see that block on rip by shaq? taking down the court and finishing with the layup was a thing of beauty.... 😆well the heat havent surprised me, they have the players to be a winner and now they seem to be playing together more. shaqs playing a lot better and wade... well.. as good as ever.
mavs to go 3-1 up in the next game versus the suns!
Shaq is not playing better than Wade. Hes playing good, but not better than Wade. Wade is the reason they won game 3 because after that run by the Pistons he took over and went out. That's his job, to win the game. Shaq just keeps it close or keeps them with the 10 point lead.
And the Mavs have to get past the Suns first before they beat the Heat. I doubt the Mavs will win 2 in a row on the road. GO SUNS!

Read what he said again Dan, he wasnt saying Shaq is playing better than Wade just that they are both playing well.
The Pistons havent played a solid 48 minutes since game 1 of the Cavs series, they have managed to put together a few surges to get them this far but they are awful on both ends of the court right now.
Give the Heat credit though, they are finally playing like a team with that much talent should be. Wade has been unstoppable, but when he is shooting nearly 70% for the series you know something is up with the Pistons defense. Riley has out coached Saunders in every aspect, it seems like the Heat have been waiting all year to get even with the Pistons and now they are all stepping up their games.
well the way teh heat are playing i think if its a heat mavs finals its gonna be close... avery johnson is an awesome coach and has done well to give the scoring mavs a good boost of defence. riley, whatever you think of the man has experience in abundance. i'd love to see zo get a ring... but i'm still with the mavs.
I am in disbelief at how crappy Jason Terry has played in this series. The guy was money against the Spurs, yet he doesn't seem half as good in this one and he's facing arguably the worst defending point guard in the league.
I still see the Mav's taking it. With little rest, it would surprise me if Phoenix can keep shooting the three really well. As your legs go, so does your jump shot.
Saying that, game five could very well decide the series. I don't think Phoenix could beat Dallas in a game seven with tired legs but saying that, I don't know if Dallas could beat the Sun's with Phoenix flying around the court and their fans going crazy on every three. Should be interesting.
One thing is for sure, Nash did not deserve the MVP this year. You tell me if Dallas could've beat the Spurs or Cleavland taking Detroit to seven games with Dirk or Lebron disappearing like Nash did for most of the Clipper's series and still winning.
My Top 5 players in the draft:
1.Rudy Gay(Uconn)
2.Adam Morrison(Gonzaga)
3.Marcus Williams(Uconn)
4.Tyrus Thomas(LSU)
5.J.J. Reddick(Duke) <--- i dont know about this one though
I think out of all of them Rudy Gay will be the superstar. hopefully he can go to houston and learn from one of the best(Tmac). Marcus Williams i just love him, hes a great player i think he'll be a great player in the NBA, if you watched him during college in his last season he just had all the intangebles. he is extremely clutch and a great shooter(left handed too), i was right about Chris Paul being an all star in this league before his draft hopefully im right with these guys.

Oh well. When the team is losing its Nash's fault, when the team wins it's not Nash's win.
doesnt matter what you think, on paper that suns team shouldnt have gotten this far. nash has been a catalyst for the suns still being a deadly team. while he hasnt always played teh best he has made some key plays in many of those games. mvp in my opinion. if they hadnt got past the lakers and clippers then maybe not. but hes proving people wrong.

mvp is about what you do during the season not the playoffs. your opinion should never change because of the playoffs because getting the mvp isnt based on what you do in the playoffs
yeh but its shown just how important he is to the team if they wanna win. dirks been playing amazing, but he has a better supporting cast than nash does. he won the mvp last year because the suns were a huge surprise when nash joined and made marion and amare into premier players. now amares gone and the suns are still on of the better teams in the league thanks to nash's continued good play. in my opinion some of the suns players wouldnt be half as solid on other teams
