Dallas Mavericks

[omad]

---

the HEAT supporting cast just didn't step up to take those freebies.... and this would take the air out of you. getting no support from your teammates offensively and defensively making the Mavs look like they were playing against amateurs.. if game 3 resembles the 4 previous games (including regular season) then it's the end of the road for the Heat in the Finals.

[EZRA]

They had lots of wide-open mid ranged shots... hardly contested tungod lagi sa double/triple team ni SHAQ..... Wade was shooting like crap.. lots of mistakes, lots of bad decisions forcing shots. Hell, you can't win games when you're playing like this. Their defense sucked... MAVS shooters were so wide open most of the time `cause the HEAT were too busy scrambling and chasing the quick guards.

[omad]

I'll also give credit to the Mavs specially Dirk who trusted his teammates and make that extra pass when needed. they played like a team, that's the advantage of just having "guys" on your team instead of "superstars", no pressure, no conflicting egos. just trust and respect for your teammates. let's wait for game 3 if Pat still has some tricks left in his bag and make this a series.

dallas did move the ball a lot too and then their goes the threys or a shot in the basket.

pat better put a good show for the home crowd. they cant afford to loose one game.

Dallas fans, 2 games to go para ma champion na ang Mavs!!! :mrgreen:

The pressure is on the Miami heat!!!

[dirk_nowitzki]

the mavs will only steal 1 game...and they'll be in a very good position to win the title! :mrgreen:

[koykoy]

i still believe the heat cant sustain the firepower needed to beat the mavericks... too many scorers and shooters ang dallas... harris can drive, terry turns and shoots, pick and rolls, give and go's, dirk creating shots for himself and for his teammates.. van horn can hit those long range shots, dampier running the floor? hehe

missing man si shaq sa game 2.. brick count: 2/15? hehe

if wade and shaq won't have exceptionally good game in miami, they're toast.. it's like the lakers team we saw in 2004

anyway, what's the update of haslem? it's a very painful fall, i believe... kinsa na man mu guard ni dirk? ^^

expect a physical game 3,if der no any solution about mavs offense,heat will play physical on mavs.haslem will play physical against nowitzki and alonzo will play physical against dampier and diop to change the tempo of mavs

Bring the broom!!!
Including Nimbus 2000.
I like to SWEEP the floor!

It's a long shot but the idea is sweet.

MUST DO for the Heat: hit 50% of their jumpers. drive to the hole. be active on defense specially on the guards.
