I picked Heat and I'm not changing now.
VF is right on the money, although if the Heat wins game 5 the Mavs are in trouble. Supposedly nobody has ever swept all three middle games before. Still winning at home is what is expected of everyone so its hard to say the Mavs are choking yet.

I said Heat beofre and I wont change it. They were just warming up the first 2 games! In my opinion, whoever wins hte next game. WINS IT ALL!

Mavs still have the edge with 2 of the three, including Game 7, at home.
Next game likely decides it.

ALL the pressure is on the Heat the next game. I think the Mavs take the next one.

Er...how do you figure?
If anything I would say all the pressure was the other way. Mavs lose it, that may well be the series, and amidst an historic collapse at that.

I like people that stand their ground, hoopsfan. But I hope you are wrong.
That's what makes it fun!

I called the Heat before the series. I said it wasn't over when the Heat were down 0-2, and I still think the Heat will win it.

Actualy, it has happened. Quite recently in fact.
I heard one or two announcers say that, but they were wrong. Detroit did it against the Lakers and the Lakers did it against the Sixers. Both teams closed out the championship in game 5. Has any team won the middle 3 and not won the series?

Getting a scary image of Cuban in a glittery bra top and sequined wrap-skirt, belly dancing around the court should the Mavs win....

I would not cout Dallas out yet essentially all they really have to do is win their home games. If the Heat win game 5 then the presuer is on THEM to take one in Dallas. Now I personally think they can do it but this thing is far from over, just as it was far from over when the Mavs won the first 2.

The Heat will win the series in seven games. I see the writing on the wall already. I also predict that from here on out the referee's will try to make this a seven game series. I believe that Miami will win because they are a bigger media market and Sterno has a trend of bigger media markets winning the title.

Uh...no he doesn't. Ever hear of the Spurs? 3 of the last 7? Damn ****ty job of conspiring if that's what's going on.
The conspiracy stuff is really just out of control. Any result is a conspiracy. If it matters, which it never does, Dallas is the 7th largest media market in the U.S. Miami is the 17th.

I know this is a little cliche, but nobody wins anything until they win in the other teams gym. Meh, I don't like the Mavericks, so go Heat!

This series mirrors the Kings-Spurs series.
The Spurs took the first 2, Kings squeaked the third and then a decisive victory in the fourth.
I don't think either team is strong enough to win on the opponent's home court in this series. It could happen, but it isn't likely. That's why I still say Mavs in 7.

The incident with Josh Howard will either totally break the Mavericks or send them out on their home court with a vengeance unlike any other.
Personally, I'm opting for the first scenario. Although his mistake didn't really cost them the game, it will be perceived as costing them a chance to win. With 1.9 seconds they could easily have scored a heart-break bucket and taken game 5...
I still want to know how Mark Cuban takes this. I don't see him as someone who readily excuses mistakes in others...
