NBA Finals

I also hate that people bring up the argument that he is going to make less if he moved to Florida. No he wouldn't. No personal income tax there. He makes bundles more moving to Florida than any other place besides perhaps NYC with the marketing opportunities.

True enough, though he'll still pay State income taxes for the percentage of his income attributed to games played in States that do have an income tax. each away game is legally time worked in that State.

Comeback kids!!

What a game, what a team.

The Mavs played some incredible defence to get back into it.

Pretty amazing that Barea took the final shot.

Looks like Lebron/Wade's early celebrations in the 4th were hubristic

I'll have to rewatch it, but wow that Mavs won that game. Besides last seven minutes, they seemed terrible with the lone exception of Marion (who is playing way above expectation so far).

I think Rick Carlisle should get flack though for giving Brian Cardinal any amount of playing time ever.

edit: Is Mike Bibby hurt for the next game because of Brian Cardinal? Brian Cardinal still hurting his own team even when hurting opposing team's players.

Great game, and love when the Finals is 1-1.

The Heat on the other hand have an awful habit of taking a poop when they feel confident they can win a game. Whether it is up big late, or up big early, they just take their foot off the gas. Too bad I don't have money online, because I would take the Heat in 6 if anyone wanted it.

Either way, it's going to be a great finals this year.

I think it was so fitting that not only did Dirk hit the game winner, but he took it to hole (and lefty) after all the slack about Dirk being too soft, and that he can only take jumpers and cant take it to the hoop

[Wes]

I'll bet against you on the following stipulation. Loser has to buy winner's drinks for a night.
