Mavs in 6. Booooooooook iiiiiiiiiit.
Rest assured, there will be a Game Seven ......... LeBron will not have two free throws in Game 6 and you may see something along the lines of 2002 Western Conference Finals ..... hopefully not ........ good luck to both.
Miami is right where they wanna be .... last two home games of the season and they are both in South Beach ...... Mavs? If you don't pull this out, you will be branded chokers forever ........
Mavs in 6. Booooooooook iiiiiiiiiit.
Can you imagine Cuban receiving that trophy from Stern??? I know that old man's heart would fall to his damn shoes ...... And the media would kill LeBron.
If the mavs wanna ring, they better get game 6. They do not want this going 7.
They just better not talk to Lebron. God help us if he decides to flip that switch.
Bron is messed up mentally. You can tell the dude is flat out rattled. They might come out with an early strong push to start the game and make people think that the game is over early, but the Mavs will just chip away and eventually win by 6+ with strong execution once again in the 4th, and showing more of a desire to win.
Mavericks will win this game and it wouldn't surprise me if it was fairly decisive (8+). Everything is going their way.
he did start the game pretty aggressively actually, then remembered that he lacks a post game and couldnt take advantage of guys like Kidd and Stevenson guarding him. then in the 4th when Chandler was able to not worry about fouls and play aggressively, they clamped down on the dribble penetration.
IMO this is mostly a bad matchup for Lebron. he lives in the paint, and the Mavs play a zone defense to guard the paint better than anyone in the league. In addition, they have a guy who can guard him pretty well in one-on-one situations in Marion. Lebron really needs to develop his post game and jumper more, otherwise teams are going to keep doing this to him and hes going to be in more and more trouble.
If LeBron needs officiating to help him out, then he really isn't the Chosen One.
Officials are not the reason he can't post up Kidd or hit wide-open 3-pointers.
These are things we know.
then if you take away 3 bull Wade calls that happen on a nightly basis, leading to 6 points, Mario Chalmers hitting a halfcourt 3 at the end of a quarter, and give Tyson 2 more calls for the 10 missed calls when he gets hacked at the rim, adding 3 more points, then one extra made jumper for Dirk/Terry/Barea for a wide open shot that they almost never miss adds another 6 points, so that gives the Mavs 18 extra points, resulting in an 8 point Maverick victory.
hat = f
cked
Officiating has been very equal (sans for the end of game three when the refs tried to get Mavs back in it.)
Anyone you says otherwise is visibly upset.
I agree they are probably better defensive teams than the Mavs, but part of it is that the Mavs type of defense is a bad matchup for the Heat. The other part is that the Mavs make them work 100000000000000000000x harder on defense, because they actually can score points in a mul ude of ways. Boston and Chicago especially, both are not strong at all offensively.
on a side note, is it just me, or has Marion owned the out of Lebron most of the series, especially over the past 2 games? it seems like he has been talking a lot of trash at lebron all series, and I normally dont notice Marion talking NEARLY as much trash as I have this series.
Ghazi was right........again.
He has. Hes even started talking trash while guarding him.
Word has gotten out that Lebron is mentally soft, and none of the players are scared of him. You think a player would ever do that to Kobe?
you mean like chalmers tackling kidd with no foul? or marion being hit on the wrist with no foul? Or Haslem wrapping up Chandler with no foul?
Jason Terry still can't believe what happened to him during game 5:

For whatever reason, I still like Lebron, and have always been a big defender of his, but this right here says it all. No one would be doing that stuff to Kobe.
I still believe Lebron, while flawed, is the best player in the NBA. But the fact that he is not as complete as Kobe, is hurting him big time in this series.
Bron has a lot of work to put in this offseason, win or lose.
lefty, with the bads
why the do you always have to come in and up a perfectly good thread. now we might have to start another one
why is the sky blue?
He's 26, as long as LBJ doesn't get injured he will probably step over his mental hurdle of being in the finals. It probably will take a ring for that to happen though.
