Lebron will continue to chuck up BRICKS from outside the perimeter and the Mavs will get their first championship. Man, James looks sooooo over rated in these finals.
Sort memory? You forget the Bulls and Celtics? The Heat are at home now, and have a good chance to win it all, will come down to a game 7.
I picked the Heat in six games, so I'm already wrong and admit that readily. I still think the Heat have a 50% shot at taking the series (how bold, B-Bob, I know.) Here's where I disagree with most people: I don't think if it goes seven that it's automatically a Heat win. Lebron's funny mental stuff could really bite the Heat in a game seven, as well as it's just one more game for the Mavs to outcoach Spo (and I do mean the whole Mavs staff, which I think is a little smarter.) I think the longer the series, the more important the coaching adjustments. We've already seen that to an extent, in the last two games.
Watch the fourth quarter of that Celtic game (specifically the final 2 minutes). AND THEN TRY TO TELL ME WITH A STRAIGHT FACE THAT HE DIDN'T QUIT. Don't get me wrong, Boston played great but the Cavs didn't even try to win. It was a joke.
When you are supposed to be the best player in the game, you are supposed to take over. Deferring to teammates is the opposite of taking over in the fourth. Fourth quarters is what separates the allstars from the superstars, and so far through LBJ's career, he has not been a superstar (and a couple of games against Chicago/Boston this year does not change his entire career)
Nobody is saying Lebron is not great. but the MJ/Magic talk needs to shut up forever. It does not matter how well Lebron plays in games 6 or 7. If he comes back great, he's a great player. just not a MJ/Magic player. and from what i hear, he does not care to be one of those. He already blew that with coming to Miami. but good for him.
Here's game 5 of that series -- I had forgotten how surreal it is. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4d-Mnfz6iB0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is gonna be an epic game, All stars are going to play at maximum basketball powah. Go Mavs and Heat, the only way you can beat each other in this game is to play 1000% much better.
If Lebron doesn't go into "Lebron at his best" mode, I'll be very disappointed. He doesn't need to try to be MJ. He needs to be the guy that beat the Celtics and Bulls.
he needs to do it in BOTH games. losing this series will severely tarnish his legacy, even if he ends up winning 5-6 rings. hopefully his jumper shows up for a 2-game stretch.
