2011 NBA Finals Preview: Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks

[catch24]

they are going back to the 2-3-2 format?

that just gives the team with 3 games at home more of an advantage.

The Finals have been the 2-3-2 format for a while now, dude

[tpols]

When do the finals start?

Pretty much every game came down to the wire except like game 2 of the Sixers series.

My definition of ran over is when a team outplays another team during the game. The Heat outplayed the Celtics, bulls and 76ers. Can you argue with that?

No, only two teams have won all three since they switched it.

I just feel bad for the superstar that's gonna lose. He will get crucified.

Congrats Mavs fans who were ISH regulars.

Heat in 4-5, I am sure they are laughing their asses off at this match up.

[nbaballllller]

But how can the Heat stop Dirk and the shooters? I hate this double standered bullshit on this forum when we're talking about the Heat. They ARE NOT a better team than Dallas.
Dallas has the better coach, better role players, beter offense plus they win the matchup battle

J Kidd
Stevenson
Marion(Hopefully Caron if he can get better by June 2nd)
Dirk
Tyson

Bibby(??)
Wade
James

I agree. Heat sweep.

[SebasMiamiFan]

When do the finals start?

June 2nd I believe.

[nbaballllller]

smh, not even remotely close.

This.

Dallas struggled containing players from getting into the paint. They managed to win this series with veteran leadership and poise in the final minutes. OKC actually outplayed them for much of the series.

Lebron and Dwade are going to go ham on this defense.

Oh and that CB guy will be able to get his at will

Miami in 5

Well the Sixers outplayed Miami but Miami was too talented for them to overcome. Boston played on Miami's level but Miami was just too athletic and young for Boston. Chicago has been very good and played their best in like every game but Miami's talent and clutch plays were just too much for them. It hasn't been easy. Philly almost took us to a game 6. Boston could have made it a 6/7 game series with a few plays. Same with Chicago. It was tough.

[Clippersfan86]

Okay. Marion has been guarding PF's his entire career. Lebron WILL NOT punk him in the finals. I'm gonna tell you new NBA fans that right now. Then they have Stevenson who has done an okay job on Lebron dating back to the Wizards/Cavs series (though Lebron definitely dominated him a few times). Also Corey Brewer will do a great job on Lebron/Wade. They actually have a lot of great perimeter defenders to throw at Miami that Chicago didn't. Kidd, Marion, Brewer, Stevenson and even Terry at times is one hell of a perimeter defense.

[Ancient Legend]

Mav fans, prepare your anuses. The Heat's defense is unlike anything the Mavs hace faced this year. LeBron and Wade have a dynasty in the making, and it starts in a few days.

And if by any chance the Mavs, win, I hope Jason Terry ruptured his ACL and didn't play a single minute in the finals. Other than that, i'm ok with Dirk winning his ring.

[SebasMiamiFan]

Dallas already practiced guarding Wade/LeBron by guarding Westbrook/Durant. Wade is like Westbrook, Durant is like LeBron. Not literally, but you know what I mean. But Dallas didn't have to guard anyone on OKC like Bosh. He is the key to this series for the Heat.
