I hope Dirk and team destroy Miami....I'm really going to enjoy that.

[Palpatine Q]

i dont know... miami did a great job geling so fast under the supervision of spo in only one year. He surprisingly adapted really well to the bulls and even seemed to outcoach thibodeaux, it seemed like he wasnt solely relying on the big three to get past rose and his teammates for once, there was somethign more. But is their chemistry strong enough already to defeat a team of "clicking" veterans like the mavs? We could be in for a surprise. Let's see if experience and chemistry can beat youth and pure physicality. It would be real tough for the mavs to lose again... Cause we all know it would have been their last chance.

Heat are all about isos , transition offense, some 3pts here and there -but a lot less relying on 3pts than the mavs who shoot them with more consistency- and a solid defense.

Mavs will have to heavily rely on their 3pts shooters and dirk. Barea and chandler better keep doing what they ve been doing so far, but will they be consistant enough every single game? They also pass the ball very well. It's really a seemingly well balanced faceoff.


To be fair about the heat/bulls series, if the bulls are great on defense, they re severly lacking on offense, with only rose, deng and gibson constantly puting decent numbers. Boozer has been the weakest link so far. He's not the serious second option they were hoping for to support rose's offensive game.

Miami has strong defense and offense, bulls only have a strong defense and lacking offense.
What about the mavs?

The Mavs need to take care of the ball and keep the heat out of transition and fast break opportunities...I think that is the key.

But my gut tells me that Miami just has too much horsepower...they are a BEAST right now. I'm one of the guys who called them bitches and hoped they fell flat.

well, I still think they are bitches, but they are killing people out there

[TK652]

I'm a Dallas fan, live in the area... but you just can't build a champion team around a guy named no-win-sky...  Heat in four.

[ManBearPig...]

being from Chicago, i hope the bulls will win.  but sadly, derrick rose is not michael jordan, and there's no one on the team who could even be compared to pippen.  it's only his 2nd year, he's got time to win a few.

as for lebrick, that cocksmoke afterbirth of a crack pipe, he's a fucking failure.  yeah he can put up points, but it seems like the bulls can drown him out pretty easily.  wade and bosh on the other hand have the bulls figured out.  i never really watched wade play, but the man knows what he's doing.  he's got class on the court, while the rest of the team just looks like a bunch of tattooed gorillas out there.

[polychronopolous]

yeah, it's hard to bet against Miami.

Celtics and Bulls are better than the mavs.  Look at how the inexperienced OKC could be up 3-1 over the Mavs right now.

Hard to believe those mavs beat Miami four times. 

No surprise here.

Dallas has been predicted to lose every single series they have faced thus far.

[Earl1972]

miami will win easily

why any of you ever doubted a team with 2 superstars in lebron and wade and an all star in bosh i will never know, i guess people let wishful thinking cloud their judgment

all they had to do was develop chemistry, hence the slow start

this will probably be their worst team and they will still win the title, they will dominate for the next 4 years

not wishful thinking, just real fans who don't want to hear the BS from media if miami wins.   because the minute it happens, they start selling lebrick as the 2nd coming of Jordan, and he is on his way to a 3-peat and 6 rings.  REALLY FUCKING TIRED OF THAT.  The Kobe shit just got put to rest.  Maybe we get lucky and Dallas outs those fucks.

No they will not win "easily" you moron.  The Mavs have one of the all time best 4 spots that cannot be guarded by anyone.  They also have one of the all time hall of fame 1 spot in Jason Kidd who can easily generate a triple double on any night.  Shawn Marion is one hell of a wing player who is also a great defender and is a threat in the post, out of the post, and from the free throw line.  Don't get me started on Centers, Dallas has two starting centers in Tyson Chandler and Haywood who are both legit 7 footers and will give any team a problem inside. Then lets talk about the bench, Peja, Barrea, and Terry (last years 6th man of the year) who can all drain 3 pointers easily and barrea is lighting fast and a great decision maker.  Finally, the dallas mavericks have both the 3th and 4th all time 3 pointer shooters in Jason Kidd and Peja.   

Dallas wins 4-2

i think he's friends with nasser.

[K-1]

all those WIDE OPEN perimeter baskets chicago is missing since game one and boston missed won't be missed by dallas imo.  If chicago had half a perimeter game they'd be up this series

[Jadeveon Clowney]

Dirk is one efficient mofo...Dude only missed one free throw in the whole freakin 5 game series and he goes to the line alot.  Dude's awesome.

ROFL @ your hopes.

[nosleep]

I don't like either team....but I hate Dallas more. The Heat just have too much fire, too much power. Defensively, they are way too good...offensively, they become stagnate at times but starpower is what's prevailing them against Chicago.

And to think, this is the worse they are going to be....they got an off-season to address the other issues and will be even stronger. More talent, more experience playing with one another.

i'm sure you thought the heat were done when they started out 9 -8

you talk about jason kidd like we're still in the year 2002 hahaha

i will remember this post when the heat win, i see an owning in your future

I got the Heatles in 6. Bookit.

Go Mavs

u mean the team that swept the defending champs has no chance? 

[Doug_Steele]

the Lakers had problems as the first game ended.

[polychronopolous]

Give me Dirk over anyone else in the league when the game is close with 2 minutes to go.

That last game where he missed the first three and then calmly cashed his second opportunity from about 25 feet out everyone in the arena knew he was gonna drill that shot because they have seen him do it a hundred times before.

If miami gets ahead early then they will be tough to beat but in a close game I'll take the mavs everytime with Nowitski and Kidd taking the last shots.

No tard, i am aware the nba is an 82 game season and that 50% of the league get into the nba playoffs.  If you have watched any of the preceding games to the finals you would concur that jason kidd has played phenomenal defense and hit clutch shots when needed.  If the heat do win the series, it will be because of ridiculously monstrous performances by either dwayne wade or lebron.  There will be no ownings you simply picked a frontrunning team.

[obtuse_waiter]

dirk finally is showing a little bird ness

if he started to pass more and drive mroe wow

could be best

shows how huge number of shots and misses are gunner durant kobe james wade etc.  inefficient

[closeline]

fuck dirk and the mavs.

bron, bosh, wade, haslam who gonna stop them?

are negros allowed to play in the nba wowadays?

[Natural Man]

dirk's supporting cast seriously will have to step up every single game. I doubt the heat will choke, they re finally able to win games in the last minutes against serious opponents which shows they re finally mature enough and up to the real challenges , imo the momentum is clearely on their side right now.

I predict a long series with both teams winning all their games at home and losing the away ones.

Miami in 7, cause last game is in miami.
