    What a Game 7 after a huge slump! 3 pointers! Gorgeous pass to Wade for points 89 and 90! Nice defense on Duncan on would-be game tying shot with less than 50 seconds to go! Key play after key play!

    He just has that Robert Horry gene. One cannot teach that. Congrats to Shane, and the Heat are lucky to have him!

    **** Battier. He got hot in a big game. Good for him. I hope he keeps playing so we can watch him further regress into a shell of the shell of a player he used to be.

    Juwan Howard is also a true champion and a legend. I hope he retires a Rocket.

    Hated Battier as a Grizzly... he look OK as a Rocket... hate him again as a Heat.

    But he out-ringed MerGady.

    Battier played his butt off when he was here I'm not quite sure why people dislike him so much.

    I'm very happy for Battier, especially since he got to play a big role in the win.

    seems odd to say 2-2 in NBA Finals, when talking about Basketball. In Baseball, that's fine, but I think the stand is W-L, so Battier is 2-0, LeBron is 2-2, Jordan is 6-0, etc.

    He's changed since he was with the Rockets so that's why I don't like him anymore. He's become really sneaky, flopping way worse than with us and a bit arrogant.

    Ummm... he didn't change. Your perception of him changed when you took off the homer glasses.
