NBA Finals: Mavs Vs. Heat

[AdropOFvenom]

Who wins and why?

 

[DevinHester23]

Mavs. They have a deeper rotation, and plenty of fouls to use on the Hack-a-Shaq.

I dont think theres a single player on Dallas who stands a chance covering Shaq or Wade.

It's a tough call. It could go either way. I am going to go with the Heat though. I don't think the Mavs have an answer for Wade or Shaq. But they need their role players to play solid or up to their potential though to win.

I think the Mavs will have a few bigs to throw at Shaq at least. They will do one thing the Pistons should have done the whole series against them...run. I don't think the Heat will be able to keep up, but we'll see.

Go Heat! This game will be a tough one to call.

Haslem can cover Dirk. He did a superb job on Rasheed Wallace and both players have similar games (Dirk is better obviously).James Posey could also stop Dirk. Doesn't have the same height but when he was on the court, the person he was guarding has real trouble trying to score.Noone can stop Wade though. Josh Howard is good but not quick enough and will have serious trouble with Wade's drive to the hoops.Shaq won't have to work too hard on defense considering Dampier and Diop can't score 10 to save their lives. All he has to do is boxout and block the penetrators.

 

[bobferg]

josh howard has a good of chance at stopping wade as anyone on the heat have at stopping dirk. Mavs win. wade chokes.

 

[Agent Zero]

Shaq will not have a good series. On D, he won't be able to guard Dirk and Van Horn, and on offense, he won't be able to score over Diop. Josh Howard vs. Walker will go the Mavs way too. Howard is too quick for Walker and he will score 20+ppg. Remember, when he scores over 20, the Mavs are at least 25-0. Look for Terry to have a good series also. Jason Williams has sick handles and offensive stuff, but his defense is at best below average. M. Daniels and Devin Harris can stop Wade from scoring over 30. This should do it, Mavs win in 5 or 6.

 

[chang]

Shaq won't be able to score over Diop yet he pwned DPOY Ben Wallace in Game 6 and had solid games all series? Sure Diop is fat but doesn't have anywhere near the defensive skills of Big Ben.Remember a guy named Boris Diaw. He owned the post against the Mavs.Shaq won't have to guard Dirk either. If he does have to go 1 on 1, Riles is smart enough to go zone.

 

[Agent Zero]

Diop's D > Jason Collins's D > Ben's DDiaw owned the post againts Van Horn, Howard, and Nowitzki.Yeah, go ahead and play zone againts the Mavericks... give them the open 3's.

 

[Jon_Vilma]

Mavs. They have History on their side, and the best player on either team in the finals: Dirk.

 

[bobferg]

Dirk= best player in the league. Told you all he should have won the MVP

Nobody can't guard Shaq because he is the most dominated Center in the league, plain simple.

 

[DevinHester23]

Mavs win game 1 90-80

lol

 

[chang]

^^^ You got about everything else wrong.Haslem pwned Dirk and Howard was off all night. Wade scored 28 but is still sick.

 

[Agent Zero]

Howard had a double double...

 

[chang]

Wasn't close to 20.

 

[Agent Zero]

ok my predictions for game 2...Heat (97):Shaq- 25pts, 11reb, 3blkHaslem- 12pts, 13rebWalker- 19pts, 7reb, 4astWade- 31pts, 6reb, 7ast, 3stlJWill- 13pts, 5astPayton- 4pts, 2astMavs (108)ampier- 5pts, 7rebDirk- 32pts, 12reb, 4ast, 2blkHoward- 18pts, 10rebHarris- 12pts, 3ast, 2stlTerry- 17pts, 7ast, 2stlStack- 11pts, 2ast

 

[DevinHester23]

"He didn't see me, first of all. So anything like that -- a guy coming from the side -- a collision will happen like that. That's all it was." - James Posey on decking Kirk Hinrich at the end of game 3.This is why I don't want the Heat to win.GO MAVS!!!

[chang]

It was the best individual performance by a player in awhile. Jordanesque performance.

 

[JHair]

That performance by Wade sent chills down my spine, I was half asleep in the 4th quarter but that comeback he led really woke me up. I really hope the Heat win.

 

[DevinHester23]

Heat win the title. Wade Finals MVP.

 

[Uptown]

D. Wade is beast. He played great in the NBA finals and definately deserved that finals MVP.

[JHair]

Best finals in a long time, it started getting real good when the Mavs came to Miami. I'm so glad the Heat won.
