NBA Finals: Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks

I know he was a season ticket holder which is why he has that great passion to improve the game. I wish the Bulls owner has that kind of passion...wait he does...but for another sport for that man also owns the White Sox and has said he would trade all the Bulls Championships for one White Sox Championship. He bused down everyone who worked at for the team to the world series games...and their families and payed for everything so they could watch the games. Then he bought enough extra rings for everyone who works for the Sox and are raffling off 3 more for fans. The money from the raffle will all go to charities.

That is the kind of passion Cuban has for basketball and the mavs. I can understand being mad but there are different ways to approach it and now that he has been the owner for a while I think he needs to change a little bit. He has been much better and I can understand the passion since his team has never made it this far ever, but it still isn't going about this in the best way.

I was dissappointed that they limited him to 500 free tickets for fans. He should be able to do what he wants with the extra tickets since it is his team.

...

I don't think KB should be left alone tonight.

I'm going to post the same thing that I did everywhere else, and this is all I'm going to say about this show of a sport.

The NBA made a decision tonight that will affect its destiny.

They made the decision to give Dwyane Wade calls that Michael Jordan himself didn't get. 46 free throws in the final two games. FORTY SIX.

I'm sorry, but in a one-point game with 26 seconds left, you have to make the correct calls. Dwyane Wade elbowed Dirk, a very obvious offensive foul. If it's called correctly, Mavs win. It wasn't. The Mavs lost.

In the closing seconds, Gary Payton grabs a hold of Jason Terry's jersey while he's shooting a 3 that woulda tied it. An obvious defensive foul. If it's called correctly, Mavs tie. It wasn't. The Mavs lost.

What happened to the whistles when the Mavs were up big early? They got that lead in large part without any whistles going their way (two effing free throws in the entire first half... at home), and there came a point where every Heat player was allowed to push and tug and do whatever he wanted without fear of penalty.

But it comes down to those two calls.

Wade, the magical clutch player, missed those free throws. Okay.

But the last two he should have never gotten.

I'm furious right now. The Mavs were better. The NBA simply made a decision to go down the same road that it did with Jordan. And in many ways that decision ruined the sport. We'll see what happens now.

I'm not going to be a gracious loser, because I'm a sore loser. Always have been, always will be. The Heat got every important call in this series. They got away with more elbows and forearms than is imaginable. They played dirty, and got away with it. They played thugball.

And the NBA made the decision that that's what they want to be.

EDIT: Though I hate to say it, it's very possible that Mark might sell the team now. It's very obvious that the NBA front office will never let him win a championship.

Haha, at least you admit it!

It's just a game, I hope you don't get too upset about it. Unlike the players, you don't have that nice check coming to ease your mind a little bit.

I will admit that for a playoff game they were calling a lot of touchy fouls. On both sides. Let the guys play man!

I will be a poor sport and gloat about how I was right! Heat win it all. I said they would win it in 7 and they did it in six. I said they would win it all before the confrence finals and I was laughed at. WHO IS LAUGHING NOW?!?!? ME! It is true. Those who laugh last laugh best.

HA HA HA HA HA HA! Screw everyone who didn't believe!

Scaring the offense WINS YOU championships, and that's what Miami Heat has been doing all throughout the playoffs.

Miami Heat for the win

I'll quote myself again.

I'll quote myself YET again!

Dirk looks like a jackass(donkey).

HEAT!~

At the very least fix your typos when you quote yourself YET again.

First off, had the Suns had a health Amare, the Mavs wouldn't have even been playing in the NBA Finals.

Secondly, I was quite happy to see Miami win, mainly because I can't stand the Mavs or the Spurs (As a T-Wolves fan) and Dirk looks funny. So who do I root for? Not the Mavs. Yes, Wade took a lot of free throws, and some of the calls may have been questionable at best, but with numbers that high, you know the guy has the ability to create foul oppurtunities on himself. There was so much shoving going on between both sides that I think people need to stop complaining. Good for Miami, way to get your first Championship.
