"Throw in the Kidd 4 point play"

While I would have laughed if they called that, I hate it when they call a foul when the defender basically high fives the shooter well after the shot is released. What's the foul for? Usually a foul is called because 1) the defender/shooter gets an unfair advatage or 2) The defender/shooter exceeds the maximum allowed physicality of the game .

Which of those are violated?

Haslem 18 footer with 20 on the shot clock?

5/31/2011 9:49:28 PM

^^yeah i suppose technically that could have been called, but it was so long after the shot it didn't matter

5/31/2011 9:49:39 PM

barea has an awesome first step but I guess that's not that hard when you're amongst guys a foot taller than you, def cheer for the guy though

5/31/2011 9:50:58 PM

I think the hotness level of the fans is one hell of a subplot in this series.

Most would think Miami the obvious favorite, but they'd be fools to overlook the incredible homegrown talent from the big D.

5/31/2011 10:03:30 PM

There's the unguardable shot

5/31/2011 10:05:28 PM

not a good first half for Dirk

bad sign for a guy who has admitted that he has let the pressure get to him in the past

5/31/2011 10:11:40 PM

i did a google search for Juwan Howard trying to figure out his age, and the predicted search came up "Juwan Howard herpes". of course i had to learn more, and came across this:

Juwan Howard as the starting C on the all-herpes NBA team.

yet they have a 1 point lead on the road

if the first half is any indication, its going to be a good series

^chicks dig the long ball 10 foot baseline jumper

so im on dvr and about to start game 1.

I wanted to bet on miami this series but they were -185 which is absurd.

The math is all over the place.

If you base it off season long the heat are favorites, if you base it off the 2nd half of the season its a coin toss, and if you base it off the playoffs alone the mavs are favorites.

Personally, I think there's 2 reasons why the Heat win but I can't bet them because -185 is just too much with the Wade/Haslem health variables and general closeness of the series.

#1) Stoj and Terry can't guard Wade/Lebron so I think they are required to play Stevenson a lot. He sucks total dicksac so this really hurts the Mavs.

#2) Spoelstra has shown he won't fuck around if it means winning or losing. He's not going to pull a rookie mistake like Thibadeau did. He will play his best players (i.e. Miller and Haslem) rather than "going with what got them here" (the losers mantra)


Hope its a great series I guess I'll take Miami in 6 but Miami in 7 is a virtual toss up.

I just dont see Dallas winning so I cant settle for +160, but -185 is ridiculous when teams match up this evenly.


Everyone is ignoring Jason Kidd but he has been one of the elite players of all teams not just the Mavs in this postseason. Unbelievable what he's done.

or just double team Wade and Lebron with rotating help defense

5/31/2011 10:28:59 PM

is there a link to watch?

5/31/2011 10:34:38 PM

do you have a television? cause its on ABC

might be available for free legal streaming on either ABC.com or ESPN.com, not sure, maybe even NBA.com

but i mean its on network TV, do you not at LEAST have an antenna?

[Edited on May 31, 2011 at 10:36 PM. Reason : .]

5/31/2011 10:35:14 PM

Wade's already missed (at least) 3 ft's

and lol at Van Gundy making a Liar Liar Jim Carrey reference, since we already discussed Carlisle's doppelganger

5/31/2011 10:38:54 PM

the fuck was that last call that wade got

then no call for dirk on the other end

i smell a repeat of the 2006 finals officials

5/31/2011 10:39:32 PM

yeah I have a TV, but apparently in Salisbury you can't get network channels with a regular antenna (or so I've been told). We're just out of reach of Charlotte and too far away from Greensboro/W-S.

5/31/2011 10:40:07 PM

lol at Mark Cuban in the background doing the travel signal

5/31/2011 10:40:09 PM

^^well that sucks

i think i saw something about either NBA, ABC or ESPN.com having the finals streaming, I'll see if I can't find a link

however in 2011, its kinda weak to not even get network channels

5/31/2011 10:41:29 PM

dirk did not bring his A game. we'll see what he does in the 4th.

makes it even more impressive that the mavs are winning though.

lol haywood

5/31/2011 10:42:45 PM

Wow Haywood blows

5/31/2011 10:42:47 PM

he's like 6'11" right? i mean damn Haywood

5/31/2011 10:43:22 PM

congratulations bosh, you blocked a 5-foot something point guard's shot

doesn't make you a good defender, douche

also i was not a fan of marion's game before these playoffs, but he's done a great job of finding a role on this mavs team. he's made some HUGE defensive plays this postseason

5/31/2011 10:44:46 PM

Would somebody on the Mavericks make an open shot please

5/31/2011 10:45:54 PM

somebody has turned into a phenomenal jumpshooter

5/31/2011 11:01:02 PM

just saw the Friends With Benefits trailer with Timberlake and Kunis

didn't Kutcher and Portman make this movie like a month ago?

5/31/2011 11:01:13 PM

yep

5/31/2011 11:02:08 PM

^^haha, it sure seems that way, i was thinkin the same thing

starting to get a bad feeling about lebron/this series

nothing will infuriate more than if lebron actually turns into a clutch player and wins a bunch of championships in miami.

come on dirk, prove me wrong

JT gonna go marry Julia Roberts to even it up?

5/31/2011 11:03:45 PM

if JT went from jessica biel to julia roberts, that would be a bigger downgrade than the cavs going from lebron as their go-to guy to antawn jamison

5/31/2011 11:05:02 PM

I'd like to point out that I am NOT jealous of the Miami Heat

I am however jealous of Cash Warren

5/31/2011 11:07:13 PM

i dont keep up w/ relationships, but kutcher/moore has had press coverage that you cant hide from

5/31/2011 11:08:06 PM

lol Bosh

[Edited on May 31, 2011 at 11:09 PM. Reason : bullshit call on dirk]

5/31/2011 11:09:18 PM

Officiating in the NBA really pisses me off sometimes

5/31/2011 11:10:29 PM

alright dirk, time to quit pussyfooting around and unveil superdirk again

5/31/2011 11:14:08 PM

i heard dirk has a tattoo of PERFECT ARYAN SOLDIER on his dick in 72 pitch font

5/31/2011 11:14:52 PM

Anthony was one fantastic draft pick by the Heat I must say.

5/31/2011 11:15:45 PM

Dallas crowd is bustin too early like Lebron after defeating the Celts

5/31/2011 11:16:52 PM

Make the fucking shot Terry

5/31/2011 11:21:25 PM

Julius Peppers sighting left of Miami's bench

he is wearing a light blue shirt, i assume in support of his boy Haywood

5/31/2011 11:21:56 PM

ha just got a quick glimpse of him on the replay

[Edited on May 31, 2011 at 11:24 PM. Reason : and theres another (probably at least AT LEAST $5k for 1 seat)]

5/31/2011 11:23:26 PM

long glimpse during that ref discussion

$5k is like 45 seconds of gametime for him lol

5/31/2011 11:24:32 PM

fuck you, Julius Peppers

5/31/2011 11:24:57 PM

Seven fouls already on Lebron.

5/31/2011 11:28:38 PM

^^^yeah i just know the equivalent seats in Charlotte were $1k each per game during regular season

i've heard courtside All Star Game seats were $50k/night like 10 years ago

5/31/2011 11:30:54 PM

Phantom fouls on Dirk and Chandler down the stretch here while Lebron has fouled out thrice.

5/31/2011 11:31:22 PM

Lol at you jokers. It's like Dallas is playing UNC with all the crying you guys are doing.
