This year in the NBA two teams made their way to the first round of the NBA playoffs. Tough’s teams are Thunder and Mavericks. Thunder has earned there way in to the playoffs because of their grate season they had with a record of 51-19. The mavericks has also earned there spot in the playoffs because of their players working as a team to beat other teams with a record of. So far in the playoffs Thunder has beat Mavericks twice with scores of 98-99, and 99-102. The key players on Thunders team are # 35 Kevin Durant, # 13 James Harden, # 37 Derek Fisher, and # 0 Russell Westbrook. They are stepping up to make thunder win, and trying to make it in to the finals. The key players on Mavericks team are # 2 Jason Kidd, # 41 Dirk Nowitzki, # 25 Vince carter. They have been in the game for more the 12 years and know how the playoffs can turn out if you don’t give up until it is over. The mavericks made it to the finals last year and beat Miami Heat for the tittle. The third game is coming up on THU, May 3, 8:30 PM. I think that Mavericks are going to beat Thunder in this game but thunder is going to make it really hard for them. I also think that Thunder is going to make it to the next round of the play offs. I wish a good luck to both teams in their games.
