What do you think about the disagreement between Wade & Payton during the 06 playoffs recently?

I think Gary Payton should shut the heck up. It's Wade's team.  Payton's not the leader like he was in Seattle, even though he thinks he is.

Yes, it was a factor. When in game 4, Wade shoots all those free throws, yet gets called for just one foul, it's a little out of balance. Credit Wade and Shaq for pounding the ball inside. Maybe the Mavs should have done the same.

Saying Dirk can do the same thing as wade is ridiculous. Dirk and Wade are equal offensively, however Dirk is terrible, a liability even on defense. People do not pay attention to defense, no one seems to care. Players have made their careers on defense and nothing else. Ben Wallace, Bruce Bowen. Those two barely can do anything else but defend and they start every game. Wade is so good defensively even if he couldn't score one point, he'd still be on the floor for 30 minutes. Dirk would be non-existent if he couldn't score, a third string center maybe. Wade wins this competition hands down.

Franchement, en dehors de Dwyane Wade sur les 4 derniers matches, Udonis Haslem et Zo Mourning sur le match 6, je pense que les Mavs ont plus mérités le titre que Miami.\nMaintenant, ils sont jeunes pour la plupart. Ils auront surement le temps de profiter d'une autre finale NBA vu leur façon de jouer.\nJe suis simplement content pour Mourning et Payton qui ont vraiment bavé avant d'obtenir leur premier titre de champion. Il a fallu du temps.\nBravo très spécial à Wade. Celui-là, il a du MJ dans le sang.

The nba is rigged and D-Wade is a poster boy.  D. Stern won't allow a sweep, bad for ratings after such great playoffs so far.  The same reason Lebron and Kobe took Detroit and Phoenix to 7 games.  Without last nights series saving performance by Wade this series would have been a sweep, now it will be 6 or 7 games.  I predict a Shaq dominated game 4 to even the series.

I'm with you---! Dirk hasn't had to guard ANYONE like Shaq--and should he guard him? Shaq will overpower him; simple as that! Not only that--but Dallas shouldn't have won against San Antonio(in a series that should've been the Conference Finals, and not Semi's), but DIRK got foul calls (mostly phantom) down the stretch of Game 7, that tied and won the game. The point is--Dirk isn't' unstoppable, and he's not GOD. He's DIRK for cryin' out loud! Shaq and Wade can be doubled--but Posey, Williams, and Haslam will be open, so you're going to guard WHO..??!! I think Heat will win in 6!

Yes and no.  Let me expalin.  Everything was going fine for the Mavericks.  They won their two games at home.  They were in control of game 3 up until 5 1/2 minutes but they got relaxed, Wade took over and lost that game.  Then had a terrible game five, which you can be allowed one in a 7 game series, the Heat had theirs in game 2.  So that was the Mavs way of losing the momentum.  Now we really have a game and a series in game 5.  But that is when and I think the refs did have something to do with the win.  The touch fouls on Wade, the over and back, etc... we have all heard and seen before.  But now the Heat have all the momentum going into Game 6.  (And this is the first time I have seen this in the finals and I am surpised it has not happened more often, but with the 2-3-2 format, this should give the non-home-court advantaged team a huge advantage if you think about it.  Just win your 3 home games in a row at home and take that momentum and win the 6th.  I think pat Riley was thinking this the whole time.)  Now the Mavs could have done one of two things.  Used that anger and have a hell of a Game 6, or used that anger to totally fall apart.  I think they did have a pretty good game 6 but the Heat countered everything the Mavs gave them.  And Wade is still getting the touch calls because they have to be consistent with the other games.  But all in all it was a close game.  The Mavs almost won it.  But "they" lost this game, not the refs.  I really think they became the Mavs of old and tried to rely on the 3-point shot, and they were ice cold in that dept.  And after winning 3 in a row the Heat could smell blood and with all their veterans and Wade, they were not going to lose.

Yeah, the truth hurts... nobody wants to hear the truth... That's why everybody lies... he's completely right about the Heat and Wade story...

Dirk and the Mavs are taking it all the way. Because not only is Dirk a good player but he has contributions from Stackhouse, Harris, and don't forget about Terry.  Shaq thinks the only reason LA won their championships was because he was there and now he is trying to prove that he is the reason the Heat will win.  Wade is a good player but I think the Mavs in general are good also, sorry Wade the rings are coming to Dallas.

Personally i think Dirk should have got the MVP award and i don't think Wade deserves to be mentioned in there. (yes wade did great in the playoffs but some of the others even Nash did better in the regular season, which is what the MVP trophy is based on is the REGULAR season.)

I'm a diehard Rockets fan. Bonzi Wells is supposedly injured, so I've heard, but I think JVG doesn't want to play him for some reason. I heard a rumor that he dissed JVG (such as saying his playbook sucks). I don't know waz sup wit Bonzi, but he needs to get his butt on da court.

Well sure, one pair has a championship and the other doesn't.  But in the future that could change, since Yao is on his way up and Shaq on the way down.  Nobody can beat Wade at the moment, though.

I don't agree with many calls that was made against the Mavericks in games 5 and 6 . I personally am not impressed with Wade at all if they gave Dirk  the same number of free throws they gave Wade, the Mavs would be the champions today. Miami did play hard and they won and you can say what if  a million times but the fact remains the same. Dallas is a great team and though they were wronged they will come back next year better than before.Maybe  then the NBA will have better officials in the finals compared to the ones that was there this year. A game must be played equal  with all respect championship must be earned not given .

I personally think its a big shame to the game of basketball. A fine will do, but a suspension? on a Championship series? For that? \n\nIt just doesnt make sense.. What was Stack supposed to do? tickle shaq and ask him nicely?\n\nReferee Bevetta is who he is, a dick...

I also think it's a disgrace, especially in light of who they picked ahead of him -- Shane Battier, Gilbert Arenas, Greg Oden (high school kid)?  Give me a break.  While some people may not agree with certain aspects of his personality, nobody can deny that he plays with a whole lot of heart.  Practically, he presents matchup challenges to any team.  While his team didn't get it done last time, D. wade and Lebron James were on the team as well last time, and they both got invites.  AI, future hall of famer, doesn't deserve this snub.
