I find it crazy that Wade was the best player on the court (allegedly) who had the 2nd best player on the court ON HIS TEAM in Lebron and STILL couldn't beat a team with only ONE superstar that was also sick. But yeah MIAMI BANDWAGON GO GO GO !!!!
The same can be said for Dallas...they haven't played consistently well from start to finish. Dirk has been the consistent one and once the rest of team does the same, watch out...If they played the way they're suppose to play, not being sick or playing with a torn tendon, then Dallas would be up 3-1
Absolutely. I'm no Dallas homer - I said before the series I was afraid that the Heat were a bad matchup for them, particularly on defense, and I picked Miami to win. But the thing is, with the exception of the first half of Game 3, Dallas' defense has been pretty damn good. Offensively, they're missing a LOT of really open looks that they made against LA and OKC. They were also dealing with a sick Dirk in Game 4. There's potential for LeBron to play better, sure... but there's also potential for a few more Dallas threes to go down and the likes of JJ Barea to actually finish around the basket. People seem to just be looking at one side of the equation.
The Heat will win the next game, as Lebron James will came back strong, as there is no way, he will not be fired up. He lost the game for them, and Im sure he knows it. Wade and Haslem I'm sure will be getting right into him as we speak.
I think that fans of lebron want him to win a championship more than he does himself, and that is truly disturbing, I dont know if I continue to root for that........
I was referring to last night. Dirk scored 21 pts on 19 shots. Wade was a beast. His blocks were as beastly as they come too
I just want to see good basketball. I think LeBron, Wade, and Dirk are all a joy to watch. If all was "fair", Dirk winning would be nice since this is likely his last shot (and it's a given Miami will win many titles IMO).
Wade has been the best player in this series followed closely by Dirk. You can't go wrong with either one.
I think Dirk has been better than Wade when you consider the coverage he's been getting. LeBron has been the focus of the defense so Wade has had some open lanes. Dirk is just making crazy shots over all kinds of defenses pushing him out.
If the finals ended today, wade would be the mvp. To me he has outplayed dirk. Not by mutch, but still. But we all know the mvp is either wade or dirk depending on whos getting the ring. Even if i dont like the heat, i think they will be nba champions, so its probably wade.
We don't know that. If Lebron has back to back 50 point games to close out the Mavs, of course he'll get the MVP. Kareem had the MVP locked in '80 until he got injured and then rookie Magic got it because he had one (amazing) game to close out the Sixers.
Spoiler <iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0Cbt2UXgB2M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> LeBron's a guy who responds well to criticism, but sulking time is over. Whatever the mental block is that's suppressing him from doing anything of note in the 4th, he better get over it in a hurry. Or else. Honestly, I'm simply resigned to the fact that whenever the teams he's played on have come up short, whether it's Cleveland or Miami, it will never be LeBron's fault. Never. And apparently, the Heat were quite tardy to their media hours. And Ric Bucher, among others, was less than amused by this. Ric Bucher: "Heat 20 minutes late and counting for their media availability. Short of bus breakdown, strong scent of Pat Riley wagon-circling maneuver." "NBA fined Jordan $25K, I believe, for blowing off one of these. Just imagining the price for an entire team no-show." Howard Beck: "Spoelstra, Wade and James were supposed to have talked to media in last 20 mins. No sign of them. NBA has lost control of the Heat." And Dirk's over his fever. Brendan Haywood is still day-to-day with the hip flexor, but Shawn Marion picked up a "minor" calf strain which forced him to sit out the 4th in Game 4.
