OMG Dallas Mavericks....

[IrishLax]

That was an INSANE comeback. Did anyone else watch that?

 

[KPENN]

Yep. Awesome. Dirk is playing some big time b-ball

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

When did the Mavericks sign Sig Hanson???

I take partial credit for this. I can't watch the Heat win. It hurts my soul. So when the Mavs went down a dozen I switched the channel.

Awesome.

Also, I tend to be the guy where bad stuff happens when I watch, but if I turn the channel things get better. For what its worth.

Good thing I left the bar when Wade hit the 3 to go up 15 and didn't miss anything exciting.

I play soccer (stop laughing - great cardio, and 36 and it keeps me in shape!) on Thursday nights, so I told my wife to Tivo the game just in case there was a great game. Well, I get in my car after the game and Miami crowd is pumped, Marion blows a gimme lay-up, and Miami is up 15 w/ 7 minutes left. I'm like FU**!!!! I'm sorry, but like you Rhode, I simply can't stand the Heat. And it has nothing to do with LeBron going there, but it has EVERYTHING to do with the way he went there, and even more, that damn celebration they had the next day.

Anyway, I turned that sh!t off in disgust. But when I got home and my neighbor told my that Dallas was up by 3! I got in and turned it on, and right on cue...Chalmers hits a WIDE-OPEN three. Good job by me! But Dirk stepped up and nailed that driving lay-up, and all was good.

Hey, at the very least, we have a series!

I assume, then, that you'll TIVO every game this season and avoid radio and newspaper contact to ensure an undefeated season and a National Championship.

Your sacrifice is appreciated.

^This!

I'm rooting for Dallas and happy they won this one....tough being down 2-0. Just made The Finals a good one and not a steamroll.

Luckily for me (and for you guys), my jinx only seems to exist in cases of gambling, fantasy baseball and when I'm more rooting against someone than for someone. ND games are therefore safe.

I dont want to see the heat win either, but I wont candy coat it, I cant stand LBJ. I want him to lose, haha! Because of how Game 1 went, I wasnt going to watch anymore finals games because I figured the heat were just going to run thru them. So I didnt watch any part of the game 2 till about 8:30. I then turned on the game to see DAL down 13 pts. I'm thinking, sheet, I cant stand LBJ. Then of course the comeback, once they tied it up they gave up that wide open 3 to Chalmers and I thought they were gonna blow it. but I was glad to see DAL win, glad to see Dirk Diggler win it with a left-handed layup. Also, it was great to see Bosh get blown by for that layup like he was standing still. Dont mess with the HOFF!!! Dirk is the man

NOTE: on espn this morning, they were showing parts of the post-game press conference, and the media were on both LBJ and Dwade for the celebrating they were doing after going up 15. Both vehemently denied celebrating, but the reporters werent letting it go. at one point, a reporter says to LeBron, "with all due respect, at the risk of contradicting you, there is a celebration on video that has been played over and over." Both wade and LBJ kept denying it, and then they had Dirk and Jason Terry saying that the celebration provided a spark.

I love it when Lebron says something stupid (which happens on twitter often) and then ppl jump on him for it.

In that case, fire up the HD, 3-D 74" Plasma, and have at it. Don't forget the Guinness – cooled but not cold: like wine, the lighter the color the more it benefits from chilling, and vice-versa. Never, EVER drink a Guinness in a place that disrespects it by serving it in a frosted glass!

Just don't place any bets. Or fantasize.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Never would I gamble on ND.
