Opening night of the 2011 NBA playoffs concludes in Dallas and American Airline Center as the Mavericks host the Portland Trailblazers Dallas the three seed won 57 games during the regular season Portland the six seed won 48 games they split their regular season series two games a piece Doris maybe never has a

Team with that many regular season wins been so dismissed even before the playoffs had begun questions about the Dallas Mavericks are they too old are they tough up will they have another early season bow out in the playoffs is Dirk noisy get enough support from a consistent second score for Rick Carlile

He said it’s all about their disposition dismiss the pass play tonight they’ve lost in the first round three of the last four years here’s nitzki 0 for two on the night 10th leading score in the NBA during the regular year and he hits there over Andre Miller here’s Wallace

The 10-year Pro out of Alabama and a great play by Chandler coming over for the swap here’s nitzki with the [Applause] jumper four points for dirk Dallas by five again Portland only has seven points in 5 and A2 minutes and the Blazers call it timeout five-point lead

For the Mavs early on 57 wins 11th straight 50 win season but no titles and the MAV players know if they don’t win of the playoffs those 57 wins mean nothing Aldridge led the NBA in alyo dunks former number two overall pick in 2006 play a short time at University of

Texas before going pro as nitzki gets his third field goal what’s to be done with that I mean good luck trying to get a piece nobody picks up a two short with a three and Berea tracks down the loose [Applause] [Applause] ball here’s kid in the lane averages eight on the year and already with eight here in the first quarter nitzki three turnovers and three field goals in that quarter sto yakovich for three that could be huge for Dallas Dallas went 29 and 12 at home that’s the second worst

Home record among West playoff teams but they had the best road record in the league tied with the heat nitzki with his fourth field goal and the Dallas lead is six to your point the fewest offensive possessions in the League this year the Blazers but they are efficient that’s one of the

Reasons why they won 48 games here’s nitzki again Falling Away dirt got that one his fifth field goal and he’s finally in double figures with 10 points here’s nitzki patum defending shot clock is at five Burk spinning in the lane and foul on baton first foul on Portland

Here in the quarters shot clock at box Wallace gets past Paia and missed the layup Dallas has missed its last nine shots nitzki falling away and a foul is called May McAn thought that it was a block shot he’s on near half court complaining but Mike Gan says no Roy

With three on the timer short Wallace trying to keep it alive Dallas ball down four at the 5minute Mark game one winner in a best of seven ends up winning the series Almost 80% of the time Durk going back door got it from kid and a block by Aldridge b a

Foul is call nitzky gets him both and it’s a two-point game it’s amazing how often that guy is right around 50% from the floor 40 from three and 90 from the free throw line it’s extraordinary consistency shot clock at two Miller Dallas can tie to retake the lead [Applause] here nitzki

Bumped and that puts the Blazers over the limit with 4 minutes and 16 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter Dallas one of the best free throw shooting teams in the league Dirk one of the best of all time 89% this year he made 74 straight at one point in March and he’s

Seven of seven Theon night one more coming Rick Carlile has a very long history in this game and I asked him where he thought Dirk fit and remember now he was a teammate of Mr bird okay he said top 10 or 15 all time no questions

Miller no Chandler Bo let’s go nitzki has come alive here in the final frame he goes back door takes it in strong and it’s [Applause] foul hit the deck hard holding his left elbow remember there was a great free agent class last year and Dirk nitzki

Could have been part of it but he actually took about $2 million less per year to stay in Dallas wants to finish his career as a ack signed the new four-year contract and even though he hasn’t had great numbers in terms of points in rebounds still been a terrific season

Potential First Team all NBA for the fifth time he’s got 13 here in the fourth 10 of 10 from the free throw line here’s nitzki defended by the smaller Miller Dirk with the spin baks it in and the foul 16 fourth quarter points 26 for the

Batum that’s easy picking Dirk likes that match up he’s way more comfortable against baton than anyone else and he gets down there and those are the shots he practic those one-legged little fadeaways and stuff but he’s very very aggressive when the tombs guarding him ban whips it to nitki nitzki

Deflected fora and he’s fouled and Dirk made a great hands got hands on the ball right there cuz that was a layup for Andre Miller if he had got hands on it a throw out to stovic and stovic [Applause] High nitzki fading got it oh Derk likes this match up right here against

Chance to stay alive in this first round playoff match up Marion it’s a double came right at nitzki nitzki on Aldrich aldri hasn’t been able to get that hook to go no that’s his shot though he’s getting it right deep in the paint and that little right hand jump hook going

Over the left shoulder is his shot they’ll live with that Porton likes that shot nitzki fading speaking of liking shots that’s Dirk’s favorite shot that little one-legged Fade Away nitzki straight line drive you don’t see Dirk throw it down too often especially with one hand and nitzki going into the whole hard Terry

To nitzki com it and the foul on Aldrich his first three of the game has six assist as Andre Miller the foul the second on Berea tough guard here for Matthews nitzky what a tough shot I mean I I didn’t think that was going to go

From my angle it looked like you know he banked that in and you know he had Wesley Matthews on him much taller and just rose up and banked it in up over him [Applause] Nitzki nitzki the free vum right now on Chandler here’s Terry driving wide open is nitzki look like shoot around all right thanks here’s Terry tuck to slow him down yeah I think he’s just going to try to just score with him here’s Terry lights it up crossover Roy gives it up Wallace No

