lol @ Lebron's pregame speech about leaving it all on the floor, followed by his disappearing act.

I guess LeBron was exhausted before the opening tip :lol:

Mavs just win with Lebron scoring less than 10 points..lol..this was just a show to get the ratings up again. Serious is over in 6 games as i predicted. Heat will win the next and come home for the right championship parade...lol...not once during the series do you feel like Dallas is going to take over and dominate. Now if they still manage to win without dominating then all kudos to them. Lebron gets 40 next game..book it...

Well if I can see the mavs beat the heat soundly with all of the big 3 scoring 20 pts or more, then I'll be convinced. Right now it's still anybody's game for the remainder of the series

Every team gives that speech before every game. A player, a coach. Usually we only see highlights of the the team that wins. Or we see the pre-game speeches of both teams, before the game.

Still hilarious

LeBron is a great player but geez...the guy has almost no midrange offensive game. If he doesn't get to the rack, that's like 85% of his scoring weapons gone. Wade OTOH at least has a reliable jumper from about 17-18 feet.

Honestly, I keep trying to talk myself out of hating the Heat. I keep trying to give them a break because no doubt they are some terrific players and hey it's a free world right? Why shouldn't they play together.

But then something like that series of flop videos happens and I go right back to thinking "Screw them. I hope Dallas kicks their whiny selfish self-satisfied asses!"

I'm re watching the game again on NBA TV Canada and it's half way into the second and from opening tip I've seen 6 flops from Miami.

When Joakim Noah said "its going to be real Hollywood down there" and Wade also said it during the Big 3 Intro Party, they really meant every sense of the word.

You can say the same for Kidd turning the ball over and Barea missing wide open layups all series. Neither team has played up to their potential with the exception of the first half of game one imo.

Did you mean to leave out the second part? Because for me that is kind of the point...

If the Mavs win the next game this will become a very interesting series.

Go Mavs Go!

Hobbit needs to step his game up and stop missing easy lay ups. I know he hit 2 incredibly hard ones yesterday but then he missed 2 incredibly easy ones too.

yea i meant to leave out the second part. I hate them for a different reason for them flopping. I just think every team flops it's a matter of who can get away with most.

Barea sure has missed a lot of layups. Classic million dollar moves 10 cents finishes.

Yep, you can tell that the Heat's incredible length has made it a lot tougher for him to score around the rim.

Who wins?
