Thunder move on, now conference finals are set

May 16th 2011 02:02
Oklahoma City broke open a close game in the third quarter and coasted to an easy 105-91 victory over Memphis on Sunday afternoon. Right now in the Eastern Conference finals game one, Chicago has a six-point advantage in the third quarter. The game was knotted up at halftime and the home bulls took this lead due to a 10-0 run. Miami stars are in foul trouble, including Lebron James and Chris Bosh, both guys had two early on in the game. Look for the Bulls to continue this romp to a victory here.

Game one of the Western Conference Finals is on Tuesday, with Dallas hosting the tired Oklahoma City Thunder. Dallas should be well rested with a nine-day break after disposing of Los Angeles on Mothers day. Only two days of rest for the Thunder who will face a different type of foe then they have taken on during the playoffs thus far. Dallas can play defense, something Denver and Memphis had issues with. I love the matchups in this series. Who will guard Russell Westbrook on Dallas? Jason Kidd has been playing like a 20-something year-old but he is going to get wore out quickly. Jason Terry is a tad bit short. Deshawn Stevenson will likely get more minutes then Dallas is accustomed to giving him.


Who will get Kevin Durant? Shawn Marion likely grabs the assignment, his hands are sure to be full with the league's scoring leader. Durant had an off game in game six of the series with Memphis, only getting 11 points. He came back with a-vengeance on Sunday, scoring 39 points. He scored 18 points in the first half, already triumphing game six's output. Looking forward to the series, will have a breakdown of game one tomorrow.
Dallas will have to show an array of defenders to slow down Russell Westbrook

Durant is a superstar, and superstars take control of important games. I still think the Mavs will beat them and go to the finals.
