There can only be one...

The Dallas Mavericks are the luckiest team in the world. They should invest in some lotto tickets. Who even considered this sorry ass team to be in the finals. They've won their way into the finals with a lot of luck. The lakers if didnt have any personal issues they would have eaten the Mavs up in 6 or 7.

GO miami.... i want Lebron James to win his first title!

Pick 3:

a) I'm a really bad troll

b) I really don't know anything about basketball until I get onto a message board

c) I didn't watch the NBA playoffs up to this point

d) I mistakenly fucked a tranny in Dallas a few years ago and have hated the place ever since

e) I'm still butt hurt that my beloved yellow turds got man handled before they could even reach the conference finals

This is the quite honestly the most F******G idiotic thing I've read in quite some time. Win or lose in the Finals, Mavs were the best team to come out of the WC this year PERIOD.

Oh ya Dirk (1st ballot HoF) >>> Pau Gasol.

Haters gonna Hate.

LBJ is one of, if not the best player in the league.

DW is right up there, and Bosh is a great player that is having a hard post season.

Where were all these bandwagon fans when the Mavs were losing?

Flopping should lead to an automatic 1 game suspension. It's bullshit and ruins the game.

So is the opinion of the Houston-based commentators above or below 75% of the strength of your argument?

In your eyes, is there a distinction between making an actual foul look more dramatic (intentionally or unintentionally) and creating a foul by deliberately making body movements to create a false sense of contact?

Besides the obvious answer, the latter situation is a pre-meditated action. They drive to the basket and try to create contact, which I have no problem with. The issue comes when they create their own contact; It's the same thing as a soccer player falling down and acting hurt. Instead of continuing to drive to the basket, attempting to draw legitimate contact, and getting an and 1, they anticipate that there's going to be contact and they contort their bodies in a way as to deceive. I understand the importance of drawing fouls to get into the bonus and drawing fouls to get certain players into foul trouble, but you are blind to the ridiculousness because you are a Miami fan, simple as that.

This issue in the league, which seems to be getting worse and worse every year, has just really hit home for me and many others because of the fact that it's happening to our team and it happening in the Finals. I'm not saying that it's necessarily affecting the outcome of the series or anything like that, it's just really painful to watch. Call me a cry baby all you want.

What? I never made any argument about anything in this thread, in fact I actually agree with you on the whole flopping thing! What I found funny is how you make it seem like thats all the Heat do, as if thats the only reason why they made it this far. I've seen the same BS from both sides as well as every other team in the NBA, there isn't a rule on it so of course players are going to take advantage of that but don't make it seem like the Heat are the cause of the problem. No one is calling you a cry baby here...

Bron's showing his true colors...I get that not everyone has their shot everynight...so then be a leader, hustle...get 15 rebounds and 12 assists and 5 blocked shots...

Plain and simple he is a selfish player and only plays when he wants to...the Miami faithful are all praying that he decides to show up tomorrow

Help me out with this.

Should a thread be created for teams that are having trouble winning?
Human nature tells me that might be one dud of a thread.

Throughout sports history teams/individuals get on a roll of winning and it then comes to an end. Then someone/team else comes along and does it...repeat.

A dynasty does not last forever.

Out of all the talent in the western division and the Mavs made it..
They are tied with an extremely talented team..
Is that luck?

BTW: What the heck was Stevenson thinking? "Lebron checked out in game 4" Dumb ass.

Ol' Charles.

Charles Barkley: Miami Heat 'Have The Worst Fans'
by Sean Keeley • Jun 8, 2011 11:13 PM EDT

Charles Barkley and fans of the Miami Heat already have what can be described as a tenuous relationship.

That situation isn't likely to change now that Sir Charles has called Heat fans the worst in the NBA.

"Yeah they have the worst fans. No question. It's not even loud in there. You're at the game and you are like, 'Man this place isn't even loud.' At least when you go to Chicago, it's loud in there, it's crazy down in Dallas but it's not even loud in Miami."

Lest you think Barkley's disdain is strictly for fans of the team, fear not. He's bothered by the actual team as well:



"They just a whiny bunch and I can't root for them."

stevenson and lebron go way back with this feud. nothing special.

[gonzo]

^ Oh I know about their little thing. Wizards days for Stevenson I think.

Why throw gasoline on an ember though? The last thing Dallas needs is for him to flip a switch brought on by a mouthy opponent.

Just let him stay where he was mentally.

Huge game for both sides this evening.
