    'Jordanesque' doesn't mean having a great 4th quarter.

    That was one of the all-time great performances in a Game 5 in May on a Thursday!

    Stupid loser Rose missed in that title game with 10.8 seconds left and a 3-point lead. Not that I hold it against him or anything.

    Please, please, PLEASE let their be revenge for the Mavs from 2006's debacle.

    (I know it probably won't happen).

    Heck, LBJ might have won it this year if he would have stayed in Cleveland.

    For how much talent is currently in NBA, the league does not seem so great when looking at the teams that just got eliminated.

    It's also just too tough trying to get off that game winning shot when you are under 6-4.

    Isiah did not seem to have a problem; of course that was a different era.

    I'll say it again, Carlos Boozer is the biggest "big man" fraud in the NBA. His attempts at the rim are pathetic, so weak. He gets passes right at the rim and he cannot finish, instead of going up strong like a guy who should be paid $15M/yr, he goes up like a D league guy. His supposed "go to" jumper from 12-15? He's passing that up to look for Noah at 20 ft. Throw in a few bricks at the line as well. And as for D? He's a mean "orator" giving directions while his guy goes up for the follow or cuts backdoor or simply rolls to the rim. I'm calling Boozer out because if Rose and the Bulls just had a guy like say, Ibaka, they put up a much better fight and perhaps even move on. Boozer was supposed to be the missing ingredient, the second reliable scorer. Wrong.

    As for the Heat v. Mavs, I want the Mavs to reverse that '06 debacle, I want Dirk to hoist the trophy; I mostly want our Bay Area kid, Jason Kidd, to be lauded for his perseverence and for finally getting a championship.
