Damn, 2-0 vs. 1-1 makes a huge difference. Nice choke Miami.

[Divinity]

Yeah I felt like tonight was a must win for for the Mav's, series could go ether way now.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Now 3 straight at Dallas. Not good for Miami.

[Emmz]

I really just don't like Heat fans, I've always had respect for the Mavs, so this is good news for me.

[Keeper]

Yeah, suck on that, Heat!

[redsoxrules]

Awesome win for the Mavs.

 

Dirk was on the money with the game on the line

Every single time you post, I feel like clubbing baby seals.

 

Loss hurts in the meantime, but no way in hell Dallas takes all three at home. I'd actually be surprised if they grabbed two.

[Keeper]

GFY you emo loser. You are clearly trying to stir up s***.

You're not giving Dallas a lot of credit .

 

Dallas is better than you think and they havent even played their best or even close to it .

Emo loser? I'm sorry, which one of us has an obsessive hard-on for some guy who doesn't even know we exist, just because we're butthurt he didn't come to our city? Hint: it's not me.

And you think folding in game 2 was Miami's best? The Heat have the better defense. Oh yeah, they also have two superstars, both of which are better than Dirk. They're simply the better team. The only ones who can beat them are themselves. I've been saying it since February.

[Emmz]

Three superstars, and two of which are elites. I agree that the Heat got the advantage against mostly every team, but Dallas is probably the best bet of all of the teams that made the playoffs to beat them. I think the only team the Heat might have trouble with was the Celtics before they gave Perkins up for some guy who comes of the bench.

[snydersminipretzels]

Perkins was useless for OKC, but his departure definitely disrupted team chemistry. Don't know if that would have tipped the series in Boston's favor.

[Emmz]

Well he was a great defender, and a huge part of why the Celtics have been known for their defense over the past four seasons. I don't know how it would have played out in the playoffs, no one does, it's the playoffs. You can destroy teams during the regular season twice, then get swept by them in the playoffs.

He probably was hurt, but he was really awful with the Thunder. They used Nazr Mohammed over him.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

^I'd find that funny if we hadn't gotten someone completely useless in return.

Miami would have struggled against LA's size. When it comes to defending the perimeter, Miami is the best in the league, but because of their lack of size their interior defense isn't nearly as strong.

[Keeper]

So, where does Dwight Howard end up in the offseason? It seems like the Bulls and Celtics are both in on him. I know I would trade Noah and Deng for Howard in a heartbeat. I would prefer to keep Deng over Boozer because Gibson can adequately fill Boozer's shoes, but Boozer's contract is a dealbreaker for most teams. Then again, so was Deng's before this season, but he had an All Star-worthy year.

[Flynnatic10]

I think he either stays with the Magic or goes to the NETS for Lopez, Humphries and cap fillers and picks.

[Emmz]

I hope to God the Celtics go all in except for Rondo for him, I hope they're willing to give whatever it takes, I'm just not sure that's enough, though. They don't have stuff to trade anymore, but I can dream. Howard with Rondo would be so awesome, assuming they have a proper supporting cast.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Celtics will never get him via trade. No assets.

 

The sooner we clear the decks and the rebuild the team, the better. And by rebuild I mean stockpile immediate assets to trade for a star.

 

If we're talking trade, the Lakers probably have a good shot (they don't have a chance if it goes to free agency though). I don't know who the Magic could expect to get that's better than Andrew Bynum. He beats the hell out of Joakim Noah. Jim Buss is an egotistical dipshit though, no way he trades his guy.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Good game.

[Divinity]

crazy how close these games have been, Heat take the lead 2-1

[Jasonbay44]

Assuming the Heat win this series, Lebron may be getting his first ring, but Wade has to be the finals MVP.

[Jasonbay44]

Mavs win, series tied up 2-2

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Love the nail biting finishes.

[Cocos Disciples]

This is an absolutely fantastic Finals. I'm a moderate NBA fan, and usually the only appointment games for me are Celtics playoff games. But I have made a point to watch all of these games, and they have been great.

[redsoxrules]

Dallas evens out the series 2-2 ... oh wait I mean Miami beat themselves to make the series 2-2.
