That is the best game Ive seen in years this will go down as one of the best finals games ever. Best game since Reggie Miller in 98 vs the Bulls lol

The Bulls played the defense the Mavs played for a whole damn series and couldn't win...that's why...Rose is not 7 feet tall and being guarded by Bosh...he was a little over 6 feet tall and guarded by Lebron...huge difference...

I love the way the refs handed Dallas the game. Although to have the script end with Dirk owning Bosh with 3 seconds left was genius.

I am soooooooo rooting for Dirk to win...it would be so big...he is playing his heart out. And I want Kidd to win too. Can't wait for Game 3 Sunday...have to see what adjustments are made and if this turns the series...

This. And it honestly has nothing to do w/ the Heat. Dirk and Kidd are just guys that "need" a ring. LBJ and Bosh are most likely going to get their rings eventually...Wade already has one...but if Kidd and Dirk retire w/out a ring, it'll be a head-scratcher.

LBJ gave Dallas the game not the refs why does everyone on this board always blame the refs?

LBJ in the last 8mins played terrible basketball he was just dribbling the clock out then chucking bad shots truly terrible execution.

no the difference is Kidd plays smart at pg and slows the game down and they have much better role players than Chicago IMO.

lol I agree with you

I just love how the refs have been responsible for the victories for the past 2 weeks, not tonight though.

The problem for the Bulls was those bad shots went in against Chicago.

They didn't take those shots they did tonight vs you. those shots were circus shots tonight Lebron took at least 3 fade away 3s with 2 defenders on him.


But I will agree to a degree i mean Drose only shot 6% vs LBJ so your star as a 7fter helps. But I think Boozer not doing shit was a big reason why you guys lost.

I didn't watch enough of the game to really comment on the officiating one way or another, the only questionable (non)call I saw was when Wade blew up at a ref, jumped up and down and was screaming at him when he thought he got fouled, and wasn't T'd up...if that was Jason Terry, he's T'd up before he gets a chance to yell at the ref.

Ya that was terrible but I loveed how LBJ and Dwade celebrate with 3 mins left like they won the title pretty damm funny.


Dwade and LBJ are two of the worst complainers to the refs in the league much worst than a normal NBA player I mean Danny Granger bitches but LBJ is on another level of bitching.

Meh, it works for him. We call it complaining, heat fans call it "working the ref's". lbj complains about one call, and gets the next. part of the cruelty of the game. The best are allowed to be better than everyone else when they make mistakes.

Well I would like to see Rose "work the refs" a lot more then.

They weren't necessarily circus shots against Chicago, but quite a few were questionable at the very least. But he just shot so well late.

It's obvious that 2(maybe 3) superstars is better than one. If Rose didn't have it, the Bulls didn't have a shot.

idk if he ever will...he's much more introverted. But you never know. He's 6 years younger than James, I think...

Brandon Roy learned to do it. I'm sure Rose can too.

He's definitely too modest, which I like about him. I can't stand how outspoken James is.

FYI
James-December 30, 1984 (26)
Rose-October 4, 1988 (22)
