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

[Xanax Bottle]

Since the 2-3-2 format whenever the first two are split the winner of Game 3 has always won the series.

Let's see if that trend continues! :lobt2:

You got no room, spurfan has a heart attack every time they see a picture of Joey Crawford.

[DPG21920]

Not when they are winning and the ref completely reverses the trend by giving the team a 2-0 record this playoff :lol

[ALVAREZ6]

[badfish22]

Not when they are winning and the ref completely reverses the trend by giving the team a 2-0 record this playoff :lol

The whining has stopped (except for Ghaz who made that thread just to mess with you).

[DPG21920]

No, it hasn't.

[badfish22]

Sounds like Haywood is gonna be out tonight, that could be big. Ty's gonna have to stay out of foul trouble but that hasn't been easy for him so far. Could there be an Ian sighting tonight?

[DPG21920]

Ian, while foul prone, has been somewhat productive, but you can't trust him in a moment like this. Haywood had been giving some solid minutes, but it won't come down to him. It will come down to whether or not Lebron is one of the true greats. If he is, there's nothing anyone can do about it. If he isn't, Dallas has got this.

[ohmwrecker]

Spurfan no longer sweats Joe Crawford since Stern assfucked him.

[badfish22]

Ian, while foul prone, has been somewhat productive, but you can't trust him in a moment like this.

I'd rather have him out there than play small ball, which hasn't been effective at all.

I'm also interested to see if Carlisle plays Peja tonight. He was pulled from the second half in game 2, and has really been exposed on defense this series. I don't know if we can afford to have him on the court.

[redzero]

If Peja isn't hitting his shots, he is useless. 3's and a steal every once in a while are the only things he is good for.

He's still better than Belinelli though.

[DPG21920]

You can't play Peja IMO. Hell, it's hard to even play Terry when Wade is on the floor. I agree small ball isn't great, but you have to go with guys who you can trust and that you know can at least do something reliably.

[Kyle Orton]

Brian Findog Cardinal might get some minutes tbh

[Tp9gospursgo]

Mavs ftw!

[badfish22]

Per Twitter: Haywood is out and Roddy is active :lol

[DPG21920]

Roddy! My goodness, Dallas is all in!

[DeadlyDynasty]

I can't remember the last time I've been more excited for a game (save for Game 7 last year).

This is the first time I can remember having no conceivable idea as to to what the outcome will be in a game. I wouldn't bet $1 on this game, either way.

Hope it's a classic like Game 2.

[badfish22]

I'm sure the Heats scouting department is scrambling as we speak

[pass1st]

Heat are more likely to implode because of their collective ego, so winner of the next has a good chance of winning it all.

Lol @ that Bachelorette teaser

[Chachachango]

lol old ace ventura

[lefty]

This time no commercial break between both team's intros

Did people complain or what?

[davethedope]

If Mavs win Dirk layup will become a part of the Finals opening montage

[TE]

lol starting off with a Kidd post-up

[lefty]

Lol kidd

[InRareForm]

Kidd making up for last game

[Chachachango]

Tyson has no hands.

[Kyle Orton]

:lmao nice post up Chrissy

[lefty]

Bosh!!!!

[Axe Murderer]

cccrrrroooooffffflllllll Bosh

[Chachachango]

What a puss bosh is.

[lefty]

Wade is in God mode

[picc84]

Looked like that nigga was cryin.

[TE]

Bosh is such a pussy. WTF?

[dmavs41]

Wtf was that

[bulletedge]

Oh no! More phantom eye injuries for the Heat! Can they power through so much adversity?????

[BRHornet45]

lmao Bosh doing the raptor face while on the ground. he didn't even get touched in the face. what a choking vagina that bitch boy is.

[InRareForm]

PHANTOM INJURY hahahah

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

quick.. where is that bosh flop against boozer...

