I don't even think that you are a Rockets fan so gtfo. Your name is SacTown, you joined in April 2011 and I don't think I have ever seen you in GARM. All your posts are just rooting for LeBron/Heat. You are a bandwagoning troll. This Mavs team is completely different from '05. Only two players are Dirk (whom I have respect for) and Terry (whom I can't stand but he is the only one). Don't like Cuban but can't deny that he is a great owner (willing to spend money and do what it takes to win). This is a classy team. So many players you can't help but to want to see win such as Dirk, Kidd, Marion, Stojakovic, Chandler, etc. Just because I refuse to worship your arrogant douchebag gods does not make me less of a Rockets fan.
Basically, give Wade the ball... You know, the guy that has a history of single-handedly carrying a team to a ring...
LOL, the Heat lost to the Mavs...the Bulls didn't win every playoff game either. I'm sure every opposing team's fans were overjoyed to take just 1 game from them. This game is good for Miami; now they know they can't just walk over the Mavs for an easy title.
This. I always thought Dirk got a lot of undeserved hate, I think whether he wins or loses it he's managed to clear all doubts about his greatness during this series. IMHO, his performance this whole season has been greater than any of Kobe's by a wide margin.
I'm rooting against Dallas, but not that hard. The Heat ain't the Rockets. If they want to f--k up and lose, that's on them. I ain't losing no sleep.
with 90 seconds left to play, a 2 point lead, dallas in the penalty, and a 5 to 3 possession advantage to close the game... miami's final 5 shots were all extremely poor 3-point attempts, only 1 of which was successful. all credit to dallas, but that was an incredifail on miami's part.
I guess Miami can't sweep anymore. And is wade's hand after nailing the three with seven minutes to go still up now that the game is over? It just annoyed me that Wade can go crazy ex girlfriend on any of the refs and carlisle cannot even call out the elbow of lebron. I'm happy that dirk was able to deliver when it counted. Going into Dallas, Dirk should finally watch the tape of the 2006 finals for extra motivation. Great comeback.
Dallas stole this one, I know they deserve a lot of credit...but can't stand Dallas and therefore that's enough. Big 3 collapsed, James and Wade missing shots at the end, and Bosh dribbles it out of bounds & lets Dirk go by w/o fouling. I still think Miami probably gets it done in 6 though.
I thought Carlisle did a fantastic job getting Dirk open down the stretch. It seemed like his tactics caught the Heat off guard. (I believe JVG said the Mavs were using stagger screens.) I still can't believe the Mavs pulled this one out. Wow.
He didn't carry his team single handedly. A lot of the calls that series were bogus, Shaq was an all nba 1st teamer that year and he had a ton of vets like Payton and Alonzo Mourning on his side. Also wasn't shooting lights out this game. This game most of those 36 pts were fts, he only shot 13 out of 20 and was only 3-7 from 3.
