The first thing I learned is that no matter how good you’re playing, Russell Westbrook will find a way to not get you the ball when it counts. The last 10 minutes of game 5 should have belonged to James Harden, but his point guards (Maynor included) denied him of that opportunity. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Westbrook as a player but I think years from now he’s going to look at these playoffs and wish he had done a few things differently.
The second thing I learned is that an older team with hunger will be willing to battle to the end no matter what it takes. The Dallas Mavericks showed the young guys on the park that they still had to work on their game.
The third thing I learned is that humble people still exist. After the game Kevin Durant stayed on that court and gave congrats to the Dallas Mavericks as a professional should. I wish all star players had this mind set.
The fourth and final thing I learned is that Dirk is a beast.
