Fucking insane game.

Mavs are amazing. They deserve this win. And the title.

Dirk = mvp. NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

Dirk is seriously playing out of his mind but of course they still have to get through this series and I see this going 7 games which isn't good considering how old the Mavs are.

35 footer with 2 seconds left? Not a good idea.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Wow! just Wow! OT here we go

 

[Schfifty Five]

I am having a heart attack w/ this game haha. I can't believe the craziness of this game.

Marion is doing a hell of a job on defense.

 

[zerocool84]

Here nearing the end of OT, it`s really showing the veteran experience of the Mavs over the Thunder.

 

[HendrixFan]

The Mavs really just stole this game away, tremendous job of making that huge run at the end. Such a weird turn, after splitting at home they get both in OKC.

Way to go Mavs!

It`s interesting how big the impact of Harden fouling out. It`s almost like Durant or Westbrook fouling out.

That was just EPIC!

Phenomenal game by Dirk.

 

[HendrixFan]

25 turnovers for the Thunder, 9 by Durant. That was killer.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Dirks signature win! Talk about taking the team on your back! That was just Wow!

 

[al981]

nice choke job by durant. bosh must be lulz'ing.

Gratz to you man... atleast your team made to the finalz... much deserved though, much deserved, Happy for all the Mavs.

Incredible finish. An epic takeover of this game by Nowitzki.

 

[EightySix Four]

Nowitzki took over and the defense shut them down. Allowed only 4 points in over time and 6 in the final 10:04. Insane.

Well the difference is that Bosh has been in the league much longer than Durant so Durant choking is more acceptable than Bosh because Durant still has tons of time to grow and has gone farther than Bosh has before moving to a different team.

durant was talking major shit to bosh in the national media, calling him soft. in his biggest game yet, durant lost the ball in the paint multiple times and bricked terrible shots / got outright blocked in the final minutes.

OKC has some issues.

Westbrook dominates key offensive possesions way too much, and at the end of the game when he tried to defer more to Durant it didn't work because the team isn't used to it.

That's got to be fixed. I hope it's not Marbury/Garnett all over again, but the comparisons are inevitable.

Like I said, Durant has done more in his young career than Bosh has ever done and can only get better. He has more room to talk smack than Bosh ever could.

that's fine. he can learn from his epic choke. he's also had quite a few games where he disappeared.

I have to agree with Carlise's comments about OKC after game 2. They are the best and most atheletic team the Mavs have played this postseason. They were within five minutes of tying up this series and Dallas has played like a veteran champion the whole series and the Thunder just keep coming and in two of the games they have shot lights out and have just punished an older team on the boards. This OKC team has greatness in their future.

I think one of the key matchups in this series that have pushed the Mavs over the top is Kidds exerience as a seasoned floor general vs. Westbrooks inexperience. In the last 5min westbrook looked like a deer in the headlights. Kidd saddled up his horse Dirk and just kept forcing the ball to him even against double teams, and when Westbrook should have been doing the same with Durant he just looked lost.
