Dang, mavs played bad down the stretch, dirk and Kidd sat way to long in the third. I'll give credit to miamis D but coach rick Has to take this one. Barea missed alot of shots he normally makes and Peja is still slumping. They have to steal this next one or the series won't go back to Miami.

I don't consider game 2 a must win. The home team is expected to win. Now if Dallas can win their home games they will be up 3-2 and that puts all the pressure on the heat to win. Like I said earlier this format favors the mavericks. It would be nice for the mavs to steal one but it's not a must. Finals don't start until someone wins on the road.

4-2 mavs!
They really slacked yest! JJ and the bench was off, which is a big game for mavs!
I just dont understand how people are saying we are getting our doors blown off when we were off and kept the game no more the 7 points until mid 4th qtr?
Mavs will do just fine! just Id say win the next 2 n lose one in dallas n its all game for dallas!

Momentum is going to the more desperate team. Great teams are expected to win their home games, championship teams win on the road. So again it would be nice for Mavs to steal one early but it's not a must win yet. If Mavs can go up 3-2 after five games then they can close out Heat in a 1 out of 2 games (games 6 and 7). Dirk may not be himself now that he'll have to be wearing a splint on his finger, luckily it's not his shooting hand. We'll see how this affects him Thursday.

Dam, the Mavs better bounce back, the LeBrick's pole swingers will not let this down if he somehow gets his ring, some idiots at ESPN are already counting the Mavs out. F**k

I think lebron and espn have some kind of contract going. Ive never seen such biased nut swinging analyst towards one team in the finals, so much talk about the "decision", every return from a commercial was centered on the big 3. They don't talk about how the mavs lost there #2 man in Caron butler, or how everyone ruled out Dallas since the first round.

Well ESPN tends to pole jock out of most eastern Teams, especially the Red Sox. But I've never heard them say anything bad or poke fun at Lebron like they do to other players. We get it! he's an excellent athlete but there are 12 other people on the team focus on them, beside D wade has much better charisma than Ledrone!

I first must say there is very little room for Dallas to make mistakes, miamis defense is so athletic at times that you can beat them in certain plays but there pure speed and strength can recover and defend. The mavs now have the homecourt advantage and could possibly win this series if they just win two games at home. Being on the road really doesn't effect either of these teams. Looking at both games it's basically miamis big 3 vs Dallas depth 8-9 man rotation. Barea and Peja have yet to show up so this is definitely in mavs favor. This series should go 7 and be epic but possibly 4-2 either way.
