NBA Finals Thread: Dallas Mavericks vs. Miami Heat

[Murax]

The refs have also called this series surprisingly fair

I still think they give Wade too many fouls.

ATLEAST NOT THIS ONE

Wow. I feel so bad...for the Mavs. To be so high today after their unlikely win, and then the feeling they'll feel after the Heat win the series, it's pre-tragic. Maskiins.

NBA Finals in the 2-3-2 format have been tied at 1-1 only 11 times. All 11 times, the winner of Game 3 won the series.

Game 3 is the game, we'll see if this carries over. I don't trust Dallas because Terry choked on Chalmers' 3 and was bailed out by Dirk just shytting on Chris Bosh with 3 secs left

I doubt it'll spill over into game 3...Miami is a veteran team, they're not OKC who are barely old enough to be in the arena without their parents. Don't get me wrong, Dallas is a really good team, but over a 7 game series, your flaws get exposed and the coaching staff zeroes in on what ur doing. The only thing is, everyone always knows what Lebron and D-Wade are gonna do yet they're still gonna do it...the defense might as well just grab a seat and watch cuz they're both unguardable.

Murax, I disagree about Dallas having the advantage the longer the series goes. Their starters have an average age of like 33, and Miami's is around 28...they have the fresher legs, and if Dallas has any chance of winning this series, they gotta sweep the next three at home. Which they won't, cuz they don't have a chance of winning this series.

With Caron Butler out for the entire season I didn't even think Dallas could get by Portland wallahi. It is hard to discount this Mavericks team this year. They remind me of the Celtics team from last year that went all the way to game 7 of the NBA finals when everyone thought they would be eliminated in the first round when the play-offs started.

Of all the team that fell apart in the fourth quarter this playoffs, this one was by far the worst. 15 pts up in the 4th and the Heat basically thought they this in the bag, but ended being schooled down the stretch. Even tho Dallas was resilient in that 4th, they still played a very bad game most of the game. They just played a much worse team than they r in that 4th. Kidd with million TO and Terry hitting bricks most of the game. We're gona have a good series but the Heat will come on top when its all said and done

Yep, one of the worst games I have ever seen, they actually thought they won, and started celebrating after Wade hit that three, and when they realized what was happening it was too late.

I think Lebron and Wade will be furious and wreak havoc on game 3. Clearly Miami is the better team.

[FAH1223]

Dallas is going to hit their shots at home. As long as they don't turn the ball over, they will win.

MIA still struggles in half court.

Dallas has played horribly for 7 1/2 quarters and they are in a tied series. You know they will play better and take better care of the ball. MIA will still force some but a lot of the turnovers was just pure mental break downs.

I can't believe in DAL winning it all if Terry continues to choke in big situations

Great game, I am a man who loves heart not talent, I was really hoping the Mavs would win and my duca came to be true. All the fake heat fans were on their knees are Da' Dirty Dirk was killing em. Every nigga here in toronto who hated CB4 after he moved had a great life tonight after he allowed teh easy layup and choked.


Go Mavs

[kadarre]

Isit me or Its Dwayne Wade looked better than lebron.

Damnit. I'm a Wade fan.

[DANGIRL]

LOL

[Berke]

Dude is grabbing his eye. Wade is so used to getting everything called for him. He is always surprised when a foul is not called for him.

I agree with this. If Terry chokes then Dallas has no chance of winning this championship. He basically allowed Miami to get back in the game when he left Mario Chalmers all alone to hit that 3 that tied the game. Barea needs to be played more too. Jason Kidd just had way too many turn overs even though some were clearly not his fault because Terry and Marion did not get open. For Dallas to take this series Marion, Chandler and Dirk have to play at the same level or better, Kidd and Terry need to play much much better. Terry is their second best scorer and he had only 16 points in the second game and only 14 in the first game. That is unacceptable.

I didn't sleep well last night

The loss was a '95 Nick Anderson on the chokage scale

Keep the faith alive my fellow Canuck.

I'm trying sis but I don't have a good feeling about this one. The 2-3-2 format is not much of an advantage to begin with and Miami compounded it with an epic loss at home...If Dallas ends up winning this thing, David Stern's hype machine will be forcing Dirk Nowitzki down our throat and rubbing him under our collective noses for the next few years
