I think that was Dallas' best game possible. I don't think they can play any better than they did. Barea and Dirk had record games and Terry had a solid game. But yet Thunder were still in the game and almost stole a game on the road. We have yet to see the best game from the Thunder. I think Thunder should feel good, they need to let Dirk get his but stop Terry and Barea from having solid games. The series doesn't start until a team wins on the road. Should be a fun series to watch.

Offensively it was great - defensively it left a ton to be desired

They never got close to stealing the game!! Dallas played horrible defense which is what allowed them to come that close. If they play D like they did against the lakers the thunder doesn't stand a chance. Also they will more than likely start double teaming Dirk. Which will open up Terry and Barea more. Its hard to stop a team with that many amazing shooters!

I agree with the last sentence, but I don't think it was Dallas' D that beat the Lakers. I believe it was their offense that dismantled the Lakers. For one Dirk was playing great, then Terry and others were shooting well from the 3 pt line, and then the pick and roll with Barea and Dirk tore up the Lakers. Lakers lost 2 of the 4 games on their own by beating themselves. They were right there with Dallas I believe up until the last 5 mins. That's close especially for Dirk and Barea having really good games and only Durant having a good game on the Thunder side. I repeat the key to Thunder winning the series will be if Russell steps up his game. By that I mean getting more assists that taking shots and getting penetration.

OKC's bench came up big, Hardin was making key shots that kept them in the lead all night. Winner of game 3 in a 1-1 series usually takes the series 70% of the time so this next game is big.

Great game by OKC. Harden made the big difference. Russell did his part for first 3 quarters. I think it was wise/risky for thier coach to keep the bench players in late in the 4th. Dirk played well but struggled at times, Collison did a good job defending him. Durant makes those jumpers look easy, lol, I think he is the best scorer easily in the league right now.

How do they determine where the first game is played?

Can you buy the tickets early so you don't have to get raped by the ticket scalpers?

That is correct, I believe season ticket holders have first choice on playoff games, not a 100% positive. I'm pretty sure its hard not to get raped by the scalpers in playoff games. Goodluck though.
