    Great series, very entertaining. Wade just continues to amaze me. Dallas was there but just couldn't close the gap. Stupid turnovers are killing them.

    i don't know what games you are watching, jkidd has been on lebron at most 3-4 possessions all series. marion has been guarding him.

    yes. that is true. when you have talent, defense, hustle, diving for loose balls, coaching, stats, all dont matter. hustle wins games, talent wins championships.

    The people cheering for the Heat on this board are just as annoying as real Heat fans are on their boards. I can understand and respect it there but why in the hell are there so many Miami fans here? I just don't get it. They even have the nerve to call people that are against Miami trolls. Did I miss something?

    With more time on the clock, maybe. But 4.4 seconds is just not enough time to set up Nowitzki to make a quality move.

    The Heat played with a bit more urgency down the stretch, while the Mavs seemed overconfident. But I'm wondering why Carlisle didn't go with the staggered pick-and-roll, which worked so well in the previous game.

    Weird series. Fun and great, but weird.

    maybe it was one possession where i noticed Kidd was on Lebron and all he did was take a couple of dribbles and pass. all i could think was drive passed that grandfather!

    did jon barry just say "we can clearly see who is the closer" about wade after lebron pretty much shutdown every single win in the boston and chicago series and wade just straight sucked in the whole chicago series?

    Honestly, this should be 3-0 Miami right now.

    This series may not even go back to Miami.

    LeBron isn't an alpha dog,Wade is one. LeBron needs to step up,his skill set and size is greater than Wade's. If he doesn't,Dallas will win.

    lol, so naive. LeBron's gonna take a beating in here for deferring to Wade in crunch time.

    JVG, Yao, McGrady and pretty much every Rockets player involved in that series have probably moved on years ago.

    I'm always amazed when Miami fans argue over this point.

    Does it really matter when they are both on the same team?

    :confused:

    Lebron had 9 assists, and made some key passes. I'm sure he doesn't care about the MVP, and only wants to win. If that means passing to wade all game, im sure he wont complain.
