There isn’t much debate about how we lost Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs, it basically comes down to Dirk Nowitzki just dominating the court. As far as a fantastic game of basketball, Dirk topped it as he managed to get an incredible 48 points on 15 shots. The Mavs lead by at most 16 throughout the game, and played fantastically throughout. No, this isn’t a Mavericks blog but we definitely have some good sportsmanship over here.

The Mavs were definitely prepared while we may have been a little too confident, or perhaps, just perhaps a little underprepared as we went into Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs. Kevin Durant helped us mostly keep up with the Mavs while Russell Westbrook barely participated in the game. Hopefully we can get some real inner team spirit happening as we head towards Game 2.

We need to be a little less agressive as we do move into Game 2 and make sure we are setting up some solid offense to defend against Dirk. All isn’t lost yet, we still have a long way to go in the Playoffs. Let’s bring it together and show some Thunder team spirit!
