Disagree. Dirk has been on a much higher level. Dallas will take LeCon down in 6 games.

Dirk has been better offensively. He is shooting over 50% from the floor and 3pt line, and almost automatic with FTs. James is playing great defense but the Bulls just dont have any legit 2nd option to Rose. Mavs have more depth, experience, much better shooters, and home court advantage.

You may be right about the team winning, im just saying I think LeBron is playing better than all, with obviously, as you stated, a lack of depth and experience. He has basically just stepped up his game like a star should. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so i respect yours.

Looking forward to LeBron vs Dirk Diggler and who steps up down the stretch as both have been killer closers.

James will have ample opportunities to win championships, this may be Dirk's last chance...and one to exercise the demons of blowing it against the same franchise a few years ago.

Can't wait

Who covers Dirk for the Heat? Surely not Chris Bosh, he would foul out by half time. They don't really have anyone that has the size and speed to put on Dirk that would give him any problems.

As a Mavs fan I want the Heat in the finals. They are much better matchup as they are not a very big team and will not control the boards. The Heat are great defensively, but they are not dominant on the offensive end. They have dominant players but for some reason haven't really turned their game into an up tempo dunk fest like you would expect with Lebron, Wade and Bosh.

I think it is the Mavs time and I think they beat the Heat in 6 or less.

The Heat has no bench. If the mavs can successfully get Bosh, Le BoBo or wade in foul trouble, they can take them easily.

The Bulls have to make some moves in the off season. Boozer is a part time player and has to go. They need a more serious second scoring threat than Kyle Korver.

No. Z-Bo played at a higher level. Lebron has way more talent around him. Of the 4 teams left? That argument can be made, although I'm not sure it is clear cut between he and Dirk.

He closed the game on Rose(who had played the entire 2nd half and OT). I'd bet that if Lebron tries to guard Rose for the entire game 5, Rose will figure him out and get his.

Lebron and his pals are also getting ref help. Case and point - Deng pump faked him(LJ), he didn't leave his feet, Deng jumps into him and it's a foul on Deng. Later in the game, Wade does the EXACT same thing to Brewer and it's a no-call. Lebron initiates contact with defenders regularly, and rarely gets called on it. I was shocked when they called the push-off on him at the end of regulation. That's a regular move of his as well.

If you were picking one player to lead your team it would be Lebron no doubt. He can do it all and in my opinion still getting better. The heat finally have what they thought would be their team all year and will be tough to beat. Dirk is great on offense and I mean great but when compared to all Lebron can do, its not even close. And if they win it this year, they could rattle off several championships in a row.

Let's just say they held a draft tomorrow with every player. Who do you think most GM's pick?

your right on that one, but I just don't believe him to be the best, I like D Wade better simply because he has more of a killer instinct, I trust the ball in his hands when I need it most over putting it in LeBron's hands

That's not really based on reality either, certainly not on these playoffs or this season in general.

No it isn't. Wader was 0fer for the season in the situations you suggested. Here is a link up through 09. And even if what are saying is true, you argument originally was Lebron isn't the best player on the team. Robert Horry nailed many last second shots, but he was never the best player on his team. Same goes for Fisher.
