Youd rather have Wade and Amare rather than LBJ and Wade? Woooow.. Amare? The same Amare who doesnt play D? If it was Amare and Wade then the Heat wouldnt be in the Finals.. The Heat have used D and really clamp down on 4th qtr D to get here.. These things are Amares weaknessess..

No, he'd rather have Lebron+Amare than Wade+Amare.

Eh, it seems my English has abandoned me some. Now, here it is again:

I prefer Wade+Amare to LBJ + Amare.

Also hypothetically, I prefer Paul/Amare to LBJ/Bosh. As to defense, Dirk has never been viewed as a better defender than Amare. So, it's really more a coaching and roster issue.

I really think the Mavs pretty much handed the Heat the trophy last game. The Heat have shown if we come to play for 48 minutes, you have no chance beating us.
The Mavs need to convincingly win the next 2 games. All the games may have been close but it is also obvious the heat is in control and definitely the better team.

The only way Lebron James gets 5 rings...is if he buys a tee shirt with the Olympic logo on it. :p The only MVP he can get during the Playoffs is parked at the Toyota dealership. :D Lebron doesn't wear a headband, he wears a "co-head" band. ;) (all 3 jokes are originals)

Thank you, I'll be here all night! :)

Actually...that would be exactly what happens. The media would be in a frenzy. I agree. I just have this feeling your going to see another Dirk take over in a close game.......type game.......tonight.

I went and got some Bud Light for the game, I'm gonna try and enjoy the Finals today. Even if the Heat is up by 15, the Mavs like to make a run at the end.

Dallas needs to figure out an answer for D Wade. The problem is their only good perimeter defender is Matrix. So, if Dallas decides to slide him over to Wade one-on-on, well, guess who's open.....

Dallas also has to start hitting shots. Miami played good defense last game, but they collapsed pretty hard on some inside-out plays, which gave the likes of Kidd, Barrea and even Dirk open looks from 3.

Dallas wins if they get contribution from someone not named Dirk. They need to hit open looks, especially from 3 and need to score over 100. Dallas cannot win defensive slug fests on a consistent basis. It only plays right into Miami's hands.

That being said, I think Dallas takes this by a narrow margin.

Wow Terry is in already with 6 left in the first, and he came in right after the midget hit a nice lay up. Coach must have saw something, I do trust the Mavs coach like that.

how many times can Dallas get down 9 in the fourth quarter and comeback?

I really thought Bron took a major step in these playoffs, but I gotta be honest, he keeps up with this act he's done in the Finals much longer and dude deserves criticism as a shrinking violet when the chips are down. and if they actually LOSE this series... oh boy. he better be prepared for a shitstorm of well deserved criticism.

Go Mavs, with Miami not having a coach it looks possible (but I have been drinking). Miami will still win it at home but tonight was fun...the Queen showed up. Dirk's a man.
