The Heat have been amazing the past few games. Wade is unstoppable in the 4th quarter and comparisons between him and jordan are not that far fetched. Payton has been making key shots too. Shaq has not been much of a force in the finals and I doubt he will ever be as good as he was on the Lakers. As for the Mavericks Dirk is choking and his superstar status is being proven false. Howard, I feel sorry for him for calling that dumb timeout because now if they lose the series everyone is gonna blame him even though he has carrried them on his back the past few games. Jason Terry has been the only other amazing player for the Mavs in the finals which makes me wonder why every player that my Hawks get rid of ends up being great or at least productive and successful on other teams (Antoine Walker or Boris Diaw anyone?). Well to sum things up I think the NBA has been revitalized from the post-Jordan era. With young stars like Wade and James and great playoff basketball that hasn't been this exciting in years great memories of Bird, Johnson, and MJ come to mind.
