View Full Version : Dallas Mavericks vs. Miami Heat; The NBA Finals Rematch
simmytbone 05-27-2011, 12:04 AM Hey guys,
1 week from tonight, it's the 2011 NBA Finals
This year, it's the rematch from 2006
The Dallas Mavericks takes on the Miami Heat
5 years ago, the Miami Heat led by the duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade def. the Dallas Mavericks led by Dirk Nowitzki with a series of 4-2
and now, 5 years later, they're back in the Finals, this time, it's the rematch
The Dallas Mavericks had overcome 3 Teams in the Western Conference such as the Portland Trailblazers, the Oklahoma City Thunder and they also swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western-Conference Semi-Finals
The Miami Heat had also overcome 3 Teams in the Eastern Conference such as the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls
and now, it's the rematch
Will the Miami Heat make it 2 for 2 in the Finals over the Mavericks and will Dwyane Wade win his 2nd NBA Championship and will Lebron James win his 1st NBA Championship or will Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks even up the score and win the NBA Championship for the very 1st time?
That's the Question!

Marvo301 05-27-2011, 12:43 AM The Dallas Mavericks will win because Dirk Nowitzki is wunderbar!!
Zoneboy 05-27-2011, 01:20 AM Dallas or Miami
I'll take Dallas in 5.
James 05-27-2011, 03:52 AM I'll take the Heatles (LeBron's nickname for the team from Miami! :lol: ) winning their second title in a cakewalk!
70s show watcher 05-27-2011, 06:16 AM the heat in 6
*Sigh* I hate both the Mavericks and Heat, my worst matchup nightmare after 5 years AGAIN, ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That being said, I take the Heat in 6 games
Jamie in CA 05-27-2011, 01:52 PM Unlike 2006, there's no one to stop Dirk. No Shaq, no Mourning, no Walker, and no Posey. Haslem isn't tall enough, Bosh is a soft defender, and Ilgauskas(if he even plays) is way too slow. Joel Anthony is their only hope. You're also replacing Devin Harris with Jason Kidd. Dallas should win in 5-6.
MrCleveland 05-30-2011, 02:08 PM I swear, if I see LeButthead putting his dirty-ass hands on that NBA Trophy that means...God HATES Cleveland when it comes to sports, we must've done something to make him mad.

Well he did bring the Browns back.

That's true that Dirk is better than he was in 2006...however, it's also true that Wade doesn't have to be a one man show either in order the Heat to win. Their top scorers in the 2006 playoffs (all rounds):
Wade 28.4 ppg
Shaq 18.4 ppg
Walker (as in Antoine) 13.3
No one else averaged in double figures. J.Williams was next at 9.3 ppg.
One has to say, scoring wise, that the combination of Lebron and Bosh is better than Shaq and Walker. I've NEVER been a fan of Bosh, but if he continues to shoot like he has been, I'm not sure Dallas can beat Miami.
This year, Miami's playoff scorers are:
Wade 26.0
James 23.7
Bosh 18.6
Dallas is also (imo) better than they were in 2006... basically, Tyson Chandler and Shawn Marion are going to have to play at a VERY high level throughout the finals for Dallas to have a chance. I think they can do it.
Both teams are mentally tough at this point, I don't think there's an ounce of quit in either team.
I think it'll be a great series, but if I HAD to pick, I'd go with Miami in 7. And trust me, you have no idea how much it PAINS me to say that lol.
I'm a Laker fan from WAY back...I was hoping for a Laker/Celtic (one more time) final or a Lakers/Bulls final... I've never liked the Heat (even though I live in FL)... but I do have to hand it to Miami... they put this team together to win a title right now, and so far, they've stood up to the pressure of the entire country waiting for them to collapse. That's not easy.
But both teams have guys who are playing GREAT, and both teams have outstanding role players as well. Gonna be a good one.
simmytbone 05-30-2011, 08:54 PM Hey guys,
a correction, the NBA Finals begins tomorrow
simmytbone 06-03-2011, 01:48 AM Well guys,
Tuesday Night, the Miami Heat def. the Dallas Mavericks and tonight, the Mavericks pulled it off with a score of 95-93
D-Wade scored 36 points and Dirk scored 24 points
Next Week, Dallas will host the Miami Heat All Next Week starting Sunday
MrCleveland 06-04-2011, 06:47 PM Dallas won on Thursday...I thought the series would be 2-0, it looks like Miami may need something than Three good players and mediocre players. (I also won't be surprised that when LeButthead's contract is up...he'll go to The Lakers).
Tweety 06-04-2011, 08:39 PM On a semantic note, the NBA and ESPN need to quit referring to things like this as a "rematch". After five years, it's not a rematch. Each team has only about two guys on the roster who were on the finals teams in 2006.... both teams have different coaches than they had back in 2006... heck, neither team even has the same uniform that they had in 2006.
A rematch would be the Lakers and Celtics meeting in 1984 and 1985 (as well as 1987).... same core of 7-8 players every time, for both teams... same coaches... same uniforms... THAT was a rematch.

