That blocking call against barea was one of the worst I have seen.

10 point margin with 2 and a half to go.

Nice to see Lebron nut up down 12 with under 2 minutes left and start taking some 3's.....

Beautiful. Dirk may not have had a great night, but he made the buckets when they counted most. No matter how much talent you assemble, you have to have a closer to win the title. LeBron will never be that guy.

As a fan, it was a very exciting series to watch. Dallas was the better team and ultimately made more plays when it counted.

Very happy that punk b.itch didn't get a ring.

Miami will be very tough next year...if there is a next year.

Coaching was the big difference in this series. I think the price of styling gel in Miami is about to go up.

What more proof do you need? They aren't winning it. Period. He's a choker and it rubbed off on Wade.

No shot.

Oh please. The big difference was that the Mavs had a guy who found ways to score in the final six minutes and the Heat didn't. What the hell did Spoelstra do wrong?

He left Lebron in the game. Hell if all he was going to do was pass the rock, he could have left Bibby in the lineup.

I didn't say it was spoelstra's fault although I did say he got outcoached. Carlisle made some great adjustments and ultimately that was the difference. Going zone was huge on the defensive end and going to the high pick and roll was the difference on the other end.

You said it was 'the big difference', which is insanity. Carlisle's a great coach, but Spoelstra did nothing wrong in this series.

I agree. Carlisle was a mad genius. Barea started more games in the finals series than he had the entire season. When things were not going well, Carlisle completely changed his entire rotation. He put Cardinal in the rotation and got big minutes from him, Peja was completely nailed to the bench. It all worked like a charm for him. Stevenson played much better coming off the bench and had a great shooting series...over 50 pct from 3. It was a great series to watch and an even greater result. The Mavs played with zero fear.
