Ok, but did you see the baby capybara?
Nope, was watching via a local (Indonesian) channel and not everything was shown from the original broadcast.

As for the match itself it had so many similarities with games that Kings lost this season (losing a considerable lead, meltdown in 2nd half, stopped making 3 pointers after a good first half, missing tons of free throws) that was painful to watch even though I preferred Thunder to win to extend the series for at least 2 more matches.

During the 1st half when Thunder couldn't hit a 3 pointer and whenever they attacked the basket they were getting blocked the whole time, I thought Dallas would win by 20+ points and gain huge psychological advance to finish the series in the 5th match in Oklahoma later on. But I was wrong obviously...

Btw in the conference semifinals , apart from Celtics that are up 3-1, all other 3 series are tied 2-2 and in the 16 matches that have been played the home side got the win just 7 times. During the play ins, the hosts won 5/6 matches and during the 1st round 28/43.

Yeah I didn't like the idea of Mavs going up 3-1 but I also am not rooting for OKC to win it all in their first year "good". That's ok though because I have whoever wins the other series going up against the East team. Probably the Celtics but I could see NYK and that 'nova chemistry getting past Boston.

Anyways I love capybaras, they closed the night with some rodents from a local zoo or something. I think Chuck called it ugly but I am hoping it was Dray because I mostly like Chuck and Dray can kick rocks. Dray was also complaining that they were not talking about basketball at 12:55am eastern time.
 
This announcing team is so miserable. No defending champ has made it past the second round in 5 years? Oh that means Denver is trying to "break ground." Thanks guys, super insightful.
