Behind the Box Score, where the Mavericks and Knicks have their backs against it (Ball Don’t Lie)

Oklahoma City Thunder 95, Dallas Mavericks 79 (Oklahoma City leads series, 3-0) Sometimes, happily, the expected narrative doesn't work out the way you thought it would. This is not an example of such, because though we're very excited at the fact that the Oklahoma City Thunder can't seem to miss a shot these days, we would have much preferred the Dallas Mavericks extend this series in the typical NBA-style. This was supposed to be a close series, despite the Thunder nearly winning the West's top seed, and the first two games of this battle could have easily gone Dallas' way. And yet, in Game 3, OKC came through with the sort of blowout you usually see at home in one of the first two games. And certainly not on the road, already up 2-0, against the defending champs. This means, at 3-0, this series is effectively over. Again, it wasn't supposed to happen like this. And the odd part is, though you may disagree, I don't think the Mavericks came out and expected the close results in OKC + home crowd + playoff orthodoxy to ease them into a win. They attempted to win the damn win, and the Thunder just put a halt to it. Fascinating, in this messed up postseason that is somehow way more messed up than the regular season was.

Plea from Knick Fans – Why Do This to Us?: A Fan’s Perspective (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

For all the inspiration derived from a 17-6 finish to the NBA truncated season, and all the excitement generated from an improved defense and a newly invigorated Carmelo Anthony, it doesn't mean a darn thing if the Knicks embarrass themselves as they did in Game 1 against the Miami Heat.
