[toughmoney]

Mavs were finished before the game started with that struggle win game 6 they had at home.

Dirk getting killed off the bounce out there.



His positional defensive value isn't showing right now

 

[bilboshmangins]

mavericks acting like desagna diop is going to walk out and save the day, they need to get it together!

Another annoyance with NBA officiating. OD amount of replays which mitigates the flow of a game.

And the replay system itself is flawed as well.

They need to have a ref or 2 sitting in a booth with a TV in front of them so they can just radio the correct call down on questionable calls like out of bounds and goal-tending. it would be so much faster and easier

 

[gil23]

i want a close game, more entartaining

 

[dman14]

yikes, spurs gonna drop 70 in the first half :x

Calderon gonna have nightmares for weeks of Patty Mills.

 

[jcs11702]

Why is Vince Carter taking all the shots? Is this 2001?

 

[ballinsam23]

Its ok classless KG and old *** pierce will get destroyed by Miami. Wouldnt be surprised if every game is a blowout. Lebron will retire these bums.

I'd give the Nets a edge if they had Lopez, but now? Hell no.

Knicks fans salty lol

Just because I dont like another team makes me a salty Knicks fan? LOL that NT logic.

 

[dman14]

mark cuban might as well get fined
jvg is on point regarding offensive players jumping into defenders during jumpshots

 

[gil23]

haha foul ??? he jump into him and he got the call

 

[shatterkneesinc]

spurs started the trend known as flopping

 

[jcs11702]

Cuban getting that checkbook ready. You already know he's gonna say something about the refs.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

 

How much HGH will your boy inject through the series?

He won't need to he's had more then a week to inject as much as hes wanted

 

Hell ******* no.

The Finals last year wouldn't have even reached Game 7 and that's if they they got past the Pacers.

Spo matched Pop's adjustments step-for-step. That was a real thing man, if you don't want to buy into that I don't know what to tell you.

You crazy. They had LEBRON WADE AND BOSH b. I'm not buying that. At the end of the day in the NBA this is a make or miss league. No amount of schematics is going to make up for the fact that in the NBA, in the playoffs, especially in the playoffs, things dwindle down to a half court, pick and roll iso game and Miami has D Wade and Lebron two of the greatest ever at that, at their disposal.

No coach wouldn't be successful with that. 2011, 2012, 2013, they had Lebron Bosh and Wade. You literally have to win when you have that amount of elite level talent. Hell Lebron alone would make Woodson look like an awesome coach. It is what it is.

Late response but look at the 2011 Finals. The easy narrative is to say Dirk played out of his mind and the role players did their job to perfection. And Raymone choked. That's what stands out and but there was more to it than that.

When Rick Carlisle went zone...Miami literally had NO answer for it. Spoelstra did not know how to beat it. They settled for perimeter shots and LBJ never got placed on the block like he often does post-2011.

From what I remember, the switch to JJ in the starting lineup was a big move as well.

Spo has grown a lot as a coach. He's leaps and bounds better than he was in 2011 and utilizes his talent in a much, MUCH better way. Went from getting outcoached in his first Finals to keeping even with one of the GOAT coaches.

And if Raymone couldn't make Mike Brown look good...no chance he does that for Sn.

Vlade Divac and Reggie Miller were the pioneers of the art of flopping
