NBA FINALS

[Plev]

Heat Vs Mavs

Whos gonna get up?

If Heat stop Dirk then they will get up imo! LeBron and Bosh are just playing unreal ATM!

[Novocaine]

Wanted to see Bulls in there, but oh well. It will be a good round of games either way. Tipping Miami will probably take it.

Sort of sad to see Rose and Durant out but they're young so they'll be back. Game 5 for the Bulls and Game 4 for the Thunder ...ouch!

Despite their regular season standings imo Mavs and Heat have been the 2 best teams this year and clearly the best of the post season so it'll be a great final series.

Mavs post season weakness - they get their shots blocked a lot
Heat post season strength - Inside defense and shot blocking
Mavs post season strength - 3 point shooting (especially Terry and Kidd)
Heat post season weakness - Defending the 3 point line

My preferred result Heat in 7.

Heat in 4.
They paid the cash and the championship will be delivered...

Just because they tried to buy a championship I hope they lose. But they shouldn't.

Heat in 6!

[CrazyMonkey]

yeah Heat in 4

[coblos]

Just because they tried to buy a championship I hope they lose. But they shouldn't.

They are 17th out of 30 teams for salaries and spend about $22,000,000 less than the Dallas Mavericks so I'm not sure how you can say they tried to buy a championship.

Hidden: show

LBJ and Wade close out again. Not looking good for the Mavs, though I expect they will shoot a little better in the up-coming games

paying for bosh and lebron to come across has something to do with it, both of them being the top salary players for the heat
that = buying a championship

They got rid of Jermaine O'Neil and Quentin Richardson and signed Bosh and James for less money. It's just good Management.

[discobrad]

hahhaha
they were on more money? lol

Well Heat take a 2-1 lead. If Dirk makes that shot yesterday, it wins me $125 Dammit! But I'm going for the heat so its all good. Game 4 tomorrow in Dallas, if the Heat win then the series is all but over. C'mon Heat!

[JonDogg]

Dallas did well to win in Miami last week coming from like 15 points down in the last quarter. But then they go out and lose the next game which was at home.

[coblos]

Could have easily went the other way. Dirk's fade away jumper to tie almost dropped. Heat obviously came out with a plan to attack the ring which makes for great basketball. James and Wade driving and dunking in traffic is always fun. Couldn't imagine Mavs are going to let them do it again. They will probably be looking to get a body in front and take the charge (flop). Hacking at the arms of James and Wade ends up to often as a made basket with a free throw to come.

Home or away I can't see any of these games being a blow out, quite likely they will nearly all be decided in the last minute and some are just going to come down to luck.
