NBA Finals Game 6 Awaits
What a storied series this has become! And unfortunately, the lead story tonight is only partially what happens on the floor. I must say that I’m disappointed in the organization as it misbehaves in front of all to see. Both Cuban and Johnson should know better.
But here we are and the Mavs still have homecourt advantage. What do I predict? A Mavs win, of course. If this team is not sufficiently enraged by Stackhouse’s suspension and all the bad calls from Game 5 then they are a team that cannot be motivated by anything.
Some quick hits:
Dwyane Wade is not Michael Jordan. He may have superior Finals stats, but just looking at the highlights, I’m reminded at how special Jordan was.
Dirk Nowitzki is the best Maverick player, but he must take it to the rack and he must hit his shots. He’s been unable to pull it together in this series. He has two games to restore the lustre on his playoff career.
Jason Terry will probably be the key player.
Stackhouse should go off after the bitterness of the suspension. I’d like to see him also take it to the rack with avengance. And when he gets there, let’s get the dunk to fall down.
Devin Harris better make the layups.
Please, very little Marquis Daniels and even less of Keith Van Horne.
And if the Mavs do lose, let’s all be good sports. And if the Mavs win, let’s all be good sports too.