Hit on the floor here’s nitzki backing down fading nitzki shooting from the field here in this series he’s struggled here’s nitzki looking for Chandler who throws it down Wallace got of post up hereid backing him down now gets in the lane there you go for Gerald Wallace that’s his game

Yeah and you know when Gerald gets into post sometimes he goes too fast he’s like a whiring derish down there there he was he had a huge size Advantage took it took his time crab dribbled nice little layup patient right yep patient the key to the post absolutely oh very

Nice mat patient with a purpose I’ve been listening to you only one offensive rebound for Portland despite 17 Miss shots getting to the free throw line 10 to 10 there shot clock down tough angle and nitzki makes it wow are you kidding me Stevenson here’s nitzky triggers it

Jerk nitzki connects he’s got 11 nitzki Marian in the paint Shan Maran has come alive here in this series Aldridge in this series averaging better than 23 points and nearly seven rebounds guarding nitzki nitzki backing down in the lane shot doesn’t fall offensive rebounds have been a key component to

Dallas there’s a three Dirk nitzki from downtown This is where Dirk has just overpowered him and just feels comfortable going in there and again I tell you what there’s a crowd silencer but how about that Fe that’s an unbelievable shot on their feet here at the Rose Garden most of the fans nitzki and he’s fouled by [Applause]

Batum shot clock at five Terry [Applause] oh Crow silencer Miller with Roy three on the clock Roy step back Roy no kid remember no timeouts here’s Terry [Applause] no Portland wins game four the opening tip is controlled by Portland and we are underway deep two is missed by Wallace

And a rebound taken by Tyson Chandler is fourth one here in the early going the Mavericks get a quick shot attempt in the early offense and it’s dirt getting his first two I was just going to say I thought Jason kid had a layup but that’s

A layup for dirk nitzki so we’ll take that one no other changes made by Portland they made that one sub with Batum going in when Wallace got his second foul on the drive to the basket finish by Dirk everything is to the basket right now for the Maverick which

Really can can pay dividends for them late in this game if they continue to attack mat went down by eight trying to make a run to the line Dirk will get two with 9:30 left in the second quarter for Portland they just committed their third team foul of the second

Quarter it’s the first on Rudy Fernandez back out to dirt from Jason Terry inside to Haywood Haywood is fouled he gets a finish he’s got fouled a lot inside in this series eight on the shot clock Andre Miller Rises mid-range jumper no good long rebound to kid he subed in for

Beret at the last time out running the floor Dirk finds Terry and he ties the game that’s great transition basketball first it was great defense then Dallas able to get out in transition Dirk makes a great pass a touch for dirk spun away for the double shot fake step through

Move and a scoot to the hoop and you can shoot the jump shot like dirt can you can always get a guy to go for the shot fake Nate McMillan protects Gerald Wallace who got two fouls in the first quarter takes him out here late in the

Second Terry fell down hey look what I found for dirk hits the mid-range J Miller has has scored the ball well in this series 18 18 16 and 14 His Four game total is coming into tonight as dirt gets the hoop Aldrich with that Miss now three for nine Dirk trailing

Short on a three ball rebound Chandler Maran kept it alive Stevenson will let her r no Wallace with a rebound the save in the right to Dirk who had it goal tended by Aldridge Cardinal S by Wallace on that one you never Sav it in under basket you never do that that that’s

Elementary basketball and a good break for the Dallas Maverick double team Dirk eluded the second Defender Marion spins and tosses it in in deep Dirk is improved in that area he knows the defense is coming he’s getting himself ready to make the pass it’s just a matter of Dallas having the proper space

And spacing offensively now have attempted 16 foul shots only one for the Blazers before those two by Matthews top of the key jumper string music for dirt stretches the Dallas lead back to four I have a place they can go offensively in this third quarter if they want to

Listen to me Dirk nitzki Don’t Go Away From Success is that what you’re telling me never do it Mark poked away from Dirk going Baseline pump fake now he’ll go to the line with 523 to go in the third quarter what was that you said a minute

Ago if you keep going to him he’s going to finally get to the free throw line Dirk did made the same move basically post up Dirk driving on alridge underneath lays it in they’re looking for the jump shot yeah Dirk is using all of his game putting the ball on the

Floor Mara dribbling out the clock and that will do it 9382 Dallas wins game five it’s now game six of this Western Conference first round a matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and the Portland Trailblazers Dallas leads the series three games to two can the Mavs exercise their road

Playoff demons or will Portland force a game seven on Saturday alri posting up no but Wallace doing what he does getting to the offensive glass and a putback second time for a putback on Wallace there and Marion’s going to have to put a body on him that guy is an

Offensive rebounding machine it’s you Stevenson knocking down that corner three y Aldrich low start one of five but Wallace has 11 of the 19 here’s nitzki and so out of the timeout a 40 spurt by Dallas to pound things down nitzki 60 and he screams out at the crowd let’s

Go but the pace has changed since that Dallas timeout as you alluded to Kevin settling it down and nitzki nice post move there by der nitzki and nitzki takes it hard and Chris Johnson right there Brandon Roy up getting in between Chris Johnson and Dirk nitzki and Dirks come on now

