Nowitzke injures finger on left hand

[edludes]

Torn tendon on non- shooting hand.Too bad for Miami,this will give the other side an excuse for what's about to happen.I saw what I expected to see in this series,Miami is effective guarding dallas ( reads Nowitzke) and Dallas is not effective guarding James or Wade.Don't be fooled by the non shooting hand stuff,it'll hurt like hell , he'll be slowed by it if he's human and its another edge for Miami.

And yet the line is the same as in Game 1. :shrug:

I can't see Dallas playing as poorly offensively in game #2 despite Dirk's injury. Dallas didn't have any flow and they know this game is pivotal in order for this series to be competitive. I'm leaning Dallas at this point.

Just viewed another board and EVERYONE loves Miami. Understandable considering they have covered 5 straight and 9 of their past 11 ATS in the playoffs. Mavs are on a 2 game losing streak ATS.

Dallas has to abuse Miami in the post and they have to manage to hold the Big 3 for the Heat in check which is nearly impossible. Still, make Bibby, Miller, Haslem, and company beat you.

A pulled tendon even in Dirks left hand will affect his play.

I have played alot of basketball in my life and I can remember when I had injurys to my left hand how it affected my play.

Miami will d him up hard. Block him and make him go left.

They will bump him and play rough just like last game.

I do not like what I see for Dallas hopes in this game.

I cannot put my money down because with Dirk, their most important player injured, it may be a no show game again for Dallas.

Not sure if they can cortisone it or give him Meds to help the pain. I doubt it.

Reports are that Dirk didn't miss a beat in shoot arounds today. Finger is not a problem.

He owes chandler and Marion for this one,he was no factor for 45 minutes,but came through huge at winning time

CHICAGO ??? During Monday???s pregame broadcast, TNT basketball analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley confirmed that there have been only three straight players in the history of the league: himself and two of his former Phoenix Suns teammates. "So there was me, obviously, Kevin Johnson, and I'm pretty sure Dan Majerle was mostly straight," said Barkley, adding that Wilt Chamberlain had sex with at least twice as many men as women. "George Mikan, Michael Jordan, Jerry West, the entire Detroit Pistons roster under Chuck Daley, Chuck Daley, James Worthy, which is a no-brainer once you meet the guy, Derrick Coleman, and everyone else???all card-carrying friends of Dorothy. I???ll say this, if you want to see gay in all its glory, enter an NBA locker room. There is no more gay-friendly place on earth.??? Barkley's controversial statement comes on the heels of another incident just two days earlier, when Kevin McHale, upon being asked about Joakim Noah's use of an antigay slur, responded by passionately kissing TNT commentator Kenny Smith until the channel broke to commercial.
