Dirk's fadeaway is unblockable, and it goes in more than you would expect. How can you not love the 7 foot, goofy looking, german dude beating Lebron.
Out drinking in Columbus, OH during the game last night, which is a good 2.5 hours from Cleveland. It totally warmed my heart when the final buzzer sounded and the entire bar started chanting "Cavs for Mavs!" over and over again. As an Akronite, fuck LeBron, but I'll be damned if this isn't one of the most entertaining finals series I've seen in a long time. Not exactly the most consistently high-scoring, but the matchups here make for some great games. Can't wait to see that last nail put in Miami's coffin. Some nice revenge from the horeshit officiating that was the 2006 finals.
He's got one of the most awkward shots I've ever seen. He looks like he's going to fall over backwards yet still hits it. Last night was glorious. I love seeing those flip-flopping babies lose. As for Wade and the hip deal, when he came back out on the court and was back in the game he didn't look to me like a guy that was withering in pain on the sideline a little while before. One of two things, he flopped or they shot him with enough shit to make it through the game. PS I saw a pic of goofy Pau on a yatch somewhere with his GF, holy fuck is she hot.
Wade would never, ever go to the locker room unless he was legitimately hurt. That most certainly was not a flop. I'm more fond of chalking it up to his will to win. After all someone on Miami's roster has to have it. Oh, and J.J. Barea is an inspiration to short, light-complected guys everywhere. I still have to watch his interviews from time to time to remember that he really is from Puerto Rico.
I was at the bar in OSU's student union and the place was going nuts when Terry hit those 3s near the end. Good game and the Mavs nailed it at the end.
This is why I am cheering for Miami. When you're in competition to have the worst professional sports with Cleveland you start hopping that everything bad happens to them. Id love to see Lebron get his ring and not even have to say anything about Cleveland. I really don't have anything to root for since I don't care for either team.
Dirk's shot is super pretty. He is able to square his hips and shoulders quickly so he pretty much always gets off a good-looking shot, even when he's falling away. I can't even imagine how many hours of practice that represents. His free-throw shooting has also been ridiculous. Then, when you are trying to avoid fouling him or giving him an easy jump shot, he'll just blow by you every so often. Dirk is nice. That being said, let's go Heat. LeBron James needs to call Kobe Bryant and figure out how to be more selfish; I bet if he gets 35 points and 3 assists he gets praised, while 19-10 would get him castigated.
Or call Allen Iverson and figure out the best way to go 11-30 for 35 points. Everyone knows well-roundedness and efficiency are for losers.
Better still, he can look to the locker to his left, to get some tips from Wade on what it means to really want to win something. "Now or never," "biggest game of my life," "this is our time"...as much as I like LeBron, he's been nothing but talk for the last 2 weeks.
After DeShaun Stevenson just made 9 points in one quarter all 3pts, I wonder if he's thinking "Yeah muthafucka, have Jay-Z make another diss track about me." I'll be suprised if this doesn't go to game 7. Not that any team is going to actually beat another team, a game 7 just has to happen. Miami by at least 5, but not more than 10. Miami with last possession.
Um, Dallas is up 2 and Dirk is 1-11. I wanna stick a coal up a Miami fan's ass so I can get a diamond.
Yeah, Dallas has to feel pretty happy considering. They gotta get Dirk some easier shots. Luckily Terry is carrying them.
Miami's favored by 5 in this game. Romantics would say the public expects Miami to be extra-motivated. Cynics would say the public expects the NBA to force a Game 7.
My prediction wasn't a cyncial one. I'm predicting, now with 90% less confidence, a game 7 for business reasons for the NBA. If Miami was up a game, I'd predict the same thing. There has to be a game 7. A playoffs without one game 7 would be absolute nuts. With that said, RC is coaching the fuck out of this game right now. 9 point lead with Cardinal, Mahimi, and Dirk on the bench? Really? I'm beginning to think Scottie Pippen jinxed LeBron James. This shit is amazing.
I don't know about you guys, but I thought the Heat quit with 2 minutes left. That was a hell of a series though.
I certainly didn't see that coming. Thought game 7 for sure. If I was Dirk I'd probably give Jason Terry a handy for that first half. Oh, and I also now regret staying in with the thinking of drinking and having fun for game 7 instead.
I wish this wasn't a Sunday victory. I'd be so fucked up right now. Congratulation Dallas Mavericks, Dirk, Jason Kidd, Jet and I can't believe Tyson even gets a ring. Dirk walked off the court immediately, Chris Bosh fell and started crying on the walk back to the Lockeroom. Classy move by Cuban to have the trophy handed over to the first owner. They quit with 3 minutes for sure. LeBron is a terrible fucking hype man by the way, also, where was his rape face? Where was his "we're not losing like this" face? Ricky still looks like Jim Carey though.
