Re: What No NBA Thread!!!

Almost time for tipoff fellas. Burgers and dogs on the grill, gettiing ready to settle into hopefully a good game. It's really a must win for Dallas. Miami goes up 2 - 0, it's over. Dirk needs a big game. Still going to be an uphill climb for Dallas throughout the final series..... C'mon Dallas. Hate to see Miami buy a Championship. Hate to see any team in any league buy one for that matter....

I wanted OKC and Boston so what the hell do I know? Given my past track record, go Miami!

(This should prove as an adequate curse)

During this last timeout we had a raccoon walk up to the house eating birdseed that the birds kicked out of the hanging feeders. Fat thing. Cool to watch tho.

Dallas is looking ok, but it seems that Miami can score at will when they need to. James throws up shots and they drop. Somebody needs to step up and get in the face of Wade. Dirks bent finger doesn't seem to be affecting his shot...

Boy did Miami get lazy in the last 5 minutes or so. I can't believe they let it get away. Dallas was being out played on both ends of the court. What a meltdown by Miami. I think they got a little too confident it was over with 5min to go..... Good for Dallas....... Tied 1 - 1

I agree, WIMUSKY. You have to give some credit to Dallas. They never gave up and played hard.

Congrats to Dallas on that one. Lakers and OKC know all to well about the Mavs eating up a big lead.

Read today that Dallas took major offense to the Lebron/Wade celebration after the 3 pointer to make it a 15 point lead. Bet they don't do that again. Kinda dumb to do it right in front of the Dallas bench.

I understand the hate, WIMUSKY. But Dallas team salary is $88 mil whereas Miami is $67 mil. You will find several teams with a higher salary than Miami. Money didn't make the Heat, the desire for a ring did.

I have less of a problem with the money as I do with the collusion that occurred. I also think the team itself was involved but the NBA allowed it to happen because it was a big money maker for the league. As far as desire for the ring...that translates to desire for the money as well.

My vote goes to Shaq for prez......and Bird for vice. Speaking of Bird, Dirk reminds me of him somewhat.

Interesting fact. Since the finals series has gone to the 2-3-2 format and the games were tied at 1-1, the team that won game 3 is 11-0.

I hope that fact goes to 12-0, Bruce, but I'm the only one around here that has that hope. I also don't mind a little rubbing either if the Heat don't take the championship. :rolleyes:

I don't know a single person that wants Miami to win. Personally, I don't like Dallas that much either but lesser of two evils.

That was a fun game to watch last night.

Even w/o the history of the 3rd game, I think it's pretty much curtains for Dallas since they lost their 1st gme at home. However, all strings get broken. Hopefully, this 3rd game streak will be broke during this series......

Hopefully, Lebron keeps on watching instead of playing. Sure reminds me of last year!
