NBA Finals: Game 3 Heat at Mavericks -- Sponsored by Jacob's Faith

[ploto]

Kidd's pump fake and subsequent jumping directly into an airborne Wade is just as bad, IMO. No excuse for any of it.

Like how Duncan brings his arms up through the defender and gets the call every time??

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

The game is fine. It's not being ruined by this "new era" of floppers.
Flopping is bad for basketballPERIOD

[IronMexican]

Flopping will just get to the point that it's actually punished. At least I hope so.

[bulletedge]

Dallas needs to ride Dirk for all he's worth & he needs to draw fouls on the double team. He needs to live at the foul line the 2nd half.

Look for Dallas to clog the lane since they aren't in foul trouble...yet. I expect Chandler
to pick up a couple of quick ones early in the 3rd.

[davethedope]

fluke 3 by Chalmers + missed FTs is the difference in the game so far..

This and throw in some awful calls. That's why the way the Mavs turn the
ball over, every point counts.

[Cry Havoc]

Like how Duncan brings his arms up through the defender and gets the call every time??

yes, because those are exactly the same thing. :lmao

[LakerHater]

D-whistle.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Flopping will just get to the point that it's actually punished.
Doubtful given how far flopping has gotten in soccer as an effective strategy with no penalty. Having guys who flop is more or less a must in soccer these days.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol NBA awards..Wade not making 1st team:lol..

[ohmwrecker]

Mavs have no answer for Wade. They better hope LeBron gets jealous and tries to take over again.

[jag]

Hockey penalizes flopping. They could give out personal fouls for obvious flops during the game and give out fines for flops discovered after the games.

[bulletedge]

The revered Dean Smith brought two innovations to the game- drawing the charge and the four-corner offense. One was easily eliminated by instituting the shot clock. The other just gets worse every year & nothing can be done as long as the refs continue to call it.

[LakerHater]

Dirk blocked!

[lefty]

Back to square one

[Cry Havoc]

Hockey penalizes flopping. They could give out personal fouls for obvious flops during the game and give out fines for flops discovered after the games.

The NFL's penalty for flops is a 250 lb linebacker catching you in the middle of the field the next time you try a crossing route. Very effective IMO, and the NBA has nothing they can really do to compare.

[Cry Havoc]

How is it that Dallas is such a good team, but they seem to forget how to play NBA basketball for long stretches of time? It's baffling.

[redzero]

Joel Anthony has to concentrate extremely hard before he takes a shot.

[jag]

That zookeeper movie looks like something 90210 would love.

[LakerHater]

8 straight!

[bulletedge]

I know that I'm old but when I played the game, you had to be set in position for one second before you could draw a charge. Now, count "one thousand one" and tell me how many guys are set anywhere close to that? Now the refs let them slide in after the offensive player is already airborne.

[davethedope]

as if Bosh couldn't look anymore retarded

[LakerHater]

Damn, Bosh's eye looks fucked up!

[HarlemHeat37]

Miami has dominated virtually the entire series so far, just don't choke again..keep going to Wade, they have absolutely nobody that has a chance at guarding him..

[100%duncan]

:lol bibby midget

[100%duncan]

w:lolde

[LakerHater]

3 on wade..SHIT!

[jag]

:lmao Wade is such a pussy

[davethedope]

how does wade comit a foul and end up on the floor?

[Isitjustme?]

Ok guys, heres what we're gonna do tonite...Lebron, Dwyane...just pount the rock for 20 seconds, then drive. you'll either score or get 'fouled'. i'll look like a competent coach. /spo

[Cry Havoc]

You don't need to be set for a second. You just have to be set before the offensive player leaves his feet.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

That zookeeper movie looks like something 90210 would love.
:lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

fouls galore

[100%duncan]

barea can't do shit against the heat

[dmavs41]

how does wade comit a foul and end up on the floor?

flop

[Budkin]

WTF is wrong with the Mavs tonight... they are blowing their chance for a title here.

[Ace]

Wade is making niggas mad...

[100%duncan]

kiiidddd

[LakerHater]

Horrible possession by Heat!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dallas playing great defense!

[Mal]

Question to guys in Europe. Do you have fckd up sound ?

[HarlemHeat37]

It would be nice if the refs could give Miami a fair chance, tbh..

I didn't really notice until DPG mentioned it, he's usually on point though, so I started taking notice after he made the original observation..

[dmavs41]

kiddddddddddddddddddddddd

[siraulo23]

dallas responding again
this team never gives up

[bulletedge]

Miami has zero half court offense unless DWade hits a three or he or LeBron draws a foul. Dallas still in the game if they quit giving up dunks on turnovers.

[ohmwrecker]

Miami Choke Machine?

[dmavs41]

DIRK SONNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSss

[Budkin]

Dirk 33333

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dirk!

[siraulo23]

oh my fucking... dirk

[LakerHater]

Wade get in soo easy!

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

OK, I'm done pretending Spoelstra is a good coach.....what the fuck was that play out of a timeout

[Budkin]

Fuckin Kidd TO

[jag]

Wade is making niggas mad...

