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.

There was a stretch about the 6 minute to 3 minute mark that LeBron was acting like the ball was a hot potato.

He scurr'd

I thought the exact same thing. He passed on open shots and didn't even think about putting the ball on the floor.

Really when you think about it, the only other guys on the floor except Wade who wanted the ball in their hands and weren't afraid to shoot were Chalmers and Eddie House.

Like Coach said, everyone else was playing Hot Potato.

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.

Classy move by Wade shaking hands after the series. I didn't see Lebron doing it, because he seemed to rush off the court and the camera followed him to the locker room. Not saying he didn't do what Wade did, they just didn't show it. Anyone see him congratulating the other team after the game?

Also looked like Bosh broke down walking into the locker room a couple of times and was visibly crying.

#**997** 06-12-2011, 10:39 PM

James congratulated Kidd.

RuPaul crying? Shocking.

#**998** 06-12-2011, 10:42 PM

Jason Kidd turned back the clock in game 5 and 6.

He really deserved a championship. He's been a fantastic player for over 20 years.

Definitely. Happy for him.

Definitely agree. And Dirk Nowitzki makes the NBA worth watching. Exudes class and couldn't be happier for him, especially after '06.
