    Dirk might be unstoppable. But it shows how good Wade + Bosh (sometimes) is. LeBron has been awfully passive these past couple of games. Maybe he's just deferring to Wade?

    Wade hit so many big shots.

    Dirk can't make them all.

    they can't beat miami without the refs. same thing in game 2. they want to prolong this series b/c of all the superstar power in this series.

    I hate Dallas and everything but I feel sorry for Dirk.....that turnover he had was big.

    Wow......but what a great game. This Finals has been highly competitive.

    Miami got all the calls in game 2. Dallas had to pull off a miracle to prevail. Did you even watch it?

    Good D from Haslem on the last shot... francis 4 prez gets to breathe. The way Dirk's playing, that probably might have gone down.

    Bosh avoids ridicule for the time being.

    That was a pretty disappointing and unexciting ending.

    idk what is goingon with lebron? he needs to stop with the pick and roll and just attack marion. they're doubling him all over, but it's not something he hasn't faced in his career.

    it's all on him.

    miami has a 2-1 lead with lebron being passive, bosh shooting poorly, and refs favoring dallas.

    The refs could only do so much for Dallas. They got them in the penalty early in the 3rd qtr and kept sending them to the free throw line in the 4th to help them get back in the game. There were so many phantom fouls on the Heat and let's not forget about the missed calls against the Heat, such as when Marion fouled LeBron twice on that one play at the end.

    Total free throws - Miami: 15, Dallas: 27
    Total fouls - Miami: 27, Dallas: 14

    Lebron has really disappeared in the finals. doesn't attack the basket in the half court. he's just content with passing the ball back to Wade or jacking up a three. jason kidd is guarding him for chrissake.

    great bounce back for Miami... You can't coach that. you have to have guys that care.

    Dallas has to win games 4 and 5, no doubt about that.


    Wade and Bosh A+

    lebron needs like back-to-back 40 point games or something to get finals mvp if the heat win now

    i've blasted kobe for his poor finals performances and lebron deserves the same criticism

    Is it plainly obvious to anyone else how much better coached Dallas is? Just shows you how coaching is secondary in the face of overwhelming talent.