[frodo]

peja & JJB all be double-edged swords imho, but in this series however, they've been hurting their own team more. heat's D be too aggressive for those soft lil nigs imho. peja gets curbstomped on both ends of floor, JJB keeps casting the damn ball and missing the target. should give more minutes to those true NIGGAS like brewer, stevenson etc...

[BoricuaCJA]

I could not tell AT ALL what happened to Bosh. Mavs are on fire and Wade is in God mode.

[BRHornet45]

anyone who doubts that Wade is the true team leader of Miami is a fucking moron. when healthy he is hands down the best player in the game.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Maybe Bosh can borrow Wade's wheelchair.

[redzero]

The Mavs are lucky he didn't leave in a wheelchair, because of he came back and played, that would be an automatic win for the Heat.

[lefty]

Karma for Wade grabbing his eye

[Chachachango]

Put Ian Mahinmnini

[lefty]

Peja


Lol

[redzero]

Joel Anthony makes Tyson Chandler look like Hakeem around the basket.

[Chachachango]

i hope Dallas makes thirty three pointers this game.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

crofl peja defense

[picc84]

Peja on Bosh? Really?

[lefty]

DiplOdaucus!!!!!

[frodo]

small ball would be THEIR favorite imho. dem nigs can be real quick playing such style it wouldn't take long to tire out our old legs imho. imho the mavs-heat series pretty much resembles the 04' olympic games, dem nigs have superior talents obviously but the mavs with better chemistry will eventually win it all i believe.

[Banzai]

Boshs eye looks fucked up.

[ogait]

Haywood injury it's a one game thing?

[lefty]

Carlisle WTF

[Kyle Orton]

Joel Anthony makes Tyson Chandler look like Hakeem around the basket.

Anthony has some of the worst hands I've ever seen.

[frodo]

haywood just be a bitch the other night, nigga quited dat match seeing his team losing, dat contract whore

[InRareForm]

Miami's points in the paint

[Bill_Brasky]

Bosh's eye looked nasty up close lol

Damn the Heat are getting no calls right now.

[Banzai]

Lol dallas

[lefty]

This game is really gay

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

whats wrong w brenda?

[Kyle Orton]

The Mavs are lucky he didn't leave in a wheelchair, because of he came back and played, that would be an automatic win for the Heat.

I'm still waiting for a Lakers fan to explain that logic

[IronMexican]

It's like Peja's sole purpose out there is to help Dallas lose. He's probably the worst player on either side to get minutes.

[lefty]

Wade held Tyson's foot



Faggot

[bulletedge]

Kidd needs to quit turning it over with trying to thread ridiculous interior bounce passes. TOs are killing Dallas.

[Chachachango]

Aw, pobrecito Dirk

[lefty]

Howard?

[frodo]

get the NIGGAS in

[Kyle Orton]

They're gonna go nuts upstairs if Mahinmi has a good game

[benefactor]

Ian drawing the charge.

[ogait]

Ian just glad they didn't call a foul on him.

[benefactor]

They're gonna go nuts upstairs if Mahinmi has a good game
There will be 10000000000000000000000000000000 gnsf threads about how stupid it was to let him go.

[Bill_Brasky]

lol Ian getting the call

[Kyle Orton]

There will be 10000000000000000000000000000000 gnsf threads about how stupid it was to let him go.

Plus the Fabbs will have another 5-10 fire Pop threads

[Chachachango]

LOl mahinmnini dunked on/

[pass1st]

Looks like Dallas is even on the box. If Dirk steps it up this game, should be a Dallas win.

[Bill_Brasky]

God damn, Mahinmi got YAMMED ON.

[Cry Havoc]

JVG should apply for a job with the Heat calling play-by-play for their games next year.

[lefty]

Too bad JJ missedthat, it was a nice move

[davethedope]

It's starting to look like awful play is a part of the Dallas game plan

[Chachachango]

Phhhhhhhhhhhhh SHnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnapppp

[lefty]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

[Cry Havoc]

HOLY SHIT CHALMERS.

