***The Official NBA Thread***

So I studied for 11 hrs today, reach home in time for 4th qtr. Turn it on to see Heat go on a 13-0 run to take a 15 point lead. I said, fcuk it, Mavs choking again, I going and bathe.
Somebody explain to me what the hell just happened?

[sharkman121]

^ yuh shudna go an bathe....das wat happened

[TriniGT]

Hahaha it was a good game, I think I don't have any fingernails for the next couple games after the last three minutes. Reminds me of how MIA weren't closing out games during the season and losing at the end. Who say three on the road .

[Morpheus]

LoL. Same here. The Mav were getting out hustled and committing turnovers with 4 mins to go and down around 9 or so. Thats when I fell asleep.

Just saw the headlines on NBA.com. WOW!!!

[noshownogo]

Marion was particularly efficient when the rest of the team wasn't.

Looks like the taunting and poster plays fired up Mavs, game on, gonna be interesting to see how this turns out.

Next 3 games in Dallas

[casper]

rel nail biting game

ref like dey blind though but say what..

want dallas to win...i rel hate the heats

[TriniGT]

People hate the heats because what Lebron came over, do you blame a guy that does not have a supporting cast, he has to do everything much like Rose on his own except that at least half of Bulls can actually play. Let's see how this matchup pans out, but by the look of things once heat continues to play strong like in the first three and a half quarters Dallas will not be able to keep up.

[casper]

no thats not why i hate heats...i hate heats cuz of the arrogance those 3 have...

[TriniGT]

It's not arrogance it's what they used to get themselves pumped, much like Garnet, that beats his chest and whatnot.

[sharkman121]

sometimes ppl dislike a side for absolutely no reason, u cant change that...it just happens. Me for example i dont like the heat. I admire an respect wade and james play and see them as superstars but for some reason i just dont fancy miami.

[Soundwave]

I'm a Pat Riley fanboy, so even though I dislike James, I'm for the Heat...

[TriniGT]

The only thing I don't like about the Heat is that they take way too long to bring the ball up the court and then they have to rush a shot in the end. The should bring it up quickly and then try to execute in a timely fashion, I think that is their downfall as their defense is sickening to an any other team.

[Morpheus]

After game 1 and a co-worker bawlin sweep and the Heat hungry so they cannot be stopped.
All I said was "Don't put your head on a block for a basketball game, I have been an NBA fan for over 20yrs"
A team can be how confident or hott, once there is a lid on the rim, or one or two mental lapses it can cost you. Look even I thought it was a wrap with the Heat up 15 in the 4th. It's too unpredictable.

With the 2-3-2 format of the Finals as opposes to the 2-2-1-1-1 format of all earlier rounds, it is even more important to win BOTH opening home games! That way you can steal at least 1 on the road. Come back home and clean up.

"I Love This Game"

[noshownogo]

*sigh* Well, one of the big three (Bosh) hit another critical shot with seconds to go to help Miami take a series 2-1 lead in Dallas.

This game felt like an exhibition for D.Wade, man was dunking on any and everyone.

[TriniGT]

Told you guys Dallas will have a hard time taming those hungry lions. At this point it is who is the hungrier between the two teams and who can endure more.

[silver]

D Wade was on fire las night....Lebron looked useless...Bosh was good support
i think nowitzki stlil had the most points of the game tho...

[jusme]

Twas a good game for the neutrals but Terry missed too many 4qtr shots (from open looks too). But dont count the mavs out, they should take Game 4 seeing that they gonna come out playing as if it were a game 7.

[TriniGT]

Every game should be played like a game 7 in the Playoffs, there are no excuses for a los of game other than the team just played a better game, there should be no lapse no nonsense.

[AbstractPoetic]

The refs were highly biased against Miami in last night's game. Even Dallas fan's saw this, yet, Miami found a way to win away from home.

It could have easily been 3-0 if it wasn't for LeBron and Wade's flop in the last 5 minutes of Game 2. Anyway, last night was a GREAT game and I think Miami will be taking this one back home for the win!

As a side note, Bosh is a complete waste of time and money. Dude had so many open shots but didn't take one. A complete coward.

[TriniGT]

People underestimate Bosh's skill as he seems a shadow in front of Wade and Lebron, he has been one of the constants in the Playoffs, much like Haslem and Anthony, you don't always have to be a scorer to be valued, a mere touch pass at the right time, proper defense and timing is very helpful and is what is keeping Miami in contention against Dallas. Go Heat!!!!

[noshownogo]

but AP, Bosh hit the deciding shot of the game last night

[AbstractPoetic]

but AP, Bosh hit the deciding shot of the game last night

It didn't have to come down to a deciding shot. Nowitzki could have made that shot and get fouled.

Bosh missed a number of free points, not to mention the number of times he overturned the ball *sigh*.

ETA: These games are just too close. It shouldn't have to be this way when you're up by 10 and 15 points late in the 3rd or early 4th. They have to keep driving to the basket and making free points. There is no room for error with the Mavericks.
