive stoppers and they play a tempo that's conducive to an opponent staging a big comeback from time to time. Both of these reared their ugly heads at the worst possible time last night.

In OKC's defense, this is the like the 4th time Dallas has pulled this off during the 2011 Playoffs. They beat LA two times when down by 5 - 9 points in the final half of the 4th quarter.

Does a Westbrook for Chris Paul swap make sense?

Paul wants out of NOH and would thrive in OKC. Westbrook wants to be "the man" and would get that in NOH.

Chris Paul Would have to be willing to sign a new contract and everything points to Paul wanting to go to the Knicks

Everything hinges on how the CBA turns out, though. So, until that is done, I will say anything is doable in the post-lockout environment.
