or
Veteran's who I'd like to see get a ring.
I loathe that dude.
I'm really not invested in this one, but I guess I'll be pulling for the Heat, if only because I think this year probably represents DWade's best shot at a ring and he's the only player on either roster that I particularly like.
I have a feeling that Shaq's decline is going to be pretty precipitous after this year--that this is the final year he'll be able to help DWade get that ring. And if Wade re-signs this summer--something which I think would be very foolish, but which all indications point to him doing--he will spend the best years of his career tethered to a sinking ship of a team crippled by Shaq's contract.
Co-sign and then some.
The real joy will be any Shaq/Dampier smackfests. Let's see how long before Shaq fires the first salvo in this one.
D Wade? Let me introduce you to Josh Howard.....
You cant be serious? He couldnt shut down the SUNS backcourt,you think he can stop
WADE.
And what's NOT to like about Dirk??
He's evolved into the player no one thought he'd ever be....developed an inside game, learned to rebound at both ends, plays defense especially when it's on the line, is a team player, hustles his ass off.
Seriously, why would anyone NOT like this guy as a basketball player if you're a fan of the game??
WTF dood did you watch the game? Howard was on Nash the entire second half last night in their biggest game of the season and the MVP couldn't do shit until it was too late.
Not saying Nash is Wade by any means, but for you to say he "couldn't shut them down" just ain't even right.
Your typical NBA fan has a big problem w/ a 7 foot German white guy as a top 3 (maybe even the best) player in the league.
See Tim Thomas' post-game comments after Game 5 for all you need to know about that situation.
Fuggit though, cos Dirk's gonna be hoistin a trophy in about two weeks.
Congrats on your first trip to the Finals.
The Mavs can beat the Heat, but to think yall have anybody that can match up w/ Wade and Shaq is ridiculous.
The Heat dont have an answer for Dirk either.
The Suns had you guys shook. You'll see what real defense is. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Shaq/Mourning > Diop/Dampier
Wade > Howard
Dirk > Haslem
Terry > Williams
Walker > Griffin
Riley > Johnson
UH-HUH
OKAY
WHUSSUP???
SHUTTTUP!!!!
I loathe THAT dude and as much as I think D. Wade deserves a ring, I will be doing my best to throw hex on that traitor and his oversized minion the Shaqtard. I think the Heat are gonna sweep though.
Who wants to have their avatar/location changed for 2 months.
Cosignature.
I'm going with the Mavs to win the jewelry, though.
So, do y'all actually watch these games or do you just form your opinions based on what you see on highlight shows?
Shaq will absolutely dominate in stretches. All the Dallas centers have to do is have 6-10 good plays a game on him. Foul him and he misses FTs, make him shuffle his feet, draw a charge, force a turnover, etc. Damps can do this. He is country strong and has held his own against Shaq the last four Mav reg season victories over the Heat. Shaq himself or the refs are guaranteed to essentially limit him for about 2 games. As to Wade, you are just seriously underestimating Josh and that will be your undoing.
Mavs are built to feast on EC teams. It's goin down.
None of you all were talkin Heat all through the months of NBA threads.
BANDWAGON-ASS HEAT NUTRIDAZ!!!!
Hatters.....all of them
But the guy I'm waiting to hear from is Phill Most who picked the Mavs to finish 8th in the West!!!
Youre funny.
And sensitive............again.
Your joking right. THE REGULAR SEASON DONT MEAN SHIT.
"Do you even play Basketball"
You want to bet?
EAST COAST BATCH
I'm hearing some famous last words...
I am not categorically stating that the Heat will win. I like Dallas' chances against them (as opposed to the Suns, who would've been eaten alive). It will be a good series. But this kind of "all Damp & Diop need is 5-10 good plays a game" is straight fanboy nuthugging, call it like it is hommie, Mavs got no kind of serious answer for Shaq in the paint, of course the double will come and the inevitable kickout, we'll see how good the Dallas D is when Wade, Williams, Walker, and Posey are shooting the lights out...
One thing's for sure is that Dirk will have to outdo himself. Terry & company won't do it by themselves...
I'm ready, I'm hyped, plus I'm amped!
Wade looks like he wants to start shit in that picture. haha. If they were to fight, the East Allstars would win.
We'll be hollerin in a couple of weeks and it's gon' be curtains for you two.
Yuk it up while you can, funny boys.
Fuck that bullshit dood. Call it what you want, that's the kind of shit that wins games. Shaq is gonna get his. It's the difference of him getting 23-28 or 30+. Mavs keep him in the mid-twenties and it's on. I'm just sayin that's what's gonna happen by and large, except for in the two Heat victories. Y're huggin the Diesel's nuts like he was 28 and not 32, Warrior-fan.
yep, thems the cries of a wounded dog, when you start talking down on a dude's team.... I am sure you were a Mavs fan back when they were the joke of the league (or were you??? hmmmmm....
If I were you I'm sure I couldn't help but push GP's buttons either.
Why can't y'all let me relish a day before the tag=team? Most had the Mavs going down about 3 weeks ago.......
Also, if the Mavs get a nice lead, Riley might pull Shaq to go small to try to match up and catch up. When Dallas and the Suns played the Heat in the regular season they basically ran the Heat off the floor by BIG margins. Of course that was before the Heat pulled it together as they have during the playoffs. I'm still picking the Mavs to win it all.
I'm thinking Dallas might go back to Griffin in the starting lineup. They could then bring Devin off the bench and hopefully he could match up on Payton some. Nice mismatch for the Mavs there.
even though i don't want to, i give the nod to the heat. i'm pulling for the mavs though.
