Official 2006 NBA Basketball Playoffs


Recommended Posts

I have been saying this for well over a year now. If anyone is going to be the next Michael Jordan, it is NOT going to be LeBron James, it will be Dwyane Wade. I even asked Steve Kerr if he thought so on his column for yahoo, and I am pretty sure he answered it in his next article, but I think he reworded the question, so it would make a better story, because oddly enough a little girl asked the exact same qustion I did, with the exact same words.

I dont know why I'm the only one who can see this.

I havnt seen so many floping pieces of **** since i last watched an ACC game. Well except for when i watched some of the worldcup this morning, but thats a differnt sport, and everysingle team/player does that all game so that normal, i guess.

I have to admit, the refs swallowed the whistle in the last 5 minutes. I don't think David Stern would have enjoyed a sweep

lol, their was bad calls on both sides, its funny when mia lose 2 games i didnt see dame refs they did about 15 bad calls vs mia in 2 games(well it was like 30 bad calls in 2 games 15 mia, 15 dal)

and new its 20 bad call in 2 games at mia(about 10 to 10 bad calls)

and the mavs Centers in game 3 were pushing morning in the 3rd, and the bad goaltending call vs shaq.

Dirk totally had an offnight in Game 4. I was also surprised that Avery Johnson attempted not to double-team Shaq for a few possessions in the 3rd quarter. And of course, Shaq took advantage of it and scored one-on-one against Diop and Dampier.

Alonzo Mourning's blocks were also emphatic, especially the one on Dirk's dunk attempt, woah! Jerry Stackhouse's flagrant foul in Shaq was cool too! Haha.

I think Dallas' totally shut-down Shaq with their double-teams on him. Games 5 & 6 will depend on Wade to help Miami win the title.

Wooohoo!

shaq had a good game.

13 Rebounds;6-8 FG 75%;5-10 FT 50%;2 blocks;17 points on 29 mins

but wade had a great game.

this means nothing,if the heat lose next game they most take all 3 home games. dallas could lose if they know that means nothing, 4 games all home team wins. so i think mavs in7. at some point shaq will have a big game he will need to.

who got more lucky Stackhouse or the heat when wade stopped shaq from getting up?

shaq hand is the size of Stackhouse's face ;)

lol, KzR we joined neowin a year 2 days diff. and i have about 200 more post

Dallas has to come up with an answer to Wade to at least slow him down and they also have to make their wide open shots. I remember yesterday in the second quarter, Griffin rebounded the ball three times in the same offensive possession and Dallas went 0-4 all from 3's in that possession. To me, that's a lack of banging in shots when they are wide open that pretty much dictated the game.

Dallas has to rely less on 3's and more on attacking the basket.

I dont think their will be anyone that will be able to stop Wade. No matter what they do, it wont be enough. He can drive to the basket at will. He could seriously score on every possesion if he wanted. Thats what ****es me off so much about him, he could go for 40 every night, be he gets a decent shot, then passes off to one of the bum forwards. The only thing dallas can do is stop everyone else, and just dont even worry about wade, because hes going to score no matter what, especially when they are at home, or if they try to hurt him with some cheap foul.

Who ever said they swallowed their wistles at the end of the game, you are so full of ****. I have never seen so many damn offensive fouls since i watched a duke game. Dallas had 24 fouls, Miami had 26, Dallas had 1 technical fould, Miami had 4. In the fourth quarter Dallas had 5 fouls, and Miami had 7.

Did you even watch it?

Stackhouse suspension, he will not be in game 5, thats good for the heat. but i know he did a hard foul(to get shaq suspensed i bet)but he shouldnt get suspened.

Well if they are going to suspend other players for the exact same thing, they for sure have to do it here. Especially in a high profile game as this, and it dosnt help that it was on a fast break, also it being on the largest player in the league, and if you are going to knock O'Neal out like that, its going to take alot of force, which is alot more force then should be needed on any play, period.

shaq is a big man, and it takes alot of force but its like if someone hit wade in the face and wade fall they wouldnt call anything, its no the amount of force but the intent, shaq did hit him in the face he may have want to take shaq out,is that the ? and if so did he try to take out shaq? its not how bad but how over need is it or over kill.

In my opinion, this suspension was over the top. Shaq was running at full speed and Stackhouse did what every player does, which is foul the player on his way up. The reason why Shaq fell was because he was running at top speed and so was Stackhouse, hence why he fell.

It kinda sucks that only like 3 or 4 people on this whole damn site actually care about basketball. The sports section on neowin kinda sucks, but i guess thats to be expected. As is with most sites on the internet, becuase oddly people who use computers alot dont usually follow sports.

strange

Hopefully the Heat wrap it up tonight... This is coming from a die hard Knicks fan, but I am all about Shaq getting another ring without Kobe, and DW is the real deal. You have to love his game if you are a fan of the sport itself.

With that said, the Mav's are also fun as all hell to watch. Dirk is also the real deal, but he is looking like a little girl the way the Heat's defense is man handling him... Still they run up and down the court with the best of them, and it is without a doubt entertaining to watch..

So, I am hoping that after tonight, Dirk can listen to all the David Hasselhoff he wants, cause like Charles and Kenny say, the Mavs are Going Fishing soon enough... :rofl:

I truly believe that even though the last two games are at home for the Mavs, at this point it is more a mental game than anything else. The Heat have seen that they can beat the Mavs, they are only one game away instead of two, so I think the Heat will pull it off, even if it is in Game 7, and even if it is barely...

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
