There is no question that Dirk should be ahead of McHale IMO. McHale was a (much) better defender, but that's it. Dirk's a far better #1 option scorer, arguably a better rebounder, a better passer, much better clutch scorer, and he has more longevity and individual accolades. Also, Dirk's still going as strong as ever, so he will only continue to build on his career. I'd say BFT had it right...Duncan, Barkley, Malone and KG should be ahead of Dirk, but that's it.

Perfect sense? K-Mart is 33 with multiple micro-fracture surgeries and 70+ games played only once in the last 6 seasons. He's also in no way, shape or form a center, and the Heat already have arguably the best PF rotation in the league (Bosh/Haslem/James).

Quit bitching.

All depends on the new CBA. Assuming they have the same flexibility as the old CBA allowed, I'd resign Chalmers and Jones, ask Bibby to return for the minimum, sign Samuel Dalembert with the MLE, call up Dexter Pittman from the D-League, and fill in the blanks with minimum contracts... Chalmers/Bibby Wade/Jones LeBron/Miller Bosh/Haslem Dalembert/Anthony/Pittman Also, if Nash or Billups get bought out near the trade deadline, I'd jump on the opportunity to bring them in for the minimum.

LeBron is the best player on the team. He was the best during the regular season, in the Philly series, about even with Wade in the Boston series, and by far the best player in the Bulls series (when Wade was arguably as awful as LeBron was in the Mavs series). One series doesn't sway my opinion either way. It hurts his standing in the all-time rankings, but not who compares to him now...he was better than Wade throughout the year, better than Kobe who also had an awful series vs. these same Mavs in a sweep, better than Rose who was exposed by LeBron himself, etc...

Lmao that's amazing.

Well, up until now his legacy has been obliterated by the 2011 Finals. IMO he's still the best player in the NBA, but he has no business being in the discussion as one of the best ever until he makes up for it with 2-3 amazing Finals performances. This series was just awful...awful.

Simply put, the Heat over-rotated constantly on the Mavs' amazing ball movement, Carslile made all the right adjustments while Spo did not (along with Spo not installing a proper offense throughout the pre and regular seasons), and LeBron had the most disappointing series in NBA Finals history.

Congrats Mavs! Even though I really wanted to see Wade win another ring, I am really happy to see Kidd and Dirk finally win one. The Mavs were definitely the better team this series and really deserved to win.

Fun fact: LeBron and Wade both have played a little over 32min. Wade is a +1, and LeBron is a -26. Unbelievable.

& u think u kno alot about malt liquor but sry, u dont

Even though Spo has been thoroughly outcoached by Carslile this series, I've thought he's done a decent job...however, the one adjustment he has yet to make is to put Wade on Terry every minute he is one the court. House is plain awful defensively, Chalmers has a low bball IQ (especially in PnR situations), and LeBron is too flat-footed to keep up with him when Terry catched the ball off good team ball-movement. Wade has the size, athletcism and IQ to make life for Terry as difficult as possible, yet I constantly see House and Chalmers on Terry...that's unacceptable. Overall, once again a fantastic half of basketball in this series. The Heat are extremely lucky to be down by only 2pts with Dirk struggling so badly, and everyone knows that won't continue. They HAVE to slow Terry down if they are to have a chance.

Good idea, although I'm skeptical on how well it will work. Most drug addicts that spend a ton of money on drugs aren't blunt-heads, and drugs like coke and dope (heroin, oxy, etc...) are only in your system for 2-3 days tops. So, it won't be exactly difficult to beat those tests. Also, the testing does require a decent budget from the state, so there is a good chance they will be wasting a ton of money on testing people who aren't addicts while the addicts still find ways to slip through the cracks.

Just got back from the Cubs-Phillies game, had a lot of fun. The ballpark is amazing, although I don't know if I like it better than Yankee Stadium (although that may just be a bias). Game was good, with the Phillies winning 4-3 after trailing 3-0 after the top half of the first inning. The stadium was almost sold-out, and the fans in Philly are crazy. Also got a new, all black fitted Phillies cap which is sweet.

Wade and Dirk have a lot of bad blood (Dirk saying the refs handed the Heat a title and Wade coming back and saying Dirk choking was the reason Dallas lost, then them not shaking hands at the 2007 ASG), so it don't surprise me. However, they picked the worst possible time to do that in front of cameras.

No he wasn't, Brand played 2 seasons with the Bulls as a 20/10 player before being traded for Chandler.

Yes, it's a rebuttal that I ain't some strung out low-life. And yes, I would kick your whiny bitch ass.

Been sober nearly 5 months, been lifting 3x a week in that time and my bench is back up to 240lbs. There is no doubt in my mind (or almost anyone else's here) that I'd [expletive] you up.

When you can't remember if you pulled out of your girlfriend in time.

Bottom line is the Heat are built on their defense. When they let Dallas get it going early from the 3pt line, the Mavs can't be stopped (as seen with Terry's ridiculous 3pt shot over LeBron to seal the game), and the Heat don't have the kind of offense to out-duel them in that scenario. If the Heat are to win both games 6 and 7, they need to do their best to shutdown the Terry/Barea combo, and LeBron absolutely must be more aggressive in looking for his shot. This series has been an embarrasment of epic proportions for him, and if he wants his first ring he's going to have to play to his capabilities.

Hahahaha this thread is hilarious...Boston sucks and ECN sucks. I'd [expletive] you up.

Pic of shirt here! Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I've only listened to a few songs and Royce was easily better. Eminem was a bit hard to listen to on a few of these songs.
