Official 2011 NBA Finals Thread: Dallas Mavericks are the 2011 NBA Champions. VOL: KidDirk get rings

Good game by the Heat. We closed out pretty well.

Hope Dirk is at least 90%, winning against an injured Dirk wouldn't mean as much.

Miami is going to continue to play great defense. Do you really believe Miami is going to shoot under 40% in the next upcoming games?

Highly unlikely.

That's the funny thing, the starters shot really good from the field, it wasn't until the bench came in that things started falling apart. Barea and Peja combined for 1-11 and they had hands down the easiest looks for anyone in the game. Barea's shots were all either 15 footers open or layups/floaters he easily makes, Peja had three WIDE open three's he usually knocks down.
I wouldn't say Miami will shut them down defensively either, Mavs have proven they can't really be stopped in half-court. They just can't be outrebounded by that much AND have such a terrible night from the bench and I think both of those things will turn around for Game 2.

I bet that will continue. LeBron and D. Wade didn't score over 29 against Chicago's defense so what makes you think Dirk is going off for like 50 against the Heat defense?

Did you watch the first half?

Dallas was brilliant on defense in the first half. All they were doing is settling for jumpshots.

A lot of our loss comes down to rebounding, they didn't shoot that much better than us for the game.

We missed wide open shots we normally make. You can't be mad at that. Our own fault.

I don't think he has to, if Dirk can Average 27-32 PPG for this series, he puts his team in a great position to win.
We won't see anymore 40+ point explosions out of him in this series so everyone can just put those expectations away.

Also why are people worried about Dirk's torn tendon? Maybe if it was on his shooting hand I'd be a little worried but on his off hand? That in no way affects his shot.

I don't think it should affect dirk THAT much. Kobe could still shoot with a torn tendon on his shooting hand.
