Fuck the Bay for taking away one of best commentators still out there.[/quote]
Whoo-hoo, maybe he can bring my team some respect and WINS!
Doug Collins and Mark Jackson are two of my favorite commentators.
^^^I’d add Hubie Brown and Van Gundy to that list.
eventually that MIA defense gets some credit for all those wide-open misses by DAL. its starting to look pretty uphill for DAL. imo.
“I think they do a good job on our shooters,” Dirk Nowitzki said. “I think our ability to spread the floor and shoot is a big reason why we made it to the Finals, to really spread the ball around and shoot and make timely and big shots. But for some reason, they’re so long and athletic on the perimeter that they’re able to swarm me and my post-ups, and when we swing, they’re still athletic and quick enough to get to our shooters on the weak side and run them off or at least contest them.” (Adande on espn.com)
I’m sorry, Mavs fans and MISTA WHITE FLASH, but this ain’t no country club shit…you see, out HERE, the wind can push the ball…6 to 8 inches to DA LEFT, BABY (2:13):
^^^ HE’s in jail!
Who dominates tonights game for the Heat? Wade or James?
I say James.
^ I’m with you on that one. But I thought that last game lol. Of course I’d prefer them both to go 5-20 and have 15 points a piece lol. And Dirk go off for like 50 lol.

People were saying the same thing about boston and chicago, that they were just missing open shots. People just hate the heat/lebron and won’t give them any credit. There was a columnist on ESPN radio yesterday and he called Lebron a nice “glue” guy haha. That being said I think the Mavs are going to shoot their way to a win tonight.

^^^I see what you’re trying to say, but it makes zero sense. Dallas is missing WIDE OPEN SHOTS. That has nothing to do with anyone but Dallas. Blowing open layups is 'causeof Miami’s D? Having 3 full seconds to shoot a wide open shot at several different points in the game and still missing is 'cause of Miami’s D? Throwing the ball over the basket on a WIDE OPEN dunk attempt is 'cause of Miami’s D? Use your head, man. Maybe the pressure of the situation is getting to them, but Miami’s D isn’t.[/quote]
Dallas’ 3 main gunners (Kidd, Barea, Terry) did not actually shoot all that well from 3 this year. They just simply aren’t elite shooters, even though the looked like it through 3 rounds. I posted their season 3P% above. This is part of the reason they are missing open shots.
I’ll give you the missed shots at the rim, though.

It will continue to be Wade because he has by far the easier matchup. The whole philosophy of the Heat is you can slow down 1 guy, not both. LBJ did score or assist on over half their 2nd half points last game though.

You know what is crazy, Jay Kidd is 3rd all time in 3 pointers made in the history of the NBA lol how he pulled that off I have no idea.

^^^Thanks. I know man, he and Beaubois would come in real handy right now. I’m still holding on to hope though. GO MAVS!!![/quote]
I thought Beaubois was active last game, and they just didn’t want to mess with what’s been a successful rotation? Maybe I’m wrong.
Part of it was once Roddy Buckets went out, Barea played really well and you can only have so many tiny guards in your rotation (Kidd, Terry, Barea). I personally love Beaubois though.

Roddy B is cleared to play, he just isn’t 100%. Carlisle tried to work him in during the season and the kids confidence definitely took a hit while he was injured. I think at this point we should try Caron though, Peja isn’t doing shit besides getting owned on D and missing wide open 3’s.
Miami wins tonight 90-85. Wade again dominates whom ever Dallas puts in front of him.

This. He’s old and shoots alot of 3’s.
I was a huge Jason Kidd fan when he played for the Nets and loved that lineup they had (Kidd/Kenyon/Jefferson). But fuck, that guys missed a shitload of 3’s even back then. He’s not afraid to miss the 3. Look at his 3 point percentage over the years. Is pretty crappy for someone who shoots them as often as he does.
