CENTURY MARK in this finals! Finally a game with a real legit NBA final score. Yes, this was by far the best game to watch of the series, and one of the best Finals games in a long while. This lived up to all the hype! And I loved it because America’s Non-Team lost. Everyone I follow on Twitter seems to be Dallas Mavericks fans, but they’re actually just anyone-who’s-playing-the Miami Heat fans.
-Two points for Lebron James in the 4th quarter? Again a no-show in the final stanza! a decisive swing game five in the NBA Finals, the biggest stage, and this is what you get? He has eleven total points in the 4th quarter of this series’ 5 games 11! SERIOUSLY. Best player in the league MY ASS! And as for the Lebron-MJ comparisons…see graphic above.
-All these ads for the “Green Lantern” movie, but WHO CARES about that comic book? No one ever read it, so why the clamoring to make it into a film? DON’T CARE! No one is going to see it, no matter how badly they try to ram this crap down our throats.
-Jason Kidd! What a story this has become. Even before hitting that big three down the stretch. He’s an ageless wonder, and one of the more likable guys in today’s league.
-But maybe the hero of heroes was Jason Terry. As awful as he was in games one and three. He hit the DAGGER tonight! It was worth “the Jet” move and the trash talk. He’s earned it.

35.8% of US consumers know who Dirk Nowitzki is, according to the Davie Brown Index (DBI). More than 81% know who LeBron is.

The way Dallas is passing strong-to-weak 2-3 times in possessions is awesome to watch.

One would say LeBron James plays more comfortable out there without Dwyane Wade.

This sucks: My cable was out the whole night. It finally came on 20 mins ago when Van Gundy said, “This is the best finals game ever.” FML