You know half of the staff at ESPN is ********
TVFactFan 06-05-2011, 06:48 PM If the Heat lose tonight the series is over
If the Heat lose tonight the series is over
And they didn't and it is not over
MrCleveland 06-06-2011, 12:27 PM And they didn't and it is not over
All I know is that if The Heat win it all...It's Over for Dan Gilbert the owner of the Cavs. (He said that the Cavs are going to win the Championship before the Heat...but it looks like LeButthead will wear a ring...on his middle-finger and wave it to his former team)!
simmytbone 06-08-2011, 02:33 AM Well guys, the Dallas Mavericks have pulled it off once again and won by 3 points with a score of 86-83 to tie the series despite Dirk battling the Flu
GO MAVERICKS!!!
MrCleveland 06-08-2011, 04:50 PM Well guys, the Dallas Mavericks have pulled it off once again and won by 3 points with a score of 86-83 to tie the series despite Dirk battling the Flu
GO MAVERICKS!!!
Agree...Go Mavs! Win 2 in a row and stop the Basketball Axis of Evil (Miami Heat...why'd you think LeButthead wears #6 now? Is it his High School Number, no...put two more 6's on LeButthead's Jersey and you'll see his real side)!
simmytbone 06-10-2011, 01:27 AM Well guys, the Mavericks have won 2 in a row in Dallas and now, it's Sunday Night in Miami
Can the Heat tie it up or will it be over for them?
That's the Question!
Find out this Sunday Night @ Game 6 of the NBA Finals on abc
GO MAVERICKS!!!
isiahthomas 06-11-2011, 11:58 AM I want Miami to win but if they don't win this next game, it's gonna be over. Lebron needs to score more and the bench needs to produce. Chris Bosh also needs to score more. Dwayne Wade has been the only one consistent.

It's probably going to be over and if it is (Dallas win in Game 6 or 7), I promise myself to play this song....

Mr. Television 06-12-2011, 10:54 PM Congratulations to the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks. :woohoo: Eat it LeBron. :lol:
Tweety 06-12-2011, 11:39 PM Congratulations to Dirk, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Mark Cuban and the Mavs organization. They played a great, great series.
I think that, to celebrate, Dirk Nowitzki, Jose Barea and Brian Cardinal (i.e. 3 white guys) should preen around on a stage, complete with smoke machines, and walk around flexing their muscles, the way Wade, Lebron and Bosh did at the beginning of the season. That would be too funny! And it would be a great way to rub it in the faces of the Miami Heat. And they should have some country music blasting, instead of the hip hop crap they play in Miami...or better yet, Fabian's greatest hits.
Is the city of Cleveland burning cars and celebrating that Lebron did not win a ring? :lol:
Marvo301 06-12-2011, 11:56 PM Congratulations Mavs!! party::dance::yippee::basket:
Tweety 06-13-2011, 12:01 AM I've heard that Lebron's next move will be to take his talents to the WNBA in search of his first title.
TVFactFan 06-13-2011, 12:13 AM is there not anyone else who is mad the Heat loss?
Brian Damage 06-13-2011, 12:26 AM is there not anyone else who is mad the Heat loss?
*cricket* *cricket*
catlover79 06-13-2011, 12:43 AM I've heard that Lebron's next move will be to take his talents to the WNBA in search of his first title.
:clap :lol: :rofl: :brent If the WBNA was still around, I doubt they would want him!! Those women actually had class and were team players!!!
catlover79 06-13-2011, 12:45 AM Is the city of Cleveland burning cars and celebrating that Lebron did not win a ring? :lol:
Not quite, but everyone is really, REALLY happy. :D
catlover79 06-13-2011, 12:47 AM Need I say more? :cool: :D
catlover79 06-13-2011, 12:48 AM *cricket* *cricket*

Tweety 06-13-2011, 09:48 PM :clap :lol: :rofl: :brent If the WBNA was still around, I doubt they would want him!! Those women actually had class and were team players!!!
