Haha.
That must've been after grazing at BK for two hours.
Sorry I couldn't resist, man.
All kidding aside, some athletes even after they've passed their prime have increased the productivity and longevity of their careers by staying in top shape.
Although it's not basketball, Jerry Rice always comes to mind.

These games start too late here in the East, figured at 88-73 it was history and could retire for the night, quite a shock when I checked the final score this morning. Really glad to see Dirk step up in the clutch but he's been doing it almost every game they win it seems, gonna be tough to sweep them in Dallas but it'd be great so see. _________________
Yeah, seems unlikely, though having Dallas take 2 of 3 would be good.
I'd be very surprised to see Miami win 3 in a row in Dallas to close it out for the championship. I think it very highly unlikely but possible. Even more unlikely a Dallas 3 in a row to take it and not have to go back to Miami for game 6. More than likely I am guessing Miami will win 2 of 3 in Dallas and close out in Miami for game#6. If Dallas responds in their favor and gets 2 of 3, it'll go in #7 with Miami winning it all.
I hope Dallas can somehow win the series, but Heat is just too tough, despite chocking in game #2, it'll go Heat in 6 or 7 now.
Nowitzki needs help and the Mavs can't seem to stop Wade.
A good effort by the Mav's, but it will ultimately be not enough,
3 stars versus 1 star, will not get it done for the Mav's.
i now think it will go in 5 games or in 6 for Miami, and if Mav's didn't win the last miracle game, in Miami's melt-down, it would have been a sweep and all Miami.
Mav's are done.
surprise surprise, Mav's claw their way back from a 9-point deficit in the 4th quarter to pull out a victory. Dirk plays tough down the stretch once again, and this time shooting through a flu, and playing courageous down the to the wire.
I still think the pressure is back on the Mav's, as they have their last home game on Thursday. If the Mav's come up short on Thursday, Miami will close it out on Sunday. If not, then we will probably see a final game #7 next Tuesday, with a thriller for a Miami victory. Low scoring, high defense, and lots of tough shots, playoff basketball, and the Mav's playing very closely with the Heat. Good luck to the Mav's, they will need it for Thursday.
I think game 5 is another must win for the Mavs... They don't want to head back to Miami with the need to win two straight there.
This series has been mostly close, but Miami goes on those runs, and one thing I have observed is how Miami has struggled to hold on to leads in the fourth, with turn overs, and bad shots. In this series it has been mostly D-wade, and some Bosh, and in this game Lebron was in his facilitator mode, but shot a dismal 3 of 11, and 2 of 4 on the line, for only 8 points. I would think he'll produce a lot more in game #5, and Miami usually adjusts and responds well after a loss-game in the playoffs, we'll just see if Mavericks can counter-punch their attack and play tough or stare at a closeout game in Miami for game #6.

Tyson Chandler for the Mav's, and a balance scoring attack from the Mav's kept them alive to tie the series. But still, Mav's still got out rebounded 41 to 44, and had less offensive rebounds 12-15. If Mav's stand a chance, they'll have to do better.
Turnovers and Steals were quite close for both teams.

James will definitely step it up in Game 5 and Dallas will need to really counter that push.
