Dallas Mavericks 121, Oklahoma City Thunder 112 (Series: 1-0 DAL)
Hoo boy, did you guys catch that game of HORSE between Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Durant last night? Dirk dropped 48 points, and set a NBA record with 24 consecutive free throws to start the game, to perhaps insinuate that he’s a bit fired up for these Western Conference Finals. Durant scored 40 but couldn’t strap a large enough load to his back to make up for Russell Westbrook’s 3-15 shooting effort. Sure, Westbrook had 20 points by hitting 14 of 18 free throws, but the Mavs got a combined 45 points from Jason Terry and J.J. Barea, who was lights out from the floor. The Thunder were within 6 points with less than 3 minutes left in the game, but Durant just couldn’t do it by himself.
Tonight’s Prediction: Heat over Bulls by A LOT because of this…

Cleveland has to be the worst city for sports in the USA (not including Canada.. they are equally bad). No good pro teams, college teams, or women. (Sorry for that last part.. i had a business trip Cleveland.. woof..)
@Bates – The worst city for sports in the USA is Detroit, because it is Detroit.
As of me typing this reply, the Indians currently have the best record in baseball, so suck it.
(Sorry for that last part.. i had a business trip Cleveland.. woof..)
I’m also fairly certain that when the Greyhound bus you are riding breaks down on the way through the city, that it doesn’t qualify as “a business trip”.
Next time go ahead and inform us of which particular shithole you reside in so we can compare.
Bates – Halle Berry is from Cleveland. She’s purtie.
Kansas City, home to the mighty Royals, Jayhawks, and Chiefs.. oh and a last place MLS team (Sporting KC). Still better then Cleveland. But yes, Detroit is probably worse then both.
You know who they won’t pick? Harrison Fucking Barnes, thats who. Cause he won’t be there.
