2011 NBA Finals: Mavericks vs Heat

high strength for little mass?

This is an amazing Finals series. Best I've seen in 20 years.

As long as Stern rules, the Lakers will be in 9 out of every 10 Finals. Enjoy this novelty while it lasts.

Pro-Stern historians call the late 70s the Dark Ages because smaller market teams like Portland, Seattle, and Washington dominated the Finals.

This is the 5th Finals in the last 9 years without the Lakers.

03- Spurs
05- Spurs
06- Mavericks
07- Spurs
11- Mavericks

Your theory holds no water.

 

[jlprk]

You must have made that up. Or Stern changed the records to hide what he's done.

I am amazed that the Mavs have won 3 games. I still think the Heat will take this in 7 though.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I called Mavs in 6 before the series to my friend who is a Heat "fan".

It would be the best thing that has ever happened in the history or world sports if Miami lost this.

 

[mook]

Awesome to think that Dallas is one game away from a championship.

Miami still doesn't know what to do against the zone. This is sad.

 

[illmatic99]

Holy shit. This is reminiscent of DAL's closeout game 4 against LA. Why is Wade even sitting for a second in this game? Dumbass Spoelstra.

 

[illmatic99]

LeBron needs to watch Wade and learn how to attack the basket in the zone.

Jet!

I can't believe Dallas is doing this well despite Dirk's performance. The talent drop-off after him is really amazing.

 

[NJNetz]

Just 12 more minutes...let's go Dallas.

 

[illmatic99]

Barea's in and out dribble to lose House. Wow. that was sick .


Still don't get what Spoelstra is doing benching LeBron and Wade for any time in this second half.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Dallas has really impressed me. JJ is a gutsy little player.

 

[Natebishop3]

Weak foul on Chandler there. They're going to give them a foul any time there's contact now.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Dallas needs to stay aggressive.

 

[illmatic99]

This is Dirk's year.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dallas needs to stay aggressive.

yeah they've been a little tight over the last few minutes.

Anyone want to see how Cuban reacts if they win? I bet he runs onto the floor, does a little jump and the MJ fist pump.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

GAME SET MATCH TO DALLAS!

 

[Natebishop3]

IT'S ALL OVER! CLAP CLAP CLAL CLAP CLAP

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

GO

TO

HELL

MIAMI

HEAT

!!!

 

[maxiep]

Fucking fantastic.

So, are we to conclude that the only team that gave Dallas as hard of a time as the team with three of the best players in the game is Portland?

 

[illmatic99]

I wouldn't be surprised if Dirk is bawling his eyes out right now. Totally Dirkulous to run off into the locker room before celebrating in public. You can tell 06 has been eating away at him him mentally, and tonight is finally vindication for him.

I'd say Portland gave them a harder series than Miami. Dallas was tied 2-2 going back for Game 5 and was in real danger of choking the series. Brandon Roy did things against them that Miami couldn't.

Oden/Batum for LeBron

He can be the PGoTF hehehehehe
