[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

I can’t wait, it’s sure to be a great game/series.  Finally we don’t see the Lakers, some new faces.

[Scottoant93Participant]

I agree I think this is going to be a great finals, I just made a bet with cane about who loses has to change thier name to whatever the winner chooses, I say mavs in 7

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Lmao!  Yeah, I saw the thread.  I couldn’t bet because I’m going for the Heat as well

[Scottoant93Participant]

damn a lot of heat supporters on here, i dont think i’ve heard any mav supporters.

lol yeah, I say no one answered so what the hell, i’d give it a shot I wonder what name he picks lol

[ZEOParticipant]

Hey bruh i see the Mavs winning it in game 6. Dirk is just 2 much!!!

[nath09Participant]

I’m torn between my heart and my wallet for this one.

Kidd has been my favourite player since his rookie year so I would love to see him get a ring, but since the LeBron decission I have been having money on the Heat.

Either way I hope its a great series and I think it will be. Good luck to you if you follow either of these teams.

Let The Game Begin!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

These commercial breaks are too long!

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

 

I love the Mavs decision to start Marion on Wade and Stevenson on LeBron.

Dallas is better defensively than what people give them credit for.

[Scottoant93Participant]

they are, but theyre playing soft on offense right now, rushing and turnover the ball

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Marion with that early foul can really hurt them if he picks up another cheap one in this quarter.

[Scottoant93Participant]

I like that they’re letting them play and not calling a lot of fouls

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

I was always under the impression that you couldn’t stand up when you had the ball on the floor.  Am I wrong?

[kaceyParticipant]

Was that not a walking violation by LeBron James? I didn’t think you could stand up with the ball in your hands after being on the floor with the ball. Last I checked that is a travel.

 

 

[Scottoant93Participant]

i was actually thinking the same thing., i thought you could only get up if you dribbled it up

[kaceyParticipant]

Thank you Tongue-Out.  I knew I wasn’t tripping.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I didn’t see a foul that last play… IF the refs are going to give LeBron that, it’s going to be a looong series.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Wade is going to have a field day in these next minutes

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Dallas moves the ball better than ANY team in the league…

[kaceyParticipant]

J Kidd showing Mike Bibby how to shoot the 3 ball.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Anybody else get annoyed just by looking at Jason Terry?

[kaceyParticipant]

I hope Terry won’t have to remove that tattoo.

[Scottoant93Participant]

good thing kidd is not a shooter, there he is, he was my favorite net,

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I don’t like Terry on Wade…

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Miami is gunna need to hit some threes if they want to win this game.

[Scottoant93Participant]

heat not hitting 3s and mavs rushing, which ever team fixes thier problem will win this game

lebron just hit one

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I can’t wait to see how the Heat defend Barea lol. I don’t care what anybody says… That little dude is tough as sh*t.

 

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

I laughed when Peja slipped.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Did the JET just bust LeBron’s ass off the dribble lol?

[GrandmamaParticipant]

Terry should have just bammed on Lebron, damn that could have been sick

[Scottoant93Participant]

^^^ i love how he passed it and tried to play it off as he meant to do it

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Why was LeBron posting up from the threept line?

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

When Barea is on the floor with Terry, Peja and Dirk… I think that’s when the Mavs are the most dangerous.

[Scottoant93Participant]

We all know they would have shut off the camera and use the men and black device to erase our memories if that jam went through lol

[WizardofOzParticipant]

LeBrob should have 3 fouls.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Oh cmon Wiz.  That wasn’t a foul on Barea.  The refs know Barea always tries that flop.  Even if Chalmers would have been posting up, he would have done that

[LazarusMunozParticipant]

Kung Fu Panda looks stupid…i wanna see that Cowboy movie

[Scottoant93Participant]

cmon haywood you need to box out,

edit sorry said chandler

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I’m mad the best shot LeBron could get vs 5′ 8″ Barea was an awkward fadeaway towards the end of the 1st quarter lol.

[Scottoant93Participant]

watch hangover 2 it was good, cowboys vs alien looks interesting though

[LazarusMunozParticipant]

Wade has been in some kind of funk as of late

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

@Tounge-Out

IF that foul they gave Dirk against LeBron was a foul in the first, they’d better call that charge the next time LeBron lowers his shoulder into Chandler’s chest…

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Chris Bosh is quietly dominating the PF matchup.  Extremely quietly.

