tyson chandler = dwight. yes somebody actually tried to convince me of this. mavs fans being unbiased!

[Dimmauk]

This doesn't have anything to do with the discussion but god damn people forget how good of a defender Jordan was.

I agree with Tim Hardaway having the best crossover ever. AI's was also very nice.

Not even close, but no centers are. He's the best center left in the playoffs since the Lakers got swept though.

There is more room on the wagon.

So long as it's not a D Rose wagon, why not.

[Dimmauk]

J-Ant and Big Z going to shut down Dirk!!

Only places the Heat had an advantage was at 2 guard and shooting forward over chicago too. Chicago had a better coach, supposedly better defense, a much deeper bench, better PG, etc and so on.

I think the heat win this, and the reason is simple. Finals 2-3-2 format is incredibly unfair to the away team.

[Kyo]

Mav's better learn to guard penetration, OKC burnt them with it constantly and LeBron/DWade will eat them alive with it.

Plus, Miami has yet to lose at home in the playoffs.

All that nigga can do is rebound when he feels like it and get an ally oop.

Haslem gunna stretch him to the perimeter and get his big ugly ass away from the basket.

Bulls getting to the ECF just showed how weak the East was. They had no chance of winning. No one knew how good Chicago's coach was outside of defensive schemes, Chicago was the better defense, their bench is streaky and Haslem coming back made it a push, technically PG was better but LeBron is the Heat's PG in reality - and guarded Rose as such.

Basically the Heat were guarding Rose 1 on 5 when he tried to go to the paint and LeBron was on him contesting jumpers otherwise, Bulls literally had no other offensive threats. That's is not the case with the Mavericks, they have 3 outside shooters and the Heats 3FG% has been terrible.

Haslem is the only one on the Heat team that has ever come close to guarding Dirk and that was 5 years ago when Haslem wasn't coming off injury and Dirk was just worse at beating defenders.

Mav's better learn to guard penetration, OKC burnt them with it constantly and LeBron/DWade will eat them alive with it.

Really only in game 5 when Chandler was in foul trouble and they were using a 4 guard lineup. Westbrook was just throwing up wild layups for the most part of the other games.

I think the heat win this, and the reason is simple. Finals 2-3-2 format is incredibly unfair to the away team.

These are the 2 best road teams in the NBA, and Dallas has a 7 game road streak in the playoffs right now and only 1 loss at home. They are going to have to win 2 on the road because they won't win all 3 home games.

All that nigga can do is rebound when he feels like it and get an ally oop.

Haslem gunna stretch him to the perimeter and get his big ugly ass away from the basket.

Chandler will be on Bosh, who gives a shit about Haslem? Dirk will be on Haslem, and if he manages to score 10 then that's amazing.

If your going to play road records, you have to acknowledge home records too. Heat haven't lost a home game. You think they're going to lose two out of three? Laughable

[Man0warr]

The Mavs have only lost once at home, not that big of a difference. Mavs need to win 2 out of 4 on the road.

Face it, this matchup is closer to 50/50 than people think. If they had Caron it wouldn't even be a question.

Dirk and Kidd are not going to let this chance slip away, this is it for them.

Of course, the Heat have a better chance if Bennett Salvatore and Danny Crawford officiate 3 of the games.

[Tyche]

You said mavs in 6. Heat only play 3 home games in 6 games.

[Tyche]

Math is hard

[Man0warr]

Shrug, if it goes 7 I still got the Mavs.

Triple A isn't some hard place to win, unless the fans are going to be making baskets.

Mavs have already won road games in the two hardest arenas to play in, the Rose Garden and OKC Arena.

[Tyche]

You can say it's not hard to win there, but no team has won there yet. Just saying, you're manipulating stats to benefit you. If you're going to say the Mavs are 7-0 on the road, you can't chalk that as an advantage when the Heat are 8-0 at home.

[Flarega]

Tyche is fanning up

[Tyche]

I'm a huge NBA fan, and a connoisseur of all Miami sports.

[Tyche]

I'm even a Florida Panther fan, even though they are technically housed in a Miami suburb

[Kyo]

Those Tampa Lighting sure are fun to watch.