Berea here’s Terry gives it up Dirk up top backing down on Fernandez nitzky and here come the mats and one of the things you need to do to win an NBA championship during the playoffs you got to got to win some road games Kevin yeah you surely do the surprising thing on

There on there is the 08 Celtics 3 and N but if you hang around 500 on the road in the playoffs you’re playing top you know caliber team that’s going to be good enough you win your home game and win about half your Row games You’ be in

Good shape and that hasn’t been the the Maverick strong suit they’ve lost eight in a row on the road nitzki on the inside and he makes it a four-point game Roy will catch and shoot Maran gets it ahead now Terry to nitki there you go that’s what you

Wanted the lob in the dunk Kevin yeah Dirk’s feeling good he threw down a twoh hander he does that once every couple weeks Nate McMillan’s team has won 12 of the last 13 home games dating back to the regular season their lone loss to Golden State and during that stretch they have

Handled Dallas four times Aldridge on the inside great hand again getting leaking out and getting to the rack getting a little you know cherry picking a little bit there just running back out and getting out ahe of the Portland defense Dallas now up 4943 3 seconds 2 seconds Terry the three on time Terry nitzki shot clock at five nitzki no tapped away kid has to let it fly and it goes [Applause] kid Dirk nitzki the silencer nitzki again over Wesley Matthews battling for position takes it using the matchup to his Advantage nitzki open

Jason kids going to hold on to it and Dallas is going to take this first round Series against Portland in a game six on the road Kevin beautiful 74° night in Southern California the usual sellout crowd better than 19,000 still making their way into Staple Center for game

One of this best of seven Weston conference semifinal series it’s the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers meeting for the first time in the postseason since back in 1988 Dallas 57 and 25 in the regular season opening round of the playoffs they knocked off the Blazers in six they

Wrapped up the series Thursday night at Portland nitzky over Gasol well Pal Gasol doesn’t guard anybody like Dirk all season long litsky beautiful Fade Away on Gasol he is ridiculous he is so good and I don’t know if there’s ever been a player like him in NBA

History over nitzki well Durk is going to have a much tougher time defensively in this series than he did in the last one he spent most of that time against Portland guarding Marcus cambi and Chris Johnson just playing off of them as he knocks down the jumper but at the same

Time Pal Gasol also going to have a much more difficult time nitzki over Odum quick release by Dirk nitzki he’s four five for eight points out of 5 Seconds nitzki battling to get inside and Mark Carle is going with Brewer because of his defensive size as nitzki

Knocks down the jumper and is fouled by Gasol but Rick carlle did not want to go to Jason Terry this early in the quarter that would have altered his normal rotation pattern on chest backing his way kid got a piece of it facing kid so good at reaching in or reaching around

Nice play Maran from nitzki and now the Mavericks showing some signs nitzki with room yes Dirk nitzki with 17 points down to a half minute to go in the quarter JJ Berea who just came on hits a three big shot there from Berea Mar it looked like that Laker

Lead was going to climb up to double digits again and that one’s going to stem the tide here if they can get a stop here going into the fourth quarter the MS have to feel pretty good about this litzky on a fade away unguardable I mean just bailing his team

Out of a a bad offensive possession where they had no advantages anywhere and Durk off that one foot just incredible 19 points 10 rebounds for nitzki here’s nitzki from downtown the Laker lead is one Durk has had a terrific game shot clock at six Bryant to the fade yes

94 91 Lakers final minute of the fourth nitzki working on Odum nitzki yes wow the strength of Dirk nitzki just driving Odum off of him and leaning back back with that one-footed fade away Bryant play by kid here is Bryant picked off by carry and a foul committed by fiser B him on

The inbounds as kid gets it into nitzki and he’s fouled by theol the Lakers over the limit and nitzki will go to the line and gets the very friendly roll so he’s four for four tonight and the game is tied Dallas has taken a onepoint lead and here comes Kobe Kobe for

Three rebound is SLA by Terry and that’s it the Dallas Mavericks have defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in game one here at Staples n La we moments away from game two of this best of s western conference semi-final series the Dallas Mavericks and the two-time defending Champion Los Angeles Lakers in the night

Cap of TNT’s playoff double-headed in game one Monday night Dallas came back from a 16-point deficit nitzki JJ Berea played a major role in Game one is on the floor here’s nitzki who just checked back in prior to that game in Portland they were 2 and 18 uh beginning and there’s

The number beginning with the three straight they lost in Miami in the 06 finals when they really had control of that Series so this is a team that has struggled on the road dir nitzki knocking down the three Lakers are within four we’re early second quarter odm defending on

Nitki nitzki off one foot you know he always wants to get back to that shoulder that’s that’s where he’s most comfortable all right thank you R congratulations to Blake Griffin as vitki is is able to knock it down FL taking Rookie of the Year honors haran from nitzki yes and a cow

And a great look from nitzki as they try to trap in the corner but was able to turn and find the cutter sha Mar Dallas can play it down a fraction of a second differential well nitzki takes the shot and hits dallis back up by two final seconds of the first

