Yea, I said to my friend that we could steal one if OKC had an off-night, and both KD and Westbrook had one and we took advantage.....just barely.That was a gutty performance by the Mavs last night. Carlisle completely outclassed Billy Donovan. That was the biggest key of the game, IMO.
It also didn't hurt that KD playing like crap evened out the playing field a little. Regardless, the Thunder had no business losing that home game to a team with as many key injuries as the Mavs.
If that Adams shot had counted I think the series is a sweep because a loss like that would have been demoralizing. KD's not going to shoot that poorly again so you have to capitalize when a superstar puts up a clunker like that. That was Dallas' best chance and they held on to steal one.
We might get a 2nd game, but that's about it. Still, the last couple of seasons have shown what a heck of a coach Carlisle is, and what a shame it is that we can't give him any real talent to work with.
