All your post really does is prove how big of choking es Dallas once was, to drop 4 straight to a team they owned when the games didn't matter. Here, let me save you the need to respond:
4-1, got
Ever since Dwayne Wade was drafted by the Heat, the Mavs are 11-1 vs the Heat not counting the fixed finals.
The 1 win? A 1 point OT win in Miami in Wades first game vs Dallas in 2003.
Seriously, there's no way a team can suck against another this bad then pull out 4 wins in 6 games out of nowhere without the help of refs

Even it it was, I'm willing to bet that your life today looks the very same as it did back in 2006 should they have won.
Give it a rest.
The 2006 Heat were something like 2-13 vs the elite teams of the league.
They also went 1-3 vs the Pistons in the regular season, but whooped their ass in the playoffs 4-2.
i think its kinda funny how Wade broke the Finals record for most free throws in a series with 97.
That means he averaged about 16 a game. He doesn't even average half of that vs the Mavs in the regular season.
That's because Cleveland taxed that ass in the previous round. Detroit had nothing left for the Heat after that series.
Well, yeah, cause they weren't that good
Not so
The previous season, 2005 Heat, were up on the Pistons 3-2 and had game six at home.
However, Wade got injured in game five.
So game six, the Heat lost by 30 points without Wade.
In game seven, wade took painkilling shots (very dangerous to play like that) and had to play limited minutes.
Even with all of that, the Heat were up by 4 points in the final moments of the game, but Wade asked to be taken out of the game due to his injury acting up again.
So, no freak rib injury = Heat take out Pistons in 05 and we are talking Spurs vs Heat in 2005.
so no, not because of cleveland. Heat were simply a better team than the Pistons.
Best team in the nba in 2006
That team was full of old veterans who were just waiting for the playoffs.
Anyone who knows Shaq, knows he cruises in the reg season, and he didn't want to show how good the HEAT could actually play until the playoffs.
Why is it that Mavs fans are the only ones thinking it was fixed? It's not like nobody else was watching, it was the finals. Here's your answer: denial.
The Mavericks choked, and the Heat came alive (especially their defense).
Why is it so hard to believe your team choked? Didn't you witness another meltdown the following year? Or was that just Don Nelson?
Give it a rest. You look stupid.
Dwyane Wade 2006 stats
Regular season FT average = 10.7
he was very good at driving the ball, not his fault they foul him.
Your Mav team couldn't play D on him, so they foul him a lot, and then they cry FIXED because you put him on the line too much
Just goes to show that regular season don't mean ... Its all about the playoffs.
I have seen a number of series I thought were candidates for a fix. Some were finals and some weren't. If I wanted to write about them, I would, but I don't.
Could the 2006 finals series have been fixed? Yes.
Was it fixed? No
Was any series fixed? Only those where Tim Donaghy worked. I say that because he is an admitted felon, so we can only assume he altered the results and changed the series even if he didn't work more than one game. Until another conviction or a confession occurs, let it rest. This is the NBA not pro Wrestling.
If Tim Donaghy was known to fix games is it that unbelievable that other refs could do the same?
The 2006 finals was nakedly fixed, you would be nuts if you say otherwise. It wasn't because the Mavs didn't play D not mention couldn't play it, but it was due mainly to the fixed officiating that the Miami Cheat looked so unstoppable confronting Mavs defense. Honestly the 06 Mavs team was defensively better than they'd ever been. You'd be nuts if you say otherwise.
Bull !!!! if it were a fluke they wouldn't have been butt raped by the warriors in 07.
Mavs fan butthurt that they will never smell a finals again.
Mavericks in 2006 felt because they beat the Spurs in the epic showdown, then they are clearly the best team in the NBA, and expected to roll over the Miami Heat, a mere road block to the already crowned champs.
Wade and Shaq had something to say about that LOL
P.S.
Spurs fans, I clearly remember, weren't very happy with the officiating in the Mavs-Spurs showdown in 2006, either.
yeah, you're right. The Mavs were just hacking him all series, cause they couldn't contain him. [sarcasm/]
Watch these videos all from game 6, which was the game clincher. How do you explain these?
Could Terry be further away?
Just like the others, no contact
My favorite one, I can't see any theoretical way someone can justify this one
Bottom line, is that Dallas got screwed as evidence by their dominance of Miami over the years, and these videos. Anyone who denies is clearly an idiot
Dirk's body was out of position and then put his knee/leg in Wade's way. You can't do that.
I don't know if the series was fixed, but the officiating really was piss-poor, and D-Wade really does get some ridiculous calls. That's just a fact.
the only blunt irony is some Spurs fans often enjoy pretending as fans of Cheat or Warriors only to sneer at the Mavs, and I'm pretty sure you have plenty of other accounts on Spurstalk all of which are affiliated to Spurs like the most frequently used one in koriwhat.
It's just often too difficult for Spurs fans to open their fat mouths chatting about their team with straight faces. Spursfans internally are also aware that their team sucks and they don't mind speaking to truth among their own fan base, but they never forget to put on their eye-covers when some fans of other teams join their chat and ask them to tell their genuine opinions.
