Discussion for professional sporting events/teams and players.

This would be a great place to discuss the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs or whatever else.

Not who do you WANT to win, but who do you think is GOING to win. But you can discuss who you want to win in the thread.

I picked Mavs in 6. The Heat have more to lose as a team, and they seem mentally weaker than the Mavs have been (I don't remember any of the Mavs crying in the locker room during the season, nor do I remember any of the Mavs telling the media in the playoffs that they choked because the pressure of the moment got to them a'la Chris Bosh). If the Mavs take one of the first two, look for panic in the Heat.

It's hard to pick the Mavs after game one. The Heat's defense was just so fast and swarming, and the way they finished off the Mavs in the fourth quarter was very impressive.

I don't think Nowitski and Kidd will go down without a fight. They both know this is probably their last chance at a title.

I picked the Heat in 6, but if the Mavs win game two, then I'll say Mavs in 7

Mavs is 6 (which is what I voted for) is the leader! I hope so. I think that the Mavs team play, along with all their offensive tools are going to get them the trophy. Mavs so far have looked like a much better TEAM even if they aren't dunking the ball as frequently. Kind of Like BYU being the last team to get a dunk in the NCAA tournament (did they ever get a dunk?)

Mavs will be able to weather a storm, unlike Heat who are one loss away from pointing fingers and going into full meltdown mode. All the pressure is on the HEAT at the moment.
GO MAVS!

Like I said--Heat may be talented, but they (especially LeBron, Bosh, and supporting cast) are mentally weak and fold like cheap lawn furniture under pressure.

Mavs in 6 all the way.
