mattmatik Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I have to admit, the refs swallowed the whistle in the last 5 minutes. I don't think David Stern would have enjoyed a sweep ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/454178-official-2006-nba-basketball-playoffs/page/6/#findComment-587604060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Reid Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I have been saying this for well over a year now. If anyone is going to be the next Michael Jordan, it is NOT going to be LeBron James, it will be Dwyane Wade. I even asked Steve Kerr if he thought so on his column for yahoo, and I am pretty sure he answered it in his next article, but I think he reworded the question, so it would make a better story, because oddly enough a little girl asked the exact same qustion I did, with the exact same words. I dont know why I'm the only one who can see this. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=sk-p...=yhoo&type=lgns Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/454178-official-2006-nba-basketball-playoffs/page/6/#findComment-587604118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted June 14, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 14, 2006 Mavs will still win this series, but I agree, Stern would not have liked a sweep in this series.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2006 Eh, I expect Dallas to pull off Game 5 and if they don't, they will most likely take both games at home. The Heat are 10-1 at home and are horrible on the road.

I don't think David Stern would have enjoyed a sweep lol, their was bad calls on both sides, its funny when mia lose 2 games i didnt see dame refs they did about 15 bad calls vs mia in 2 games(well it was like 30 bad calls in 2 games 15 mia, 15 dal) and new its 20 bad call in 2 games at mia(about 10 to 10 bad calls) and the mavs Centers in game 3 were pushing morning in the 3rd, and the bad goaltending call vs shaq.

KzR Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Dirk totally had an offnight in Game 4. I was also surprised that Avery Johnson attempted not to double-team Shaq for a few possessions in the 3rd quarter. And of course, Shaq took advantage of it and scored one-on-one against Diop and Dampier. Alonzo Mourning's blocks were also emphatic, especially the one on Dirk's dunk attempt, woah! Jerry Stackhouse's flagrant foul in Shaq was cool too! Haha. I think Dallas' totally shut-down Shaq with their double-teams on him. Games 5 & 6 will depend on Wade to help Miami win the title.

Gfunk4life Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) shaq had a good game. 13 Rebounds;6-8 FG 75%;5-10 FT 50%;2 blocks;17 points on 29 mins but wade had a great game. this means nothing,if the heat lose next game they most take all 3 home games. dallas could lose if they know that means nothing, 4 games all home team wins. so i think mavs in7. at some point shaq will have a big game he will need to. who got more lucky Stackhouse or the heat when wade stopped shaq from getting up? shaq hand is the size of Stackhouse's face ;) lol, KzR we joined neowin a year 2 days diff. and i have about 200 more post Edited June 16, 2006 by rap4life Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/454178-official-2006-nba-basketball-playoffs/page/6/#findComment-587611120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted June 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2006 Dallas has to come up with an answer to Wade to at least slow him down and they also have to make their wide open shots. I remember yesterday in the second quarter, Griffin rebounded the ball three times in the same offensive possession and Dallas went 0-4 all from 3's in that possession. To me, that's a lack of banging in shots when they are wide open that pretty much dictated the game. Dallas has to rely less on 3's and more on attacking the basket.

I dont think their will be anyone that will be able to stop Wade. No matter what they do, it wont be enough. He can drive to the basket at will. He could seriously score on every possesion if he wanted. Thats what ****es me off so much about him, he could go for 40 every night, be he gets a decent shot, then passes off to one of the bum forwards. The only thing dallas can do is stop everyone else, and just dont even worry about wade, because hes going to score no matter what, especially when they are at home, or if they try to hurt him with some cheap foul. Who ever said they swallowed their wistles at the end of the game, you are so full of ****. I have never seen so many damn offensive fouls since i watched a duke game. Dallas had 24 fouls, Miami had 26, Dallas had 1 technical fould, Miami had 4. In the fourth quarter Dallas had 5 fouls, and Miami had 7. Did you even watch it?

L3thal Veteran Posted June 16, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2006 The refs call too many small fouls as well. Either way, I expect Dallas to come out in Game 5 and play Dallas basketball.

Gfunk4life Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Stackhouse suspension, he will not be in game 5, thats good for the heat. but i know he did a hard foul(to get shaq suspensed i bet)but he shouldnt get suspened. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Aqqs...ov=ap&type=lgns Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/454178-official-2006-nba-basketball-playoffs/page/6/#findComment-587616113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they are going to suspend other players for the exact same thing, they for sure have to do it here. Especially in a high profile game as this, and it dosnt help that it was on a fast break, also it being on the largest player in the league, and if you are going to knock O'Neal out like that, its going to take alot of force, which is alot more force then should be needed on any play, period.

L3thal Veteran Posted June 18, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2006 In my opinion, this suspension was over the top. Shaq was running at full speed and Stackhouse did what every player does, which is foul the player on his way up. The reason why Shaq fell was because he was running at top speed and so was Stackhouse, hence why he fell.

I am Reid Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 It kinda sucks that only like 3 or 4 people on this whole damn site actually care about basketball. The sports section on neowin kinda sucks, but i guess thats to be expected. As is with most sites on the internet, becuase oddly people who use computers alot dont usually follow sports. strange Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/454178-official-2006-nba-basketball-playoffs/page/6/#findComment-587622295 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted June 20, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hopefully the Heat wrap it up tonight... This is coming from a die hard Knicks fan, but I am all about Shaq getting another ring without Kobe, and DW is the real deal. You have to love his game if you are a fan of the sport itself. With that said, the Mav's are also fun as all hell to watch. Dirk is also the real deal, but he is looking like a little girl the way the Heat's defense is man handling him... Still they run up and down the court with the best of them, and it is without a doubt entertaining to watch.. So, I am hoping that after tonight, Dirk can listen to all the David Hasselhoff he wants, cause like Charles and Kenny say, the Mavs are Going Fishing soon enough... :rofl: I truly believe that even though the last two games are at home for the Mavs, at this point it is more a mental game than anything else. The Heat have seen that they can beat the Mavs, they are only one game away instead of two, so I think the Heat will pull it off, even if it is in Game 7, and even if it is barely...
