NBA finals Dallas has to win game 2

[primetime]

This^.....is the quote of the thread IMO!

Too bad it took seven years and millions of dollars to help Lebron "find himself!"

The good news is that I never spent one penny of my money on him.......

Hopefully Dan Gilbert and company can find a true leader for the Cavs. We're like the six million dollar man when it comes to our sports teams; "we can rebuild"..........

You know Dan Gilbert is praying so hard that the Mavs win the title. I bet he is calling Mark Cuban and offering any resource he can help with. Need to fuel the Mavs plane on the way to Miami? Gilbert will pay it off! Mavs need hotel accomodations? Call Big Dan!!

If the Mavs win, I wonder if Dan will give comments....

Well Dan Gilbert has never been shy about making comments before. He basically called Lebron the anti-Christ when he left. lol

Well I haven't heard anything to support that, but I haven't been playing that much attention either.

I did hear a new word on local radio today; "MAVALIERS!" That describes the Cavs fan rooting for the Mavericks. Clevelanders can be coldly creative when they want to.........

If the Mavs win, I wonder if Dan will give comments....

Maybe so....it's not like he's at a loss for words where Mr. James is concerned huh?

But Gilbert's got enough problems of his own with the state (greedy ass Governor Kasich in specific) trying to get his casino projects off the ground. He'll be blasting Kasich in public soon enough and that'll be even more entertaining than Lebron......trust me!

Yeah, he earned every penny of that $100,000 fine didn't he?

But he's not doing too badly with the #2 and 4 picks and whoever he can get from free agency so.......

Yeah, if the Heat loses, every microphone in the country will be in his face!

He sure did. You don't hear owners coming out to the media and blasting any player much less the way Dan Gilbert did. Hey kis, did you see the go Mavs shirts made from the go Cavs logo recently. Theres clearly hate there and I love it! Nice of him to disappear again in the fourth quarter. Its like he doesn't care. Just let Wade and Bosh carry the team and throw up a wild shot once and awhile. I wish you Clevelanders well with the 2nd and 4th picks. For now, go MAVS! I hope they crush Miami in game 6 in their gym.

Well I don't want to take this too far off topic, but I will say this. Now I'm not sure EXACTLY how it went down, but imagine:

Be Dan Gilbert sitting the dinner table; you get a phone call telling you to watch ESPN special.....it's Lebron James making his "decision." You're the team owner; no head's up, no warning he was going to leave....nothing. Now you've managed to get your casino bill won....and no Lebron James? Do you know how much money that man lost with that "decision?" I don't have exact figures, but I heard it was about 200 million, give or take. Lebron's lucky Gilbert didn't have his legs broken! Getting fined 100K for cussing him out on the internet was a sweet deal IMO.......that's if you're Mr. James, that is.

Hey kis, did you see the go Mavs shirts made from the go Cavs logo recently. Theres clearly hate there and I love it!

They were burning #23 jerseys in the streets, nothing around here surprises me.....at all!

I haven't watched any games so I don't know how he's doing......it also equates to I don't really care either. Nothing he has ever done put a dollar in my pocket or improved my quality of life. This makes for great discussion and even some banter with others, but otherwise, it does nothing for me.

I wish you Clevelanders well with the 2nd and 4th picks. For now, go MAVS! I hope they crush Miami in game 6 in their gym.

If the Mavs don't get it done Sunday and allow a Game 7, they will regret it. In the words of Larry the Cable Guy......"Git er done!!"

Clevelanders? You mean...."Mavaliers" right?

He's been a bystander in the finals, as if he wants someone else to take the 'heat' so to speak when they lose. Wow, a real superstar. You should be glad that quitter left Cleveland, he is Miami's problem now.

My prediction is Miami will have game 6 all but handed to them and be able to do just about anything and everything they want. The game is already decided before they even take the court (much like LA vs Boston last year). Miami in a blowout.

Game 7 however, will be called down the middle and completely different game. A tough, close game and will come down to who wants it more.

I wish the best the Mavs, but think the Heat will take it.

OT slightly, but I lost a ton of respect for Wade when he and LeBron did that "Make fun of Dirk" thing on ESPN. I never thought I would see Wade go that low. James yes, but Wade no.

I'm hoping that whole making fun of Dirk was all in fun, if not then I'm with you. Expect it from James but not Wade. Pretty low. They deserve to watch Dallas celebrate winning the title in Miami either in game 6 or 7.

People overreact to anything.

Congratulations to Dallas Mavericks--winners of the NBA Finals!

I was forced to watch the last half.......boy am I glad they won it!

 

[maniactickler]

Way to go Dallas! won me a few sheckles!

 

[smokinj]

Those egotistical bastards deserved to lose on their home court last night. Congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks, a classy team, unlike their opponents.

 

[kis123]

You would've thought the finals were being played at the "Q" last night. Every bar and place with a tv set was packed. I couldn't watch the news this morning for all the "Cavs for Mavs" and "Mavaliers" stuff! Even Dan Gilbert got in on the act and said there were "no shortcuts".....hmmm.... wonder who he threw that lob at??

It was fun watching them implode the last quarter; looked like a version of Keystone Cops! Mavericks just stayed in the game and didn't relent at the last minute. They didn't lose their cool and Dirk and Jason Kidd just fired away unencumbered.

Only watched the second half, but that was enough for me...... Better luck next year Miami!

I hope I never get to the point where I have to hang my hopes on someone elses failure because my team is too incompetent to compete.

The Cowboys aren't at the point? and haven't been for awhile now?.. hmm looks different to me

Hey now, the Cowboys just need some guidance, I wish Jerry Jones would just hire a GM but his ego won't allow it.

I'm not going into any lengthy discourse with you. You love Lebron? Good for you. He put himself in the position he's in and he has to take the lumps. He spit in the face of the city and crammed Wade and Bosh down our throats with the pomp and circumstance. I always said he had every right to leave, but the way he left was shady at best and downright shitty at worst-a clear example of immaturity and unprofessionalism (honestly, the dude needs to grow up). He made his "decision", now he gets to live with the outcomes, plain and simple.

Suck it up baby bron bron! Our "lives" are not "miserable" like you said in your interview yesterday. No one here is hanging their head lower than you at this moment!

Maybe they'll go the distance next year, maybe they won't. Either way, I don't think they'll be doing all the bragging and showing off they did last postseason. Maybe they should spend that time becoming a real team. If they ever stopped the show boating, hit the floor on one accord, and get down to business, they could very well be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

But I won't be holding my breath..........
