Wade was the leading rebounder in the series thru 3 games. Then fluky shite like the heat winning and guards getting gazillion rebounds as a result of inexplicable poor dallas shooting stopped.

Dallas played differently in the last three games than they had played for the last near-decade. Why would this make me feel stupid? Why do the last three games change the last seven years?
This thread is about the 2011 NBA Finals. Everything you said, at least on pg 1, was about this particular series. Don't go crawfishing now. Man up.

They were a top 10 defense. Hardly average.

He had 1 weak rebounding series. He rebounded well in the finals and has rebounded well in the playoffs in his career.

Not shocking that Dirk would outrebound anyone on the Heat.

Who was their goon? Are you talking about Cardinal? He played 4 minutes a game.
quote:

In a few games they did.

Nice try at being a smart arse, but you need to do a little more research.
Right. Maybe you should have watched Dallas before the last 3 games of the finals. Your whole thread was fail when it was made.

I know more about the NBA then you will ever think of. You are just a punk kid with ZERO knowledge trying to impress people on a mesage board. THERE IS a REASON I am here. YOU, NOT SO MUCH.

quote:Not a bad point. The best points-allowed was ~91 by Boston; the league mean was just over 100; Dallas allowed ~96.5 a game. Closer to average than to the top, yes, but my labeling it "average" can be a tad harsh.

quote:For his career, he was averaging ~10 boards a game for the playoffs; this year until the final three games, he was right at ~7. Then he played some pretty hard-nosed ball, and look what happened.

(I'm confused as to what about this makes me sound stupid, though--it seems to confirm what I'd been saying. I'd criticized Dirk for not rebounding enough; he was lax on the boards for the first three games, two of which the Heat won; he then crashed for the final three games, all of which Dallas won.)
quote:Dirk turned on a bit of a switch, it appears. I'd always made fun of him for wearing the mouthpiece ("Good thing he wears that mouthpiece for all those elbows to the face he takes while he's shooting those fades"/sarcasm), but in the final three games, he kicked arse and dared somebody to try to kick his arse. I admire everything about his play for the last three games of the series.
quote:

apparently not surprising, according to the above
I also think that his offensive performance last night will always go underappreciated. He didn't shoot particularly well, but his teammates went like 34-52 from the field, which is unbelievable. I suspect that this is because Dirk was such a focus for the Miami defense that the others got open looks, open lanes (even Barea made the occasional layup
), etc...quote:I get the sarcasm, but I think you misunderstand my point. Dallas has never done that, and I think they probably should have done it before. Virtually all championship teams have one or two of them. It's about time Dallas threw one in there; good for them.

Then they won a see-saw battle in game 4 and went into beast mode for the final two games.
No crawfishing necessary. I call it how I see it, when I see it. The Mavs played like girls for the first half of the series; that hasn't changed now that they kicked all that arse in the final three games.

Who was their goon? Are you talking about Cardinal? He played 4 minutes a game.
Minutes for Cardinal:
Game 1: 0:00
Game 2: 1:00
Game 3: 0:07
Game 4: 7:24
Game 5: 9:37
Game 6: 12:12
The increased minutes for Cardinal showed that the Mavericks were willing to play rough and dirty. Great coaching strategy by Rick on that one.

So for those that still think the Mavs aren't soft...
They're not soft, then, right?

And THIS matters HOW???. Sometimes its NOT how you start , its how you finish. Example:THE MAVS IN THESE FINALS!!!. HEY xiv, YOU can throw ALL your stats out. The MAVS were the better team start to finish.

He averaged more rebounds in the 1st 3 games of the series than in the last 3 games of the series. Again, he had a poor rebounding series against OKC and 1 poor rebounding game against Portland. You take those games out and he averaged 10 rebounds a game.

No, he took Peja's minutes because Peja was playing like crap in the finals. He also took some of Haywood's minute after Haywood got hurt. Cardinal played more minutes in game 6 becaue Dirk and Chandler got into early foul trouble.

No your thread failed. The Mavs have not been a soft team all year. Maybe before this year, but Chandler and Butler really changed that. The bs you have spouted makes you come off as someone that payed little attention to the Mavs this season before the finals. The only difference between Mavs in game 1-3 and 4-6 is that they hit more of their open shots and Peja didn't play at all. I guess you can say they also threw in more zone, but the Mavs have been playing some zone for a while now.

quote:Chandler got outrebounded by Wade, and he got posterized by Wade twice. I don't get the idea that Chandler is somehow tough. He is one of the softest starting centers I've ever seen.

quote:Not only is this untrue, but it contradicts what you've said in this very post. Dirk crashed the boards in the 2nd half of the series, and it made a huge difference. He became a multidimensional player overnight, and it KILLED the Heat.
The only difference between Mavs in game 1-3 and 4-6 is that they hit more of their open shots and Peja didn't play at all.
quote:I suspect that this has gone understated by us all. We're slamming Lebron for not driving to the hoop enough, but Wade didn't do it enough, either.

Maybe Dallas' defense was better in this series than we thought.

You come across like some dumb arse calling about his TV not working, "Well... It was broken when I called you but it's working now."
