Heard this stat: The last time two franchises who never made the finals met was 1971 when the Baltimore Bullets and Milwaukee Bucks met.

I was thinking 1977 when you had the Philly 76'ers vs Portland Trail Blazers but I guess they count Philly winning it all as the Warriors back in '67 (Wilt played for them) before moving West.

I'll check back about the 4th of July which is probably about the time they get around to playing game 4.

No way I'm watching any game 7 though. It'll conflict with Monday Night Football

We will be on top of all games. I think the Mavs won last night's game by ten, so they are up 1-0.

We'll see if the Mavs can recover from last night's collapse.

2-1 Dallas

Game four is tonight. I'll recap on Saturday or Sunday or maybe Willie can knock it out.

Miami pulls off a critical Game Five win with more Dwayne Wade heroics and a questionable foul call. Dallas owner Mark Cuban fined for bitching at the refs and dropping f-bombs. He's melting hard as Stern makes damn sure he doesn't have to hand that asswipe the trophy.
Right now it is 3-2 Heat, with the Series going back to Dallas. Jerry Stackhouse, who was suspended from game 5 for his hard foul on Shaq in game 4 (See Stern, David), will be back in game 6. If the Mavericks win tonight, they will win game 7.
I've seen too many instances in baseball and basketball where a team is up 3-2 but has to go on the road, and the home team always wins two straight.

We'll see.
