    The Heat should be able to beat the Mavs. They have better defensive options to guard Dirk and will actually take advantages of their mismatches on offense and not let guys like JJ and Terry slide on defense

    Dear Energizer Bunny, the reason you cant close games when it counts is because you have a foul magnet at center(Collison) and a physically challenged shooter at the power forward........way to have your 2 starting power players on the bench in 4th quarters when your team needs a big rebound... Sometimes coaching seems so easy in certain situations...Damn shame a paid professional cant see that

    You guys are just too harsh on those young stars. The pressure, the energy, the emotion swing, after such big loss, are those PC poses really that important? How mature were we at that age, as average Joe? Imagine the fame, money, pressure, those young guys get.

    Let it go.

    Lebron or Dirk winning a title; it's like watching a lemon party or goatse.

    Okay, I rooted for the mavs and will root for them in the finals, but no way am I gonna watch them celebrate the win tonight or if they win later.

    Dirk gives great post game interviews. I know ts my duty as a rockets fan to bate the Mavs, but I just don't. I really respect dirk. He understands the game so well.

    On OKC side, where were their bigs? Where was Perkins? Couldn't secure a defensive rebound. Too many turnovers.

    At 22 I'd have been trying to set the arena on fire. Would have definitely done something arrestable, at least. Kid showed a lot of poise just to calmly walk off the court, if you ask me.

    Depends how well they defend. If they make it hard for the Heat to score, they will win. If they don't protect the rim better, no chance.
