Nba 2010-2011

Miami won the game, but the game was just a farce in term of refereeing. Are they trying to make up for 06 or something??
 
you make it sound like the Mavs got all the calls. the refs we're equally shit. tons of shit calls went the heat's way.

No, the refs were NOT equally bad. Dallas got 27 foul calls to Miami's 14! It's just absurd. Miami were called for fouls on Nowitzki even when they did not touch him, while Marion falling on Lebron is not a foul??

A few and only a few went Miami way, but down the stretch it was just pathetic. I hope they don't screw up any more games this series (both ways).
 
Dallas got 27 foul calls to Miami's 14!

that's because the Mavs weren't contesting any of miami's shots in the first half in an effort to save their fouls for the second half. they couldn't afford to have chandler and marion in foul trouble with haywood unable to play. you know miami contests everything (with their great d) so they're going to commit more fouls.



Mavs use the lock-down d in the forth quarter and beat the heat to even the series at 2 a piece.

GO MAVS!!!
 
People crying about Miami not getting calls....hahahahah.

Good game, great series so far.

But if the Mavs have any hopes of winning the series, they need to get their noses ahead, they've won both the must win games so far, but it would be interesting to see how the Heat react to going down 3-2 and potentially losing the finals, as opposed to merely falling back to parity with their losses.

Half of Miami's fouls were committed when both teams were going for the rebounds, not when they were contesting shots..

Anyway, the refereeing was much better in game 4.. Series is tied now. Dallas will take a 3-2 lead to Miami. They just seem to score more easily at home. Miami can't shoot jumpers, and they are not good at free throws. Only way to win for them is the paint. Dallas defend with zone, and it's an automatic 3-2 lead for the Mavs.
 
Only going on the stats as I couldn't see the entire game, but if Dallas is going to win they need to ensure the bench keeps scoring and a starter other than Dirk gets 15+ points. LeBron's not going to struggle as much in the next games and Mavs also need to stop Miami getting so many offensive rebounds.

I hope this series goes to 7 games.
 
8 points? EIGHT? I think he's going to explode in the next game to make up for it
 
Dallas are playing much more comfortably than Miami. Miami look nervous, and I don't really see them winning this one.

Miami will have to do it all on their court..
 
68% from beyond the arc hitting 13 of 19 3-pointers??? Are you kidding me?? This should have been a blow up win..

Game 2 proving VERY costly for Miami right now..

Mavs, is it possible?

LeBron had such an efficient game

8/19 - 17 points
10 rebounds
10 assists

BUT still not good enough...maybe he's saving it for game 6 & 7 so he can steal the finals MVP award from Wade :D

3 point shooting the difference, Miami shot decent enough 40% from distance, but Mavs were close to SEVENTY percent.
 
Mavs take control with great win. for the first time in the series the Mavs looked like the Mavs offensively. they turned on the d in the forth again and shut down the heat. Mavs up 3-2 going back to miami.

GO MAVS!!

Lebron plays better on the road.. If that's what we've seen from him on the road, don't count on what he will do in Miami. Wade is the home guy, but I can't see how he can do more, especially with the injury..

Miami are not tough enough to win 2 on the bounce against Dallas. Dallas just want it more, and they'll win it. Miami blew their chance in game 2.
 
Unbelievable shooting from Dallas

Finally got the open jumpers to fall.
 
Great result for Dallas, fantastic shooting performance & the supporting cast did a great job as they had done in the previous playoff games.

Hopefully Mavs win the series but I'm hoping this goes to a game 7, been a terrific series so far.
 
Would like to see Dallas overall win, mostly because Nowitzki who I think is the best European player ever to play in NBA. As much as I don't like LeBron and his talent which he brought over to Miami, I really appreciate Wade who plays like a true champion, shopwing everyone it's still his team and LeChoke (read it somewhere) is nothing more then a water carrier for him. Great series so far but as a neutral would like to see Dallas taking it.
 
Dirk's jump-shot with the high arc on it is awesome :drool:
 
Dallas will win this one and the title.. They are destroying the Heat without even needing to rely on Nowitzki.
 
Mavs have made Wade, Le Bron and the rest of the Heat look like little bitches tonight. Chandler is an absolute best on the boards. He's been so important for Dallas in this Series!
