Official NBA Finals Thread

^Yeah, admittedly, an anomaly occurred. The Spur simply shot themselves in the foot one two many times in that Dallas series, not to mention the shoddy officiating. The Spurs have 3 championships, way more playoff experience and a much better track record in division les for Dallas fans to be talking anytime soon.

One thing's for certain, the Spurs will be back strong and ready come next season's playoffs, and I'm very confident they'll claim their fourth championship.

I still think Dallas will win this series, though.

[GrandeDavid]

Yeah the mavs should've won that game and it would've been easier if the mavs didn't let the officials decide the game which has proven that Shaq teams get more calls than other teams. Oh well I guess the mavs will have to blow out the Heat next time.

Yeah, the Mavs shoulda won that game. Had they ONLY scored 25 more measly points.

[dirk4mvp]

C'mon about the officiating. If somebody so much as said " What's up" to Timmy, it was an automatic foul.

[LEONARD]

'05-06 Mavs > '05-06 Spurs, so Spurs fans really can't rip the Mavs TOO much can they?

Missed WAAYYYYYYYYYy too many open shots...they'll fall in game 5 and the Mavs will still win in 6 like I've said all along...

[PaceMonster]

its either Heat in 6 or Mavs in 7

[dirk4mvp]

Shall be a slobberknocker until it's over with. I really want to see a legendary game where Wade and Dirk go for 55 apiece for something to go in the books.

[LEONARD]

no mav fans love signing up on SPURS forums just to act like they are the when in reality they are just ty.

go talk hasselhoff somewhere else.

:LMAO

If the Mavs are ty, what are the Spurs??

I love how the national media / fanas are eating up the Hasselhoff bit... Idiots...

well, the heat are doing something the spurs couldn't do against the mavs - play effective defense. this should dead all the talk that small-ball was in any way whatsoever a good idea

If the Mavs hit their open shots like they NORMALLY do the game would've gone down to the wire...

Wow what a sad move by stackhouse. If Shaq makes his free throws it's only gonna get worse for the Mavs. Williams should have taken that shot though.

Williams' fault...good hard play by Stack...

Lets call a spade a spade- Dallas is choking...big time. Dirk can't hit the broad side of a barn. If Dallas doesn't win game 5, I think Miami takes the series.

As a Dallas fan I was very disappointed with the lack of character the Mavs displayed last night. They'd better get their together fast.

Yes, they are choking. They're playing really tight in Miami...

The Heat still have to win one (or 2) in Dallas...

[PaceMonster]

^^which i see happening if they win game 5....if they lose game 5, then DALLAS MAVERICKS 2006 NBA CHAMPS....as much as i hate to say it

[dirk4mvp]

I really didn't know Wade was this good. He even had LBJ kissing his ass on sportscenter yesterday.

[td4mvp3]

so does stackhouse get suspended? that didn't look like he was going for the ball, he hit shaq in the head...

[MadDog73]

The NBA seems to be pretty tough this year, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

But, then again, it's game 5 of the Finals...

yeah, but geez, there is absolutely no doubt that the guy had no chance of getting to the ball and no real effort to do so. aw well, maybe i'm just hoping for anything to help the heat win this thing.

[LEONARD]

I don't think he hit him in the head...





I doubt he gets suspended for it...

[dirk4mvp]

That's a big body to hit the floor.

[bulletedge]

It wouldn't surprise me to see Stackhouse get suspended- although I don't think he should be. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part.

If Shaq hadn't fallen down it wouldn't even be in question- just another intentional foul to prevent a breakaway dunk.

[LEONARD]

Yea it is...I like the play by Stackhouse...only because Williams screwed around and allowed it to happen. If he gets suspended, so be it...Mavs can beat the Heat without him...

I like Avery's face in the background

[SPARKY]

He won't be suspended but Stackhouse clearly did not make a play on the ball. Post the vid.

[ShoogarBear]

Stack didn't come anwhere near the ball. And had no intention to.

The call was made correctly, a flagrant 1. THere should be no suspension.

[dirk4mvp]

It was really a bonehead move by Stack. He wasn't even looking at Shaq when he went in. We can just add it to the "Stack's bonehead plays" collection.

but couldn't the same thing be said of posey when he decked henrich? i don't believe he hit him in the head, either, but he did bump him bad and send him sprawling. and terry's fisting of bowen also failed to hit head (well, one any way) but got him tossed.

[CharlieMac]

So.......Dirk has set a new record for the number of free throws attempted in a single postseason? Interesting stat.

[FUCKMARKCUBAN]

How does it feel to get put out out by the guys who got beat by 24?

hows it feel to win a series by cheating? yeah dont act like you dont know. !

[FUCKMARKCUBAN]

and terry's fisting of bowen also failed to hit head (well, one any way) but got him tossed.

you mean his punching to the groin of finley? im just assuming........ cause i dont remember bowen ever getting punched. anyhow terry!