Half Stevenson hit two from downtown and make it three as he went glass and that was not his intent you know what you’re not allowed to hold up three fingers when you bank it in from the top of the key that’s that’s ridiculous back tap controlled by the Ms and they take

Advantage of three from the mitsky Lakers are within two in the opening round series they lost their first game at home and then went on to beat the Hornets but but obviously the Hornets are not as as talented and deep as this Dallas team this is a much better team

Much more experienced team and of course they’ve got this guy with the ball right now Dirk nitzki oh a rainbow shot by [Applause] nitzki nitzki a wild shot yes and the foul off one foot fouled by Gasol and he will go to the line following the timeout just an impossible shot

I mean he does this so easily and yet it looks so difficult the turn the fade off one foot high arcing shot Dallas on the verge another stunner pulled off by the Dallas Mavericks here at Staples in Los Angeles and again the you can hear the booze from the

Crowd welcome to Dallas Texas where this West conference semifinal Series has shifted after two surprising games in Los Angeles it’s game three Mavericks and the Lakers Chan rebound quick outl to kid gets out to Stevenson good ball movement nitzki a little fake the two-pointer for dirk

Nitzki G what an addition he’s been all season long who’s kind of changed the culture defensively for this team R Carlile saying in a short time really became one of the true leaders on a veteran team as nisy count it and a foul and I think that’s on Kobe Bryant and

That would be the second on Bryant nitzki wide open for three first lead of the night for the Dallas Mavericks that can’t be your pick and roll strategy you coach is 100% right can’t be the strategy because somebody’s got to be running to the body of Dirk nitzky he’s too good of a

Shooter another breakdown and another C Mavericks four for four from downtown gou misses Haywood can’t hold on to it nice save from Terry ahead nitzki how does nitzki get behind the defense like that and the Mavericks with their largest lead in the early going B guarded by Kobe who do think that b

Would outscore Kobe Bryant in the fourth quarter of a playoff game that was the case in game two and litzky drives on gou blocked by odm but it was off the glass of Goen dir kitki now with 16 Marian looking for an opening finding him right up in on

Nitzki still knocks it down 18 first half points for nitzki and that’s all right nothing you can do just move on down the floor sometimes great players make tough shots key of course for the Lakers has been defensively they’ve had some struggles second quarter as novitzki hit a basket to start out I

Thought they got their their game a lot better nitzki with 20 points nitzki on the drive kicks it out K another three Johan Maran gets him a new 24 nitzki for three oh D nitzki from downtown and it’s back to a one-point game nitzki hand in his face knocks it

Down let’s go he says after he hits the shot makes it a six-point game nitzki a three Gasol calling for the ball against nitzki [Applause] now puts up the high arching shot and excellent boxing out by [Applause] Chandler nitzki across the lane sty yakovich bang three-point game litzky single coverage now on Gasol makes the drive block for a foul and nitzky will go to the line with a chance to give the Mavericks the lead mads Take the Lead 240 remaining fiser the leaner Derek fiser Banks it in

Big bucket from fiser Gasol stays on nitzky pit trying to get him on the pick and roll Theo right up on him five to shoot nitzki out to kid pass to Terry left corner three pucks it in Mavs by two Odum against St yakovich difficult shot he knocks it down so many

Big Shots here in the fourth quarter niny drives on gou stops left handed flips it up and in what a shot from nitzki 32 points for the seven footer Ryan fires up the three Terry gets it and the Dallas Mavericks stun the Lakers and take a three nothing lead you on Mother’s Day

2011 from Dallas Texas and in the American Airlines Center and it’s game four of the Western Conference semifinal and a feel of history in the air as the Dallas Mavericks try to sweep the Los Angeles Lakers and close the curtain on the Hall of Fame head coaching career of

Phil Jackson Kobe just has to be smart here you know that Jason kid very solemn is going to take you all the way into the paint you know that he wants the he wants to just spot up play off and look for the three Des Stevenson opens the

Game with a three one future Hall of Famer to another kid to nitzki now that’s a situation where when you’re playing a guy like nitzki and he’s in the corner and the pass comes out you got to get that forearm on him they call a flop on Gasol and nitzki has his first

Field goal of the afternoon Jason Terry Off the Bench knocks down the three and this has been a huge story in the series The Bench of the mavage Ryan fell down Pia finds Dirk now good move will keep his dribble he’ll get down in there and then he’ll pick out exactly what he

Wants and the big thing is is he can score the ball short or long got the switch nitki to Terry he is five of five from behind the long line how you doing JT navs have missed their last six but La not able to take advantage on the

Turnover here’s kid five Defenders down in the painted area taking away every passing angle and nitzki who’s been quiet here in this half he only has eight points 25o lead for the Mavericks how about that pass this is DK nitzky at his best this year finals 2006 up 2 of 13 with

633 left in the fourth quarter Wade gets aggressive gos to the line a lot lose game three lose the series in six hey hey Mike only two guys are still on that team right absolutely all Jason Terry and turky they’re having some pretty good games here hey nit KN down the

Western pman Finals it’s game one between the Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder no way as a coach or as a Player No matter how much practice you put in no matter how much scrimmaging you do can you simulate actual game situations so you lose out on the

Constant battle and this is a Maverick team that had tremendous R and there’s that tremendous shooter in Dirk kitki this game of basketball and see nothing like this a seven-footer with that kind of shooting ability this be on the drive gets inside draws some contact and he’ll go to the line just because

