The Perpetual NBA Thread

actually, miami played a bad game. they shot poorly from free the 3-pt area & free throw line. what won it for miami is their defense, anchored by mourning. dallas could have had a chance with shaq in the game. but when mourning was in, he was either blocking shots, challenging layups/drives, boxing-out for rebounds or setting hard picks for wade. he played up to exhaustion, he was breathing so hard during the 3rd quarter(?) but he still managed to block a howard layup! as a result, dallas had to go for outside shots w/c were likewise challenged by other heat players and that became their downfall. there was no take-charge guy for dallas, no-win-ski was not driving hard enough to get fouls & free throws. there was no 'true' point guard for dallas to stabilize the team. johnson was out-coached by riley & he didnt have a defensive answer for wade. as a team, dallas whined when they lost while miami simply didnt blame anybody else for losing the 1st 2 games. i think "cuban's whistle crisis" didnt help endear dallas to the refs or nba.

I still can't imagine how lucky Antoine is for getting a ring... hehe.

Actually, I'm happy that the one sa Solar sports, US commentary, sa RPN local commentary, so I only had to endure QH during the post-game ceremonies dahil di pinakita sa Solar.

alonzo definitely deserves to get the ring. he will be missed if he decides to retire. the heat may be hard pressed to go at it for the 2nd time without mourning subbing for shaq.

i think the heat should get a more consistent 3rd scoring option and replace walker..

can't sometimes stand quinito's comments, minsan nanunuod ako naka mute ang tv. he even questions the subsitutions / tactics of riley, a future hall of fame coach.

ahhh yun pala yun hehehe... thanks! oh man, also I think they should atleast lessen the screaming

I mean it amazes me how they still have their voices at the end of the game after screaming at every dunk or attempt at the 3 ...

hehehe siguro toine is laughing so hard now... getting bashed about everything, getting traded everywhere... but who has has the ring now?

dami rin nagsasabi si shaq non factor sa series but I think he did his job well. It may not show the numbers but without him getting all those double teams(with dirk coming to help) there was no big man down the middle to stop the pull up shot and drives of dwade. it also allowed others like toine's favorite shot the 3 pointer... it allowed posey and white chocolate to hoist 2's and 3's from outsite.

interesting off season for miami(as a heat fan) pero atleast sa next release ng nba live heat and mavs na yun default team

.... J-HO .... hahaha!

yuppp...Zo is a defensive force in game 6...you can see in his eyes the intensity, the heart and will to win no matter what the odds.....

He's one of those players who plays every game with all their heart....and I do like Zo for that......a team mate like him, you can go to any war any given day and you know that he will give it all for the team and its a big advantage already.....a well deserved ring for Big Zo....