[WizardofOzParticipant]

And BTW, LeBron’s proving the poibt I made a few weeks ago. He’s clearly lost some athleticism, main;y quickness. Stojackovic and Barea were guarding him in the 1st quater, and he settled for jumpshots and didn’t try to take it to the hole on them. If that was Cleveland LeBron, he would’ve murdered them.

[Scottoant93Participant]

wow did barea just blow by the entire heat

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Anybody else think this stage might be too big for some of the Heat’s role players?

.

[kaceyParticipant]

Dang, Dallas has been getting great looks, but just can’t hit.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Barea got that foul call every other series…

[Scottoant93Participant]

this the finals i dont want cheap fouls, even though there has been questionable calls so far, but I glad theyre leeting them play

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I just want them to call it the same both ways…

The call Barea didn’t get was the same foul LeBron got in the first quarter…

[Scottoant93Participant]

i get it, thats why i added questionable calls, but you know theyre gonna give lebron the benifet of the doubt over barea

[kaceyParticipant]

I could see the Phoenix Suns busting out Pink and Purple uniforms next year.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

ASDF

Asking Indiana to give LeBron the benefit of the doubt is like beating a dead horse.  Indiana is pretty much the biggest LeBron hater on this site lmao.

[kaceyParticipant]

How does Marion make it all the way to the NBA with that technique? Was there not a HS or AAU coach telling him to adjust it a bit?

I guess I’m just wondering why he shoots that way.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Wade needed that three badly.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I don’t like LeBron, but I respect his game and the improvements he’s made.

In my opinion though, a foul is a foul. I just want to see it called equally at both ends. I want to see an equal series with consistent refereeing.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

I don’t think Joel Anthony is doing anything differently than Pau and Ibaka.  Dirk is simply missing extremely difficult shots that he’s been making all playoffs

And he just made that three.

[Scottoant93Participant]

so dirk ommmmmm,,… where the hell you at

sidenote- im glad i changed my name, this one shorter,

there you go dirk

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

You asked where Dirk was and he shot it right in your eye.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Nevermind..

[kaceyParticipant]

Oh snap. There he is.

"Mama there goes that man."

[Scottoant93Participant]

Dirk heard my callout

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Chalmers is way better than Bibby.  Offensively and defensively.

[WizardofOzParticipant]

"Chalmers is way better than Bibby. Offensively and defensively."

I agree. I don’t know why the Heat start Bibby. He’s TERRIBLE! Veru poor defender and can’t even make wide open 3’s.

[kaceyParticipant]

Chandler doing what he do.

Contract year too.

Just saying.

[Scottoant93Participant]

I have to give bosh credit he is carrying the heat right now

[kaceyParticipant]

I’ll be surprised if Bibby plays another minute in this series if Chalmers keeps hitting like this.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Wow.  The refs let the Mavericks make their subs even though they were obviously late while earlier in the game, LeBron was a second late and wasn’t allowed in.  They really screwed that up.  Miami could have tossed the ball in and caught the Mavs off guard.

[LazarusMunozParticipant]

Nice to see more racism in Hollywood…Green Lantern,Captin America,X MEN….ALL WHITE! Why cant any of them be black or mexican Superman should be like Puerto Rican

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

The Mavs finding a lot of holes in this amazing Heat defense… Heat have to make some adjustments because the Mavs missed A LOT of wide open shots. You can’t count on that to keep happening.

All Dallas has to do is not turn the ball over, finish off defensive possessions with the rebound and then just make open shots. IF they do that, I’d say they have an amazing chance to win game one.

And that D. Rose commercial goes hard…

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Lazarus

Because the villains are usually Mexican..

Not racist, I’m Mexican

[KayjayParticipant]

Are we all going to just ignore the fact Miami is playing good D on Dirk?

[kaceyParticipant]

I think Wade is just waiting for Game 3 and then he will dominate the rest of the series.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Miami has defended Dirk like I thought they would… Doubling him and making him pass the ball… Being physical with him. They’ve done a great job.

He’s on pace for 26 points and 8 of 18 shooting though. Not to mention, he’s made most of the right passes.

I expect Dirk to have a better second half.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

And another miss for Bibby..

