    An yall miami haters is more annoyin then laker fans.

    Where did all da Dallas Mavricks fans come from on a rockets form?

    Me personelly, ima rockets fan first but have always been a fan of lebrons game, even when he was a cav and now that he in miami i still roots for lebron.

    I also hates Dallas becuz they sworn enemys of H-town and da Rockets.

    Nice to see Lebron give the ball to the superior closer. He is very intelligent...

    The Heat won but it wasn't a clear knockout punch. I think the Mavs will believe they let this one get away. They believed in their "fourth quarter mojo" a little too much IMO.

    He does? I hear him complimenting Nowitzki all the time.

    He definitely hates it when players try to sell the calls though.

    I get the same vibe. One of my favorite things to look for in playoff match ups are the adjustments made. I was hoping to see what adjustment Spoelstra would make after the loss but I dont see it. The adjustment by Dallas to get the ball out of Lebron's hands after their loss helped them even up the series but I dont know what to say..they're now down 2-1

    I only caught the 4th quarter and from what I saw the Mavs blew it big time with bad defense and missed shots. How many open shots does Kidd need to make one? Dirk seemed exhausted from doing everything in the offense and having to get all the rebounds.

    On the other hand, Wade was really cool and collected taking those big shots. I don't understand, why don't LerBon get more involved in the offense? I would think he would take games over instead of being a facilitator.

    I think Dallas hate started with football and ended with football.

    Dallas has never been a rival of the Rockets. The Jazz have. The Sonics. The Celtics. Phoenix.

    I think some of the proximity for the Dallas Cowboys rubbed off on Rockets fans.

    Lebron deserves credit,but the finals are the biggest stage of them all. Passing and defense is fine, but he needs to be aggressive and attack. The Heat can't win the series without that.

    I am a Rockets fan first and also a big fan of Kobe. However, if you check old Lakers game threads you won't see me in there defending the Lakers and cheering for them because that isn't my team. People in here talk like they are real Miami Heat fans.

    As far as me being a Mavericks fan i have been cheering against the Heat from day one regardless of who they were playing because I don't like that they stand for in sports. The Mavericks just happen to be the team they are playing right now.

    Also the sworn enemies of the Rockets are the Jazz hands down with the old supersonics a close second. We have no rivalry with the Mavs as a team. Blowing the 2-0 series lead against the Mavs is the only significant moment between the two teams and not enough for me to hate them.

    I honestly think it's due to the backlash from the 06 Finals. I see no other logical explanation.

    I think everyone knew Dirk was gonna take the last shot. No way he was getting a decent look.

    they are better than the mavs period. lebron hasn't played well all series except for some stretches in game 1 and they should be up 3-0 right now.

    chicago and boston were tougher opponents.

    I too am really surprised at seeing how many calls Dallas got in their favor tonight. I was like wtf.

    could it be Cuban's doing? Maybe. Dallas couldn't win with all the calls going their way.

    Probably won't happen if Crawford was reffing the game though. Seeing his face is enough to lose my appetite. I wish he'd get violently bent and retire already.

    So that excuses the Rockets getting blown out by 40 in game 7?

    Remember the games prior? The games we could have won? Remember Cuban whining like a little spoiled b**** and getting the referees to turn on Yao? There never should have been a game 7.
