Western Conference Finals Preview

Oklahoma City Thunder (4) vs. Dallas Mavericks (2)
-This is going to be a high scoring series with some big time performances from star players.. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook two of the youngest superstars in the NBA against Dirk Nowitzki one of the greatest 7 footers of all time, and Jason Kidd one of the best PG's in recent memory. How will the Mavericks stop the electrifying Westbrook, and hope will they stop the guy who can shoot from anywhere in Durant? How can the Thunder possibly stop Dirk who seems to be unstoppable no matter who guards him. This is going to be a fun series to watch.
