NBA PLAYOFFS!!!

Great game.

Dallas got what they wanted on the last shot. Dirk 1 on 1. But Haslem played it very well. Tough shot. He missed.

Dallas has to win the next 2.

I thought the refs were bad tonight with alot of those over the back calls on the Heat. Every time Dirk went for a rebound they called over the back. I never like to trash the refs but they helped keep this game closer than it should have been tonight. Dallas had a hard time scoring in the half court offense but they were bailed out a ton by FTs on very iffy calls. I know its tough to call out the refs because of the calls LeBron and Wade get but tonight they werent getting them and the Mavs were and thats why this wasnt a 6 to 8 point game.

Game 4 should be a very good game also. Its damn near a must win for Dallas.

soooo you missed the Wade flop act that gave Miami 2 points? How many points did they win by again?

Lol at LeBron totally differing to Wade in the clutch there at the end

Unbelievable how worthless Terry, Barrea, and Kidd have been shooting wise this series on open jumpers. They didn't miss a fucking shot against LA

They got far less calls than what they normally get especially at home. Dirk flopped all night so wade doing it once is to bad.

That Barrera stretch in the 1st half really hurt the mav's. He was awful that stretch(missed layup, missed ft, missed jumpers, turnover), while Miami was able to score at the other end got a lead, and dallas was fighting back all night.

On Ref's:

I thought Dallas got most of the calls. Every loose ball foul went Chandlers way. More FT's etc.

It seems like a real tough job. All of these players embelish calls now, and that makes it harder, but u would like the refs to only make calls they see, call less overall, and most importantly get more calls right.

but watching on HD, they get so many calls wrong.

tim, even a LeBron nuthugging bandwagon fan like you can admit that this has been all Mr. Wade so far.

As of now, the NBA could not just hand the award to LeBron should Miami win the series. It's not even close right now. LeBron does not need to have a better series than Wade. He just needs to be close to get the award. The NBA won't want to feed the whole LeBron riding Wade's coatails arguement...but James needs to make it look like it could atleast be interpreted by a nuthugger that he was the best player in the series should Miami win. So far, LeBron has been the 3rd best player in the series. Wade, Dirk, Bron.

Anyway, good game. Chalmers is becoming quite the x-factor and right now the Heat are getting in the paint too easy. Dallas is having to work harder for their shots because they lack an inside presence. Missing Haywood is hurting them and guys like Barea, Terry, and Peja are missing the shots they were making all postseason.

Same here although over a 7 game series I think it will even its self out.

Wade has definitely been the best player in the finals so far. He hit clutch shot after clutch shot tonight and I was the 1 who already said if Wade could be the MVP and u are the 1 stuck on this "LEAGUE WANTS LEBRON TO WIN THE MVP SHIT". It doesnt matter to me if Wade wins it or LeBron wins it as long as they win the title. Thats the most important thing. LeBron had an off night tonight but still had 17 points and 9 assists so take it for what it is.

So...how come you're not a Pistons fan?

League does want to get Bron the MVP, if they end up close Bron will get it, a lot of us have agreed on that, but Wade has been the Heats best player all 3 games, so as of now he's clearly the MVP so not much debate.

First off Terry and JJ are hurting the Mavs.


But on that last second shot, I thought Dirk should have stepped into a 3, Haslem gave him room after he caught the ball, he could have walked into a 3. He took "his shot" but his rhythm was all off.

I root for the Pistons alot more than i let on but they are alot of things the Pistons have done the last few years that have made me sick. With the new ownership maybe I can get back on board but with the signings of some of these stiffs the last couple years I really got down on them. The signings of Ben Gordan and Charlie V were absolutely terrible. The drafts they have had over the last 10 years are a joke and it has just been absolutely horrible to watch them. There style is bad to watch and they got into this whining all the time stage. Reason im such a big Lebron fan? I actually got to meet LeBron at a Pistons game a few years back and he was a very cool dude. During shoot arounds he stopped to sign a few autographs and actually signed my daughters T-Shirt. Every since then i have just been a fan of his.

I agree Wade has been the best player for the Heat in this series so far.

Miami needs to win Tuesday to break the Mavs back!!!!

At LA.

Can't say I even watched much of the Indy series. But I do know Chicago won that series 4-1. And yes Rose scored more, and shot a higher %, and also had 2+ more steals and actually 1 bpg more in that series then compared to the ecf. So across the board he was significantly better in that series. A series they won, 4-1.

I did watch the Bulls vs Miami. And what I saw was Rose getting zero room to get a shot off, especially late in the game, when Miami, which had done this in each of the previous series(and I did watch alot of the Celts), shut down the opposing team. And what really made it impressive imo was that a 6' 9" guy was the one shutting him down.

And again, u cannot say Rose was killing the bulls in the previous series, and only pointing to their 3 losses while ignoring their 8 wins. And in those 8 wins, Rose was the engine. By far their dominant offensive player.

Yeah bro, like I said, you can get away with it when it's the fucking Pacers, who finished 10 games under .500 and have zero All-Stars. He shot 37% in that series, and his numbers were almost identical across the board except...4 more pts. But against better teams it's not going to work. They got by against inferior teams, but the trend was there in those series just like the Miami series, off shooting nights with a high number of attempts. Put a player on a team, make him shoot below 38%, give him 20+ shots, watch his team lose. And so he had a couple good games against the Hawks, he also had 3 horrible games, where he shot poorly, higher number of attempts and they lost 2 of those 3, those 3 games he was hurting his team..

This is getting annoying, you def not gonna convince me otherwise and same the opposite way, I don't even care about this shit that much.

I dont even know exactly what u guys are talking about lol????

Rose's poor shooting games during the playoffs hurting his team, ability to get away with them vs inferior teams, not against a quality team like the Heat, but also not saying it was all Miami D since he had poor shooting nights frequently this postseason.

My last post on the issue.

Mavs got fucked tongiht, CHalmers 3 shouldna counted, Im sorry of the big leagues the NBA officiating is a fucking joke

That Doughnahugh (No clue how to spell it) guy, the ref who was fixing games or whatever, has been doing these video blogs where he shows questionable calls, announcing ect. Only seen one vid, but look it up, some shit is pretty shaddy......

27 ppg on 21 spg vs Indy

23 ppg on 24 spg vs Miami.

That is significantly more points, on 3 less shots per game. that is big. plus the steals, the blocks etc.

Sorry the #'s vs Indy are significantly better.

The #'s vs Atlanta are WAY better. almost 30-10 on 45 % shooting.

but ur done, so walk.
