Great win by the Thunder to take a 3-0 in this series! Durant seems to have solved Shawn Marion's defense, while the Thunder managed to keep Dirk Nowitzki in check. Now, it's time to start preparing for Game 4. The Mavericks are no longer the team that won the 2011 NBA Championship, but it's hard to believe that they would allow this series to end in their building. The Thunder will need a start similar to tonight's if they are to close this series out on Saturday.
I have to think now that this is a sweep.

If the team clicks like they did tonight i have to agree
especially liked seeing durant and cook finding their grooves back and fisher keeping up his play from game 2
This series is OVER
How many times have the defending champs been swept out of the first round?
Series aint over yet, but if OKC comes out with the same intensity, focus in Game 3, i like their chances.
I think the heat got swept the year after they won it all
Top down, the Dallas culture is blame the refs. I'm eager to to see CelticThunderFan's comments from Mav's fans. Not even the most ardent Dallas fan could blame the officials tonight.
This.
I'll exhale when it's over. Until then, I won't count the chickens until they hatch.
Close them out in Dallas, Thunder.

Great win though attempting 28 3's is way too many for us. Having only 8 turnovers and holding Dallas to 34% FG shooting were keys to our win. Marion picking up 2 fouls in the first 8 minutes helped also.

Welcome to the new NBA. Four quarters of dance competition (Thunder Girls vs. the Laker Girls!) interrupted by brief displays of basketball.
Finish this sentence, 'I never leave home without _________'. 'Mascara, Cell phone and Pepper Spray' says Thunder Girl Hayley.
Dallas has been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs 3 of the last 5 seasons. Looks like it will soon be 4 out of 6.

...And to think this is the team most fans wanted over the Los Angeles Lakers. It probably didn't matter.
That comes from the top down, starting with Cuban a couple or three years ago, when he worked Stern and the refs during a playoff run.
And when the head coach begins working the refs in pre and post game press conferences ............. well, all of that filters down to the fan base.
