Athough the Thunder got a nice young team that has shown a lot of improvement this playoff, I like the Mavs to win this series. I think the veteran leadership of the Mavs will prevail over the youth and inexperience of the Thunder. Ibaka cannot check Dirk, and the Mavs can put 4 3 point shooters on the floor at once, giving most teams problems. I think they take care of OKC in 5 games.

The Mavs are playing really well right now. Their defense is what has gotten them this far. I agree, Dallas in 5.

EDIT: I don't think Beaubois is starting. I also wonder in the Mavs make it to the Finals if Butler will be available.

Dirk is the best player in the NBA. The Mavericks very well could sweep this series as well.

:lol: at Dirk being the best player in the NBA...getting open looks because opposing Centers and Power Forwards don't like being out on the perimeter =/= the best. He's good for sure but Rose and Durant are the best players in the NBA right now...

Dirk is playing great. As the oldest team left in the playoffs (all their starters have 10 years experience), you like the confidence and assertiveness their vets are playing with. If Miami gets knocked off this round, Dallas will be your NBA champs no problem.

    • Yeah, if you tune in for any of the remainder of the season you will get what you're asking for. Nobody but yourself to blame. This is a sports franchise of losers, for losers.
    • Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol
    • Well for one, what other realistic choice is there? Barring a season ending injury, Bryce is the guy for this year. Next year all options are open, but there aren't any other real world solutions for the 2025 season.