That nigga has herpes and got carried out on a wheelchair because of a shoulder injury.

Dont think that makes anyone mad. It's just hard not to clown on him

[bulletedge]

You don't need to be set for a second. You just have to be set before the offensive player leaves his feet.

Like I said- I'm old! That's the way we were coached when I played college ball in the mid-seventies. A LOT has changed since then. In my era, the dunk was illegal because the NCAA was trying to legislate against Lew Alcindor- later known as Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

[100%duncan]

wade is the new flop king

[Nick Manning]

Wade owns the Mavs, everybody else on the Heat is afraid of the moment. Just give it to the man and watch him work.

[Bill_Brasky]

Wow you kidding me on that call?

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, bullshit foul calls.

[HarlemHeat37]

Can't breathe on Nowitzki..don't go anywhere near him..

[bulletedge]

Miami finding out about the whistle.

[100%duncan]

chandler!

[100%duncan]

Oh My Dirk!

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao Anthony and Bosh

[Budkin]

Oh shit!!! Dirk!!!

[jag]

Mavs going HAM

[lefty]

Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirk

[HarlemHeat37]

It's amazing how bad Joel Anthony is on offense..he's like a High School player..

[Cry Havoc]

Refs controlling the game right now.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dirk taking over!

[siraulo23]

[LakerHater]

[Budkin]

[ffadicted]

[davethedope]

Gundles and Jacko go silent when Mavs make a run.

[Banzai]

Lol miami

[JamStone]

Great energy and effort by both teams.

Exciting game.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Miami not used to the game being called fairly. LeBron got Dirk right in the face and has the nerve to complain. Psh.

[HarlemHeat37]

Miami needs to overcome the refs, pretty much all they can do, at this point..just like the Chicago series..

[bulletedge]

Oh my- just when the coronation was in full swing!

[frodo]

we only 2pt down NIGGAS

[100%duncan]

[jag]

I like that the refs let them play on that last sequence.

[frodo]

[Nick Manning]

[TDMVPDPOY]

[Nick Manning]

Wade stops another furious Dallas run, playing all by himself out there :lol

[jag]

[Nick Manning]

Wade finally getting some help from Robin

[100%duncan]

[Budkin]

Horrible defense.

[frodo]

dirk needs some rest imho the 4th qtr be da true fight imho

[dmavs41]

[Libri]

[LakerHater]

Jus like that Miami takes the lead back!!

[siraulo23]

[davethedope]

Listen, I guess that's just how they're directed. When heat do good Jacko

[frodo]

bron only be bron in game 1 the whole series imho, other games he just be an average playa

[Danny.Zhu]

terry lost his man again...

[bulletedge]

Thank god LeBron made that 3 cuz he'll keep shooting it.

[Capt Bringdown]

[frodo]

Chalmers da NIGGA need someone to sap him down imo

[jag]

Mario Chalmers getting his Eddie House on.

[lefty]

lol Mahinmi :lmao

[TDMVPDPOY]

mahinmi is a fkn scrub hahahaha 4fouls in 6mins

[dmavs41]

lol juwan howard

[100%duncan]

[Budkin]

WTF that wasn't in the act.

[siraulo23]

what the hell was terry doing there, marion couldnt be more open

[frodo]

just keep track wit dem imo, dirk will close up the whole thing in the 4th

[bulletedge]

Eric Spoelstra looks like exactly what he is- a video coordinator

[Budkin]

Ian with FTs!

[LakerHater]

Get outta here Dirk..... selling the foul!

[bulletedge]

Dirk with the D-whistle sales job!

[Nick Manning]

mahinmi shoots better ft's than Bron :lol

[dmavs41]

chalmers is doin work o shiet

[Budkin]

Cmon Mavs.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao the ol' Marion 3 pointer

[Budkin]

Matrix gotta hit that.

[jag]

Shawn spotting up in the corner.

Do not want

[baseline bum]

Marion should never shoot a three with more than 2 seconds left on the clock.

[redzero]

Dirk sold that like Wade.

[TampaDude]

JET should've taken that shot.

Still anyone's game.

[baseline bum]

Matrix gotta hit that.

He hasn't hit a three in the playoffs and is shooting 15% for the season. Mahinmi's probably a better bet to hit the open three.

[ballhog]

Dallas got em right where they want em

[florige]

I am kinda worried that LeCrab James might had just been coasting and now is gonna play insane in the 4th. He hasn't been really aggressive driving the ball since the 1st qtr.

[Nick Manning]

methinks Miami holds on for this one...no way LBJ continues his vaginal brand of ball all finals...

[bulletedge]

Marion only made threes AGAINST Dallas when he was playing for the Suns.

[florige]

chalmers is doin work o shiet



I hate that jerkoff Chalmers. Dude just annoys me,

[LakerHater]

AWESOME steal James!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Doris Burke's eyewear is hideous, tbh..at least it takes attention away from other parts of her face, I suppose..