Dallas in trouble early... defensive breakdowns.

[Banzai]

Game over dallas

[InRareForm]

woow lol

[IronMexican]

Barea killing it for Dallas.

[redzero]

Wade and LeBron are going to have a hell of a lot of highlights after this series is over.

[Chachachango]

yep, game looks over

[bulletedge]

I think the Heat can start celebrating again- game over.

[Bill_Brasky]

When Wade and Bron go into drive mode, they are near impossible to stop......

[Jelloisjigglin]

Barea killing it for Miami


fixed

[lefty]

Wade and LeBron are going to have a hell of a lot of highlights after this series is over.
:lmao at your sig

[TE]

Mavs not getting anything going to the rim. Just a bunch of jumpshots.

Heat on the other hand are getting to the rim and finishing.

[IronMexican]

fixed

"Killing it" has multiple meanings. Should have used some otha wurdz.

[lefty]

Damn

Planet of the Apes prequel looks awesome

[JamStone]

Don't think they can review it since it wasn't it called, but was Haslem completely over halfcourt and Chalmers not yet established in the front court? Looked like it possibly could have been a back court violation. Anyone else think that?

[redzero]

Shit, it's only the first quarter of game 3, and this series is already more entertaining than last year's Finals.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Don't think they can review it since it wasn't it called, but was Haslem completely over halfcourt and Chalmers not yet established in the front court? Looked like it possibly could have been a back court violation. Anyone else think that?
I did, but I didn't know the rule was Chalmers had to be established beyond halfcourt. I figured if he caught it in midair he just had to land in the frontcourt.

[Cry Havoc]

Barea is horrible.

[TE]

Chalmers is pushing the Mavs shit in.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Idk why Bibby starts over Chalmers...

[Jelloisjigglin]

"Killing it" has multiple meanings. Should have used some otha wurdz.


The little goblin is killing it again.....lol

[IronMexican]

Game over.

[Cry Havoc]

Dallas can't afford to get fouls on their bigs right now. They look like they expected to just destroy Miami after that comeback.

[frodo]

it was complacency that cost em game 2 imo, when they get serious they are just invincible... mavs done :cry

[TE]

Chalmers has big ass lips.

[davethedope]

Mavs looked good at first, but back to playing like shit

[IronMexican]

This game really shows you how bad LA was at defending the PnR.

[frodo]

o ye of little faith :cry

[InRareForm]

lol @ you saying game over. stfu

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, total floppage.

[TE]

Barea causing every mav fan a headache.

[Cry Havoc]

Mavs only getting D stops with offensive fouls called right now.

[TE]

Dirk with the move

[frodo]

yeah keep playin peja & JJB the fucks on the court and letting the opponents rip you apart, awesome coaching RC :tu

[TE]

Wow, that was a late call. Not a good call.

[benefactor]

lol foul on Ian

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao Stevenson really wanted that ball after the whistle

[Banzai]

What an epic fail call

[frodo]

still no minute for brewer :cry

[Bill_Brasky]

Cue Mavs fans crying about bad calls

[ogait]

3 fouls in 5 minutes for Ian. Just keeping his averages as usual.

[InRareForm]

hahah stevenson knows what he doing. haslem hot head

[benefactor]

He didn't even blow the whistle until Haslem was on the ground out of bounds.

[Cry Havoc]

Cue Mavs fans crying about bad calls

:lmao Cause the Stevenson flop was such a good whistle. :lmao

[Dirk´s tounge]

JJ once again fails at getting the ball to Dirk...

[benefactor]

Cue Mavs fans crying about bad calls
Anyone with a pair of eyes could see that was pretty bad.

[frodo]

:cry

[TE]

He didn't even blow the whistle until Haslem was on the ground out of bounds.

Which makes it a bad call imo.

If the call would have been made when the contact was made it would be on point.

