PGT: 0-2 Dirk'n'scrubs lose, refs get enough facetime to start their own IMDb pages
That was a horribly-officiated game, both ways - the NBA has an awful product this season.

Thanks for the loss Jet and Vince.
Good f*cking riddance when they're gone.

VC did a lot of good things for the team tonight.
That was a very tough loss, especially considering what happened in game 1.
The emotional part of me tells me that the refs made a horrible call there on JET with 50 secs left and could have altered the outcome.
The rational part of me that Dirk needs to hit that 3 (or Terry needs to hit something).
I think it's all of the above.

VC continually played the Westbrook screen with no energy, lost his man on defense at crucial moments, and took (and missed) too many poor, contested shots in isolation (strangely, these seemed by design).
At this point, I'm not watching these playoffs with any expectation of doing damage. I'm watching them as a swan song, knowing that this might be the last time we get to see Kidd orchestrate an offense at this level, and knowing it's one of the precious few remaining times we'll get to see Nowitzki perform at such an elite level before his game drops off or he retires in a few years.

second quarter, Vince attempts a pointless reverse layup and misses. Mavs get the rebound, and Jet attempts a contested 28 footer for no reason and misses. OKC gets out on the break and scores.
fourth quarter, six minutes left - Delonte and Terry are trying to guard Westbrook and Durant on the weakside. Fisher walks to the corner and shoots a wide open three because Carter and Marion completely forget he exists because they are so worried about Terry not being able to guard Durant.
fourth quarter, final minute, three seconds left on the shot clock. Ball inbounds to Durant going into the corner who Terry promptly fouls out of bounds for no reason.
....
After 7/25, after leaving Chalmers wide open in the corner, after not closing out on Nash, after disappearing against San Antonio in 2010, and after tonight, I am really ready to move on after this season.

The Mavs had every opportunity to win this game just like they did game 1. Just once again lacking in crunch time execution and discipline. We saw the same thing in the regular season, certainly not a fluke.

well.... should be 1-1 seeing as both games came down to the wire.
Kidd shot way to many times off the dribble.... he shoots maybe 15% on threes when his feet arent set... he should never do that unless he has time to stop and set his feet and still stay wide open.
anywho... dont think we will win this series but okc has a lot of stupid players with a ton of talent. I cant wait to see dirk with deron next year.. with a real scoring threat and hopefully an upgrade at center (kaman perhaps)

How the f*ck didn't we split it? Could have won either game. Before the series, I thought if we'd lose, we'd not lose it in such a heartbreaking fashion. Holy f*cking sh*t, we could've been up 2-0...

Just stop. Please. We are losing the series. Anyone who thinks we are winning both in Dallas is wrong. We might just get swept. Every game is going to be close and if we can't/haven't performed in late game situations we are done.
First its, "we will win a game on the road for sure". Now its, "we are going to win both in Dallas". Come on guys. You have WAY TOO much hope for this team. They suck in late game situations.

You know me? No you don't! I'm not going to question your credentials as a mavs fan since I've never met you. So if you don't have anything that brings something worth while, just shut up.
I'm calling it how it is. Majority of you have been wrong so far saying we are going to beat the Thunder. This team doesn't have it. I've been saying it since after the all-star break.

Mavericks have been in worse situations and have overcome them. I like our chances at home and Scott brooks is still the worst coach in the league. I just don't see the thunder playing well on the road. I don't know why but I just don't

We played fairly well until the last few minutes of each game. I'm not taking anything away from the mavs before those last three minutes. However, you have to realize that the mavs aren't going to run away in any of these games. They are going to come down to late game situations and we are horrible in those situations. We play like a bunch of scared high schoolers. So many idiotic plays that veterans are not suppose to make. We have blow our chances to win in so many game this season. So many comebacks against us. So many game winning shots. So many dumb fouls. That is why I don't see us winning the series.
Plus, I'm pretty sure this team is demoralized after they let two games get away.

A team full of old veterans that have been through plenty of gut wrenching losses in their careers is going to be demoralized? Shut the fuck up dude! Stop with the we bullshit. You are not WE! You are not a part of this fan base coming on here to gloat about being right about a prediction of Mavs failure.
GO AWAY!

Dude when we lost to POR last playoffs after giving up a 23 point lead I believe, THAT was demoralizing and did you see how we respond? I am so pumped for game 3 it's unreal. Look at what we could have done to OKC.
Don't you see? You're focusing on so many negatives when the positive is looking you right in the face. We are more than capable, just got a few kinks to work out down the stretch. You act like OKC has dominated us or something. Just wait till Dirk and co get back to Dallas. Just wait till they have that team conversation. Shit's gonna get real ugly for OKC real quick. Don't be so quick to shit on your* team man.
Asterisk because most of your posts are always focused on the negative aspects of the team.. I can't remember the last time I saw something supporting and positive.

Your a bit on the negative side. I never knew losing on a buzzer beater on the road in game 1 qualified as sucking in late game situations.
We're not getting our but whooped and this team is more than capable of winning two games. We just need to limit turnovers from the beginning. This OKC team is turnover happy we know how to beat them.

We can talk about the miscues until we are blue in the face, but Westbrook is having his way with Kidd/West/Terry with his jumper. May not be a popular opinion, but I would consider putting Roddy on Westbrook. His jumper is very clockwork with the timing...1..2..3..stop and pop. Roddy had it down pat in the last meeting and got a couple of blocks frustrating Russell and I believe he shot horrible the rest of the game. They have to do something to get him out of rhythm.

It's true. Roddy definitely bothered WB a lot on those. And with the way WB now has Terry on lock-down on D, I think it's worth a try.

we'd pull a lead and then jack up shots until we were down and then we'd try again.
Not a way to win.
We can (and have to) do better next year

Did everything to win those two games. Played better than many expert expected. Bad luck or bad shots at the end made the difference. Dirk couldn't deliver. That open three could have won us the game. Don't think the Thunder are the better team. Hope the home crowd can give us the needed push to win the next two games.
Go Mavs!

It stinks that we've lost two games on the road by a combined four points. What's almost as bad is that we lost both games right at crunch time when one would expect our veterans to be able to use their experience and take advantage of it. On paper, we almost couldn't have asked for better scenarios than to have both games come down to the final minute.
While it'll be tough to come back from an 0-2 deficit, this series has been way too close so far to not at least remain hopeful.

Very disappointing loss, but considering the way the Mavs faltered putting games away during the regular season, I'm disappointed but not surprised. The Mavs certainly don't play like a veteran team when it comes to closing out games. Heck, they couldn't even close out the 1st quarter. THAT was a massacre.

Not devastated. Lost both games. Definitely had our chances. If Kidd 3 goes in game 1 to go up 10 we win. If Dirk in goes in game 2 to go up 4 we win. Both were wide open looks. We have been right there. Anyone saying this series is over didn't watch our run last year. Time to go home, take care of business get it back to 2-2 and strap up!
Anyone who is giving up or saying this series is over didn't watch last years playoffs because if you did you would know giving up at any point isn't an option. So quit your bitching get behind the ball club for game 3 and LETS GO! All OKC did was what they were supposed to do like every team that has home court. They didn't do anything out of the norm. Come on now! Cut the bullshit!

Don't care, won championship.
But seriously, the free pass I gave Cuban and the MBT after the championship is gone.
Better do something this offseason or Cuban will forever go down as an idiot for not resigning that team.
