NBA Finals: Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks

[X-Clown]

Rick Carlisle is a dead ringer for Jim Carrey in me, myself, and Irene

The Mavericks just seem to have more character as a basketball team. These close games usually come down to that character; who's going to get the loose ball? Who's going to make a tough shot that's well defended? Who's going to get that big block?

Tyson Chandler, Jason Terry, Jason Kidd - those are the kinda guys you want on your basketball team. They're not filling up stat sheets but they are making plays when it matters most. I just wish Chandler had put forth this effort when he played for the Bobcats.

Miami will be playing at home but if they don't step up and play better as a unit, it's not going to matter. The Mavericks are hungry and they only need one win to finish their goal. It should be interesting.

came down to this...jason terry came to play!!!. Dirk will be Dirk, but he needs help. JJ was awesome deep as well.

every single nba game calls are talked ab, not even worth discussing imo. Heat had a lead in the 4th and blew it. Dallas was hot beyond the arc tonight and it damn sure helped them win

hard to show your character when it's being ripped away from you in the form of momentum when clear fouls aren't putting the Heat at the line and taking away the element of foul trouble for the Mavs..

Mavs are in the finals for a reason, don't get me wrong. and I see what you're saying.

but some serious momentum killers should have went the other way..

Got to say that getting lost in all the worry about who is clutch and legacies being decided that these have been some of the best NBA finals games that I can remember.

KT didn't you criticize Rose for his shooting percentage in the last series?

LeBrick's FG percentage in the 4th quarter this series? 6%.

LeBrick is doing everything he possibly can to make Pippen look like a fool comparing him to the true KING.

Heat get more calls than any other team in the NBA. Tonight was one of the few games I've ever seen where the players were, for the most part, allowed to play.

so you saw it too..

LeBron 4th quarter: 2pts (1-4fg).

[Swarly]

LeBron 4th quarter: 2pts (1-4fg).

Not just tonight. In the past 4 games he's had 4 points or less in the 4th quarter.

Tonight's 2 points were scored in garbage time when the game was already out of reach. So really he scored 0 points in the 4th tonight.

Some king he is. :rolleyes:

They love that loose ball foul, they should get rid of the dumbass rule anyway,

as much flopping as there is in the nba now, i really dont respect any part of the officiating. Ts are sketchy, i just dont put stock in it. i understand it, but to me, its all fuged up all over. im over it.

[Dpantherman]

i dont think respect was the right word...bit i hope u guys get what i mean. maybe trust or honor would have been better.
