Miami Heat - The Team to Beat !

[midas06]

Dwayne.

Wade.

[dalecooper]

That game last night was something else. Wade is SICK. He looked positively Jordanesque at the end of the 4th and all through overtime - just would not let the Heat lose.

Dirk was pissed y0... did you see him kickin stuff?

howard == mvp

At least with the Howard fiasco there wasn't a technical foul. Yes, burning the last timeout to ice Wayde and not get the ball at half court hurt but it wasn't as bad as when Webber called a to at Michigan and they didn't have any left...

Not a big fan of hoegarden, but boddington on tap is amazing. I had it for the first time from tap at a bar, it took like 15 minutes to fully pour. Amazing.

Spaten Optimator FTW.......

I am a very sad Mavs fan today...misappropriated use of the hack-a-shaq, Dirk misses a clutch freethrow, Howard misses TWO clutch freethrows, idiotic ref call with 1.9 seconds to go with Wade throwing up a prayer (granted he's rocked the last 3 games), ridiculous TO call to close out the game.

It's not over til it's over, of course. And I expect the Mavs to win game 6...but man that last one just had me throwin up in my mouth. Of course, I'm sick as a dog and I was drunk as hell last night to boot.

Common big performances from Terry and Stackhouse and an embarrassed Howard in game 6 to give us a shot after a ridiculous loss. And no more BS from the refs plz.

[bigred]

I watched not really caring for one side or the other and I didn't think the officiating at the end was horrible.

Wade played well.

[DaHorror]

No doubt Wade played extremely well...no point in arguing the last call of the game...that wasn't the only thing that cost us the deal. Ah well.

[midas06]

lol at Josh Howard

[Muxy]

[bode]

[bode]

[NewJack33]

[givememyleg]

[Eric]

I'm happy for Shaq and the Heat! I thought winning 4 in a row against Dallas in the finals would be impossible...

[Grand_MasterB]

I cant believe the heat won. I am still upset about game 5 and what happened down the stretch but what can you do, thats sports right. I was still not very impressed with the heats play though. Aside from one player having the series of his career they were very average at best. But i guess all you need is one extremely hot player to ride. GG DWade

[ensign_lee]

Yeah, that's what happens when the refs rig the game.

Fucking <s>party</s> refs:

"Getting within 1 foot of Wade, automatic foul : two shots"

Bullshit...

and this is from a person who doesn't really like the Mavs at all to begin with for the raping they gave to my team in last year's playoffs.

[NewJack33]

ZO was a monster last night.. def playing one of his career best games.

zo is from my city! im happy for him

[ttanaka]

Yeah, Zo was a beast!!! And DWade was just phenominal. I'm stoked for Zo, GP, DWade, and especially Shaq - he's still a Laker in my heart - congrats Heat!

Yea I cant think of a better C that doesnt start.

I knew the heat were going to win but I didnt think they would win 4 in a row, does anyone know how many times a team has won 4 in a row after losing the first 2 NBA final games?

They said that this is only the 3rd time in the history of the finals that a team has come back from 0-2 to win it. Not sure if either of the other 2 teams won 4 in a row to do it or not.

[LimpinAintEZ]

ONLY 1 OTHER TEAM HAS EVER WON THE 3 HOME GAMES IN A ROW EITHER...THAT WAS A HELL OF A SERIES - DALLAS WAS BY FAR!!! THE BEST TEAM, HANDS DOWN - THEY SHOULD HAVE WON 2 OF THE 3 GAMES IN MIAMI, BUT WADE JUST WOULDN'T ALLOW IT

TO SUM IT UP - you NEEEEVVVVVEEEERRRRRRRR!!!! pass the ball to Eric Dampier with under a minute to go - I don't care if the guy is wide open under the basket, I would rather have dirk shooting with 3 people in his face - Passing the ball to Dampier was just epic stupidity...Sad, because Dirk is a hell of a player, and he just kept deferring to his teammates...He needed to get a lot more than 4 shots up in the 4th period -

[STIdrivr]

ONLY 1 OTHER TEAM HAS EVER WON THE 3 HOME GAMES IN A ROW EITHER

So this means that only 1 of the 2 teams that won the title after losing the first 2 games could have won the last 4 in a row right? Its most likely that the heat is the only team to do it then right?

[LimpinAintEZ]

maybe i wasn't clear - Since they went to a 2-3-2 finals format, only 1 other team had won the 3 home games in a row (the pistons did it) - so the heat are now only the 2nd team to ever do that -

the 4 games thing i just don't know about...

[STIdrivr]

I understood, I was just trying to see if we could use that info the narrow down the chance that any other team has won 4 in a row after losing the first 2, but I didnt know that they had a different format before. What was the old finals format and how long ago did it change do you know?

[LimpinAintEZ]

Looks like 87-88 and the pistons/lakers series was the 1st one - I don't know why these little things are so hard to find

[STIdrivr]

is there a good site to find different nba stats?
