It will be nice to see Pat Riley and Shaq back on top again, and also a wonderful story having Dawayne Wade, who is very classy.

But by far the best thing about it is the NBA will be over for 5 months. Hooray!
I have not followed the NBA in years, But to see the owner of the Dallas Mav's lose at home after beening up 2 games to 0 is more than what I could of asked for. Its like Kobe being caught with another unwilling girl friend.

I thought Cuban took the loss very well and was gracious in defeat applauding the play of the better team, the Miami Heat.

I'm glad for Shaq, Wade and Riley and the rest of the Heat, but even more glad the NBA is over with for 5 months.

Tim I was gonna post but you can just put me down for exactly what you said. At least now we get to pure baseball season with Wimbledon also coming up. I really love summer when the grass is where all the action is.

Mark Cuban is one of the good things that has happened to the NBA.
Yes he is arrogant, and a jerk, but he bought a horrible team and produced a contender. He was also applauding Miami's effort after the game was over. The Mavs are now solid with Avery as coach. Avery is the type of guy that does not give up. They will be a force next year.

Unfortunately for Avery, there is a guard named D. Wade that is as composed and tough minded as any young guard I have ever seen. And he is a basketball player with a football body. The guy is amazing. A real asset to the NBA. Guys like Iverson should look back at their career and realize what it means to come to practice and be a model of composure for the TEAM. A little late now though.

The guy is a Godsend for Mr. Stern and he knows it.

Honestly, I thought it would go seven games, but that the Heat would win the 7th game. I was wrong. Glad the Heat won. They really do seem to play as a "team" rather than rely on one dude. Even though the dude they have can be relied upon.

I wonder how or why the League allowed this to end in 6 games? Losing out on all that revenue from a game 7? We all know this league is all a bunch of smoke and mirrors, I am completely in shock this thing was allowed to be over in 6. But very glad too. I hate the NBA.

Guess they wanted to have the parade by this weekend. That is all everyone is talking about around here.

Only watched it because my husband was watching and everyone around here was talking about it. Not a big NBA fan myself. I like Baseball and horses. Some football is ok, just not in large doses.
