Le-choke fails again in the 4th, Mavs up 3-2

Dallas winning the championship would be a great story on may levels. Miami winning would just stink. Dallas has team oriented play and many very skillful smart players. That said, I still fear Miami. If both teams become tight, size and athletism will beat out brains and shooting touch.

This series has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Do you really think it will end at the next game? If it goes seven it won't be good for Dallas.

By the way, I think, even though I really can't stand him, Lebron has been mistreated by press. I also think the Miami bench is much much better than they are given credit for. In fact often I hate to see them off the bench because they do so much.

Lebron throws down a triple double in the playoffs and people still whine about him. Face it he's the new Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Larry Bird rolled into 1.

Obviously you didn't read this post:

That had to be the weakest triple double in Finals history. 10 exactly for rebounds/assists and only 17 points.

For those 17 point, he shot 8/19 from the field, including 0/4 from 3 pt line. More importantly, he had only had TWO free throw opportunities. TWO! That's unacceptable from a scorer. Of the two, he missed one.

He had 4 turnovers against his 10 assists.

Of his 10 rebounds, 9 were defensive rebounds.

There's more to a triple-double than meets the eye...and if you were alive during/watched the Jordan era, you know that MJ never disappeared in the 4th quarter like LeBron has (not just for Miami, but also Cleveland in '10).

Sir Lancelot,

Now don't get oppositional on this just because Dallas has become America's team. There are many great story lines here and you are smart enough to see them.

1 The abused Dirk who for years had to deal with the label of choker and soft after 06

2 Smart skilled veterans like jason Kidd and Marion and Dirk who have never won have a chance.

3 The self appointed greatest player who handled his "anouncement" with both tremendous arrogance and insensitivity to his fans might lose.

4 Collusion between three allstars to take a championship might not work.

5 Tactless punks mocking Dirks illness

6 JJ Barea the smallest player in the NBA making a statement, Jason Terry taking on big physically over powering LeBron.

7 Star power taking on the underdog and maybe losing.

By the way the Miami bench players scored more points on Dallas than they gave up in game 5. Not so for the starters

Am I biased for Dallas, of course when you root for a team you are not neutral.

I will give you that the word "punks" was too strong but this wasn't private, it was tactless and it was a planned performance for the media. (These guys don't learn) Would you see dirk and kidd walking into Miami limping holding their hip mocking Wade and later making comments about Wade being a drama queen. They have too much class for that.

I hate Miami but come on. What they did was so innocent and really a non-story. Yet ESPN and sports media will try to make something huge out of nothing and idiots like you buy into it.

I also hate the Mavs, just saying.
