ANYTHING that happens only happens because Kobe allows it to.

Exactly! But don’t forget that whether we spread out Twats all over the world or not, or anything in between, it’s all a part of Kobe’s plan.

Yes, Twats are very important in today’s society. It seems that more and more twats are in the news each day. And as these twats come out, it seems as if a lot of folks are getting into hot water due to their use of twats. So, i think it is fair to say: Beware how you use Twats. They can be dangerous.

In fairness, every team has a couple of players who talk through their Twats. Heck, each team even has an official Twat for the fans. Is it any wonder that we are evolving into a species incapable of conceiving of anything too large to fit in our Twats?

I agree…..The Heat is full of Twats.

This post is bullish,is there ONE post that gives the MaVS 100% props after they win? MAVS have won games like this all season long(reg&playoffs) their not in the finals by accident or luck,they can play

I am not going to celebrate yet, but it doesn’t look good for the Heat. Yes I know they are at home, but the Mavs are in their heads now. Only team to beat them at home in the playoffs. Only team to notch consecutive wins against them in the playoffs. Now Wade has a bruised hip, and Lebron fades away in the 4th quarter. In fact, he has put so much pressure on himself now that I am not sure if he can relax for the last two games. Sure the Heat could have won the series by now and been in a parade by the end of the week (Which also goes for the Mavs). Yes they can pull a 2010 Lakers and win the final 2 games at home to win the series 4-3. But I just don’t see it. The Heat are not learning from their mistakes. They continue to blow late game leads by settling for jumpshots instead of driving the lane and earning the foul.

Err Rob runs a Mavs blog (Two Man Game). I’m about as positive as I can be he’s not rooting for the Heat, nor will he be apologizing for them.

I’m not sure you read the same article I did. Rob spent that entire thing explaining how the Mav’s great game was completely expected given things like variance and the fact that they had until game 5 been performing well below their averages.

Something about that three that Kidd made; it was like: Nerves of steel.

Another question:
- Will the inevitable negative response the above post receives be the result of its not being irrationally biased against either team?

The really awesome thing is, Dallas had their exceptional ‘outlier’ game with the series on the line. That proves they got some mega nuts.

Questions loom:
- Now that the Dallas Mavericks have had 15 games handed to them on a silver platter by four different astronomically superior basketball teams — teams which spanked Dallas a combined 4 times, displaying definitively just how how inferior the Mavericks team is — can they win one more, going on to be the first NBA champion to’ve won on pure luck alone?

- Will Jason Terry’s premature celebration outrage the Heat? (Has anyone read their Twats to see?)

- Now that LeBron James has shown that he is possibly the least talented player in the history of basketball in being limited to a triple double in game 5 (a further indication that his shot blocking is not what it was when he was a young man), will Chris Bosh — himself the third worst PF in basketball history — be enough for them to out-rebound the luckiest team in the universe again, and will that be enough for them to overcome the worst choking of all time?

- Can the NBA survive without Michael Jordan?

im not sure i get this article. james and wade never “shoot over their heads”? every team in the playoffs has had a game where they can’t miss, it happens during the regular season also, look at the spurs shooting lights out vs miami. why are you bringing it up now like the mavs are the only team in basketball to shoot a very high percentage from three for one night? miami double teams, mavs player wide open, this game they actually make those shots, where as they’ve been missing them. whats so “outlier” about finally making some open looks? if you look at the last two months for dallas, its an outlier when they DONT shoot a high percentage, credit the heat D, but that doesn’t mean anyone should be surprised when dallas gets it going, there’s a reason they are still playing

Rob is a hater, we know no team or person performs exactly the same every time. We celebrate the good and work on the bad.

Mahonney is not a downer, hes just another heat apologist who justifies there losses and never sees the reality that lebum choked once again and the heat just flat out got ran off the building in the lasf 4 mins of the game.

Mr Mahoney is a downer! That was another great game to watch, and he drops a steamer right on it. Who cares if they were “shooting over their heads”, Dallas is on the verge of beating the favored super team in a slugfest of a series and it inspires an article about happenstance? This guy seems to be enrolled in the Dan LeBatard school of contrarian rhetoric. Numbers, sample sizes, advanced metrics and space case articles, yawn.

Chris angel could not make these diasapearing acts in the 4th quarter over and over like lebum does hehhhe. Come on real and bandwaggon heat fans whats yall take on this, or whats the excuse this time.
