You have 3 straight games at home. Use them wisely. Naturally, Dallas would like to win 4 straight (including 3 at home) and closing this series out. You really don't want to go back to Miami for Games 6 and 7. This is a true test on how relentless your Dallas club is. Miami is wounded from losing Game 2. People can talk about how aggressive Lebron will play and Bosh won't be on Dirk... all the yadda yadda yadda's in the world. But point being... Miami has a lot to prove tonight. They are like the guy who is down and out in a fight scrambling to get back to their feet. Dallas to me has full control of this series. Does Dallas want to truly knock Miami out... like kick a guy when he's down and absolutely show NO MERCY! This is the swing game of the series. What's the percentage of Game 3 winners who go on to win the series??? Isn't it like 78% or higher? Wow! That's an amazing statistic.

Again... Miami is down and out. The only way they can come back in this series... is if Dallas allows it. Does Dallas want to finish them off? Wow... what at amazing Game 3 coming up.

Dallas is a hot hell hole there. Them miami guys are used to that type of weather.

Some people feeds off thunderstorms as their slow day but if the sky is nice and out, it will be a good showdown. Everybody all hyped, the women looking lovely, the night is still young and lets get ready to rumble.

[Cannon]

Miami wins #3, Dallas wins #4 and #5, Miami wins #6 and Dallas wins #7.

[lunchbawks]

Kidd needs a stellar game. 5 points/ 6 assists isn't going to cut it.

[thunderingherd23]

this is a must win game!!!!!at home let's go!!!!!

Totally wrong. Miami is very humid; Dallas is very dry. Completely different. Not that it matters for handicapping purposes.

[TheMoneyShot]

And... we know we're headed back to Miami.

[bleek88]

Actually it's 100% of the time that, when the first two games are split, the winner of game 3 of that Finals goes on to win the series.

So, who takes the series now?

[geist]

Miami wins #3, Dallas wins #4 and #5, Miami wins #6 and Dallas wins #7.

The last road team to win a game 7 in a Finals series was Dr. J's team 25+ years ago. You really think the streak will end here?

[antifoil]

the refs tried to give the game to dallas tonight but they still couldn't win

[geist]

I second that. **** the refs.

[asjulian]

I second that. **** the refs.

i think that the refs wanted a close game and dallas happened to be losing... those fouls on nowitzki were freaking ridiculous

[TheMoneyShot]

I think if you're a Miami fan you should start planning the parade right now.

this.

sure they lost one at home but they've out played Dallas in 80% of this series on both ends of the floor.

Gotta correct this: Dude, Dallas is anything but "very dry." I lived there for four years. It's humid and hot as hell all summer, although not as bad as Houston. Not as bad as Florida either but that place is not a dry heat! Just sayin.

Now what the hell is Dallas gonna do for the next two games at home? IMO they are must wins. Can't go back to Miami down 2-3 and have to win both games away.

[spurginobili]

They definitely need these next two to have any chance, although I'm not counting them out as they have met every challenge they've been faced with in these playoffs.

[Ca$hfloW]

Miami game 4 for me

[deeshen13]

Mavs will bounce back.. haven't played near their potential (LA, OKC series). And yes I know the heat have something to do that. But, Barea, Kidd, Terry, Peja are all missing shots they usually make at a high rate.

[mastertiu]

mavs will win the last 2 at home! mavs in 7 for a great finals. and then tune in next year to see if the heat can win a championship! this thing is rigged!
