I mean, obviously you don't do that, but he's a borderline liability

[UMFan83]

This is unreal. It's [expletive] tied.

 

I gotta say, Dirk has been really fun to watch in this playoffs.

[javy knows my name]

Seriously, don't let Westbrook touch the ball here.

lol shameful offense.

 

this is a KD missed 25 footer for sure

[UMFan83]

What the hell was that play Brooks? Get the ball in Durant's hands for a 30 foot contested 3?

[DivineBovine]

Dirk is a freaking beast.

He is at the point where he can single handedly carry a team offensively when everyone knows he's getting the ball. Only truly elite players can do that.

 

Switch LeBron and Dirk right now, and I can honestly think that Miami gets better and Dallas gets worse.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'm not one to beat off about veterans having presence of mind and all that but that was brilliant by Kidd.

[SpongeWorthy]

Why are you running a lob just give it to Dirk he can shoot over anyone

[SpongeWorthy]

And why didn't Dallas get a few more tenths on the clock

 

shameful homer calls

I think that's a little crazy considering LeBron is playing great defense right now, and Dirk, for all his awesomeness, has his issues on the defensive end.

 

And offensively, Dirk has been absolutely amazing, but LeBron has quietly been pretty damn good too. Not as much as Dirk but the difference isn't enough to overcome Dirk's D

Brilliant to save a TO on the second-to-last possession, as well.

[SouthSideRyan]

Haha who does Stuart Scott think he's kidding? He couldn't find Compton with a map.

 

He always winds up off to the left for some reason.

Isn't the timeout given when the referee recognizes it not when the player calls it? Kidd called it at around 1.4 but I don't think it was recognized right then.

No doubt you're right about the defense. But I don't think you overvalue the trait of being able to carry the team offensively when everyone knows you're going to be the one to score. Only a handful of players in history could do that, and LeBron isn't one of them.

Thabo in the game in crunch time. Just awful.

[Guest]

Why did Sefolosha go after that ball? It was clearly off Terry.

[imb]

There's the dagger.

[UMFan83]

I wanted OKC to win to make this a better series, but I started cheering for Dallas when they made their comeback. What a great game.

Really?

 

LeBron can do it, he just doesn't seem to want to all the time.

[17 Seconds]

yikes.what a brutal loss

[imb]

I DONT BELIEVE ... WHAT I JUST SAW

[17 Seconds]

simmons-

 

Kudos to Dallas, but that was like watching a Little League World Series pitcher fall apart and start crying on the mound.

Yeah, really. I won't argue about his defense, passing, and athleticism. He's overrated as a scorer. And he could be great at it given his physical tools, he just isn't.
