I never get tired of MJ &/or BULLS win hi-lites........yesssssssss

 

I got tired of the MJ-Wade comparison, the point of the highlights.

Just to throw another stat out there from Elias. The last time a team won a Game 7 on the road in the World Series, Stanley Cup Finals, or NBA Finals was 1979 when the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Baltimore Orioles to win the World Series.

What about a Game 6 on the road? :wink:

 

Not sure on that but the stat I listed above proves my point that Miami needs to win Game 6. I'm not saying they can't win Game 7 on the road, I'm just saying that it's extremely hard.

I hear ya.....it gets tiring when it just goes from Kobe-toLeBron-Wade-etc as to who becomes the "next" MJ.

 

I was lucky and saw MJ play at UNC and w/ the Bulls numerous times, even in the Finals,....just quit the comparisions cause there was only one.

Jason Terry seems like a very happy person.

[Big Fergie J]

This is gonna be a very good game

"I want to say something about Dwayne Wade, but I fear I may get called for a foul." - From the Sports Guy emails.

 

Amen.

First, Dwyane Wade shot as many free throws (25) as the entire Dallas team in Game 5. I just don't see how there's any way this can happen in a fairly-called game. It's theoretically impossible.

 

There is one exception to this that I can think of and that's when teams used to do the Hack-A-Shaq and would just grab Shaq up until there were two minutes left in the half (when the foul became a shoot the free throws and get the ball back situation) to send him to the line. Shaq often had games where he would shoot 20+ FT's and occasionally had a game with 30+ FTA. He even had a game where he shot an unbelievable 39 FT's against Indiana in Game 2 of the 2000 NBA Finals. I'm not old enough to remember if they did this to Wilt as well but I believe they did IIRC.

Antione Walker is so bad. If I was a Heat fan, I would absolutely despise him. Hell I still hate him anyways.

I believe that Wade broke Bob Petit's record for free throw attempts in an NBA Finals game.....so the numbers go back for a while

Dallas kicking some ass early!

He was saying that in the context of Wade being a SG, not a big man.

 

How many times will Stackhouse miss a dunk in this series? Nice start, Mavs.

It's the game on 2000-06-09.

Nice finish to the first quarter for the Heat. First couple minutes of the second are pretty big for the Heat.

Wow....that I did not know......thanks.....quite the stat......for some reason I thought the announcers referred to Petit....I must have not been paying attention...thanks for the #

[da bears]

Well, I dont know if the foul calls have been overly poor in this game. I'm just hoping it's fair. I don't want to hear from people complaining about foul discrepencies again.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Haha to Howard dropping his shorts while Shaq was shooting FTs.

[Flames24Rulz]

Refs don't call a very obvious goaltend for Dallas :x

Then call a really bad lose ball foul against Daniels. Wade barely got touched, let alone fouled.

[Flames24Rulz]

5 fouls on Shaq.

 

Plz take advantage, Mavs.

[Outshined_One]

I'm surprised Dirk didn't body slam the ref when he tried to get the ball.

[Flames24Rulz]

Wow, how the hell did Mourning get away with that crap without getting a technical?

[Outshined_One]

The refs were too busy calling in a medical crew because they thought he was having a seizure.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

How is that not a foul on Mourning?

 

Why can the Heat throw people to the ground without a foul being called?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Tie game! Go Mavs!
