Enjoy muna sa Finals, then 2011-2012 NBA lock-out is looming

NBA history is full of teams with supertars that didn't make it to the championship without a coach to make it happen. Most recent are the LA Lakers. They had shaq and Kobe before but it did not happen. Phil Jackson came, even lost shaq but they got the championships.

i am just curious, sino ba itong mai mislang?

Heat wins Game 1!

The heat played like a team, the bench delivered, the stars pulled it through. Change in tempo in their game. That is good coaching, too.

The team got what it paid for James and Wade.

The offense flow of the Miami still looks pretty terrible...

Thank the awesome Co-MVPs LeBron and Wade for their spectacular hero shots

true, because dallas played a good defense in the first half forcing miami to miss shots. but at the end its the miami defense and the talented trio that won the game for miami. the low scoring can be contributed to the two teams playing a good defense. Kidd played like he was 25 years old for about 10 minutes, and that's it. Marion played well but only in the first half, had he been consistent, dallas would have been contesting the game till the last seconds.

but i thought eric did an excellent job. i was really impressed when he put howard in the game and contributed 4-5 important minutes. Did you notice eric's calls for timeouts? I thought his time out calls were called atthe right time. I thought his time out in second half when nowitki and dallas were heating up was perfectly timed. After the time out Nowitsky and Dallas cooled down offensively.

This guy is for real! I am not saying this because i am filipino. I bet on professional sports and analyze game the way sports gamblers do. But I am basketball fan first and enjoy watching a well played game where talents and good coaching are on display.

I thought Spoelstra made a coaching error in the closing seconds of the second game. the heat have one time out left. I was disapppointed that erik did not use the last timeout so the heat can move the ball at the half court and draw a plan for one last shot. I can't totally blame him because his assistants should have reminded him of the remaining time out.

But give credit to Dallas on that second game as they fought hard instead of giving up though behind by more than 10 points in the last 3-5 minutes of the last quarter.

^ Mali Mali
May 1 foul to give ang Miami

Naubusan na ng timeout dahil nagpanic si Spo habang unti unti nawala yun double digit na lamang :/

are you sure?

this series is getting to be best in the last years, probably much better than the celtics lakers championship. in fact TV ratings have gone up to the roof!

[Gibradi]

I hope Miami will win the series.

Like I said pangit ang offense ng Miami

Masyado lang umaasa sa Hero Ball




This guy better bail him out yet again

[matuto]

I think medyo minalas si Lebron yesterday kaya natalo ang Heat. This series has been so close and I agree better than last year's Lakers-Celtics match. And so far Eric Spoelstra has been doing a great job. I want Dirk to have a title pero I want Eric Spoelstra also to win kaya neutral nalang ako.