[TampaDude]

Too easy for LeBron there.

[Budkin]

The TOs are just killing them.

[resistanze]

LOL who spilled that shit

[Budkin]

Lopez haha.

[AnthonyM]

Is it just me or is it taking entirely too long to clean up this spill?

[redzero]

methinks Miami holds on for this one...no way LBJ continues his vaginal brand of ball all finals...

LeBron has been driving tonight. Hopefully, he doesn't go full retard and start chucking 3's.

[TampaDude]

LOL Dallas pulling an OKC with the extended cleanup.

[InRareForm]

hahah lebron lounging

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf are the guys with the mops....fkn mav cheapskates

[Budkin]

There's LeBron's number one fan!

[Libri]

WTF?! Taking to long.

[jag]

Troy Aikmen looks like he just smoked a bowl. Why are his eyes all bloodshot?

[Budkin]

Midget 33333

[LakerHater]

Stupid Chamlers, Why are you leavin your man!?

[resistanze]

Mahinmi :lol

[TampaDude]

LOL Mahinmi the expendable...

[InRareForm]

Mahinmi "the human foul machine"

[TDMVPDPOY]

mahinmi is a bonaa fide foul magnet scrub

[Bill_Brasky]

:lmao Ian Mahinmi is about to foul out with less than ten minutes on the court.

[HarlemHeat37]

Chalmers scared of Terry driving:lol..idiot..

[siraulo23]

jj barea who hates mavs fan in spurstalk hits a three

[Nick Manning]

This game is quality...so far.


Bosh is a twatwaffle, such a dissapointment this series.

[Budkin]

:lmao Ian setting records.

[Cry Havoc]

There's LeBron's number one fan!

Yeah, it's so stupid of him to like watching the best player in the league since MJ.

[ffadicted]

lmao Ian

[siraulo23]

mahinmi about to set a record lol

[LakerHater]

Ian is a fouling machine!

[Cry Havoc]

Whistles on every play for Dallas now. Crazy.

[LakerHater]

Here come the Dallas whistles!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

Chalmers' D is terrible right now, he's leaving everybody open..get Wade back in..

[Budkin]

Cmon Mavs... take the lead.

[TDMVPDPOY]

[TampaDude]

[dmavs41]

dirks shot is sooooo weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet OMG

[HarlemHeat37]

What kind of defense is this?..Chalmers, now Haslem..these guys are overhelping the drive, Dallas is a jump shooting team, obviously, none of them can drive consistently..

[Libri]

Ha, Miami forgot to guard Dirk.

[jag]

Master race, tbh

[resistanze]

Chalmers flopping over Barea?

[TampaDude]

Boxing robots.. Really?

Boxing. Robots.

[DPG21920]

Really over the top reaction from Crawfords crews since Cuban complained.

[Nick Manning]

Wade and Bron just need to go kamikaze to the basket for the rest of the quarter...can't lose that way imo

[ballhog]

C'mon Barea. Gotta hit that.

[Libri]

Robot Rocky hahahha

[Nick Manning]

Did James really make a face after that travel call? :lmao

[jag]

Crab run

[ballhog]

LeBron about 4 steps

[100%duncan]

[LakerHater]

If that was Dirk it waould been a foul not a travel!!

[Nick Manning]

Haslem with a huge shot

Chalmer Finals MVP

[LakerHater]

[IronMexican]

Dallas always gets right there and can't grab a hold of the lead.

[ballhog]

Fucking Chalmers is unconscious.....

[IronMexican]

Wish this game was a 20 point blowout. Really need to shave and go to bed.

[Budkin]

The Mavs have had the lead for like 15 seconds.

[lefty]

JET retard

[TampaDude]

Note to Mavs...STOP JACKING UP THREES!!!

[Nick Manning]

Fucking Chalmers is unconscious.....

hitting wide-open shots is a gift

[Mr. Body]

Are people still happy we took George Hill instead of Mario Chalmers?

[bulletedge]

Dallas needs a run- and needs to take care of the f'ing ball!

[HarlemHeat37]

Wish this game was a 20 point blowout. Really need to shave and go to bed.

What kind of style are you going for, tbh?..I'd like to see you with a full beard..

[Nick Manning]

Wish this game was a 20 point blowout. Really need to shave and go to bed.

you're supposed to shave in the morning, homes.

[ohmwrecker]

Are people still happy we took George Hill instead of Mario Chalmers?

Yes. Chalmers will go back to shooting airballs soon.

[IronMexican]

What kind of style are you going for, tbh?..I'd like to see you with a full beard..

Sounds ugly. I wish my mustache and goatee connected. They never do. I'd look so awesome if so.

[siraulo23]

dallas shot way too many threes in that stretch, but all of em were good looks except for that terry 3

[bulletedge]

Chalmers = 2011 version of Steve Kerr

[LakerHater]

stupid foul!

[AnthonyM]

Wtf is up with all these loose ball fouls? Let them be fucking aggressive going for a rebound...

[redzero]

LeBron is finding the open man this quarter.
