Tell you what though, both teams are playing with a lot of heart. Both playing like they really want to win and Durant's been nothing but spectacular for Oklahoma City. But the team of choice for me is Dallas this season, I also like Chicago's team but like the Thunder they'll get another chance next year and this is definitely the last year we'll probably see of Dallas getting this far. Nowitzki's played well and now needs to reconfirm it this post season and take a championship home.

Miami? I hate that team, Bosh and Wade are cool but LeBron's not. Didn't like him when he played for Cleveland and still don't.

OKC is not the largest city in land size.

Jacksonville, FL at 747 Sq Miles but they are few cities in Alaska that are even larger..

do you know what not consolidated with the county means?? It means it is NOT consolidated with the county

Jackonville is consolidated with its county, so are the Alaskan cities you are thinking of.

OKC is a free standing city, it is not consolidated with its city and hence my point of it being THE LARGEST GEOGRAPHICAL CITY NOT CONSOLIDATED WITH ITS COUNTY.

While I like Fort Worth, there's a lot of misconceptions about Dallas being told here. City limits and city populations are so yesterday, they're an irrelevant metric except when it comes to municipal funds and crime.

Lets look at the progress of both metro divisions in the Metroplex in the last 10 years to see which side has the leg up over the other.

Dallas-Plano-Irving Metropolitan Division 2000: 3,451,226
Dallas-Plano-Irving Metropolitan Division 2010: 4,235,751

Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Division 2000: 1,710,318
Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Division 2010: 2,136,022

Fort Worth isn't catching up to Dallas, period. It's not an issue, population doesn't mean everything but Dallas and Houston are Texas's first tier cities not Fort Worth. US2010

I thought I was the only one lol

I can only tolerate Basketball for so long. I usually switch back and forth to keep up with the game, but I can't just sit and watch it. I hate playing it too. However, nothing is worse than watching baseball [OK, except golf].

I don't mind hoopin every once in a while, but watching is a chore. I caught a few games this season but honestly could care less about who's playing who. Football's the only game I thoroughly enjoy, but I'm still not as preoccupied with sports as most dudes are.

And how does a black giraffe hate playing basketball? Lol

Because I suck at it lol

It's honestly boring to me and plus people always hold me up to higher standard because my mom was known for her skills back in the day. I love track and football, but I just don't like basketball.

I don't understand why FW and Dallas people can't stand each other. Together they pack a punch as a metro that they wouldn't have if 1 or the other didn't exist. You guys are on the same team lol.

Yeh, Westbrook needs to calm down! Put the game on Durant's back; he can handle it.

Also, the Thunder need to make sure they stay arms-length away from Dirk or it's an automatic foul.
