I think Glasgow Celtic or maybe Rangers use him as a role model for how tough to be instead of crying over every little strain.

No doubt he might never win a championship but AI is one tough mutha.

its funny so close yet so far. dont hear shit all about the nba playoffs here in canada.

all we care about here is the nhl playoffs go edmonton. :)

i however think the pistons can come back. game 6 is always the crunch game if detroit wins it they will win the series. :excl:

shatterd ;(

they hit the front in the 4th must have been a mighty effort considering they were down by 20 at one point

i'll say it again though dirk is a fucking gun, probably should have goten the MVP over nash IMO

wades a gun sure but the league is full of decent shooting gaurds.

Shaqs one of a kind though, how many teams have a 7"3 monster like that in the paint? rings follow him like a plague :)

ahh i thought 2 games in dallas 2 in miami then the next 2 in dallas and the final game if needed in miami hence the home court advantage and hopefully you wrap it up at home

but its 2 game 3 game 2 game

makes more sence, my bad

D-Wade= Unbelievable. Excitement machine. Even I hate the MJ comparisons but who else are you going to compare him too after this series? MVP!!!!

Great to see Walker start throwing it on the floor instead of heaving it from long range, I was on the verge of calling Pat Riley myself in Game 2. Was obvious he needed to take it inside.

Shaq has been really good too- he knows it's Wade's team but he still commands 2 defenders every time he touches it and 20/10 is nothing to scoff at. Don't see how anyone could hate Shaq actually? Funny guy and a fair player. Anyway....

How big were Payton's shots!

Posey and Haslam defence of Dirk has been awesome as well.

Great series

Ps- Dallas are boring ;)

heres some amusing emails i received this morning

QUOTE
Heat by 3, as Shaq is given bonus points if his Free Throws catch any piece of iron.

Dirk will be ejected for giving Wade the Shocker followed by the Nazi salute and then postgame will anounce the creation of the Fourth Reich. Keith Van Horn will be Vice Chancellor.

Antoine Walker will win MVP and then shock the crowd by revealing himself to be Lisa Lesilie in drag.

Wade will shock no-one by announcing he enjoyed the shocker.


QUOTE
Wade will shoot more free throws then the whole Dallas team. Dirk, Terry, Harris and Dampier will all get ejected for flagrant fouls for light fouls on Wade.

Heat will win the series 4-2 and Stern and Riley will give each other blow jobs through out the off season as they have accomplished there goal of not letting Cuban win a title.

think it was after, but media said he was using that as an excuse to not play for toronto,

after they paid out his contract and waived him he signed with miami...

would have screwed toronto pretty hardcore, seeing he was a big part of the deal to off load vince carter

Zo wouldnt of helped toronto anyway, hes 34, probably wont bring much in the way of offence, just savvy Dfence.. limited court time..

hes best off the bench due to his health problems

toronto need alot more then Zo to help them out, like a fucking clue
