    Miami should win this by 6-10 points.

    Good God. What a play by Wade and James.

    It is absolutely over for the rest of us for the next five years.

    I recommend Judge Judy if you're interested in Justice, come back to the finals if you want to watch two teams that know how to play defense and run a pick and roll.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, there was a lot of sloppiness, but both teams were playing really nice defense. Dallas impressed me, despite losing. They're definitely for real. Not as good as the Heat, but not really fortunate to win the west.

    Should be a fun series.

    I still have Dallas in 6.

    Otherwise, screw every other team except the Blazers.

    It's probably just me, but does anyone else think that Jason Terry and Flavor Flav were separated at birth?

    Hubie Brown made a great point this morning on Mike & Mike about how Dallas's d.

    They were in the zone for the majority of the first half, and had the percentages in their favor while they were playing it. But they immediately got out of it just because MIA hit a few threes. He kept stressing how coaches need to track the # of possessions when they're successful in it and take a long-term approach to deciding which D to use.

    Unless Carlisle realizes that and prevents Wade/Bron from getting into the paint, this series is over.

    Carlisle is prone to dumb moves.

    LeBron was 4 of 4 on threes at one point. He had to adjust to that.

    The real travesty if the Heat win the series, is that Jesuit High School can claim a hand in the title through Spoelstra.

    God damn Jesuit.

    Odd to see Miami get the short end of the stick from the refs.

    Heat playing as hard as they can and they're still losing. I feel sad for them. Mavs are too good. Cue the crying.

    This game is playing out just like Game 1, so far.

    Stevenson is worthless. And DAL can't commit this many turnovers. MIA is unstoppable on the fast break.