Lol the ref thinking about making the call while the contact is made.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

hahah stevenson knows what he doing. haslem hot head
I think you're grossly overrating the intelligence of someone who has Abe Lincoln tatted on his neck.

[frodo]

get the NIGGAS in imho, at least brewer/stevenson can do a decent job on the defensive end.

[TE]

If Barea plays this shitty, why does RC leave him on the court?


lol Popovich syndrome

[Cry Havoc]

Dallas defense:

[davethedope]

damn they turn the bal over a lot, the mavs that is.

[benefactor]

lol Bosh getting owned by Dirk

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Chrissy is on his period tonight

[resistanze]

Thought this shit started at 9, tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

Dirk finally realizing you need to play defense to win playoff games.

[IronMexican]

Fucking Dirk. That would have been good from half court in the previous two series'

[Bill_Brasky]

Wow so Dirk can get an and-1 on a routine layup with no contact but he doesn't get the foul called on him when he hits Bosh's hand on a dunk.

NO ROOM.

[Dirk´s tounge]

Man, this is the worst Barea has played all postseason. This is just horrible.

[Budkin]

Mavs need to take control of this shit.

[lefty]

Chrissy is on his period tonight
:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao :lmao:lmao

[Cry Havoc]

Wade skying over Dirk. Damn.

[Budkin]

Mavs can't hit a fucking thing.

[IronMexican]

What the fuck is Dallas doing on both ends? This is terrible.

[Banzai]

Refs swallowing whistles

[Dirk´s tounge]

Get it to Dirk...GODDAMMIT!

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao at Terry not getting a foul call. Don't be a bitch and maybe you'll get a whistle.

[benefactor]

Miami squandering endless opportunities to pull away.

[redzero]

What is the pace in this game?

[benefactor]

Heat should be up by at least 15 right now.

[Budkin]

Mavs just falling apart.

[LakerHater]

Them Heat.... DAMN!

[IronMexican]

Yeah, over.

[tlongII]

Miami's killing them. This game is over.

[Banzai]

Wade>lebron

[resistanze]

:lol Terry getting his shit sent back

[Bill_Brasky]

Weird reffing this game....earlier in the game that would been a foul for Dirk on the drive.....then they turn around and call fouls on guys just fighting for position....

[davethedope]

Not really. Miami's not that good. Mavs paly like utter shit for 95% of the game.
They turn the ball over every other possession

[dmavs41]

looks like mavs are setting up to try to comeback from 50 by the time the 4th qtr rolls around

[Ditty]

At bww in San Antonio everyone is going for the Heat :lol

[siraulo23]

d wade is beasting wow

dallas gotta play better

[Budkin]

31 pts for Mavs and it's almost the end of the half... pathetic.

[IronMexican]

They turn the ball over every other possession

Seriously. I wonder how long Carlisle spends talking to them about that.

[ohmwrecker]

Bosh is an idiot.

[redzero]

There might as well be a red carpet in the paint.

[Budkin]

Miami's killing them. This game is over.

Yeah it's impossible for the Mavs to come back from 14 down.

[Bill_Brasky]

Not really. Miami's not that good. Mavs paly like utter shit for 95% of the game.
They turn the ball over every other possession

I wonder if the Heat defense has anything to do with that???????

[Booharv]

Its actually hilarious that Miami could win the championship with Anthony as their starting center.

[Ace]

Bosh is an idiot.

No he's a pussy and as I thought has regress since the Bulls series. :bang

[Bill_Brasky]

D-Wade is putting his team on his back tbh

[Budkin]

Dirk 33333

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

This isn't gonna be a blowout. Dallas is playing like absolute shit and only down 10.

[Budkin]

Dirk block!

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

D-Wade is putting his team on his back tbh
like Greg Jennings tbh

[Budkin]

Mavs coming back.

Holy Shit!!

Wade is running wild right now...and it's not even like he's parading to the freethrow line. He's just racing to the rack for dunks & easy points.

