Mavs vs. Heat Finals Thread

The Mavs were never known for defense, now they are tremendous. They said last night that one of the assistants is responsible for that, his defensive coordinator. Did you catch that Tyrone Corbin???
Yeah, they hav Dwane Casey in charge of their team-defense. Think Casey deserves consideration for a head coaching spot - has been a top-notch assistant on several teams and never got a fair shot in Minnesota.

It's interesting how some head coaches like to orchestrate their staffs similar to a football philosophy of having a defensive-coordinator (Doc Rivers, Rick Carlisle/Larry Bird) while others used more of a totem-pole chain of command (Jerry Sloan, Pat Riley, Van Gundy, ect).

-Also, I think alot of Jazz fans had hatred for Dirk when he called SLC a "bad city" during their 2001 playoff series. That hard foul on AK in '08 didn't help, but don't think Dirk ever reached "villian status" for Jazz fans.

-And as great as this series has been - the only thing that could ruin it is LeBron and Wade shooting 15 FT's each in Game 6. I'm worried it's time for a "David Stern dreamteam" of Bob Delaney, Danny Crawford and Dick Bavetta.

Did AK ever go on the DL for that foul? Usually it's just injuries he has off the camera that put him on the DL.
 
It's great to see all these Jazz fans who hate Dirk wanting him to get a ring. It goes to show just how much Lebron is hated. haha! Personally, Dirk is a great guy. My dad is a retired sports editor and he pulled some strings for my brother and I to meet him after a Jazz game a few years back. My brother is a huge Dirk fan. The guy is a class act. Talked to my brother for a good 45 minutes after the game about the game of basketball. Asked him how he was doing in high school basketball. Just an all around great guy. I'll see if I can find the pic of my brother and Dirk I took.

I think most jazzfans hate Dirk because he took out/injured AK and always owned Boozer.

Then again, AK typically injures himself and Boozer was always owned.

Soo...

GO DIRK!
 
I must say this has been one of the more well-balanced and entertaining finals series I have seen. I am enjoying it. It will be that much better when the Mavs win the next game.
 
I used to rule the world
Fans would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I shoot alone
Sweep the gyms I used to own

I used to throw the flour
Feel the fear from my enemy's cower
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Jordan is dead! Long live the King!"

One minute I held the three
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my friends and fans stand
Upon pillars of coins and pillars of cash

I hear Miami bells a ringing
Floridian Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my jersey, my ball and headband
My missionaries in a media van

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild Stern
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered small market teams and fans
People couldn't believe what I'd become

But my real fans still want
My head on the Jumbo Tron
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Miami bells a ringing
Floridian Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my jersey, my ball and headband
My missionaries in a media van

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Jordan won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

I hear Miami bells a ringing
Floridian Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my jersey, my ball and headband
My missionaries in a media van

For some reason I can't explain
I know Sir Barkley won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
 
After watching last nights game and watching Labron make that layup and the ref called a foul and took the bucket away. It just made me smile. Knowing that David Stern called the refs and said make it happen Dallas in 6!!

Yeah I hate Dirk but Dirk > James, Wade, Bosh

I really want Miami to lose so the Cavs can have this offseason, to try and get themselves better to complete against Miami.

They have a decent team, if they got a solid vet with there exception and a pick like Cori M. and the Bucks pick plus the 1st and 4th pick man they would atleast be in the playoffs with picks being Burk, Irvings, Kanter

Davis, Irvings
Burk, Sessions
Cori, Jamison
Hickson, Kanter
Verajos (however spelt)
 
Now it comes out that Wade and the King were making fun of Dirk's illness.

Do these guys have any class?

Do they seriously just get joy out of being a bunch of aholes and annoying the crap out of everyone?
 
Yeah I saw that video. Dirk has a fever over a 100, still goes off in the 4th quarter. What's your excuse Lebron? Oh and Wade is injured. He pulled his labia last night in that collision.
 
Watch the video, they act like a couple of spoiled brat, horses asses that need their dad to kick them in the butt.

The Heat are everything that is wrong with the NBA (except for Ron Artest). Mr. Stern, the Magic, Larry, and MJ business model doesn't work for this generation, better try something else.
