I thought Miami were solid last night, but nothing more. Wade was obviously sensational but James was far quieter than in the first two games. Dallas were extremely poor - Chandler seems to suffer without Haywood as back up, especially when Mahinmi wouldn't stop fouling. Nowitzki is an absolute beast.

Tend to agree, Miami weren't great at all. I do think Haslem is making a big difference though, his numbers aren't big but just his presence on the defensive end is stifling the Mavs.

ESPN Films re-runs on ESPN Classic every night at 1030ish and 4ish each night(time varies). I urge inside man and the rest of you to watch the crossover(story of Iverson's court case) Wed night and Winning Time(the knicks v reggie miller) Thursday night. They're all good to watch, even if you're not a huge fan of the particular sport.

LETS GO HEAT !!

Wow, how bad was James last night?! And where did Bosh go in the 2nd half, after an excellent 1st half? Invisible.

Shaping up to be an absolute classic series.

It is isn't it? Can't see where it's going to go at the moment, but my initial thoughts are that the Heat's losses have been their own fault, rather than being blitzed by Dallas. SO if they correct their mistakes, then i see(and hope) that ring being on LBJ's finger.

Lebron has done well as Wade's sidekick. Shame he'll never win one on his own eh.

Dallas unbelievable 3 point shooting



Knew Barea was due a big game, definetely deserved that victory. Chandler and was brilliant too, Terry hitting some clutch buckets.

The whole of the world (apart from Heat fans) wants to see them fail. I have noticed how we had not one heat fan on this forum the past few years, then a few pop up when Lebron 'takes his talents to south beach".

Didnt even know the thread existed to be honest... but hey ho...

LETS GO HEAT !!!

Has anybody ever bought gear off NBA.com's store? Considering getting a hoody or something along those lines, but I've not looked too far into it, i.e. price, shipping, etc. Is there a way to view prices in pounds instead of dollars? And what's the general shipping cost?

Adds upto quite a bit with the shipping.

shipping costs are ridiculous mate, and in terms of sizing they can vary. bought two of the same t-shirts but with different teams on, one way too small one way too big, i bought xl in both. they can be good, but be careful and consider all options before buying.

Get on ebay. if you search enough, usually find it cheaper.

I want a couple of custom hoodies, mate. I've not looked at shipping but it occasionally advertises free shipping, but I guess that's only in the US? Either way, I can't go to Ebay for it.

I'm going to take my talents to South beach......



say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Told y'all weeks ago the Mavs would win it.

I don't think they'll defend it, though. A bit of a last hurrah, if you will. Was a good game, JET was on fire. WTF was up with LeBron? How can a player that good become so passive after the previous two series? Also, why did the Heat not go to Bosh more often? He was playing efficiently but it just seemed to be jumpers from the perimeter.

Can't do it when it counts. Guess which NBA player has the most succesful shots to tie or take a lead inside the final two minutes of a game since 2005...?

I am guessing it's Carmelo or Amar'e, as I imagine their stats are the only ones of interest to you



All joking aside, is it Kobe?

1. Melo 15
2. Kobe 14

That's why he turned to the Grizzlies bench after killing them and said "I do this". Great in the clutch and with the game in his hands. It may be the final minute, not two.

Shots to tie or win a game last season in the final 10 seconds.
Dwyane Wade: 0-4 (0%)
Lebron James: 1-8 (12.5%)
Paul Pierce: 1-3 (33.3%)
Kobe Bryant: 1-3 (33.3%)
Carmelo Anthony: 4-6 (66.7%)
Dirk Nowitzki: 3-4 (75%)

Where are the heat fans?

You've got a lot to say, considering it's not your team that won, come to think of it you didn't get far. You're acting like a city fan when united lost the CL final. I expected better of you Nik.

I predicted the Mavs would win. My team never had players predicting championships or mocking other players. Just enjoying that Lebum whingeing, trying to catch a ride to a title. FAIL. We'll be okay when we have more time to gel 2-2 in the regular season. We had no Billups in the playoffs pretty much and we have cap room as well (barring a hard cap in the new CBA). We have the purest score in the league and the most clutch player, learn how to play D on a consistent basis and we won't be far off.


"I'm taking my talents to south beach" ha ha ha ha ha.

In other news, espn 6pm every night for the next few weeks. Hardwood classics.

Bulls v Lakers 1991 Game five tonight. You'll get to see the difference between LBJ and Jordan, great as a team the bulls then as were the Lakers.

Heat fans still here, obviously very dissapointed but Im sure we will be back.

You cant knock Dallas in all fairness, there 3 point shooting in the last 3 games was immense. Doubt anyone could have stopped them.
