    At least we beat the spurs?????

    Spurs amounted to nothing, if you hadn't noticed. I suppose your waiting for "at least we beat the suns, too!

    Mavs failed the test.

    Put Dwyane Wade on the Cavs and they're barely scraping 40 wins and hoping for the 7 or 8 seed.

    Give Michael Jordan a Shaq, even an aging Shaq, early in his career, and the Bulls might have won 10 or 11 rings.

    As great as Wade is, this Miami victory was about 2 things -

    1) Shaq's dominance in the middle freed everything up for Wade.

    2) Dirk not having the stomach for the fight.

    I think Mavtek was being sarcastic.

    Nonetheless, Wade is closer to Lebron than you think. On top of that, Shaq wasn't even in the game for stretches because he was in foul trouble or because of his poor free throw shooting. Wade still took over.

    Sounds like a bunch of morons calling in...

    Of course, if they're listening to Engel and Dennis...nuff said

    You don't have to be set to draw a charge...you also can't throw a forearm into a guy's chest...flip a coin...Wade got the call...

    dirk's arm hit wade the same time wade's arm hit dirk, you'll never ever get a charge called while the defender is reaching in.

    From DB.com.....

    Sorry Heat. This series was so rigged you can't claim to be the better team. You get the trophy, but it's a tainted victory.

    Congratulations. Your MVPs are David Stern and Mark Cuban.

    Without all that referee help, we wrap it up in 5. Congratulations you are the fake champions. You can go to Disneyworld with the Pittsburgh Steelers.


    I wish one, just one, "respected" reporter would ask Dwayne Wade, "So, how does it feel to be giftwrapped a championship?"

    After watching him foul JET 3 times on one play with no call and then they called HIS pushoff/offensive foul on Nowitzki...I wish he had the brains to feel a huge letdown because this is so tainted.
    (yes give back the trophy!)


    Why would anybody want to win this way?????

    I don't get it. How can any one of them feel any sense of accomplishment.

    So sad. I'm sure their too stupid to realize it's wrong.
    (Yes and if Dallas won....you wouldn't feel the same sense?)


    bono, they wanted Stack suspended. They wanted Dirk suspended for kicking a basketball. They have no pride about proving they are the best. They'll take it any way they can get it.
    (oh..they are at it again I see!)

    When this bilge was spewed by some Spurs fans....a bunch of Mavs fans came here and chastised them...but now? I guess its ok for them.

    Suck it up and stop being a bunch of pussies. Dallas had Miami down 2-0 and...read carefully...could not close out the series! They could not even win a crucial game at home.

    In the words of Mav fan after the Spurs series...

    "the better team won....get over it"

    Hey, the DMN is running a survey led "Are you embarrassed at behavior of Mavs, fans?"

    EDIT: You have to go to the DMN web site and click on the link there.

    You don't have to have your feet planted, but you have to be established in a spot, which is what I mean by "set". Dirk's body was turned, he was moving away, and he was not under control. He did a convincing enough flop that the call really could have gone either way, but there's no way by rule that should have been an offensive foul. If you believe in the new rules they favor the offensive player. Dirk was taking advantage of the same rule, initiating contact against slower defenders all playoffs long. It seems disingenuous to complain about the rules just because someone else takes advantage of them.
