Donnie Walsh is out in NYC. Begin the second Isiah era.

I think there would be a riot.

Also: kindly go **** yourself

One thing that has pleasantly surprised me is that Marion has almost matched LeBron's production so far. LeBron is averaging 22 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists and shooting 55% with 25 and 21 points while Marion is averaging 18 points, 9 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 57%.

He's certainly played very well, with his biggest contribution being the defense he's played against LeBron. We'll see how long that lasts

I see you liked the Daily Dime.

D. Wade - carrying Lebron to a championship since '11!


But seriously, Mavs need to turn things around. Stop taking quick shots before there's anyone to rebound and try to play D, please.

If the Big Three all turned into Capitan America, then they MIGHT win the three games at Dallas.....

 

[classical_hero]

Dallas should have tried for the win and not settle for OT.

 

[Dachs]

Dirk did not have a good last minute of the game, there. This could be pretty big.

 

[NBAfan]

We can't the Mavs make their open shots? They had so many good looks again.

 

[Archbob]

Heat in 6, count it.

Seriously thought I don't think this "Lets dig ourselves into a 10 to 15 points hole and then try to dig ourselves out late in the 4th" strategy is going to work over a 7 game series.

I completely forgot all about the game until just after it ended. I'd been looking forward to it earlier today, too.

Well done.

Don't worry about watching. Miami will win this series. They got the tri-force.

Miami can win if Dallas can't make their open shots. They have handled the big 3 well.

Terry is going to end up like Rose since James is guarding him and Miami is good at defending the perimeter. Kidd isn't really going to sore I think. Dirk is going to have to carry them all the way and I don't think he can win 4 games in this series for them.

Heat choked away Game 4 there, but they were really hurt by Bron deciding not to play tonight.

 

[Zack]

^Dirk was playing with a fever and pretty much sucked until the end.

Wade was terrible in the last minute.

 

[Dachs]

Yeah, that inbound was all kinds of screwed up there at the end.

 

[Zack]

And the missed free throw. Almost missed the first one too.

Mavs defense was really good. Miami had no idea what to do.

This shows how even this series is. Dirk is sick, has bad shooting game and Dallas still wins?

Can we stop with LeBron Jordan comparisons? 8 points in a finals game is a really poor showing for a greatest of all time.

 

[Dachs]

As a rule, I don't really like [anybody]-Jordan comparisons.