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I don’t understand how Dirk didn’t get that foul call during Dallas’ first possession. And Bibby is struggling… Get Rio in there. IF Bibby isn’t making shots, he’s a no good pointless player.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

We didn’t get a good look at the block so we don’t know if it was all ball or if he had some hand.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Brenda Haywood getting hung…

[Scottoant93Participant]

haywood FAIL!!!

[Scottoant93Participant]

i know chalmers is missing thress but cmon terry you can never leave someone that wide open

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Kidd defending Wade fine to me…

[Scottoant93Participant]

this game seems extremely slow, no crowd action,  all set plays

[NickWayne87Participant]

 bet me 100 on the mavs……i took him up on his offer, gonna be the easiest hundred of my life lol.

[paradigmnParticipant]

 wow….yall see that graphic that said JUAN HOWARD is first fab five player in the nba final.  If I was JALEN ROSE Id be a lil pizzzzzed!!!!

[KayjayParticipant]

I expected him to be good, but not from the outside. Pretty interesting.

[Scottoant93Participant]

you prolly just tuned in but this game has been tight(down by 4 cmon you serious), games not over yet..wouldn’t you look stupid if mavs came back and won

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

That’s a BAD call on Dirk. Terrible call. Just disgusting.

[Scottoant93Participant]

Alright anyone think the refs are trying to give the game to the heat

[KayjayParticipant]

Really?! None of that please. I don’t want to hear anything after Dirks phenomenal 144 trips to the line this post season.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

25-17 Bench Scoring… Miami winning. That’s surprising.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Calls on Dirk and Chanlder were pathetic.

[Scottoant93Participant]

the haslam call was bull, and dirk was not a foul, cmon even the announcers said theyre getting calls because theyre the home team, this not anything personal

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I’d like to see LeBron defend Dirk instead of Terry…

[Scottoant93Participant]

clean strip and foul and this is not rigged, this is just a counteract to marion

[torukParticipant]

huge block and huge shot!

[KayjayParticipant]

Comin up in the 4th.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Definitely a clean strip by Dirk lmfao.

But that shot by Wade was just fantastic…

[torukParticipant]

 LEBRON JAMESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[Scottoant93Participant]

im not denying the heat talent awesome block and 3 by wade and that dunk was sick but some calls are horrible…

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I’m not trying to be funny or bitter… I’ve already made it known I don’t like either team.

But… Where was the foul on the LeBron dunk? And how did LeBron just get away with that travel on that last play???

[Scottoant93Participant]

i guess the refs are trying to make up for it.. lebron was hit in the head and dirk missed that and wasnt fouled

edit- i not a fan of the heat or mavs but refs suck

[torukParticipant]

 lebron should get at least two travelings call at each game, i`m from brazil and in our league that kind of plays are called traveling every single time but in the nba you can get away with it.

[torukParticipant]

 they are putting a show! game over. that`s just awesome basketball! the refs made some bad calls but this guys deserve the win tonight!

[aamir543Participant]

Is it just me or am I the only one that noticed Nowitzki fiddling wiht his finger during the timeout, and right before the ball was inbounded? I am not trying to make a big deal about it, but I think it may be bothering him.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I loved how Wade got his 10th rebound when he went over Chandler’s back for the rebound, but Dirk picked up his 4th foul when he went straight up and got the offensive rebound over a smaller Haslem.

Good win by the Heat. Other than Terry, Dallas’ bench didn’t show up. Rio was huge off of the bench for the Heat. Wade hasn’t been starting games well, but he’s been finishing well with his defense and all around play.

[aamir543Participant]

Also, that shot by James at the end of the third is crazy! That is the kind of shot you shoot in NBA2k11, and it looks like it is going in but never does.

[Scottoant93Participant]

Heat win game 1! congrats to them, game 2 next mavs have to regroup and heat need to keep it up.. i still say its a long series

edit oh yeah congrats to nickwayne for winning $100 on this game,… still wouldnt consider it the easist way to get money though

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

The funny thing is I had a feeling he was going to make that shot. He’s made shots like that before.

When he fades away like that, he’s gets an excellent step into his shot… And his release afterwards has pretty good follow through.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Indiana

I actually thought LeBron was gunna make it too

I was with a friend and as LeBron stepped back, I stood up and said "money" and what do you know, he swished it.  Nasty.