Chance points but the Thunder just was so explosive to start Wen a lot of opportunities to hit so many shots nitzki draws the foul and he’ll head to the line as Collison picks up his second Harden pushing Harden driving and finishing Terry trying to push it up the

Other way bad back up to 11 no vitki for three he is shooting so well from downtown in the playoffs 50% he’s fourth over 50% he’s now 14 for 27 nitzki nice fake off the [Applause] glass and scoring so many ways Oklahoma City shooting 65% from the field nitzki

Haywood nice pass pass from Dirk nitzki and Haywood with some big minutes off the bench he’s got six points why don’t we show those players when they comport themselves well going back to the bench and go back to them over and over why do we only show the players in that way in

A negative light theki able to put that in litzky to sha Marian lost it picked up by Chandler litzky sets fires knocks it down that was an ugly possession but it ended in two points Westbrook on nitzki on the transition and nitz so good at taking advantage of that Westbrook the mid-range

Floater and nitzky the rebound there nitzki Durant with a block but they call a foul and he runs down the other end obviously not pleased as nitzki back to the free throw line that’s Durant’s first personal three minutes G by here in the the third nitzki guarded by Ibaka gets to the

Basket nothing quick about it just takes his time and gets where he wants to go nitzky from the foul line well that you expect nitzki extra pass wide open three for Terry puts it in Jason Terry makes it a four-point game Terry kicks it out to Marion

Vitz plenty of time on the shot clock pulls up puts it in dirt nitzki makes it an eight-point game and Scott Brooks needs a timeout Westbrook pulls up puts it in big bucket from Russell Westbrook credit Tyson and the 20th offensive rebound for the thunder tonight nitzki right back with a

Three seven-point game as we approach two minutes remaining Russell Westbrook is an outstanding basketball player when he learns how to play the point guard position and it’s not his fault because he never played it he’s going to be off the chu absolutely absolutely off the chop but two misses right there litzky

On the drive nice fake puts it up puts it in what a tough shot and looked like he got hit as well and it’s a five-point game Westbrook pulls up short rebound ticked and taken by Terry Dallas still very much [Applause] alive litzky spinning on Collison turning

Falling away oh he puts it in D liszki knocks it down it’s a three-point game Durant makes the drive crosscourt to Sephia sephilia the three short bounce won’t go Maran tips it a Terry and kid will bring it up shot clock is turned off Mavericks will not use their last

Timeout in the hands of nitzki back to kid kid pulls back 7 Seconds Collison call for the foul as he grabbed novitzki and dir bisy with a chance to tie the game at the line with 6.4 remaining now nitzki so clutch at the line 11 of 12 tonight he’s been phenomenal in these

Playoffs over 92% in this series alone clutch time out Thunder Westbrook gets it final seconds to Durant Durant fires up blocked by Mar and K hasn’t caused time Jason kid called a timeout what a wise play from kid you can certainly catch and shoot Ali up to and deflected

By Ibaka and we go to overtime litzky on the drive hollison fou him it won’t go and that’s 5,000 on cison as we check in with dorb Scott Brooks walked into his team’s huddle and said to his young guys listen keep your spirits up we are at

Fires up the three that won’t go and the Dallas Mavericks have won their fifth straight game on the road and take a commanding 3-1 lead in this Western Conference Final a sellout crowd tonight at the American Airlines Center it could be a night of celebration for the

Maverick fans he watched their team win two on the road and Alin clinch tonight for Oklahoma City it’s the second elimination game they faced as nitzki knocks down his first I have never seen a guy come off a baseline screen and without a dribble go off one leg and knock in an 18-footer

He has been simply amazing not just his shooting percentage and his shot making ability but how he’s been able to do it in so many different ways Jeff incredible array of shots nitzky on the drive block but a foul this just doesn’t happen he comes off Chandler’s screen he just catches and

Goes off one foot now I’ve seen him do it off the dribble but to come off full speed and still be able to balance up oh spin move Baka never had a chance shot clock at three Harden hand in his face way off well defended by Sha [Applause] Maran gets past Ibaka the Reverse you have to be able to keep JJ Beret in front of you I don’t care if you have to go under on a pick and roll he is turning the corner he’s getting too deep of penetration nitzki remains perfect four for four from the field

Five for five from the free throw line well you give Rick carow and this Mavericks coaching staff a lot of credit they’ve made a decision not to allow Kevin Durant to beat him single handed you know I I’m tired of this this say third time it’s happened in this series

Where the ball goes out of bounds and they give up a basket walking back litzky reverse layup puts it in look like he got hit as well what a shot from Dirk nitzki nitzki nice adjustment misses the layup gets it back again and puts it in great second effort from

Nitzki who’s upset he thought he got to hit a couple of times Durant drives gets inside puts it in tough hard drive to the basket that’s what you say as a point guard look make a play if you can’t make a play against Jason Terry we’re going

Home anyway nitzki nearly puts that in after getting hit and that’s Collison’s fifth foul nitzki for the lead Westbrook again high for the rebound gets knocked down and they’ll reset nitzki again for the lead Bang Allison playing with five fouls defending nitzki nitzki spins head fake puts it

