All purpose NBA Championship thread

ASSUMING this 6-point lead with 3+ left holds up...

Game 3, up 13 with 6 mins left, and can't seal the deal. Then lose four in a row.

Definitely below the Yankees against the Red Sox two years ago.
Definitely below the Blazers against the Lakers in the West Conf Finals in 2000

Definitely ahead of the Magic against the Pistons a few years back
Definitely ahead of Mickelson's from the weekend.

It's got to be one of the top 5 choke jobs in sports history.

Dallas looks nervous as shit with every shot tonight. So tight. Where has Josh Howard gone?

hell, it isn't even the biggest choke job this week...

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

Why does everything have to be an absolute or a list? Why does everything have to be an immediate knee-jerk reaction?

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

And given the fact that it's a 3-point game with a minute left and Dallas has the ball...maybe it's A_F choking again.

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

Oilers-Bills, good call. That's top 5.

The mavs are down 3 with less than a minute to play. This would be a shocking loss in my book.

The Heat are playing with Haslem at center for the last few minutes ... and Miami is getting ALL KINDS OF OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.

I wonder if anyone will get on Avery Johnson for this, or just ride Wade's jock.

The Mavericks are choking dogs.

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

Wow.... up 3 with 48 seconds left, Heat ran a "celebrate with dignity commercial"

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

64 Phillies
51 Dodgers
Jean Vandevelde
In addition to the 86 Angels, the 2004 Yankees, greg Norman, Bills-Oilers
The Hurricanes, had Edmonton won last night.

And Phil

One more bullshit call to keep the Heat ahead.

Christ, Wade gets more protection than MJ used to get. It's obscene.

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

They should take shaq out...

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

Not a choke at all.

Except Game 3.

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

Dear Dirk,

Next time don't close enough to let Wade punch you while driving to the basket. That's a defensive foul.

 

Re: Where will this Dallas Mavericks choke job rank?

Passing to Dampier, never a good idea.

And I, who isn't pulling for either team, thought that foul on Dirk was bullshit.
