Congrats to the Bulls....they looked good. Should be an interesting series against the Heat!! Anyone think Memphis could come back??

Nah OKC will wrap it up

Looks like it is the year of the Dirk!! The guy is tearing it up. Might we see a rematch of the 2006 season??? Tonight will be a good indicator - The Heat looking good lately though!!

I'm hoping for a rematch. Give Dirk his ring - finally!

 

[Aquaph8]

Dirk is the man, Go MAVs

 

[lps1212]

Damet Rose and his Bulls put up a good fight but no cigar Lebron, Wade and Bosch were just too much for them in ot I don't see the Bulls advancing on this one and seems like the NBA finals will be the Mavs vs Heat a match up that will be NICE to watch

 

[ronnie]

I love how everyone picked the MAVS to be upset by Portland, then gave them zero chance with LA, and then questioned them against okc as well.

Wonder how badly the finals matchup will be?

Dallas in six for the championship! Eventually teams will stop underestimating the MAVS. I mean they won 57 games in the regular season. Let the past be the past. This is a new team!

I dont know - the Mavs lost to a worse Heat team back in 2006 with a better Mavs team....this time the Heat are sick....If they shut down Dirk, it could be game over! I know i am bias but this Heat team has really surprised me with their defense - it is really good!

 

[ronnie]

The heat should be good. They paid enough! ;)

Like the mavs don't spend money, lol. Same old mavs are gonna break your heart again.

Come on, the MAVs swept the heat this year.

I was waiting for that jab but, the main difference between owners that pay for teams is that fact that those 3 guys decided on their own to join up together and take pay cuts. Even if the pay cuts were minimal, still it shows that they really wanted to play together...hell the Bulls almost had this team if Wade decided he wanted to play for Chicago. Also it's easier to be good when you arent expected to be (i.e Mavs) versus the Heat who have been hated from day one with all kinds of pressure. Check out this article from ESPN's Rick Reilly - It's a good read Miami Heat could pull off biggest 'I told you so' in sports history - ESPN

That's funny so did the Bulls...how is that working out?

 

[Aquaph8]

That's a bunch of sweeping for fabricated team. What those 3 did is a mockery to basketball. Imagine if Jordan, Ewing and Bird did that. It would have ruined basketball.

 

[lps1212]

I agree with you I felt lebron should have went else where I believe Jordan said he would have never went there had that been him

Do you mean like Dirk taking less than max to try to get another premiere player in Dallas? Or that we picked up a bargain chip with Tyson Chandler while we are blowing 6 million on Haywood? I agree, the Mavs spend money, but nowhere near what the Heat spent (and those guys did take cuts as well). I'd love to see LeBron and Dirk together, or Wade and Dirk!

Same old Mavs, huh? Like the same old Mavs who swept Phil Jackson? A head coach that had never been swept in the playoffs before?

 

[subielover]

I don't understand why people are looking down on him (LJ) for doing what was best for him and his career...

To me it sounds like jealousy ;)

Pretty sure the mavs have made it to the finals before...maybe you blocked that memory, haha

That means squadoosh for the playoffs (and I am a Mavs fan!). The Heat are playing really well right now. I will say that Chicago has been hit and miss through the playoffs in every series - so I'm not surprised to see them doing as poorly as they are. 5 on 1 is a bit lopsided in any game. It is just impressive that D-Rose made it to the East finals by himself.