Up off the rim Collison chips it out to Jason kid now they have to foul and they foul nitzki with 13.3 remaining four-point game but Thunder call their final timeout they throw it to Durant a long three off for him won’t go cook tries to

Save it he does back up to Durant Hardon sets puts up the three that misses Marian the rebound Marion comes away and the Dallas Mavericks are going back to the NBA finals Billy Kennedy throws it up and the 2011 NBA Finals underway here at the American Airlines Arena Anthony right up on

Nitzki ER nitzki knocks down his jumper Anthony certainly has the athleticism to deal with a on the the outside as nitzki draws the foul and he will go to the line where he has lived at times during these playoffs and is just an automatic inside the way couple of fakes blocked by

Hayward tries to throw it off the Ray makes a nice catch JJ ber to nitzki and a hard foul and nitzki will shoot too and you try a lot of different things and a lot of different ways you’re trying to take away his airspace but even when you’re close and you contest

In his face he’s got a high release point and can shoot it over you pick and roll LeBron James rotates novitzki does a great job skipping it out of the double team Marian does a good job of driving the close out and then finding the wide open Jason kid that’s good

Offense nitzki lays it up and in nitzky catch and shoot that goes a three-pointer for nitzki who’s shooting over 50% from downtown in the playoffs nitzki tough Fall Away Banks it in there he goes he’s hit some incredible shots during this playoff run you see even

When he attacks the close out the second help man is coming this is a shot he can make he just missed it then coming off a cross screen they showed him a hard double team which resulted in a jump ball situation and then on the double team again as he spins Joel Anthony

Comes but he still has the length and the ability as he fades to get off a clean look at The Rim that’s just an incredible shot and then with great ball movement good close out by Wade but the length of the seven-footer knocks down the corner three bbby wide open and

Again bbby Off the Mark he’s 0 for four all four from downtown and all four good looks and it’s crucial for Mike Bibby to make shots the reason why he’s on the floor is because he’s a knockdown shooter but he is absolutely strugg and aisy knocks a two-pointer we understand

What this guy is dirt nitzki hand down man down knocking down big shots of your Joel after you got it close to the body oh there is a prce to Pi kid and B playing together which they do frequently nice task nitzki and Shan Baran who continues to play well he now

Has 11 points seven boards three assists nitzki across the lane stri and fouled and nitzki who been to the line four times tonight we’ll go again nitzki down a left side can’t finish it but draws the foul Bara to nitzki drives down the lane let A layia banks it in novitzky is

Catching and going instead of letting the defense set on him he’s done it three straight times and three straight times he’s been able to beat him off the dribble because he’s attacking as they’re closing to him Ritz fires away Ritz now with 25 litzky and a foul Dallas is five-game

Road winning streak in these playoffs will come to an end and they’ll Trail in a series for the first time in the 2011 playoffs as the Miami Heat take game one of the NBA Finals welcome to Miami where game one of the finals brought more of what we’ve already seen so often for

This Miami Heat team during these 2011 playoffs a swarming defense from LeBron James Dwayne Wade and the heat defensive stops at crunch time to knock off the Mavericks in game one and now it’s time for Dallas and Dirk niski with that injured left middle finger looking to bounce back like

They’ve done all season long they had a game the Mavericks against Oklahoma City where they were outrebounded by 22 and still won the game as nitzki knocks down that shot James on nitzki and James with the steel saves it right to [Applause] nitzki litzky pass Maran puts it up and gets the bounce

Litzky catch and shoot oh shooting not appearing to be a problem at all two of four from the field lisy on a pullup knocks it down nitzki with six and the Mavericks looking sharp they’re shooting 59% from the field but again catches the basketball on the Run gets Chris Bosch

On his heels and gets to his spoty with waight on him here comes James spoted up Stevenson for three knocks it down a big shot there for Dallas and the Sean Stevenson nine points lisy with BOS on him and draws the fou they don’t seem to

Be sending the double team as early as they did the other night meanwhile nitzki just three of 10 from the field again it doesn’t look like that splint on his non- shooting hand has anything to do with that oh it’s easy for us to say we’re

Not the ones wearing a splint BOS Drive stripped and a visy good job defensively nitzki spinning against Anthony takes his time and bangs it in they need Dirk nitzky to play that way we talked about in the previous series how he felt like he was the best play on

The floor like he played with an edge and he looked like he hasn’t looked that way thus far in this series Dallas had a nine-point lead in the final minutes of the second quarter so a 19-point turnaround as nitzki gives Dallas a much needed bucket there he’s got to be more aggressive

Offensively those are the type of plays that he’s got to make right now upset that no call was made but he’s got to be aggressive vitki knocks it [Applause] downit litzky four Heat players around him Terry’s wide open and gets it to go Terry Terry now three of nine from the

Field Ritz back up to kid wide open for three knocks It Down Jason kid CL shot and it’s a six-point game nitzki hooks it up puts it in twoo game with 243 remaining a 15-2 run James another three won’t go has in the offensive rebound tried to save it ball still loose picked

Up by Terry a minute remaining here goes Marian back to nitzki Lefty layup BS it in and the game is tied what a comeback from the Mavericks time out Miami a 17-2 run and this crowd is stunned shot clock at eight Wade steps back a three Off the Mark nitzki

