It's the only thing keeping me sane on my (totally life affirming) travels:
dallas-okc was wow. dirk is playing like a man on fire. barrea looks like a guy doing magic tricks. jason terry has that indomitable peppe lepeiu bounce to his step (and shot). the biggest hole in okc's offense seemed to me in this game to be durant's lack of a post game. if you can chase him around you can, not shut him down, but keep him and the rest of the office scrambling. dirk went into the post over and over and over, inevitably either scoring or drawing a foul. he just totally demoralized them.
Based on your post and looking at the post-game stats, I agree that OKC cannot stop Dirk.
ReplyDeleteit was weird (and noted by mark jackson) that it seemed strange -- and borderline abusive to serge ibaka -- for brooks not to swamp novitsky with double-teams.
