Heat Up, 3-2

Yeehaw. Heat up 3-2 against Mavs.

I know Dallas is favored, but I'd still like to see the Heats win. The Mavericks' roster is deep and talented. They'll have plenty more chances at the title. The Heat's time in the sun is extremely limited, so if they don't win now, who knows when they'll get back to the finals again. Here are a few reasons....

Alonzo Mourning: One of the best centers back in the 90s, before he was diagnosed with some kidney disease and forced into early retirement. He luckily had a successful transplant and was able to return. The dude's playing with one kidney, literally, and on borrowed time. Give him a ring already.

Gary Payton: Took a paycut last year to play with the Lakers, where his dream for a title collapsed. Took another paycut this year to play with the Heats for a shot at the title again. Used to stick to oppononts like the "Glove", but when you see the likes of Jason Terry blow past him these days in the Finals, Payton looks more like a spectator. Though, you still have to give him credit for coming up with some big-time geriatric shots in at the end of games 4 and 5. Give him a ring already, before the old man breaks his hip or something.

Mark Cuban: He's the owner of the Mavericks. I just don't like him that much, for some strange reason. So, I'd rather root against his team.

Shaq: Well, he's just Shaq/Diesel/Superman. This 300lb gorilla has put up enough bricks (especially at the free throw line) in his career to build the Empire State Building. What he lacks in free throw shooting skills, he makes up for in finesse. Yes, I realize that "finesse" and 300lb just don't really go together. The closest comparison would be with those dancing hippos in Dumbo. You get the idea. I like his no-look and behind-the-back passes.
