Any NBA fans out there?

Personally I think it's ridiculous we worship sports stars and reward them with multi million dollar contracts and pay teachers and law enforcement officer Mcdonalds wages!

It's an easy fix. Charge each student to sit in class. You know.$50-$80 to sit in the back, $400-$500 to sit in the front. The chalk boards could have rolling advertising and maybe the teacher could have sponsors like Saxon and Schoolastics. Don't forget the t-shirt guns!

Not to drag this tread off topic but it really bothers me to pay +$200 to take my son to an NBA game.

I also agree that the players get paid way too much. What happened to "I play because I love the game"? With a possible lockout this July, we might be witnessing the last of Basketball for the year.

With Football facing the same fate, I guess I better find a new sport to watch until they get both sorted out.

Thank god for AFM, SBK, Moto GP :laugh:
 
I'll also man up and say that Miami looks pretty good. I still have to root for the Mav's but the Heat's defense is TOUGH!!

The Mav's better win Tomorrow or the series is all but over.:bowdown:
 
The Mav’s fans are crying about the 3 point shot that shouldn’t have counted to close out the 1st period, and it shouldn’t have counted as it was a back court violation. But none of them are crying about how many bogus calls the Mav’s got that allowed them extra free throws to even get within a few points, let alone the amount of no-calls that the Heat didn’t get when they should have. IMO, that was some of the most lopsided finals officiating I have ever seen. I did a search to see how many fouls were called in game 3 and I found a Jason Whitlock article about the crappy officiating of game 3; here is some of it.

If the Mavericks can’t beat Miami inside the American Airlines Center on a night Chris Bosh plays with one good eye, LeBron James struggles with his stroke and the refs openly flirt with Mark Cuban, then it’s preposterous to believe Dallas can win this series.

This wasn’t a two-point game. This was a millionaire armed with Viagra, condoms and a best-of-Barry White CD striking out at The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

As you read this, J.J. Barea is bricking another wide-open 3-pointer and the refs are waking Nowitzki from a nap to send The Germanator back to the free-throw line.
Seriously, how did Dallas lose this game?

The refs called nearly twice as many fouls on Miami (27-14) as Dallas. Down the stretch, the refs sent Nowitzki to the stripe for no reason and looked the other way when Shawn Marion flew into LeBron James.

There are two theories to explain Sunday’s officiating:
1) Cuban called in his marker from 2006.
2) The refs are trying to stop James and Dwyane Wade from turning basketball into soccer.

I’m going with No. 2. Wade and James are disgracing the game with their flopping and whining. Maybe I’m romanticizing the NBA glory years, but I don’t remember basketball being played this way by Jordan, Magic, Larry, Isiah, Duncan, Hakeem, etc.
 
Thanks for bumping this up. I was looking for it!
Close game.


LET'S GO

Where are the Heat fans? No, I am not a Mavericks fan. I am a NBA fan and agree with Barkley, which isn't often, the Heat just rub me the wrong way. Lebron had an empty triple double. I always thought Dirk was soft but he has been bringing it this entire playoffs. He whipped my Lakers so I have to root for him.
 
That game last night really pissed me off; my Heat are falling apart at the worst times. I got to give it up to the Mavs though, they have been flawless when it counts! The Heat can still win this with both 6 and 7 being in Miami but its going to be hard. I knew the second we lost game two that we would be coimng out of Dallas down 3-2. I see the Heat coming on strong to take game 6 then a nail bitter for game 7. Lets go Heat.
 
Coporate America has already made the decision the Heat Three are not gonna be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Cover will read in big blue letters:
DIRK


Has nothing to do with 95% free throw ratio :whistle:
 
That you did, I called the Mavs in 7. I pray we are both wrong. Come on Heat, lets get going. The Lakers won last year being in the same spot the Heat are in now.

The Lakers - Boston series went the exact same way, to date, as the current Mavs - Heat series. I hope game 6 and 7 don't follow suit.

Lakers - Game 1 (Heat)
Bostons - Game 2 (Mavs)
Lakers - Game 3 (Heat)
Boston - Game 4 (Mavs)
Boston - Game 5 (Mavs)
Lakers - Game 6
Lakers - Game 7
