Dallas World Champions

Dallas defeated Miami in game six to win the 2011 NBA Finals. Just like I predicted that they would win in six. The Mavs played with more heart and more hustle. It is nice to see such a team as the Heat to get humbled. Wade and LeBron had nothing good to say to Dirk the whole series. Dirk did not react back with words but rather did his talking on the court.

Dirk Nowitzki was named the 2011 NBA Finals MVP. He had so many clutch performances in the playoffs including tonight. Dirk had an amazing second half. Nowitzki was just 1-12 at halftime. Dirk finished the game with 26 points. Jason Terry and Shawn Marion had an outstanding series helping Dallas to win it all for the first time in franchise history.

NBA Finals: Game 3

The NBA Finals is all tied up at 1-1 going into game 3. Dirk and the rest of the Mavs battled back for a win in game two. For the team and the Dallas fans, they are hoping to win at least two out of three. If Dallas wins two at home they will have no problem stealing one more in Miami to win the NBA Finals.

Game three will be played in Dallas. The fans in Dallas have not been known for there loudness and intensity during games, not even close games. Yes, the fans were going crazy when they were beating the two time defending champs by 30 points. However, they were walking around watching other things during the series against the Thunder.

The Heat will lose tonight, but it will not be a part of home court advantage. Dallas will win a close one tonight to take a 2-1 advantage on this series.

Dirk Nowitzki Injury

Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki has come down with an injury. This adds on to the loss last night. Dirk's finger is not broken but he has torn a ligament in his middle finger. Dirk said "it was just a freak play" when he and Bosh both went after a loose ball. Dirk said he was alright but that would explain his poor shooting.

Dirk is set to play the rest of this series with an injured finger. He will need to find another way to score points to help out his team overcome the explosive offense of Miami. Dirk is a tough guy, but if it will help the team to sit him on the bench, I do not see why you wouldn't.

NBA Finals: Game 2

Game two of the NBA Finals will be played tonight in Miami. Dallas will have to find a way to shoot the ball better, and make open shots. As for the Heat, just keep doing what your doing and you will win this series.

Game two is such a crucial game in this series. If Miami wins game two to go up 2-0 there is no change of Dallas winning this series. I am going to stay with my pick that Dallas will win this series. Dallas will overcome the poor shooting and the injury of Dirk Nowitzki. Miami, shot excellent in game one and will need to do the same thing in game two. If Miami gets hot, if the big three are on there best game like they were in game one, Dallas will lose again.

The Dallas defense will step up in game two, and the offense will prove to be too much for Miami. Dallas will win game two 98-90, to tie this series up 1-1.

NBA Finals: Game 1

Game 1 of the NBA Finals will be played in Miami. This game will be the deciding game. If Dallas can take game 1 in Miami then my prediction will stand and Dallas will win in game six.

There are some key match ups for this series as I talked about in an earlier post. Tonight's key match up will be Dirk Nowitzki against either LeBron James or Chris Bosh(whoever they decide to guard Dirk). Bosh and LeBron may have to tag team on Dirk to keep him from scoring more than thirty. On the other side of the ball Dirk will guard Bosh and Marion will guard James.

If Dirk scores thirty there is no chance of Miami winning this game. Miami will have to keep him under twenty points. On the other hand if LeBron and Wade combine for sixty points you can count Dallas out of this one.

In game one Dallas will shut down the big three in Miami, beating them 108-99.

NBA Finals!

The NBA Finals are here! I am very excited to see one of the best offense from the West, play against the best offense in the East. The Mavs are not going to have the mis matches that they had against the Thunder. These two teams are going to match up very well against eachother. This game is going to be a battle of the defenses. Should the teams play their best defense players or play offensive threats to put points on the board.

Who will match up on eachother? If your asking me you start out with LeBron guarding Dirk. As the game goes they will need to rotate Bosh and LeBron on him. Dirk cannot guard Lebron, however he may be able to guard Bosh. Who will gaurd LeBron? I think that Dallas will start Marion on LeBron. Marion will have to be quick, and stay out of foul trouble. The last matchup I will cover is the point guard position. Jason Kidd and Mike Bibby will guard eachother in this series.

This series is going to be a great one to watch. It is a real hard one for me to pick. I am going to pick Dallas to win this series in six games. Stay tuned for more coverage of the NBA Finals.

NBA Finals

My predictions for the NBA Finals is the Mavs and the Miami Heat. Personally i would rather have the bulls be in the Finals, but i don't see them beating the Heat, because there aren't enough stars on the team. Now for the finals, I see the Heat winning it all because although the Mavs are a more experienced team, they don't have enough people to guard The Big Three. If you put Barea or Terry on Wade, they might be able to slow him down, but Wade is a smarter and better player. I don't think either one can stop him. Also if you put Peja Stojakovic or Shawn Marion on Lebron, I think Lebron will be able to score on either one of them. The one star i think the Mavs will be able to stop is Chris Bosh. With Dirk guarding him, I don't think Bosh will be able to show up like he normally does. I think although Dirk is one of the best scorers in the league, in the end, the Heat have better scorers and more stars, and will come up with the win.
