    Man, Bosh is a stinkin pile of trash. Good thing he hit that game winner.

    LeBron played like he didn't want to be judged all game. Didn't want to have the pressure of the possibility that him missing the big shots so he passed to Wade.

    Wade was awesome... wonder if he could win the MVP.

    This series is over folks.

    While this was far from the best officiated game, rereading the hyperbolic complaints here made me glad I switched over to the ESPN's DDL Chat for the 2nd half... where the comments arent exclusively whining and complaining about the calls and in the process not missing out on all the huge shots, plays Wade and Dirk made down the stretch.

    Wade may have started the 2nd halff kinda slow, but boy did he make up for it down the stretch. That huge three, that dribble, dribble pull up on Jason kid from 18 ft, Damn, did that guy close or did he close. And what can you say about Dirk, its crazy how hes consistently performed in the 4th quarter during these playoffs. The three, the drive, the fade away... pulling and then keeping his team close, almost by himself down the stretch. Unfortunately as great as he is, Dirk also made three costly mistake in the final minutes, 1; passing off to Terry (who missed the three) with the game tied in the final minutes 2; making the bad pass to noone on the wing with 30 seconds left down by two and lastly 3; not getting to a better position/spot to take that last fadeaway and missing. (ok not really a mistake, but whenever he misses a shot this postseason, it seems like a mistake lol).

    Refs aside, another great game in a postseason filled with em... I just hope we get 4 more!!

    note: I was just thinking, imagining if Wade and Dirk were on the same team! Aside from Dhoward and CP3, I cant think of any better fit in terms of talent and personality. Dirks seemingly scores with only the barest of touches, kills from the outside, kills from the mid-range, can post, can board and isnt overly emotional or covets the spotlight, while Wade is still one of the best dribble penetrator, driver, finisher, playmaker and ball handler. His fiery persona, attention grabbing style and passion would also be a perfect complement to Dirk's.

    I like Kobe but I would never take it to the point where I thought anybody on a Rockets forum cheering against them was a troll. People here act like they are real Heat fans not just fans of Lebron/Wade.

    He played on a scrub Toronto team and his numbers were inflated.

    Plus, the Mavericks have beaten us a ridiculous amount of times in the regular season over the past several years. Hate.Dallas.Dot.Com.

    I'm really not a fan of Barea's game. His speed is definitely a weapon, but if you can neutralize that, his outside shooting and his passing is subpar. The Mavs' offense does not look fluid when he's in there.

    Plus, his defense vs. Chalmers has to be a lot better.

    To be fair, it's easier to stop Nowitzki when there's 4.4 seconds left instead of dealing with him for pretty much a full shot clock.

    Take Bosh out of T.Mcgrady's argument and he is still right. Two (former and still capable) MVPs joining up is pathetic no matter how you slice it.

    I can't name another time 3 top 10 free agents have done this because it's rare for 3 top 10 free agents to be available at the same time AND have a team with the cap space to sign all 3 (that they would want to go to) AND all 3 guys are willing to put their ego and significant $$ to the side to play together. Now if you can name me multiple situations where this scenario has been possible then we can go from there. I can only think of one, and that's when the Magic almost signed Duncan, Hill and T-Mac. And even that situation isn't completely comparable because Duncan was winning titles in SA already.

    Oh, and can we please stop calling Chris Bosh a top 10 player? He isn't. If we are going to whine about this let's at least make proper comparisons.

    Now, in 1983, the Celtics traded for Dennis Johnson. He was 29 at the time and made the All-NBA All D team the year before. He had already led his team to back-to-back Finals and 1 title (Finals MVP). So that gave them a core of 4 HOF players, all in their prime:

    DJ - 29
    Bird - 27
    Parish - 30
    McHale - 26

    Oh, they just happened to win the title and go to 4 Finals in a row. If that's ok, then this is ok. Let it go....

    i can't comment for those "trolls" but i like the heat. i don't own a lebron james jersey. i don't like his shoes. i admit i bought jordan alpha 1's last year because wade wore them and he was my favorite shooting guard but im sure people here don't have maimi heat fan gear plastered throughout their home.....at least i hope not

    we know octinavius does tho LMAO

    Haslem on Nowitzki instead of Bosh at the end - Juuuust enough difference. Though Dirk was torching Haslem and Bosh equally before that.

    And the ball in D Wade's hands at the end instead of Lebron.

    Yes, it's pathetic when people want to win :rolleyes:

    We should encourage everyone to stay on scrub teams and get big pay checks instead.
