Dallas Mavericks or Miami Heat? Who'll win the finals?

Answer 1

Dallas in 6 games at most. Miami looks old, especially Shaq. His numbers in the first 2 games are pathetic and he can't hit a free throw to save his life. Wade is great , but not enough to overcome Dirk, Jason Terry, or Dwight Howard. Dallas also looks hungrier and better coached. Pat Riley is old, has orange hair, and doesn't have Magic or Kareem to ride to the championship anymore.

Answer 2

Here's the thing. If you look at the stat sheet for this season, I'm supposed to pick Dallas mavericks because 5 players average in double figures for this team with Dirk leading the way with 28 a game. On the other hand, if you look at the Heat's line-up, with the exception of Wade and Haslem, this team is a championship team when they were in their prime. Most of this players were franchise players from their old teams so you cannot count their heart out even if they have aged a bit. But like what I said, Miami without Wade and Haslem is already capable of winning a championship, so with them in the mix pretty much sums up my answer. Its the MIAMI HEAT who will emerge as the NBA CHAMPs this year because of this 2 guys. Nobody can guard D.Wade and U. Haslem can make life miserable for Dirk. These 2 things plus Miami's Veterans equals another ring for Shaq and the first ones for GP, Walker, ZO, D Wade and Company.

HEAT in 7 and Dwayne Wade is MVP

Answer 3

One stat moves that only 2 teams have come back from a 2-0 Deficit in the NBA finals...which gives Mavs a 92% chance of winning. Also, Josh Howard still hasn't had a good game yet, and the Mavs depth is proving to be valuable, cause you have Stackhouse helping out along with Devin Harris. Pat Riley needs to find a way to either make Shaq score while he is facing double team coverage, OR make sure that the role players are scoring when Shaq passes out. But due to the lack of discipline from the Heat, I see Mavs winnin 5 or 6

Answer 4

Mavs in 5...

Why is everyone saying that "Shaq looks old" or that he's not playing so well. How about the fact that the Mavericks are mastering the Double-Team and forcing the rest of the Heat to beat them. That is essentially like asking a race horse to run without the use of one of its legs. The Heat haven't got the depth, their role players aren't stepping up, and the Mavericks are jumping on rebounds and loose balls. Wade is a great great GREAT player, but no team can win on just one player's performance (just ask LeBron).

Answer 5

I'm going for the Mavericks. Not just because I'm from Texas, but because they play a style of basketball that the Heat can't compare to. They actually PASS the ball. They actually play as a TEAM, and well, I can't say the same thing for the Heat.

Besides, the Mavs are playing with a lot of heart, and that's whats gonna help them win at the end.

☺!!!GO MAVS!!!☻

Answer 6

This NBA format sucks Miami get's 3 games at home now, I still think Dallas is more hungrier than Miami. The Heat in 6 games!

Answer 7

dallas has a great chance. especially that their leading by 2 games. but i still believe that miami can come back and win the series because they have shaq and dwade. i dont think the problem is with shaq because hes doing the right thing by passing the ball out when hes double and triple teamed. miami can put pressure on dallas if they make their shots after shaq gives the ball to them

Answer 8

After the first two games, it seems almost impossible for the Heat to come back. Even if they take the next two games, Dallas still has home court in two of the last three. It may go seven, but I think it will be over by the fifth game. Sad for Shaq, but he already has enough trophies.

Answer 9

Dallas Mavericks.

Shaq just isn't the player he used to be, and D-Wade still needs Shaq's help to be his best.

Dirk Nowitzki and his Dallas teammates will beat the Heat in 5.

Answer 10

Miami Baby!
