I know there's a few avid NBA fans on here so I thought I'd make a thread for the finals.

Miami have made a good start. The game 1 stats look fairly even but amazingly, the Heat easily outscored the Mav's in bench points - something of which has been their Achilles' heel during the season. Got them over the line in the end.

Discuss game 2.

    Hooray!!

    LeBron didn't win!

    When are people going to learn...

    You can play two stars in one team - but they can't play the same role.

    I would trade out Dwade...

    That's all that matters really.

    LeFail not getting his ring.

    I wouldn't have gone after LeFail at all. Heat should have waited till the 2012 FA.

    Imagine D-Wade and Dwight paired together or even CP3 and Wade...

    Wade can't be traded ...he's untouchable like Kobe is to the Lakers.

    I feel sick to the stomach at the thought of Dwight leaving Orlando. How do you fill that hole? I'm sure Miami (and many others) would love him.

    BVI,

    I'm assuming you're an Orlando fan. Bill Plaschke, admittedly a Lakers man and a writer for the LA Times, proposed this LA-Magic deal about a week ago:

    Basically, it's Bynum and Odom for Howard and Redick. Salaries work. Highly, highly doubt it would happen - for it to go down, Orlando would have to be convinced they were going to lose D12 for nothing. But you could do a lot worse than Bynum and Odom in return. You're not going to get a better center in any other deal for him I'd imagine.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
