Dallas can't play D to save their lives.
Miami in 6.
Dallas handed it to Miami twice this season. But, who knows, Miami has so many players who have come close to winning championships but have fallen short in the past, so they'll probably play out of their minds. This should be fun.

Miami became a different team towards the end of the season, and those losses agaisnt Dallas do not carry that much weight. Miami and Wade have def stepped it up in the playoffs, but Dallas has played some tough opponents. We will see, but I think Miami in 6.

Redskins.com is telling me to root for Darrell Armstrong and the Mavs because he's a big Redskins fan. So i guess i will be rooting for Dallas in this one. Thank you Redskins.com for giving me some guidance as to who to root for in the NBA Finals. Althought i never thought the Redskins would be telling me to root for a team from Dallas.

Sure it is. When Karl Malone, Kobe and Shaq all played on the same team, I would've picked the Timberwolves to beat them if I had to.
I do think that Dirk has become a real leader on that team, he can single-handedly take over and win a game if needed, like he did against the Suns. They have great defenders, assist men, Howard is a monster on the boards, plenty of three-point shooters that will be open when Dirk is double-teamed, they're good in transition and most importantly they play as a team. Miami is like an overaged All-Star team. They have too much talent, more specifically too many egos. If you can limit Wade in any way, which the flu is currently doing for the Mavs, you can beat them. Dallas just has too many capable players while Miami has too many guys who all want the last shot. Before the season even started, I predicted that Miami wouldn't win it all because their roster has too many individual stars.
Remember Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders and the expensive roster we tried? Same deal...
