Re: 2006 NBA Playoffs Thread man... thought miami would split it.. =/ heat have to work hard to even up at home.
Re: 2006 NBA Playoffs Thread What da hell does this mean??? Suns and Pistons didnt even make it to the finals. Where have u been dude, Its the Mavericks and the Heat!!!! Now that the series is tied 2-2, I think its going down to the wire for a game 7. Wade is stepping his game up and looks unstoppable. Dirk has to play better and quit shooting jumpers. He's a 7 footer who has post moves, so he should take advantage of that. I think this is a very good series because both teams are enjoyable to watch, plus there are plenty of star power.
I didnt expect D-Wade to be this good. I watched him play back in Marquette when he led the Golden Eagles to the Final Four. He had game then but right now he is a beast. I am glad to see D-Wade win a championshop because he deserves it. He doesnt have an ego and lets his game do the talking. Thats what I respect most about him. Im also glad to see Gary Payton and Zo win a title. GP is from my home town of Oakland CA along with Jason Kidd. These two guys are Oakland legends that used to rule the Oakland courts back in the days. As for Alonzo, his game aint pretty but dude has heart and determination. He battled agaisnt odds that almost ruined his career. Also glad to see Shaq win another one, so he could shove that trophy to Kobe's face.
omg Kobe>>>>Shaq i wanted the mavs to win, but congrats to the heats and wade especially, he deserved it.
I personally find it sad that Miami won. You have a very respectable Dallas lineup lose to a team with no sportsmanship (with the exception of maybe Wade). Riley (Fires the Coach that made this team a title team) Payton (trash talker..jumps bandwagon) Mourning (Refused to play for a non playoff team..jumps bandwagon) Oneal (Talked shit to Yao/John Stockton in public for no apparent reason) Walker (Everything is wrong with this guy).
You just described 80% of the NBA players. Im not too thrilled about Walker and J Williams winning one, but for all the trash talking Payton has done, as a Oakland native I wanted to see him win one. Mourning deserves a lot of respect because he was able to play through his illness. Who doesnt jump bandwagon these days?? You see absolutely no team loyalty on the players part in every sports. Players will sign a fat contract to another team at a blink of an eye. As for Van Gundy being fired...coaches get fired all the time. Larry Brown, a hall of fame coach got fired and so did Rick Adelman who led a very successful Sacramento team during the Webber era. If you looked at who should win a championship that way, then most players and organizations dont deserve to win it all. It wasnt sad that Miami won...it was sad how Dallas lost when they had the championship within reach. Dallas will be there again next season. Hopefully next year they can find a way to contain D Wade. I doubt they will.
Payton and Morning have payed their dues been in the league so long...i think its great that they won...i personally hate them both (payton talks to much and morning didnt want to play for the raptors after being traded here) lol...but lets put it this way now that they won a title they can retire now and we dont have to see them play no more.
