Tonight is a MUST-WIN for Dallas. History shows that the teams up 2-0 in finals end up winning the series around 90% of the time. Dallas has to do a better job of rebounding and making shots. I just don't like their dependence of the jumpshot. They need to drive in. Miami's defense is like......WOW!!!

It's not going to happen bro! What I saw the other night was the beginning of the end for the Mavs. A team that plays the kind of D the Heat play...ain't gone lose 4 games to the Mavs or anyone.

Sorry to say but Dallas is a jumpshooting team they live and die by the J... not to mention they lost there best slasher in caron butler so outside of shawn marion they dont have anybody that can drive to the basket like that.

And that's why I wonder if Dallas would have been favorite to win it all with Butler. And also that's why I felt like Dallas reminded me sometimes of the Orlando Magic.

1. SMH! NOW....it is possible that by the end of Lebron's career that he could be talked about in top 5-10 category but to me, until further notice, Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time. And again, this is why Lebron left Cleveland. You need rings in order to be in MJ discussion.

2. Right....*sigh*

I believe scottie pippen is done talking after getting a personal letter from the all-time leader scorer in nba history but besides that i dont care how good you are scoring, passing and rebounding if you dont win a title even with all them skills it dont mean nothing the reason why you play the game to win championships

To a certain extent, I don't think your total legacy should be about titles. I mean look at Horry. He has 7 (I think it's 7) titles, but he's not in the conversation of top 25 to 50 all time. Is titles the ultimate goal? Yes, but idk i just don't know if they should determine legacy. At the end of the day, you're right as far as how the league views it.

Whether or not a player has a title in his resume should not define whether or not he's a great player. Allen Iverson is arguablly one of the greatest small men to ever play the game. He never won an title. Should he then be excluded from any "greatest" conversations? Heck no!

Dennis Johnson won titles with Boston. He was a decent PG, but he wasn't great in my eyes. Shoot, I liked Cornbread Maxwell better than him! Because Dennis won titles with Boston, should I now include him in "greatest" convos? Heck no.

For me, how good a player is/was should be defined by how good the player is/was, and not by things he can't control by himself, like winning a championship.

yeah horry has 7 and no i dont think titles should make a whole legacy but when your being compared to the greatest ball player of all-time you have to bring that into account... just off of lebrons stats in cleveland hes a hall of famer but G.O.A.T he is not.

Your right we are screwing up Robert Horry deserves far more credit

Quote

Robert Keith Horry (pronounced /ˈɒri/; born August 25, 1970) is a retired American basketball player. He played 16 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA), winning seven championships, the most of any player not to have played on the 1960s Boston Celtics. He is one of only two players to have won NBA championships with three different teams: two with the Houston Rockets, three with the Los Angeles Lakers and two with the San Antonio Spurs. Because of his clutch shooting in important games, he has earned the nickname "Big Shot Rob".[1][2]

People fell to realize that Kareem (in the letter) didn't acknowledge Jordan as the greatest...ijs!!!

Welp, it's game time yall! Will Dallas tie this series or will Miami take a 2-0 lead? I got Miami winning in a VERY CLOSE game. Dallas has to do a better job rebounding. Tonight is a must win for Dallas...absolute must win! Teams that go up 2-0 in the Finals usually win the series around 90% of the time.

blyempowered · « **Reply #1652 on:** June 02, 2011, 08:51:28 PM »

This little run by Dallas with the technical foul shows why if and when Miami wins the title, Lebron should be MVP. When he's out, Miami doesn't play well.

blyempowered · « **Reply #1653 on:** June 02, 2011, 08:57:50 PM »

See this is why the Miami Heat are tough because if Lebron is out or off, you got DWade.....SMH!!!

blyempowered · « **Reply #1654 on:** June 02, 2011, 09:06:27 PM »

Yeah, objectively speaking, DWade got hit.....

Yeah he did. Too bad he didn't get a call.

blyempowered · « **Reply #1656 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:04:09 PM »

Yeah, I'm agreeing with those who believe that Dallas losing that lead in 2nd quarter were also losing the game too....SMH!

But Dallas trying a little something.....

blyempowered · « **Reply #1657 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:24:57 PM »

Welp, looks like this game (and maybe series too) is over.....SMH!!! Dirk is shooting awful but it may be more of a byproduct of Miami's scorching defense.....SMH!!!

blyempowered · « **Reply #1658 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:39:29 PM »

WHAT THE WORLD IS GOING ON IN MIAMI????.....SMH!!! Dallas has came back with a huge run!!
