Thunder vs. Mavs: Pregame Primer

by Royce Young on March 17, 2013 at 4:29 pm 1,349 Comments

okc-thunder vs. d-mavericks

Thunder (49-17, 19-13 road) at Mavericks (31-34, 18-12 home)

TV: FS Oklahoma
Stream: Click here
Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1 FM, 640 AM, 97.1 FM Tulsa)
Time: 6:30 CT

Offensive Rating: Thunder – 112.9 (1st), Mavs– 105.3 (17th)
Defensive Rating: Thunder – 102.8 (7th), Mavs – 106.0 (16th)
Pace: Thunder – 93.8 (8th), Mavs – 94.6 (5th)

View from the enemy: The Two Man Game

The Mavs have an outside chance of making a playoff push still. They’re three games out and with a good run of home games ahead of them, they’re breathing. But they can’t afford to give anything away, even against a top team like the Thunder. So this game means a whole lot to Dallas.

The Thunder are 3-0 this season against Dallas and have won nine straight against the Mavs, including last playoffs. The last meeting in Dallas was that overtime win for OKC where KD scored 52. Like I said, if the Thunder want to keep their dominance over Dallas alive, it’s going to take another mighty effort.

Dallas coming in: The Mavs beat the Cavs on Friday.

Tip at 6:30 CT. Go B-ball.

Is Westbrook now having his best season?  I think so.  His turnaround has impressed me a lot.  I was down on him the first three months.

 @Lambchop   @MJOKC  @[censored] when he gives kd the ball and he tries to pass it across court to kendrick perkins, thats when russ then decides ok kev dont want to shoot so who's the next best option? oh yeah, me. (crossover hesitation pullup ensues)

 @MJOKC  @[censored] Honetly, if you were Russ, and you saw Jae Crowder was guarding him, woudl you not have tried to utilize this advantage?  Its liek an audible, a change of strategy that a thinking mad would have done.  Again, he did this against Dallas.  He needs to ba able to alter his game according to what teh defenses are giving everybody else.  He dosnt seem to have that ability.  Hes probably the most athletic guy in the league and oen of its hardest workers, and hes totally (as well as many of you) wring if he thinks thats gonna get the, the title

 @Lambchop   @MJOKC  @[censored] clearly when KD wants to shoot he can, says his 19pts on 10 shots in the fourth. thats what we're defending, the fact that its not russ who isnt letting kd shoot its kd just choosing to not shoot andd if you're watching and cant see this we're forced to believe you must be crazy to still try and tear-down russ because of what KD is himself not doing.

 @MJOKC  @[censored] The manner with which handful off you guys defend Westbrook makes me feel that youre not so secure about you exalted opinons of the PG.

 

You all have been tooting his horn all might, even while we were losing to a sub 500 team.  Pray tell, who was guarding Russell?  And, even more so, if Kds got a rookie on him, what PG in their right mind would not have tried to exploit that?  Thats just basic probablilities.

@[censored] He was inconsistent shooting but he's been great overall all year. Much much better shooting lately. Been Okcs best player since end of jan

 @DanielLawler That's what it feels like, because KD played below his average and Westbrook played way above his average. Truth is, they've been about the same and average Durant is better than Westbrook since February.

 @OohWeeItsVelvetHoop  @[censored] Whatever happened it started with his tossing a chair courtside. Now he's defending his teammates chairs in the locker room. At least he's saving the tantrums for behind the scenes involving chairs and kicking ass on the court.
