    seriously? how much more evidence is needed. once is a fluke, twice is a trend, three times is evidence. and really we're up to 4 occurrences. the mavs trail in the 4th and just go on unbelievable runs every single time. the heat's defense suddenly completely breaks down (dirk didn't get to the basket basically all night but he got a dunk late on a bad defensive play), and they can't find anyone who can make a shot, whether lebron is shooting or not. it's incredible.

    the heat aren't built to take the pressure of this game 6 coming up.

    Dirk won't get every little call in Miami.

    Wade's "injury" will be a point of emphasis now I suppose.

    Wade is the best player on the court, bar none.

    Lebron has been dragging him down.

    Jon Barry was right, Dallas hadn't really been hitting anything until tonight.

    it will go 7. refs will favor miami in game 6. in all 3 games in dallas, dallas has more fouls call FOR them.

    tonight, miami 26 fouls called against; dallas only 20.

    refs favoring miami = will stop them from choking leads.

    If he actually plays aggressive and attacks he will get FTs. He's been taking 25 foot jumpers and passing the ball like it's a hot patato. It's hard to get FTs playing like that.

    Tremendous efforts from both teams, for a moment i thought Dallas would throw it away when Miami went up by 4, but you have to give them great credit for being clutch.

    Now it all goes back to Miami and home court will give the Heat a boost. It's gonna be way tougher on the Mavs for this last 2 road games and the Miami trio will surely try to elevate their game like its now or never.

    It wasn't amazing. When Wade hit the 3, I expected it. The Mavs didn't have a proper sense of urgency with the lead. But a 4-point deficit instantly cured the problem.

    the times he does drive, he doesn't get a call. and with dallas triple teaming everytime he sets foot within the 3pt line, what do you expect him to do?

    dirk gets touched = foul.

    that charging call against him basically exemplifies the series for him in terms of getting calls.

    but again, he seriously needs to start making his jumpshot. it's broke like it's 2007.

    Average players typically score 2 points in the 4th Q.

    *Those two points came with :29 seconds left

    Um yeah. I guess you forgot the biggest and most incredible choke job of the series happened in Miami (game 2).

    The Heat really have maybe 4 or 5 offensive sets I think.

    Spoelstra really doesn't know what the **** he's doing. They completely fold down the stretch.

    This is why LeBron should never be referred to as one of the greatest in scoring. LeBron has 40 pounds on top of a 4" height advantage over Kidd. Dominant scorers such as Jordan, Kobe, and even T-Mac in his hay-day would be all over this match up.
