geez bibby needs to just take himself out the game

I think he should keep shooting.

Go Mavs 7-0 run out of halftime, let push it on up

They're down now, you jinx them good job...

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

That three from Lebron to end the third was a thing of beauty. Fourth quarter time where champions are made!

Bullshit loose ball foul on dirk

 

[QueBert]

Now that I've had time to think about it I just can't see Miami winning over one game.
I'm going with mavs in 5. This is Dallas' year. Mavs are just a better basketball team. No holes at any position and the best bench in basketball. Miami is in for a rude awakening. I wouldn't be surprised to see a blowout tonight in the mavs favor.

Every team Miami has played in the playoffs were suppose to blow them out of the water. Sorry but the Mavs don't have a better team.

This game is still too close to call. I think it's going down to the wire.

Bullshit loose ball foul on dirk

Total phantom call. The one on Chandler was pretty weak too.

Still, the difference in the game imo is Miami is getting offensive rebounds.

With 4:30 min to go, it's 16 to 6 in favor of the Heat. 43 to 34 total. Also Heat bench is coming up big. Chalmers 10, Haslem 7, and Miller 6 compared to Terry 12, Barea 2, and Haywood 3 for Dallas.

Where is the Dallas bench that was suppose to destroy the Heat bench?

I just want to hate Miami, but man they play great team basketball. Everyone thought it would be hard for 3 huge egos to mesh, but they play fantastic as a team.

To my surprise Bosh has literally zero ego. From everything that I've seen of him he has absolutely zero problem being in the background and trying to get rings. And from the tons of interviews Lebron and Wade gave before, during, and after the merger, they are genuinely friends and just want to win together.

Pretty much every team that has played in the playoffs is playing much differently than they were in the regular season. Miami is playing such great team basketball.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Wade continues to remain my favorite player. That block and then coming down to hit the three. He might not be able to do it the entire game anymore but he does it when it counts. Such a monster!

 

[Gibsons]

So, how many steps is a travel now?

 

[Arkaign]

Looks like the Mavs will need to regroup after this one. If any team can do it, they can though.

 

[QueBert]

that alley oop was SICK

 

[Svnla]

Mavs looked tired and old tonight. Too many broken assignments. They need to play much better or the broom will come out.

really? so this is the only game the Heat will win?

 

[jcuadrado]

Mavs haven't seen a ferocious D like this....it's suffocating isn't it?

Everyone has underestimated the Heat at their peril. Both teams played like crap, Miami just played a little better. Dallas beat them at FT's 25-32 to 19-26. Miami beat Dallas in rebounds 46 to 36 and bench points 27 to 17(if this doesn't change Dallas is getting swept). I expect the Heat to attack WAAAAAAY more in the next couple of games.

Goooo Heat!

 

[Ape]

Go Heat!

 

[Schfifty Five]

I know Mavs didn't play that great tonight, but those horrible calls against dallas sure made it impossible for Mavs to make any sort of run in the late game.

Mavs did look tired overall, but I'm not surprised that they would have a bad game after playing some really good games in the past 10 games or so. I mean, you're bound to have an off night right?

Just sucks that it happened on game 1 of the finals.

 

[HendrixFan]

Unless Dallas comes up with something to slow down Lebron, they won't have a chance in this series. He did a great job of picking his spots and coming through when needed.

His lockdown on JET was a huge factor in the second half.

Hard to have the better team when it's 8vs5. I just watched an entire room full of Rockets fans get pissed watching the game.

Didn't realize it was still 2006.

The hate people have for James is so great Miami could win 5 rings in a row and he could be MVP both regular season and playoffs all 5 of them. And they'll still call him overrated and whine about how he had to run to Miami to be able to win a ring.

The ironic part is Dirk said in an interview I read if the Heat had asked him to join their team this season, he would have seriously considered it. But they didn't, all the Dallas fans are so proud of how Dirk has always stayed true to his team blah blah blah.

No, the other team just didn't invite him to become one of them. 100% if Miami had said "Dirk you wanna come play with Wade James & Bosh" He would have said yes.
