    ...a better team wouldn't be blowing huge leads every game(Miami).

    Of course a better team also wouldn't allow those huge deficits(Dallas)

    Lebron pretty much became a ghost in that game. D-Wade owns that team, he actually played a great game.

    The series could have been over if Erick Spoelstra used LeBron to guard Dirk on the final possession of the two games Dallas has won.

    Oh well, who doesn't want to see a 7 game series?


    He should be used for his defense. Wade can carry the team on offense when he's not missing free throws and losing the ball off his foot. He still played a great game tonight.

    well, miami probably just lost the series tonight.

    they had a 9 point lead and appeared to have taken a little control in the 4th and then as suddenly as the offense looked good, it just went to crap. they have completely reverted to mid-season 4th quarter mode and have no chance without a massive lead and dallas has the mental edge at this point. dirk can apparently just name his total in the 4th quarter (didn't realize he was so terrible overall, 6-19 and 10 free throws to get 21??) and lebron and wade are helpless to run the offense. literally no one makes a shot when they get in these modes, it's unbelievable. i mean bosh has 2 wide open jumpers, can't make it, miller has a drive, can't make it, lebron gets a jumper can't make it, wade gets a 3, can't make it.

    their collapses are almost statistically impossible in terms of how many they can miss in a row, but it happens time and time again. no one can step up and make that one shot to stop it all. felt like a miami loss all night, for one brief moment it looked like they might luck out, then dallas almost let them off the hook with missed open shot after missed open shot but in the end, you get what you deserve. the wade missed free throw was just the icing on the cake (and then dropping the inbound pass was bad).

    up 15 and up 9 in the 4th and you lose. could have swept, now probably lose in 6.

    lebron embarrassing himself out there with 8 points i think and bosh embarrassing himself the entire 2nd half. oh well, it was a nice season i guess.

    If I'm dirk,lebron, or wade why would I even dribble once I'm in the 3-point line and there is less than 2 minutes left? They're not calling anything.

    Miami had several key turnovers and bobbles in the 4th....3 Times Bosh started driving before he caught the ball and Wade did the same thing on the final possession.

    This is a cardinal sin....you NEVER do this, no matter how talented you are. You can move towards the ball before it gets there, but you never move away from the ball.

    Lebron gets more criticism than he deserves but he needs to be called out for being such a passive player when he has guys like Terry and Kidd guarding him. Wade was a one man army out there, he's got to be heated for that incredible effort he gave and got absolutely no help down the stretch. Lebron doesn't want to shoot and Bosh turned into Butter Fingers McGee who couldn't hit a jumpshot

    Good game by Dallas. That was a solid performance. They are really playing great defense on Lebron and that zone they switched to sealed it for them. Props to Dallas.

    This is the Finals. Lebron, as the best player in the NBA, can not have games like this in the Finals. MJ never had a single digit scoring game in all the Finals that he played in. Kobe never had one.

    If James is going to prove he is a champion he has to play better. If he gave Wade any help tonight they would have won.

    Hell ya, **** the heat. Here's hoping Dallas upsets those b****es. Make other superstars think twice before doing the same.
