Dallas Mavericks have to many weapons for OKC?

Although this definitely will not be a sweep....(said the same against Lakers, so who knows) predicting 4-2 Mavs...

I think the mavs just have to many options for OKC... Dirk for obvious reasons, JET for obvious reasons, but then look at J. Kidd who had a career high 6 three-pointers against the Blazers and can turn on his shooting when necessary. JJ Barea which can just drive to the basket when he gets ready and finish or kick it out. Shawn Marion even though he hasnt had the best playoff series yet can still put up some good numbers. Then you have another guy in Peja who can spread the floor, and knock down some J's, even though his game was off. Tyson Chandler presence is essential and has some good interior defense.

I would like to see this team next year with a healthy Caron & Roddy B.

Update:

Dont forget about Stevenson who can again knock down some open J's.

    Dallas definitely has some good weapons and okc should worry about a sweep. No one thought the mavs could sweep the lakers but they did. I am not saying they will sweep okc, I am saying it is possible. The mavs have their game on for sure but they had too many fouls against them which is why i think the final score was only 121-112, durant shot his fair share of FT's, without the FT's okc score would of been lower than 112.

    GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah.

    The Mavs offense is better this year as far as their scheme. They play with ball movement this time. In the past it was just Dirk isolations 24/7. Dirk gets doubled and he can pass out to great shooters like Kidd, Peja, and Terry. Marion can score some in the post. And Barea is a good driver. They have a deep team. And I also can't wait to see how dangerous they are when Butler and Roddy play next year.

    The Dallas Mavericks have esatblished themselves as a great defensive minded team, Dirk has been sensational, scoring 48 points in their game 1 win against the Thunder. Also, Jason Terry got key free throws to keep the Thunder at bay, the Mavs are just on a roll

    They do have many options, but OKC is capable of beating them. If Russy West can be more of a distributor than a shooter, OKC could beat the mavs. He needs to speed up the tempo, take higher percentage shots. Durant is able to keep up with Dirk's scoring, and OKC has a good bench also.

    Yeah I have to admit they are one of the deepest teams in the playoffs but OKC aren't gonna go out without fighting till the end, both teams are very determined and the series has the potential to be the greatest this year, even better than Grizzlies-OKC haha

    possibly,

    now that Mav is shooting extremely well.

    it allows the paint to open for Dirk to do

    his thing, if any reason that Dirk is doubled

    he kick it out to a spot up shooter or to

    his center.

    it is a very hard team to guard. not to mention

    Dirk's Fade away. I mean, how do you guard a

    7 footer's fade away.

    Yeah they do. Period. That is how they will ultimately win the title, spreading the ball around to all of their weapons. Dirk can't and won't have to do it by himself.

  • 1 decade ago

    true..

    If Dirk plays bad..somebody else drop 20pts..To many options

    Dirk, Jet, Peja, Kid, Tyson, Barea etc

    OKC have Durent , westbrook and Perkins

    thats it

    4-2 true true
