Interesting first half as the Thunder gave Dirk some different looks and then really attacked offensively.

That allowed Tyson Chandler to roam free inside and he had 11 suprise points and should have finisheda couple more times. Shawn Marion also gave away some chances.

Nowitzki took five shots, making 3, and had 13 points.

OKC’s point guard tandem of Russell Westbrook and Eric Maynor were very, very good, combining for 21 points to help OKC lead 59-57.

I think Dallas has a lock on the series if it pulls out Game 2, but should be in for a six or seven-game thriller if OKC can keep this up 24 more minutes.

That Durant guy. He’s still good. Had 14 early and has 16-13 edge on Dik at the half.

The Blazers got lucky, at least according to most NBA talking heads, by drawing the Dallas Mavericks.

No one wanted to draw the Lakers, which the Blazers were one Kobe Bryant missed 3 from doing on Wednesday night, and it seemed all the lower seeds wanted to play Dallas.

I still think the 57-win Mavs are a better bet than the 48-win Blazers.

I expect Dallas to win in five or six.