Wade almost killed that old man.

[benefactor]

Miami squandering endless opportunities to pull away.

[siraulo23]

good run by dallas, anybody's ball game

[davethedope]

Miami should be up by 20 at least. That team is not that good

[DPG21920]

Pretty bad officiated half in favor of the mavs tbh.

[jag]

Mahinmi just lost the backup's backup spot to Cardinal.

[Venti Quattro]

Miami should be up by 20 at least. That team is not that good

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :rollin

[JamStone]

Completely agree with JVG about the flopping. It makes the game worse. It's one thing when you sell contact to emphasize the foul. But with Wade selling something that didn't even happen, I just hate that shit. It's bush league.

[Bill_Brasky]

:wakeup

This isn't college, both teams are pro and can at least keep it close. It's why they're here in the Finals.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Pretty bad officiated half in favor of the mavs tbh.

Karma from 2006. I'd be fine if the rest of the series is clearly rigged in favor of the Mavs so cHeat fans can bitch and moan with nobody around to mop up their salty tears.

[024]

i see chris bosh has continued to suck.

[Bill_Brasky]

Completely agree with JVG about the flopping. It makes the game worse. It's one thing when you sell contact to emphasize the foul. But with Wade selling something that didn't even happen, I just hate that shit. It's bush league.

Dirk does it just as much. Believe me, there have been plenty of complete shit calls against my Spurs because of that 7 foot flopper.

[benefactor]

This isn't college, both teams are pro and can at least keep it close. It's why they're here in the Finals.
And what does that have to do with Miami taking tons of poor shots and having tons of shit possessions? The Mavs were playing like ass and Miami did not take advantage.

[Isitjustme?]

Completely agree with JVG about the flopping. It makes the game worse. It's one thing when you sell contact to emphasize the foul. But with Wade selling something that didn't even happen, I just hate that shit. It's bush league.

How could they get rid of it?

[badfish22]

sp:lolrfans

Wade is the only person in the league that I see get FT's when no one was even around him. Dirk gets calls from flopping off minor contact, Wade gets calls from flopping off NO contact.

[bulletedge]

Well, D-whistle said they got this game so I guess we can all change the channel now.

[Giuseppe]

Completely agree with JVG about the flopping. It makes the game worse. It's one thing when you sell contact to emphasize the foul. But with Wade selling something that didn't even happen, I just hate that shit. It's bush league.

Though I'll betch dollars to donuts he was one of the original assholes (there were a shitload of 'em) who thought it cute & quaint when the flopping shit started. Now, now he wants it to stop.

The f'in' nerve.

[Cry Havoc]

Completely agree with JVG about the flopping. It makes the game worse. It's one thing when you sell contact to emphasize the foul. But with Wade selling something that didn't even happen, I just hate that shit. It's bush league.

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

[jag]

Dirk does it just as much. Believe me, there have been plenty of complete shit calls against my Spurs because of that 7 foot flopper.

A lot of players do it. This isn't some new phenomenon. Players have been doing this for a long time. Vlade Divac was proud of his flopping ability.


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

[NRHector]

so who will get the best actor award?

[pass1st]

Keep Barea on the bench for the rest of the series

[Fabbs]

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

[Isitjustme?]

Bosh :lol 11-43 this series.

[Ghazi]

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

[redzero]

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

It's strange how refs call those fouls. Some times players get into the path of a jumping defender and it's offensive foul, and some times it isn't.

[Venti Quattro]

Dallas is lucky to be down only 5. They have to be more in-control in the second half.

[redzero]

sp:lolrfans

Wade is the only person in the league that I see get FT's when no one was even around him. Dirk gets calls from flopping off minor contact, Wade gets calls from flopping off NO contact.

Wade doesn't even half to flop to get those calls.

[AnthonyM]

Lol at the blatant travel by Kidd at the end of the half...how do the refs miss those?