The rebound hands it off the kid and Miami’s gotten very poor shots down the stretch tonight Terry to nitzki puts up the three puts it in Dallas goes up by three with 26.7 remaining a 20-2 run one of the most incredible comebacks in NBA finals history down 15 with 620 remaining and

Now in the lead can they finish off this extraordinary comeback ch tomers wide open oh tomers knocks down the three and ties the game they put Bosch on Nowitzki in this position seven to shoot litzky drives with underneath Lefty L bangs it in with 3.6 remaining Miami out of

Timeouts trailing by two James back to Wade Wade puts it up for the win Off the Mark and Dallas has tied the finals with one of the most incredible comebacks in NBA finals history what a great game and I love down the stretch they put the ball in their best player’s hands and

Dirk nitzki did not settle for a jump shot put the ball on the floor and I guess we can say that that left finger is okay finishes with a big time laying and then getting back stopping the basketball and contesting the shot of Dwayne Wade Stella job of sealing the

Deal by the Ms and again putting Bosch on him who had done a good job I think the heat were late to help here they alsoit they had a foul to give too nitzky the last nine Maverick points he’s with Doris Dirk you trailed by 15

Points with 6 minutes and 20 seconds to go and all the momentum was with Miami Heat how did you guys turn this thing around well I thought defensively we really got up we got into them we pressured them full court uh and then we scrambled defensively and we even gave

Up some uh some second uh some offensive rebounds but we kept scrambling uh offensively when we get stops we can move and we can uh we can play off the flow I think they really doing a great job on our set offense and we didn’t really have much going so I thought that

The stops and and the Run outs really made made the game easier for us when chamers made the three you were visibly frustrated going to the bench take us through the last play and your ability to respond after that disappointment well you know uh to get to get the lead

After being down 15 was big and and then we just leave a shooter wide open so it was a mental breakdown uh but you know we we still had a good position we’re 24 4 seconds we had the ball it’s TI game and they actually had a foul to give so

I think I went a little earlier thinking it might foul and then we have to take it out of bounds uh but I was able to get by Bosch and uh and make a layout that was big Jason Terry broke out of the shooting slump so I guess we’ll

Forgive him for that uh that last play how important was it to see him make shots tonight for you guys well I think they really doing a good job and like I said they run him off the line they run all our Shooters off the line uh they’re

Very athle athletic on the perimeter uh so finally there in the fourth quarter we found some opening they really sucked in off our penetration and finally he got some open looks he got a run out layup uh and that was big in the fourth we definitely needed some scoring there

W trying to find an opening backs it in his team still down by 11 kid throws it ahead to Terry and Terry La there the lead cut to 11 Co from downtown back within seven marry in the drive flips it up Banks it in and it’s a seven-point

Game way on the drive inside Banks it in what a move three-point game nitzki hooks it up puts it in two-point game Wade it’s good one-point game back to nitzki Lefty layup BS it in and the game is tied pton shot it’s good and the heat

Back up by two Ovitz puts up the three puts it in Dallas goes up by three chance to tie misses the free throw drers knocks down the three and ties the game knocked away and the heat surviv litzky drives mes underneath Lefty land BS it in one of the most incredible

Comebacks in NBA finals history the same team battling each other 5 years apart back in 2006 that game three was the turning point of the finals will game two in Miami be the turning point of this series well we’ll have to wait and find out starting

Tonight Mike can I tell you that you sound great 06 but you sound so much better in 2011 shot clock to three James again attacks knocked Away by nitzki Bosch left open Barry throws it up nitzki backing in double team pretty fake from nitzki once again taking his time second field goal for

Nitzki he trying to go in ball poked away two on one Terry back to nitzki m with a foul counted and one the two-on-one break leading to perhaps a three-point play for the Mavericks commers to BOS Bosch block by nitzki he blocks for dirk nitzki here in

The early going at the same time you’re Dirk nitzky you got to be aggressive and meet force with Force because they can’t guard you hit short but gets his own rebound back out to Vitz wide open for three that’s good there with a much needed three-pointer for the Mavericks

He’s got 10 points in the first half and they went right back to that double or staggered side pick and roll with Jason Terry that helped them down the stretch in game two and it got kid a wideopen three attemp inside the hlin litzky may

Have gotten a piece of it that would be his third block litzky shot there gets it to go nitzki to kid kid for three lead cut to seven timeout Miami on a pullup off the side of the wiim litzky to rebound Dallas is turned it around nicely after that initial hit from the

Heat to start the third novitzki another three nine straight points and it’s back to four nitzki against Wade off balance it’s good what a shot from nitzki and it’s a two-point game beta trying to spin Chas in Pursuit nitzki a good look for Dre knocks it down D nitzki again his third

Three quarter and it ties the game did you not hear what the coach said Chris BOS your job is to run Jason kid off the spot you don’t there’s a price to pay how about Dirk nitki get to his body and contest there’s a price to pay once

Again you’re done as handsome didn’t you hear your coach get to the body of Dirk close that air space outstanding job of shooting by the Mavericks po job of listening to your coach and following instruction by the heat nitzki on the drive and gets the layup to go Bosch tried to draw the

