This is a fascinating matchup between the defending champion Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder, a team many believe will end up winning this year’s championship. What will win out? Will it be veteran experience or that youthful talent?
While I think the Mavs will play better in the postseason than they did in the regular season, the Thunder just have too much talent. The Mavs have Dirk Nowitzki – and that’s about it. The Thunder, on the other hand, have Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden. All three of those players can take over a game. At some point, I expect the Thunder to take over this series.
PREDICTION: Thunder in 6
