Apparently, the Mavs have 2 players that can go for 30 LOL

Really? I only see one 30 point game there.

LOTS of teams have other players who can go for 30 on a given night. We're talking about guys who are expected to score like that night in and night out. Terry isn't one of them.

Miami only has James and Wade. I'm not buying that Bosh is anything special.

OKC is simply a bunch of young guys, Durant and Westbrook are really the only standouts.


The Bulls are probably the closest as far as talent goes, but really Rose is the only guy that's a standout, while Boozer, Deng, and Noah are nothing above and beyond what Dallas has.

Dallas is just stacked.

This is wrong, debate all you want but Bosh is a guy who has averaged 20 and 9 in 8 years in the league, you don't do that by accident whether you like him or not. they also have guys like Mike Miller and Mike Bibby who have both been starters their entire career and have averaged 20 ppg in a season before. They have role players like James Jones who is a knock down shooter and one of the best in the NBA, Joel Anthony who rebounds and block shots and don't forget about Udonis Haslem who has been hurt all year.

OKC has way more than just Westbrook and Durant. James Harden, Kendrick Perkins, Serge Ibaka, Nick Collison, Cook, Maynor.

Dallas has Dirk and a bunch of role players, Kidd is old as dirt and is nothing more than a spot up shooter at this point, Terry is instant offense off the bench as is Barea but to say they are the most talented team is wrong. You will see this when they play a team who can actually rotate and play perimeter defense, something the Lakers couldn't do.

You're all basing this on a 4 game sweep against a Lakers team that hasn't been that out of sorts since like '04 or whenever Smush Parker was their PG. They had a lot of talent and a good regular season but they were a garbage team in that series and made the Mavs look more impressive than they were. But hey, if you guys want to buy into a team that has a history of not being able to get it done solely because of your hatred for the Heat, have at it. You'll find out soon enough. NBA title is coming to the East this year, whether it's the Heat or the Bulls is obviously yet to be determined, but whoever comes out of it will win the title.

Dirk? I don't see Wade and Lebron always going for 30 LOL

Exactly, people see them make 20 threes against the Lakers and expect them to light every team up like that, Dallas has looked very impressive this post season but they are not the hands down favorite and they certainly are NOT the most talented team left. Good thing for them because talent doesn't always win basketball games.

The 2010-2011 NBA Champions: The Miami Heat*

You know its true.

But you expect two Mavs to go for 30 every game, not logical.

Fixed.

Dirk didn't go for 30 in the game that you sent a link to jackass.

This coming from someone who buys into Lebron who also has a history of not getting it done.

No, I bought into Mo Williams, who couldn't get it done. I feel a little better saying DWade can. LeBron has always gotten it done.

This coming from a Laker fan who told Cavs fans to shut up after their team was bounced from the playoffs in past years...

What has Lebron Gotten done?

If you don't know then you haven't been paying attention for the last 10 years or so. Not my problem.

Your not nor were you ever a Cavs fan.

I think the Heat win this one in 6, unfortunately.

I gave you a link that has a player besides Dirk going for 30.

Also, perhaps your memory is short, but only Lebron went for 30 for the Heat against the Celtics. Looks like you should have said:

In other word he has gotten done as much as Dirk has, well Dirk does have 2 Finals wins at least.

Wow. You don't get it.

Keep going skyhook, you might as well get them all in before you have to change your argument to "multiple titles", further proving how stupid your argument is.

People fail to realize that basketball is a team sport, no one man wins or loses games by themselves. People are quick to put the blame on a star when the majority of the time his supporting cast doesn't play up to the level they need to. Rings are a stupid way of comparing players and what they have accomplished, no one wins a championship by themselves, no one ever has and no one ever will.

Don't tell that to Kobe fans. Shaq, Gasol, etc., etc., etc., were all just mythical people that the media made up.
