The 2005-2006 NBA Season Discussion Thread

So the Mavs win it tonight, pitting them against the Heat in the finals. Even though they've managed to get this far, I still don't think they will win the whole thing. There's just something about the way they've been playing in the playoffs that leads me to believe that they can't beat the Heat in a best of seven series. I predict the Heat will win the series in six games.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So the Mavs win again, and are now up 2-0. They're definitely playing better than I expected them to against the Heat, and now look poised to win the entire thing (though that would look pretty bad for the Heat if they manage to get swept by them in the finals).

The next game is on Tuesday in Miami, so we get to see how the Heat do on their on home court. If they don't win this next one, things will look pretty bad for them.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Dwayne Wade won the game.

Seriously though, that was a good game, and it definitely wasn't a blowout like the last one. If the Heat keep playing like this, I can see the series ending with a down to the wire Game 7.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, it looks like I predicted it right, with the Heat winning the championship after six games. Though it certainly didn't look like this was gonna happen after the first two games, the Heat came back and won four in a row, a surprising feat only achieved by two other teams in league history.

Even though this wasn't a down to the wire Game 7, it was still a pretty good game. The Heat certainly had the lead for the majority of game but, especially in the fourth quarter, the Mavs managed to give them a run for their money. The Heat played well all throughout though, which is what led them to victory tonight. I'll give it up for the Mavs, but my congratulations goes to the Miami Heat, for winning their first championship.

And man, how much do Dallas fans suck? They can't even be civil while Miami is being presented with their trophy. I mean, I know no one expects them to cheer for them, but they certainly don't have to boo them. Shit, the game is over, and if they have nothing good to say or do, they should just leave already.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I wasn't that pleased by it. Maybe it's just me, but the way he did it just seemed like he was being sarcastic or something about it. I mean, he got on the court and started slowly doing these big claps, so it just looked weird to me, like he didn't really mean it. I'm probably just reading too much into it, though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
