Mavs - Heat Prediction

DickerJames · Post by **DickerJames** » Tue Jun 06, 2006 8:40 am

Yes, the Heat are playing much better now, and No, Dallas won't blow them out, BUT, make no mistake, DALLAS WINS! Miami is San Antonio Lite. I think Dallas wins in 5, but the stupid 2-3-2 format might take it to 6.

....I hope Shaq shoves the NBA trophy down Cuban's throat as one last move as Miami wins in 6.

I guess you'll be sorely disappointed.

The Heat have Antoine Walker, which is all you need to know. Walker is a Spaaaaaaaaaaare.

I actually would like to see that too, but not bad enough for the Mavs to lose. Maybe when Cuban is hogging the trophy again and holding it on top of his head, Shaq will intervene and make your wish come true.

I love Cuban and can't wait to see the look on his face when he hoists the trophy above his head. I'm sure he'll say something priceless.

My 2 cents are give Shaq his 25 -30 points, focus on keeping Wade from going nuts and hack a Shaq down the stretch. We must win the first 2. If we do this, we win in 6.............

Agreed. They should keep it the same for the finals.

I love what he's done for the Mavs (it's been a long 26 yrs) but he is the biggest geek ever and needs to shutup and stay out of the way. He acts like he is actually on the team.

Did you mean...He acts like he actually owns the team?

I don't get anybody having a problem with Cuban. He's rich enough to buy nice toys and still young enough to enjoy playing with them. Sounds like a nice life to me.

Jealousy, plain and simple.

No, it's not jealousy. I give him his due for having the brains and money to turn the Mavs around, but as a representative of the team in the media, I think he is a Goober and Doofus with 0 class.

Why does he need to be classy? He OWNS the team. He can do whatever the hell he wants. That's what having that much power and money affords you. And he's not the representative of the team, the coach is. And if Avery came out every day and said to the media, "We're going to stomp their heads in and spit at their children. This opponent will cry when they leave the arena today" I'd be one happy camper. It's a competition and people should act like it. What? Did you think athletes, coaches and owners are role models? Buahahahahaha. Right.

I respect Cuban because he's not afraid to speak his mind and take chances to help his team.

The media loves him and you don't make a gazillion dollars being a "Goober and Doofus"--it has to be jealousy.

Cuban is great. He has life and you can tell he really loves the team. It's a refreshing change from all the gray-hair owners who own a team just to own one while they wait for death.
