7'4 and shoting fade aways. What a packer. The Mavs will soon fade away also.

If you were watching no way he was getting to the rim. He is also virtually unblockable when he fades away. He is the best fade away shooter in the game today and possibly top 3 in history. When he fades away and has a great look like he had, it's just a matter or not if he happens to make that shot. You just hold your breath as a defense.

Good win by the heat.

[/quote] Why would anyone 7'4 have to shoot a fade away??? Unless he is scared to make contact ??? Just like the first time they lost to the heat, the game plain is to knock him down a few times and he starts chocking ??? Typical Europen player, soft and weak inside. Have you ever seen anyone over 7 foot ever have to shoot a fade away??

Why if you were 7'0 foot and had the talent would you not shoot fad-a-ways? It gives you more versatility. He can dominate from 14 foot out or right at the rim. Let me rephrase your question. Have you ever seen a 7 footer in the league today have the ability to do it as effective as Dirk can?

[/quote] Why would anyone over 7' have to shoot a fade away, unless hes one of those White Men that cant jump, Or is it that he avoides contact at all cost?? But you are right he does have great skill for a 7 footer but the game is won in the paint, and he cant play there ??? ::)

You know, that have been my argument about Dirk since he's been in the league.  'he's a 7 footer and shoots fall away jumpers on short people when he can just rise up over them'.  After seeing him this season and post season, I JUST NOW can appreciate what he can do.  You know the old saying, 'if it's not broke, don't fix it'.  this applies to Dirk.  If you see him play, it's like he's playing 'horse'.  Those shots are undefensable.  He do it with ease, he consistantly makes the shot AND he's consistant doing it in this post season.  Forget about years past, it's about 'what have you done for me lately', which is showing RESULTS.  Also, on top of that, Dirk is not a big softy like I've thought in the past.  When he got angry and took a technical foul by pushing one of the Laker's players around, I realized that Dirk may also now be an ENFORCER, which is needed to shed his 'softy' roll.  There are not many good 7 footers in the league now, but I have to say Dirk, IMO, may be in the top 3 nowadays.  And THAT'S saying a lot comming from me.

He has to shoot fall aways against other 7 footers. So that is what he spends countless hours practicing. So why would he change his shot if a 6'8" guy is on him? He makes a higher percentage of fade away one legged jumpers then 96% of the players in the world make while uncontested. Its part of his game that is completely unguardable no matter who is guarding him or the situation.

Are you kidding? He cant play in the paint? Go look up his stats. He can just about play from where ever he wants too.

I thought i was watching the Cleveland vs. Boston game from last year. LeBron flat out QUIT! period. He can't handle the pressure of a big game.

lebron isn't mentally tough enough, which is why he should never be in the same sentence as Jordan!!!

I bet LeBron goes off with 30 points and close to a triple double, then people on ESPN can go make a big deal about something else.. Point is he played a unaggressive and uninvolved.. Anybody wanna go against what I say for next game in Dallas? Something was wrong, but no one looked into it like they did for Dirk, who yet again has to have something wrong with him.. Jesus, I have never seen a bigger set-up of excuses for a team if they lose this series than what has happened for Dallas..

Want a realistic opinion here? Miami will win this series now because they have home court that cannot be taken away AND if Dallas fans or Heat Haters are hoping for another 15 point collapse then they need to find something else to watch because Miami wont lose at home

    • Are you really gonna talk about decorum from a President while supporting the guy who effectively has no such decorum? Just last night the former president (and would-be despot) was in Arizona talking with Tucker Carlson and fantasized about Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad… after calling her dumb, of course.     Trump didn’t just “defecate all over the office of the President”…. He is a piece of excrement.  
    • I personally hope PN-G gets 2nd gets to the 2nd round wins the flip against SOC and drag them them to Houston to play 
    • I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1. I-N-D-I-A-N-S! - Scalp ‘em Indians, Scalp ‘em!  😎
    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
