    Do James and Wade always do their press conferences together? It's kind of funny.

    I hate how some journalists tried to bait Wade into commenting about the celebration after his big 3. The Mavs players only talked about it because the reporters kept asking about it, not because it bothered them so much.

    Miami was ahead by 15 with seven to go. I don't think they lose that lead again. They got too cocky. Next time, LeBron and Wade will drive into the lane I think, instead of trying to jack up miracle threes. I am less confident in Miami now after losing this game, but they will still win the series in 6.

    It's not like the Rockets are in the Finals.

    So do you guys think Miami is shook and can't recover, or will 2 days of hearing how they choked piss them off and let them take Game 3?

    And is Haywood gonna play?

    To be fair, no team with Jason terry, Tyson Chandler, and Deshawn Stevenson should be getting mad about post-shot celebrations.

    They do. They said it doesn' make sense for them to address the exact same questions twice, so may as well address them together once. Makes sense to me.

    Bosh needs to start playing well.

    Going somewhat along with this, and maybe a stupid question, ha, but is Chris Bosh always left out of the press conference? Seems like Wade and James do it together, then it's Chris Bosh either before or after them.

    Same here. I also expect them to win 2 out of 3 in Dallas.

    Lebron and Wade have been doing it all season.
    Also, no idea why Heat didn't foul on that lost possession, real bad stuff up..

    Well it wasn't 4:50 to go but it was fourth quarter.

    Not trying to attack Scarface, got nothing against him, actually respect him. I am sure many people felt that way and Dallas clearly proved them wrong.

    Interesting comment about Dallas's defense by James, saying his team was caught off guard when the Mavs began to "blitz the pick-and-rolls" of him and Wade in the fourth quarter, something the Mavs weren't doing prior to that. James said his forcing up fade-away 3s at the end of the shotclock had a lot to do with that adjustment.

    So some nice play-calling adjustments by Carlisle, but we'll see how Miami counters next game.

    Why should that matter though? Whether they meet the press together or separately, they each only need to answer the questions once. It's the reporters who have to ask the questions twice.

    Dwade is the only player on that team that has any heart. Well aside from Bibby and Chalmers.

    I bet dwade is saying whf? Lebron is such a whiny player with no heart. Bosh is worse.

    Yeah they have been doing that (as someone already wrote).
    One of the rare times they didn't was yesterday prior to practice when LeBron did his presser by himself.

    Also you don't know how much or if it did bother the Mavs a lot. If they said it spurred them on then so be it. I believe it.

    Looks like someone didn't watch the last two series.
