Such a perfect picture to fit a the king with no crown, and for Dirk who actually deserved it. Experience and talent is better then a team who can run fast and jump high, the veterans won for a reason so, congrats to the Mavericks for an amazing series and for some of the future 'Hall-Of-Famers. Ridirkulous
so good
everyone gets a ring!
The only way "wanting it" can really affect your game is something like a willingness to take big hits or push into people more...Heat guys like Haslem and Miller obviously doggedly wanted it. I think people are taking the way the teams operated period (Mavericks as brutally efficient, Heat winning with athleticism more) and trying to say that because the latter failed, the Mavericks must have "wanted it more". Just like in every series, the Mavericks played to their opponent's pace and then ultimately by hanging around enough wore that opponent's strategy out.
who'd have thought of the Howard for Butler, Haywood, Stevenson trade, DeShawn would make the biggest impact in the Finals?!

Who knew Damien Woody was so clever?
It was great to see LeBron humbled on his home court, in front of the only people who like him. I'm curious to see if the residents of Dallas or Cleveland are happier about LeBron losing.
Nowitzki and Kidd would have been Hall of Famers even if they lost, but it's great to see the veterans get their first championship--especially since this was Kidd's third attempt.
I do expect the Heat to win at least one championship in the future, but I'm glad this was the Mavs' year.
Some credit needs to be given to Rick Carlisle. He completely outcoached Spoelstra.
Starting Barea, not playing Peja, playing Cardinal, and the timely zones all were big factors in this series. Spoelstra simply didn't make the necessary adjustments to win. Bibby started the first five games of the series, what was Spoelstra thinking?

Although he is criticized a lot, Spoelstra isn't that bad of a coach. He has a great defensive mind. His in-game adjustments need work but I think he will get better.
Down goes the Heat, great series.
Like I say on IRC... as a Hawks fan (really I am. you can check past threads if you think I'm bullshitting) I don't have much to cheer for. I gotta be happy sometimes :(
Besides man. Did you see how many people jumped on the Mavs bandwagon when the series started? ALL the Lakers fans. heh.
lol. If you hop on a team at a time of success you are pretty much a bandwagon fan. Like it or not....