Charge they let it play and Dirk nitzky now with 24 points double team by Chandler and forces the turnover and then a foul call against Miami nitzki back door tie game nitzki the last 10 Maverick points and a great feed from Jason kid Wade on the pullup puts it in BL Wade answers

Message to his team stay with what’s got us here but he did make the change JJ bere in the starting lineup he’s come off the bench in the entire playoffs only started two games in the regular season Jeff the reason for the change well I think they want to get as M gpy

Makes the fade away I think they want to get Berea off this is a better matchup than playing two small guards than Berea and Terry nitzki two for two B has only shot 22% from the field in in this series such a big part of the early playoff success nitzki three for three

To start I tell you what that jump shot is not fair that type of AR on a jump shot is just not fair what he has done in this playoffs absolutely magnificent 51% from the field 94% from the free throw line 52% from three-point range and clutch

Shot after clutch shot especially in the fourth quarter that is a horse shot you’re playing horse in the park that’s the shot that you take to get the guy e and end the game and go home he’s doing it in the NBA Finals isolation and stepping back like he know

Is good when it loaves his hand Jeremy one nice inside R of the other way Berea got the start nitzki drives to the basket and gets hit and he will go to the free throw line for the first time tonight this time gets his shot off draws the foul Joel Anthony has

Four nitzki blocked but a foul Asam on nitzki Asam has done a marvelous job on him nitzki the drive scoop lay up Banks it in three-point game Terry inside nitzki nice pass and he draws the foul Terry able to get it in and Dirk nitzki back

To the free throw line wait again throws it down the corner Miller on the drive shot misses and litzky the rebound and a whistle and a foul and there it is in the hands of nitzky Haslam right up on him he’s going too early drives underneath Lup he puts it in nitzki

Makes it a three-point game timeout [Applause] Miami sometimes even when you’re wrong you’re right a strong move to the basket for nitzki and this play from Dirk nitzki with Dallas clinging to the one-point lead drives and gets it off the glass nit 10 points in the fourth quarter a 197 run by the

Mavericks good ball Den out hit on Wade chanler gets up on him Wade on the drive attacks the goal and throws it down Terry comes to the ball goes in the back court Terry running away from James and he fouls him with 6.7 remaining clutch right there two-point

Game Jason Terry two clutch free throws Miller looking finds Wade Wade lost the ball goes in the back court gets it to Miller Miller puts it up air ball and that’s it the Mavericks have even the series what a game and what a series whatever you do do it hard do it with

Conviction do it with belief all right and do it knowing that you’re going to have 11 other guys in uniform okay and 13 other guys total and a coaching staff in a building behind you and do it with do it decisively and do it with complete trust and that’s that’s all this is

About tonight Maverick fans this will be the final time they see their team play hoping to get a win and then try and get one in Miami as Dallas winning the opening tip these two teams both two victories away from an NBA title vitki it’s his first one to

Go vitki saying feeling much better he had a lot of chicken soup since game four when he had the two fever nitzki back to back jumpers five-point lead for the Mavericks kitki draws the foul almost went in a big part of Dallas’s victory in game four they only turn the

Ball over 11 times that’s often how Miami gets their offense going in transition off turnovers Marion difficult shot they puts it in kitki drives shut off nicely on the double team Stevenson sets up that’s a three boy Stevenson continues to shoot well from downtown 10 of 17 here in the NBA

Finals drives on Anthony stops left handed puts it in you know at the end of the day that’s one-on-one with Joel Anthony and Dirk nisy should feel disrespected and make a play like he just did well you saw LeBron James and obviously he’s playing much better tonight but he’s still

Hasn’t taken a free throw attempt there’s a guy that one of the lead leaders in getting to the Line is It Something Dallas is doing as theki puts it up and in dir nitzki one-on-one situation putting the ball on the floor little contact but the

Ability to stop on a dime that is poetry in motion that is beautiful I could watch this guy shoot I’d like to have a DVD of every shot he’s taken this that’d be my Christmas wish Wade rush it a bit marrying the rebound rebound still plus eight in

21 before that one and it’s back up to 11 Dallas staying with his own defense but good offense by Jason Terry making the play and finding Dirk nitzki nitzki lays it in with the left hand plenty of contact there chers chased off now gets in the paint pass inside deflected and

Stolen by nitzki under four minutes remaining Mavericks lead by eight kid to Chandler Chandler brings it back out nitzki on the pullup puts it in 10-point game with 340 to play I don’t think they should be running the clock down though they’re not getting quality shots when

They’re doing that they’re out of their Rhythm right now offensively and to me I think that’s the way they should play novitzki puts it up puts it in Dirk nitzki makes it a 10-point game time out Miami struggling all night long but great players are just like death and

Taxes sooner or later they’re going to get you Dirk eight big points in the fourth quarter dwindle down the clock and then outstanding Unstoppable jump shot that thing is pretty and the boss man knows it the Dallas Maverick fans starting to celebrate Noy left hand raise it in and it’s

10392 and that should do it for the Dallas Mavericks the Mavericks celebrating on the bench and only fitting Mama there goes that man Dirk naisy sealing the deal the Dallas Mavericks bench realizing that the jewelry is theirs the Dallas Mavericks are NBA champions the first title in franchise history the emotions of Dirk
