Chauncey Billips just scored, and Miami called time out...Det. on a 12-2 run to take its first lead....do i sense trouble for Miami?
Detroit will be tough to beat at home...i don't know how they lost some games to Cav, at home, anyways it is the eastern conf. finals now... :sweat:
Miami will come back. I got a feeling they will.
Cavs had same problem in game 7. They were somehow able to keep the Pistons from running away in periods 2 and 3. Miami should be able to do the same.
They just did. The Heat took game 1 with the final score of 91-86. This 2 teams are even in matchup, so this series is unpredictable, just like the Spurs-Mavs series.

Ahhh.....I was almost right in predicting score :beaten:

exactly...
i think a bit of both...
Det. missed 12 consecutive shots during the second half, and they definitely had the opportunities, and had offense rebounds, but failed to score. Miami played a good game and took the first. Pressure is on Det to win game #2, Miami just has to play tough again and hold Det.
I didn't expect a win from Miami, and it surprised me that Det's offense was flat...expect Det. to come out with vengeance in game #2... :beaten:

But yea....Det is really tough at home :sweat:
if Det is going to have offensive droughts during this series and if they make it pass this round, then it will put more pressure on their defense. I think they just had a bad shooting night...and will step up for the next game..but would be nice if Miami upsets Det and moves on.
Yup, Dallas chokes big time down the stretch, :dancing: Omedeto Suns :woot: We don't have an NHL thread, but I read this, and I thought I'd pass it along. The Mighty Ducks trail Edmonton 3-0 in their series. They asked Ducks player Teemu Selanne if the Ducks can come back and he replied, "The ketchup bottle is open, we just have to keep pushing" :crazy: Does anybody have any idea what that means?!!? [/list:u]

not sure what the ketchup thing means... :crazy:
but don't follow NHL...just NBA..
Suns Nash scores some amazing shots down the stretch...hopefully R. Bell is not too hurt from his calf injury...they will need his help.

In my opinion.....not a chance :beaten: . The Suns won in a close fight, just like the way the Spurs won their games against the Mavs......and look who won that (Spurs-Mavs) series. Just a few more adjustments for Avery Johnson and the Mavs will be back on track.

I used to watch NHL before, but when Paul Kariya moved to Colorado Avalanche 3 years ago and almost destroyed his career, I lost my interest on NHL.
About the ketchup thing, sometimes when you open the cover of a newly sealed bottle of ketchup, when you pour the ketchup, it won't drop immediately due to stickiness. So you will have hold the bottle upside-down and tap the base of the bottle to de-pressurize it and make the ketchup soluble and make it drop easily. That procedure is actually wrong, but most people do that :shakehead: . In relation to his statement, I think what he is trying to say is that the opportunity is there (mouth of the bottle is open), but they just can't find a way to win (reaching the mouth of the bottle) so they have to keep on trying/pushing to win by trying other tactics (not stick to the wrong ways and find the right way of pouring a sticky ketchup). Just my crazy analysis :crazy:
gaijin mark wrote:(And the Ducks beat Edmonton, I guess the ketchup is flowing now :hehe:)
So they finally changed their old ways. I wonder if they found out the right thing (holding the bottle with a slight downward tilt, and tapping the neck of the bottle upward) or they do the other wrong method (heating up the bottle :hehe: ) :bonk:

It's the Heat that need to keep winning to make this an exciting series. Believe me, it's the Heat that is considered an underdog in this series :mrgreen: .

But Miami has to feel confident going back home, they won the first game, and with a little luck, they could have won both. [/list:u]
I think Miami needs to take both at home...to apply any pressure on the Pistons...
but winning a road game helps, but they got to hold serve...
But, i still think Det will probably take the series...but i hope the Mavs/Phx beat them in the finals...
