NBA Finals

[Crazy8]

i want to see the lakers to advance to the final next year..but it is nearly impossible when kobe is going to play with the same group. unless they add a better point guard and power forward...they're going to have the same result next year.

i am sure the lakers will go to the playoff next year. they are saying they might trade odom for some replacement the lakers are lack of. maybe send odom to min for KG or maybe to atlanta for josh smith and a draft pick or something else. the lakers really want to have an early pick.

Curently halftime right now and the score is 52-43 with the Heat leading hopefully the Heat could keep the pace up and win the series. But for some reason this game gives me the impression that the Mavs aren't even trying and just giving the Heat a win so they get embarrassed.

[Godslayer]

Holy cow does the Heat suck, they blew a 10-point halftime lead and now Dallas is ahead about 12 points through the third quarter.

[Godslayer]

Finally the Heat won a game. They mounted acomback due to Wade's 42 points and caem back in the forth quarter to win 98-96.

So the series is 2-1 Mavs leading.

OMFG that was a lcuky shot by Payton with tat long Jumper.

Okay now the series is at 2-1 with the heats still having home court adv.


Wade definately stepped up big time with 42pts.



CMON heats bring it home baby.......

but still, shaq needs to perform better.

game 3 was fun to watch.

if you are the heat, are you encouraged that you came back and won it or discouraged that you struggled at home and had to come back to win it?

if you are the mavs, are you encouraged that the heat barely beat you in their home court or discouraged that you blew a double-digit lead and dirk (a 90% FT shooter) missed a crucial free throw that probably would have sent the game into OT?

[elitista]

game 3 was really exciting but it's not that
satisfying if you're a heat fan knowing that
its only a 2-point deficit (at home) and comparing it
to the first two games....
taking into donsideration also the heats' record
at home during the postseason (9-1).....
if you're a heat fan, don't you think it's much
better if the lead has reached to double digit???
the result of tonight's game will just trigger
the mavs' craving for a championship although
the next 2 games will still be in miami.....

[Godslayer]

I don't think the Heat are winning Game 4 since Wade got a sore knee or ankle. Unless he plays in that game or Shaq gets off his slack, the Heat are gping down 3-1. Not that it is godd thing or anything.

[Godslayer]

Game 4 is taking place right now, and Wade had another brillant first-half performance scoring 24 points to lead the Heat to a 10-point lead, 54-44

[keepp]

looks like heat were encouraged by their game 3 win and the mavs were discouraged.

the mavs could not buy a bucket tonight.

guess this is what happens when you give a team hope.

[SkyKing]

OMFG that was a lcuky shot by Payton with tat long Jumper.

.

lucky? naw...if Shaq made tat shot, then it's lucky, but not GP

[elitista]

will the maimi heat survive tonight's game????
if the miami heat will be able to take this
game right now, the mavs' look at the championship
wll be quite vague...
but if the mavs take tonight's game,
IT WILL BE HISTORY FOR THE MIAMI HEAT.....

[keepp]

awesome game tonight! heat beats mavs 101-100 in OT.

[milKBoi]

Hold up, hey its 3-2 baby

wooohoooo


man, from the start of last season ive been following the heats. Just one more win and shaq will bring that o'brien trophy home. ]

its a good series so far.

[keepp]

heat have not won in dallas during the regular season (I think that's right). can they do it now?

[pandamao]

Mavs fan here.

seriously, after all those freebies from the refs, is a one point lead all Heat can do?!?! i know Mavs will pull through... Dallas has the well-rounded team .. Norwitzki, Howard, Stackhouse, Terry!!! i have faith in my hunnies

go away Wade. there's no shaq-wade duo. have u not notice, Heat has noooooo kind of strategy what so ever. every time, there's an empty player on the 3 pt line. wade just gets the ball while shaq takes on 3 men. what about the other 3 players?!?

[keepp]

no one told howard to miss those 2 FTs or call that TO. game could have gone either way.

[pandamao]

hey keepp, did u see Howard call the TO?

as far as i know, i've been reading lots of articles on how he denied it.

[keepp]

I did see him call the TO. I also saw Avery Johnson signaling from the bench to call TO. I think there was a miscommunication between the Avery and Howard. Howard stepped up and called the TO. you can just see the "what have I done" expression on howard's face after he made the call.
it was a bad way to end the game.
they showed post-game video of dirk kicking the exercise bike on his way into the locker room. he was really mad.

[pandamao]

well - it's a hard fall b/c Mavs really did step up given Stackhouse is gone. He also kicked the ball up, and i saw that ..

i do recall the facial expression but i wasn't sure if it was "huh, it wasn't a time out now." i really think the refs were being unfair b/c usually that was a signal for after the second FT so they can push the ball half court. if u listened to the commentaries, they all said, 2.8 seconds can change the ball game. there could have been a foul involved!

regardless - i know Dallas can win this.
