Who's watching it with me. My prediction was the Mavs in 6. I can't stand Riley anyway. Hasn't won in 18 years and I don't want to see him get one. Plus I like Dirk and Avery Johnson. This game one is a good one so far.

Wade is awsome. He just has those basketball instincts that very few have.

We'll see about that Bear, Wade is special, but we will now see how special he really is. I like Wade, so I am looking forward to this series.

I just made that comment after seeing him make an unreal pass that nobody else would have attempted. He then make a steal based on savy anticipation. Like I said, Mavs will win. But Wade is fun to watch.

I'm with Boers, Cuban acts like a frat boy. The Heat owner is so much more mature.

Seriously, I'll take the Mavs in 7.

Let's do it for Johnny!

This just delays the obvious. No way the Mavs lose this series. They gave game 3 away.

It's always gotta be racial with you.

Anyone know how the ratings are doing for the NBA Finals ?

nothing

Game 5

That wasn't a foul on Wade to end the game. Avery wanted a time out after the second free throw but his player called it. I still think the Mavs win this. They will take the next two in Dallas.

I wonder how Stan Van Gundy is feeling about now?

Ya know what. The Heat wouldn't have won it all without Riley. I don't like the guy but he did a hell of a job winning 4 straight after being down 2-0. The Heat got some breaks but they deserve the title. Shaq was far from the star. But everybody seemed to think Kobe would win one without Shaq and Shaq wouldn't win one again. Myself included. Shaq is lucky as hell to go from Kobe to Wade. But Wade was by far the star of this finals. Shaq had more to do with the 3 Lakers title then he did with this Heat title.

Yeah but Nas, Shaq basically got to dictate where he would go. He wasn't gonna go to a cold weather city. He said that. Maybe the Clippers could have got him. Maybe even Dallas but not to many teams were even in the running.

Very good call Bear. I didn't think Wade had it in him but he proved me wrong. Shaq still hasn't won anything by himself has he?

Please tell me you are kidding?

I guess technically you are correct, but he was a driving force on each and every one of the championship teams he has played for (and that is not even considering what he did in Orlando). What did the Heat look like this year when Shaq was hurt? The fact of the matter is the Heat would not have gotten past the Bull without Shaq.
