MAVERICKS won! OMG!

One more comment.. Even tough Miami clearly has more talent then the Cleveland teams, we never had problems closing out games.. In clutch moments we would always have at least 3 shooters on the floor, sometimes even 4 around LeBron. He never had to score himself to close the games, he always did what he does best. Drive and dish out to an open shooter and it pretty much always worked.. That's the difference at least when it comes to late games between us and them.

The difference is LeBron played like he had a pair of stones between his legs in Cleveland (with a few very noteworthy exceptions).

Miami LeBron wants no part of the ball in these Finals. It's sickening.

 

[elcheato]

For whatever reason (probably has to do with added pressure and wanting to silence critics about his move to Miami) he has been taking the last second shots and clutch shots.. He should know who he is and so should the Heat.. Give him the ball and let him find someone open.

I cant believe the Mavericks are 1 game away from winning the championship. Dirk needs to get his ring, he is sooooo close!!!


Im predicting Dirk goes off in Game 6 for 40 points.

Maybe you should actually give the Mavs a chance and credit..

Lol at the Heat fans crucifying Bron now. This is one of the reasons I thought he shouldn't have went there.

even i havent brought up the laker tonight SMH

Yea but thats way different. The Lakers had a lot more experience than these Heat do. They already won a championship before that. They had the best player in the NBA and the greatest coach of all-time.

im giving them plenty of credit

and of course i give them a chance


but idk if those role players will be hitting all those shots in miami
miami has only lost 1 home game these playoffs, and they even blew a 15 point lead late in that game

Portland is oviously winning game 5. No way Dallas can come back from that that blown lead.
Portland is obviously winning game 6. Dallas got it done at home but the hungry Blazers and a resurgent B-Roy take game 6 and send the series off to Dallas.
LA is obviously winning game 2. No way Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Bynum let the Mavs take two at the Staples Center.
LA is obviously winning game 3. No way Kobe loses 3 in a row to any team.
LA is obviously winning game 4. Kobe won't allow Lakers to be swept; if they win, Dallas will lose game 5 on the road.
OKC is obviously winning game 3. they stole game 2 in Dallas and they're younger and more athletic.
OKC is obviously winning game 4. They've got one of the best HCA in the league, Dallas can't take two here.
OKC is obviously winning game 5. OKC will bounce back after the collapse and send the series back to OKC, where they'll probably win too.
Miami is obviously winning game 2. No way Wade and LeBron can be held in check, especially if the Heat get a big lead.
Miami is obviously winning game 4. LeBron and D-Wade put the chokehold on the Mavs tonight and finish it on Thursday.
Miami is obviously winning game 5. No way the big 3 lose to this team twice in a row... It hasn't happened all playoffs!

Miami is obviously winning game 6. [insert reason to doubt the Mavericks here]

can you imagine what would be happening if he had gone to New York and played like this?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I will say this for Lebron, they are asking ALOT of him. Chasing Terry around on defense all game long for five straight games, Dallas likes to run Terry through alot of screens and just have him constantly moving. That would take a toll on anybody, then you add what Miami asks him to do on offense, it's not all on Lebron.
