... Game?

Wasn't a problem against Chicago, who's got maybe the bulkiest frontline in basketball.

Wow, there is no hope. Wait, I already said that...

GET A REBOUND YOU f***ING IMBECILES.

God f***ing Chalmers can take absolutely any positive situation and turn it into a complete clusterf***.

No. They're through. Dallas is pooping on them, Miami has completely checked out. And as I say that...

This has to be the most surprising title winner in a long time. Probably since Detroit in 2004, and that was achieved with the help of a big trade mid-season.

Miami folds again. They're done. Pat Riley would be completely justified in taking over for Spoelstra, after these showings.

The two of us would be a better PG rotation.

Dallas up nine going into the fourth. They HAVE to close this tonight. If Miami comes back and takes it, I guarantee the energy from being granted new life will carry over to game 7 and get them a win. We've seen it happen enough times before (in playoff series, not necessarily finals).

I will never know why Mario Chalmers continues to get minutes.

Heat down by two by half... I think they'll take it, despite Dirk's incompetence.

Jeez, Dallas is ahead by 2, Terry has 17, yet Dirk is 1-for-9. Hope the Heat really have their s*** together by the time he wakes up.

LOL at the Heat fans' eruption about Stevenson's technical.

At the risk of jinxing it, the Heat appeared to have pulled their head out of ass.

THERE it is.

Dude, every single last big-market fanbase is littered with biased, insufferable f***tards. You only ever notice it when their team is among the best in the NBA. The arrogant Bulls and Heat dipshits surfaced this year. Once the Lakers and Celtics completely fade off the table, all complaints about their fanbases will vanish with them, until their next reign. If/when the 76ers, Knicks, and Blazers return to the NBA's elite, everyone will suddenly realize just how insufferable THOSE fanbases are. Miami's fanbase is no worse than any other. Actually the token Boston and New York fans are much worse.

Unbelievable. They're laying down in their elimination game. Turn it over, then give absolutely no effort on the transition defense. Mavs fans must be more amused than thrilled at this point.

He had a triple-double, you dunce.

1. I never used the phrase laying down, I don't know why you're quoting it. Clearly you struggle with that concept. 2. I didn't call anyone a pussy. Therefore I'm not a hypocrite. Also insulting a player's manhood (calling him a pussy), and saying that a team is mailing in their fourth quarters aren't the same thing. You fail. Again. 3. If you've actually watched the games, there is no way you can argue that Miami isn't easing up on the gas, for whatever reason. Maybe they're too confident in their ability to flip the switch. They become sluggish on offense (again partially due to double teams, and the role players not making Dallas pay), and their defensive rotations are late. Tonight in particular. Yeah, they are getting outplayed. But getting outplayed in 3 given quarters out of 20 doesn't automatically make you the worse team. 4. The Heat are the better team. Better players, better defense. Every game Dallas wins in this series is the result of what Miami is not doing, not vice-versa. Anyone who says otherwise either hasn't watched the games or doesn't know dick about basketball (but what shock is that?). 5. Keeper will be here soon agreeing with everything you say, that alone ought to show just how wrong you are. 6. You're an idiot.

Pretty much. They did what they've been doing late in games, settling for jump shots (partly due to the stars being doubled and the role players being brain dead) and being lazy on defense. I wonder if they think that game 2 vacation is worth it yet.

What credit does Dallas really deserve, aside from capitalizing on the opportunities Miami lays out in front of them in every fourth quarter? The Heat have the two best players in the series. The Heat have the better defense. Those two facts alone make it that the Heat are the better team.
