What a series!
I think one has to wonder if Lebron is running out of gas. He doesn't look really as aggressive or energetic out there. I noticed in the box score that he played only 45 minutes. I'm not sure what their coach has against Jones anymore. He's a decent 3 point shooter. He should be able to spot Lebron some minutes.
Both teams look like they've figured each other out. Defense was non-existent today.
Come on Mavs, just win one out of the next two!

Mavs have been the underdogs this whole series. If they are up 3-2, then they should get the credit for outplaying Heat thus far. No homecourt, missing a guy like Butler and now no Haywood. And going up against 2 superstars who would get bogus calls now and then. And still up 3-2.
Meanwhile, How is your Lebron is the clear league MVP thing coming? Too bad that he has only a roleplayer like Wade next to him choking away games. If he had a superstar or two he would have won 65 regular season games and would have swept the Mavericks. Right?
I hope the Mavs win the next one. Better to close it out early. Game 7 on the road, going up against Wade and Lebron could be tough. If the Mavs lose this series they can still be proud of giving a great series thus far fighting against adversity.I hope the Jazz top brass is watching this series. They will realize that the Jazz are a long ways away.

How sweet would it be if the Mavs win 3 straight on them?
Poetic justice for Dirk. Redemption. Justice for Wade too...
Just when Flash's team looked unstoppable after game 3, they then dropped 3 straight as coughing and feverish Dirk laid a big Deuce on the Big Three's Championship aspirations.
Also, why the hell is Chalmers always out there complaining, trash talking, and acting like a hard a? He reminds me of Kendrick Perkins when he was with the Celtics. A dude that tries to talk big because he knows that he has 3 other stars that have his back.

Dallas has been favored to win the games in Dallas. Miami was favored to win the series. Saying they were 1.5 favorites for game 5 doesn't go against that. Dallas has played great.
Still the MVP. Or at least top 2 with Wade. He hasn't had great games in Dallas.
Where did you get Wade is a role player?
New team, with a lot of new players and they still might win the whole thing. Who cares if they win 65?
I had Miami in 5. I was wrong. So were a lot of people with Dallas this year.
Anybody else seeing an incredible coaching job by Carlisle? 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???
Also, Carlisle just seems to hit all the right buttons, make the right moves. The Heat have a huge talent advantage, yet the Mavs keep coming back and winning. You take Dirk away from the Mavs and they are a cellar dwellar. You take either Wade or Lebron from the heat and they are still a contender. I sure hope the Mavs can close this out and get Dirk a ring.

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.
It's been a great series so far.
I wouldn't get pumped yet about the Mav's winning as they blew a 2-0 lead last time.
I'm expecting the Heat to win game 6, and I'm hoping for the Mavs to win game 7.
If it goes to a tight game 7, this should be up there on the short list for best series ever.

Agreed. This series has been one of the best. The NBA has needed a series like this for a while now. I'm just hoping the next two games are called fairly and it's not a repeat of 2006.
