some of the quotes here are f-in hilarious
"The only reason she had to sleep with Rashard is because Lebron is in love with D Wade. "
"Is Lebron too rough for her? I guess she prefers a man who doesn't choke! "

BASED DIRK.
This is one of the first years I've actually followed the NBA playoffs and I've actually found it incredibly interesting and entertaining. I'm generally a fan of sports and follow pretty much all other mainstream sports (as well as Halo and SC2 esports!).
Anyways, been really backing the Mavs and I was pumped up while watching the closing minutes of tonight's game, haha. Let's go Mavs, take a game in Miami!

This is how I look at the rest of the finals in SC terms:
Including today this was a ZvT Bo3.
Zerg just won on a zerg favored map. The next two maps are terran favored. It isn't easy but that is two chances to pull out a single win. All about heart at this point.
I haven't felt like this since Savior was in his prime playing ZvT on ridiculous maps.

Nobody likes the heat, and the mavs even have the moral advantage, it seems... ;___;

Missed the game... I guess both teams decided to play offense? I'll have to find a video of this before game 6.

It should be up on espn3.com for the next 12 or so hours.

If i was Spoelstra i would just play Bron for the first three quarters and then bench him for the last. You just cant give him that kind of pressure.

Actually, the next two games are being played on neutral ground: Miami. Like in the Super Bowl.
Lebron had a lot of really good assists... and some crappy jump shots.

Dallas won, but I dislike HOW they won. Jason Terry had no business running down the clock to then jack up a 3 from that deep. Dirk's "rainbow" shot earlier was a really bad possession too. Their defense was pretty bad, yet LeBron bailed them out when he started to shoot "hero" jumpers (I don't get why he did that at the very end, Mia had tied the game by passing well out of double teams). The DAL bench, minus Terry, was in-existent.
At the end of the day this 3-2 DAL lead feels like a great show from Dirk, but also lots of luck + help from the refs. This is nothing like the solid Lakers, Celtics, SA or even DET teams that won championships. Sure, those teams got lucky too at times, but they didn't play sloppy defense only to RELY on jacked up 3 pointers night in and night out. At the end of those seasons I felt the "better" team had won. This season, whatever happens in Miami... I have some reservations. It just doesn't feel like "the right way to play basketball" somehow.

To be fair, this was the only game like that. The other four games both teams were playing some pretty nasty defense and playing good team basketball.
Also, for those of us still wondering where LeBron's aggressiveness has been disappearing to, this is an observation I made yesterday and then I looked for it (and found it again) today. He attacks the rim early in the game, but if he misses his shot/doesn't draw contact on his first few attempts he just stops going for it. Still not sure why but that seems to be the pattern.

Aw, that's just mean, all those loyal seats came to every game last season, and got there early, too.

Should be benched more in the 4th. Lebron is too heavy for Wade to carry

LOL. Clearly there is only 1 true way to win.

If you are interested in reading a pretty dramatic article regarding LeFraud/LeBrick/LeChoke, then Adrian Wojnarowski got you hooked up:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Aq6g2R9uFnHnFtayslvnN_.8vLYF?slug=aw-wojnarowski_lebron_james_nba_finals_game5_061011
These Dallas Mavericks go to great lengths to mess with him, hurling insults and insinuations with regularity that they never would’ve dared with different superstars. Why? Because they believe it messes with his mind. They believe the words will fester within him, keep him thinking when he ought to be reacting. Terry says James can’t guard him, and so far he’s been right. DeShawn Stevenson(notes) essentially called him a quitter in Game 4. Shawn Marion(notes) appeared to call him much worse on the floor, too.

Damn, this is such a good series.
Couldn't believe LBJ has a TD when I looked at the stats afterwards... Definitely in the JaVale McGee stakes..
