Official NBA Finals Thread

Dirk and Josh will bounce back...Wade and Shaq pretty much played like they were supposed to(though Dallas did do a good job on Shaq from getting the boards). Watching this game, I'm pretty convinced Dallas is the better team(so are the Spurs- I think San Antonio and Dallas are the two best teams this yr which is really unfortunate that we met up in the 2nd round) and if they can't win when Dirk and Josh play horribly..I don't see how the Heat are going to win more than 2 games the rest of the series. We actually won with defense tonight. Couldn't have ever imagined that before this year.

ofcourse you say they will bounce back

not sure howard will though
why because he is youngster and he might have lost his confidence for the rest of the year
I was hoping if mavs win it all he would be finals mvp now I can only hope terry will get it and make cuban pay $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

still think heat can beat mavs
when will heat have 2 quarters that they will not score more then 13 points in them

[ponky]

The point is he had to be a team player to get them there, so he has a history of being a team player.

it was a freakin' joke, damn you guys are so touchy about timmy, i have no problems with him, he's a great player and proved that he hasn't aged with the second round performance

[Spurologist]

Antoine Walker should still be on our payroll. He was one of our best players tonight.

I said the same thing to mavs' opponents when the mavs signed KVH

[I H8 Mavs Fans]

You are ing laughable. Dirk - a team player?

Dallas offense 101: Get someone the ball and everyone else get the out of the way. Dallas is ing last in the playoffs in assists.

That's because the pass the ball and go around screens and they are dribbling alot so they dont have many assists. Only because the calls the refs get them aren't considered assists.

[downinhtown]

same old story, yaaaaaaaawn, this thread is about the present, i don't need the silly history lesson but thanks anyway...i have to go out for drinks with some mavs fans now...i'll be back when we take game two

whats silly is your notion that tim duncan is not a team player. you dont need drinks you're already stupid enough. a history lesson or an iq transplant is in order.

[Drbio]

Timmah Duncan is a great team player and the fact is that any Mavs fan with half a brain would be happy to have him on our team. That's pretty off base.

[AMOS7]

Riley's gonna make adjustments like all HOF coaches should do. Wade will continue to play out of his mind. Shaq will be just as dominant. Haslem won't be called for fouls for breathing on someone. Williams and Walker will supply good roles to win game 2. Bench production will have Posey come in and make some good shots and spread the floor, Payton will produce better defensively.

In the end, Wade will dominate and so will Shaq, and Dallas can't stop them. Poor Miami FT shooting can, though. That's the reason of the loss. If they made 10 of those missed FT's, the game would have been theres. FT shooting loses aren't unfamiliar for Spurs fans either.

Miami should have confidence and be happy with a split with a game 2 win and carry the momentum in Miami for 3 and 4. If they can take down the juggernaut Pistons in 6, they can take down the Mavericks. Heat fans will be just as rowdy and loud as the Dallas fans were, except they don't have a childish owner.

[Drbio]

Consider, after their ridiculous 70%FG 31PT 1st quarter, Miami only scored 49 points the rest of the way....about 16 points per quarter.

Defense wins championships. And Dallas starts with D.


Sure Riley will make adjustments but they still have to play a very solid Mavericks defense. With as poorly as Dirk and Howard played offensively (although both were good elsewhere) and knowing that both have rebounded from performance like this all season I would not feel very confident if I were a heat fan. I still say Mavs in 6 but miami has one foot in the grave.

[Amarelooms]

Sorry but we all know both teams played poor. Face it the Mavs are the better team....Dirk/Howard/stack all had poor games. Don't expect all 3 to have off games. In addition, Harris/KVH/Daniels did nothing. Howard by far was playing like a dumbass....turning the ball over.....bricking wide open jumpers. Just can't see the Heat beating the Mavs 4 time regardless if they win Game 2 or not.

[Drbio]

I hope that re is banned. It's one thing to talk a little ...it's another to be a total and complete a-hole.

Another quality first post

Great first post, it should be Classiced

[windboy226]

The best thing for me tonight was seeing Walker hit those 2 threes at the beginning of the game. You were pretty much guaranteed that he'd take at least 10 more from the 3 line after that. I love Walker(when he's on the other team).

[Spurologist]

you should have left off the coondotcom in your name. We can at least know you are part of Dirk's anatomy.

Not much better than the idiot who inspired your post.

The flood gates for mavs trolls opened long ago. Unfortunately, the gate is still open

I think Williams going 10 for 12 against Detroit was huge for you guys too. Looking at the box score he didn't shoot that poorly, but I saw shades of the old Jason tonight, as he took some BAD shots.

Well that one and any like him obviously need to get bounced. Unfortunately every town has a bunch of dope ass idiots like that assclown.

[Holmes_Fans]

Dallas got owned on the board, this was the first game all playoffs to be outrebounded. Showed really how bad they played, Dwade had like 3 offensive rebound within 10 seconds of each other. It would of been cool if Dallas outrebounded the other team in every game, has that ever been done before?

[angryllama]

Ahhh...sweet victory. Dallas is undefeated in the NBA Finals as of today. ;D

At least the Larry O'Brien is staying in the SW division, right?

Not so fast my friend. Take one game at a time and not get y. Dirk/Howard and Stack all have to play better. They will try and slow down Terry. If the Mavs win Game 2 then things look better....still though not going to count the heat out until the final horn has sounded and the Mavs have won 4 games.

[DubMcDub]

No way this continues, teams have to earn the champioship, sure they helped them get there, but cmon

Biased ass Spurs fans think they didn't receive any beneficial calls when they won their 3 les? That's ing comedy gold.

[GrandeDavid]

Shaq sucks, so does Miami. They blew it last night. They suck. They're dead. The championship will be decided by San Antonio and Dallas next season as well. And San Antonio will get back what's was once theirs.

[foodie2]

Wow, I checked this thread this morning because I really didn't want to watch the game last night. Starting from the end and reading back, at least, it looks like I wandered onto a Mavericks board. Why aren't Mavs fans posting on their own lame board? Maybe your board, and ours, would improve if you would just go over there and leave us in peace.

[jochhejaam]

Good win Mavs, sweep the Heap

I know it's Heat but that doesn't rhyme.
