NHL Playoffs

[Lord]

Miami just beat Dallas.

I thought for the most part, Dallas played well, but Terry was very selfish during much of the game, especially the crucial fourth quarter. He kept shooting threes, missing, and then taking more in the hope of making one and becoming the hero. The ball should have either gone to Nowitzki (who struggled offensively in the 4th quarter), or Stackhouse should have been on the floor to take the shot. With about 20ish seconds to go, to TV commentator seemed to blame a turnover by Dampier on a bad pass from Nowitzki, but it seemed more like Dampier was not aware of the play and didn't pay enough attention to where the ball was going. It seemed like a perfectly good pass, and Dampier let it slip right out of his hand. There is no reason to discredit Nowitzki for tihs play IMO.

For the Heat, huge games by Mourning, Haslem, and Walker. This is the defensive player that Mourning proved himself to be years ago before he got sick. Walker showed signs of life from his time with Boston (but where were the threes? Very poor three point shooting by both teams), and Haslem stepped up when he was needed most. Of course, another outstanding game by Dwayne Wade. This guy's got loads of great talent.
