On Saturday, the Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a last second victory over the defending champion Mavericks.Up by 7 points with less than 3 minutes to go, they went on a 7 - 0 run to win by 1.Here are my 3 keys to a Maverick victory in game 2: They must get support from the bench. Delonta West and Vince Carter have to contribute. Dirk and Terry must play well Dallas Big Men have to slow down the Thunder by rebounding and protecting the paint. If Dallas can do these 3 things they should be able to returned to Dallas tied 1game each.You are in a better position returning to Dallas tied rather than being down 2 games. - Royce Fisher, RF Sports Radio

The Washington Redskins selected with the 2nd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft the new face of the franchise Robert Griffin III. Then in the 4th round selected with the 102nd pick in the draft QB Kirk Cousins. This immediately drew the backlash of NFL analysts and scouts alike. Why would you want to bring in another rookie QB? Why start a QB controversy? There is no controversy. Period. If Robert Griffin III can not outplay Kirk Cousins then he deserves not to be the starter. The QB position in the NFL is the most important position in sports. Nobody should blame Mike Shanahan for drafting Cousins to be an understudy for his offense. The Redskins have tried the veteran route for years with no success. Now they will the luxury of grooming a top QB prospect in their own offensive scheme. Just look at what teams like Green Bay and New England have done with Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn, Matt Cassel, and Ryan Mallett. This is good business for any franchise. - Rodney Fisher, RF Sports Radio

Up by 7 with less than 2 minutes left on the road in game 1 of a playoff series against the most athletic team in the NBA sounds like a steal for the oldest team in the league, but no. On a last second shot by Kevin Durant, NBA scoring champion for a third straight year, the Thunder get the win. The shot was well contested by Shawn Marion, but got a lucky bounce. Dirk Nowitzki turned the ball over in the last minute to give the Thunder a break-away slam to give them a 1 point lead before Dirk hit two clutch free throws. In short, a lot of different story lines to the game and it's outcome, but head coach Rick Carlisle wants all the blame. During the post game press conference, Carlisle did not shy away from the criticism and even put more on himself. "We should have double teamed [Durant] and got the ball out his hands...blame me", he stated. He is probably right, but hard to argue the defense Shawn Marion played on Durant making the shot as difficult as it was. More of...

It is playoff time... The feel in the Mavs locker room was anxiety as the players awaited the start of the real season. Delonte West after suffering a stomach illness will play. Dirk chose to skip the locker room media invasion to shoot hoops in front of the Thunder crowd with Brad Davis. James Harden did the same thing getting ready for his first game back from a concussion. The stage is set. The players are ready. The season for the Mavs starts now...

Well the hammer has fell...Metta World Peace, Ron Artest will miss 7 games due to his overly excited elbow to the back of James Harden's head this past Sunday. These means the entire first round of the playoffs and $348,000 lost. Ironically, if the Lakers survive round 1 they will play the Thunder next.

I know there will be plenty of trades made throughout the first two rounds, but this mock draft is straight-up. Tune in to tonight's show for more analysis.

In case your cable or satellite bill is somewhat behind, the player formerly known as Ron Artest elbowed Thunder 6th man James Harden in the back of the head. Metta World Peace has been open about his struggle with anger management and social disorder since his infamous "Malice in the Palace" incident that made him a house hold name. Now that the deed is done, what should his punishment be? 5 game suspension? 2 game suspension? What do you think? {leave your comments below}

Colts GM Ryan Grigson addressed the media yesterday telling the world that indeed Andrew Luck will be the first pick in this years upcoming draft. This will be Grigson's first big move after the departure of Peyton Manning and will be his career defining move also. This will now allow the Redskins to begin contract negotiations Robert Griffin III. The goal for both teams is to have something in place quickly so they can start OTAs and marketing to the fan base for the new season.

The popularity of the NFL is higher than if has ever been. With the NBA season coming to a close, MLB starting to heat up, and the NHL playoffs giving us overtime hockey; the release of the NFL schedule is the top story. Throw in the mix that the NFL will dominate headlines next week with the draft and truly the sport has become year-round entertainment. Biggest change has to be the advancement of games played on Thursday throughout the season and adding some Tuesday night games towards the end to compliment Saturday and Sunday. Sundays are for football. This is what has made the NFL special since it's inception. Roger Goddell needs to tread carefully with his plans for television expansion throughout the week. Sometimes diminishing what has always worked for something new does not work at all. Click here for Big Matchups this upcoming season from ESPN's John Clayton

Lamar Odom can come back as a "ball boy" says Metta World Peace ESPN NBA Ex-teammate: Odom has options

After a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night, the Mavericks staff decided it was time to part ways with Lamar Odom. They spent Easter Sunday working on the conditions of his release. Odom did release this statement to ESPNDallas.com, " The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it's in the best interest of both parties for me to step away from the team.  I'm sorry that things didn't work out better for both of us, but I wish the Mavs' organization, my teammates and Dallas fans nothing but continued success in the defense of their championship." At this point, Lamar will not be eligible to play on any team's playoff roster. It should be noted that the Mavs are 0-7 when Lamar has not played, but they have lost their share of games when he has.
