I think he's averaging less than 20ppg on around 40FG% in the 8 Finals games he played

The late game adjustments must be from Dwane Casey. Hire him for the Raps!

The dude blocks shots and rebounds like a C. I guess that 6'11'' wingspan or whatever it is, sure comes in handy.

It's too bad Wade choked it at the end there, because that block on Chandler was game-winning worthy. Dirk with a fever and busted finger fooled Haslem on that lay-up.

Mavs need Barea to wake up if they have any hope, though.

I'm getting my wish. I simply wanted a very close series and each game decided on the last posession or two. Sure enough, the last 3 games in a row have come down to the final posession. I love seeing the adjustments these teams are making. It really feels like the coaches are playing chess against one another.
I'm still going with my initial pick of Heat in 6, but at this point I'm just happy that this has been so entertaining and that we have at least 2 more games before the season is officially over (/cry).

Great Series...it could easily have been 3-1 for either team or even over at this point.......Im pulling hard for dallas, as much at people marvel at the Miami D (don't get me wrong its very good) Dallas has been bricking open shot after open ****, If they can get their **** together and lbj continues to be locked down by Kidd lol...they could pull this one out

His nuthuggers will defend him no matter what.

Like JVG said, they should try to get this garbage out of the game

They should but all great player flop or make it look like there was contact when there wasn't any...See Dirk last game, he doesn't get touch, put an akward looking shot that would make Bargs proud, and refs think ohh he must have gotten hit, foul call.

LBJ has been playing way sub-par in the last 3 games, especially the last 2, and especially in contrast to the previous series, or up until the playoffs.

LBJ definitely got them to the finals, when Wade was struggling, but Wade has been carrying this team in the finals so far.

Miami's D is based on having three guys who will never foul out. LeBron can basically collapse with impunity, so it's like having two centers. But Dallas is catching him reaching a lot. He's been off-balance on the perimeter lots of times.

LeBron doesn't need to be doing that. He can just power through guys, and generate the contact to get the foul that way.

let the lebron hate flow for it is deserved right now. even in his supposed surrendering in game 5 last year, never have I seen this guy look so passive before. I'd honestly rather see him chuck his way to 20 points than pass the ball at every touch. dallas has definitely played championship caliber defense when it matters, but that's no excuse. lebron looks like a friggin role player out there...can't even crack double digits in points? pretty damn disappointing when you know what he's capable of.

Definitely. He was invisible, practically. But, I'm sure he'll have a big game on Thursday.

ive watched soccer from around the world, international basketball, the vancouver canucks, and manu ginobili, and ive never seen as much flopping as i have from the big 3 this year. its amazing. and its not like they were really known for flopping before this. maybe were just paying more attention. someone should put together a collection of all the animated gifs of the diving.

Dirk puts up awkward shots contact or no contact. But LeBron? Him, Chris Bosh, and other dudes need to be put in jail for that disgraceful head snap back that they do. It's equally as disgraceful as soccer player holding their face when nothing came close to their face.

I thought he refs stopped calling the wade and lebron flops in game 3, but I guess it was just those who were officiating game 3. The first quarter of this game was frustrating to watch for someone who wants to see the Mavs win.
And people should remember how they went lights out in a couple games against the Lakers. If they start hitting some shots early and take a 10+ point lead, I don't think the heat can catch up (without some beneficial calls from the refs).

Who wins?
