Mavs Make It Rain!

"Mavs Flyin' High"

Dirk Nowitzki scored 29 points, to help the Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat 112-103 on Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals. Five years after going up 2-0 on the Heat, the Mavs finally got that elusive third victory, and can finish off the Heat to win their first championship in Game 6 on the road Sunday night.
"We didn't want to go to Miami and give them basically two shots to close us out. So we kept plugging there in the fourth. So definitely a big win for us," Nowitzki said. "And now we have to go down there and basically approach Sunday's game as Game 7."

James, who called this game "now or never," showed up on paper with a triple double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. However, his boy Dwyane Wade battled through a sore left hip after a first-quarter collision to finish with 23 points. Now I know that the triple double is balling in February but this is June and the NBA Finals. Down the stretch "ya boy" was often standing in the corner.

"I could have made a couple of more plays for my team," James said. "But at the end of the day, all it's about is a win or a loss. Triple-double means absolutely nothing in a loss. So we will be better in Game 6 on Sunday."

I'm confused bruh! I mean you're taught in “Biddy Basketball” to leave it all on the floor. So to make the statement, "I could have made a couple more plays for my team" doesn't fly. I've got a rule that I deeply enforce with my children while playing sports. It's, if you're going to play you've got to give 100% all of the time win or lose. Don't have me show up to see you play and you're not giving everything you've got. Otherwise, I can stay at home and watch somebody on TV that really wants to play.

Well if I'd stayed home last night I would have been upset because even with the triple double LeBron, in my opinion, could have given more than he put in the collection plate. He was the guy that thumped the bottom of it and passed it to the next guy.

The Mavs showed up to play last night in full force. They pulled a Fat Joe and Lil Wayne and made it rain by hitting 13-3 pointers.  It seemed like they had a rope on it and if I see Jason Terry throw up anymore junk that goes in I'm going to be sick. This guy is just putting it in the air like some kid at the rec center and cashing in. Unbelievable junk do your hear me?

Hey, but you've got to give the Dallas boys credit. Their putting in work when it counts. Can the Heat keep the Mavs from coming to South Beach and celebrating on their floor? We'll see, but I know one thing, D. Wade has to be on fire because his boy has pulled an ostrich move on him and just stuck his head in the sand. 

Holla At Ya Boy!
