Pretty solid game so far and about to hit the 4th quarter.

D-wade overrated-are you drunk? His first step to the bucket is the best in the league except Kobe's. The guy has a killer outside jumper too.

I've always thought about that, Halfcan.

Why is the freethrow shooting so poor these days? Particularly...Shaq and Ben Wallace. Any player could get better if they wanted to, but yet they don't. Shaq is dominant when he wants to be, I think he's quite overrated actually, because of just that...when he WANTS to be. That, and he chooses not to improve on his game just because he's a big guy, I think. If he hit his free throws and tried more often, he'd be thought of more highly in my book. It's too late in his career to change now. At least he thinks so. Now I like Shaq, he seems to be a good guy, but he's overrated as a player.

Yeah, I don't know about the killer outside jumper. He's more of a slasher and a streaky shooter, he's improved on his jumper quite a bit though since his Marquette days. He's a good player, IMO. He's got a ways to go, and he knows that.

Ya, I agree with the others Wade has a suspect jumper outside 20 feet and he can't hit the 3 to save his life. He shot 17% from 3 point land this year and only canned 13 threes. If he could somehow become a good 3 point threat he would be unbelieveable.

Halfcan · 06-09-2006, 11:38 PM

Wade has a great jumpshot-he falls back making it hard to defend. He has been hitting about everything he is shooting in the playoffs.

I coached B-ball for 6 years. FT's are easy-noone is defending you-just stand and shoot.

Shaq has always been tall so never worked on his shooting ability-now he just doesn't even try. He stutter double pumps it, while pushing the ball, with both hands. No follow through, and does not look at what he is shooting at.

Game 2 coming up pretty soon.

Who wins this one?

Mavs. Both teams will be better, but I also think being at home will give Dallas the push.

Moooo

**Mr. Kotter** · 06-11-2006, 07:34 PM

Mavs 13, Heat 7....

Shaq and Wade better pick it up, if they are to have a prayer.

Basileus777 · 06-11-2006, 07:59 PM

The Heat need to win this game or they are done. They would have to win all three home games to stay in it, and I don't see that happening.

If they lose tonight, get out the broom....Miami will be lucky to take it to five.

If they win tonight, it's entirely different series. They get confidence. They could sweep the Mavs in Miami; and force a game seven.

Dallas is to fast for the Heat....

What a shot by Jerry Stackhouse.
