Heat - Bulls square off in NBA Finals

Game 1 of the NBA Finals kicks off tonight at 9 Eastern. A rematch of the 2006 NBA Finals, the Miami Heat look to take another finals series against the surging Dallas Mavericks. Both teams have fought hard to get to here. Dallas’ road went through Lakerland and a young, energetic Oklahoma City Thunder to get to the finals. Miami had to defeat the “Big Three” of the Celtics, before taking on MVP Derrick Rose and the No. 1 seed Chicago Bulls. Mavericks forward and resident star Dirk Nowitzki is enjoying one of the best single player performances in NBA playoff history. While in Miami, LeBron James and 2006 Finals MVP Dwyane Wade are continuing to connect and have yet to lose a playoff game at home. The series starts in Miami and is a best-of-seven series, with a 2-3-2 playoff format. Only four players from the 2006 finals remain on the teams’ rosters, two from each team. Nowitzki is looking for his first ring, as is LeBron and Chris Bosh. This looks to be a great finals series. Get your tickets at DCNTickets –Your Seat is Waiting!

Bulls Head to South Beach Looking to Bounce Back

On Wednesday night the Miami Heat pulled even with the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals. The series is now tied one game apiece as it heads down to South Beach where Miami looks to defend its home floor. LeBron James led the way for the Heat, scoring 29 points, while Dwyane Wade added 24. After Game 2 LeBron said,

“The series has just started. … It's 1-1. We're excited that we were able to come here and get a win. But it's just started.”

Game 3 takes place Sunday at American Airlines Arena in Miami. Young, electrifying second-year player Taj Gibson played most of the fourth quarter over a struggling Carlos Boozer. Boozer has been the aim of many frustrated Bulls’ fans, as he hasn’t produced nearly the way he was paid or expected to. The Heat’s big men really stepped up and proved they could bang with the likes of Boozer, Gibson and Bulls’ starting center Joakim Noah. Game 3 looks to be exciting, and it will be interesting to see who will step up. To get your tickets, check out www.DCNTickets.com – Your Seat is Waiting!

Heat Look to Pull Even with Rose; Bulls.

Game 2 between the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls is tonight, and Derrick Rose and company are going to have to fend off the hungry attacks of Miami’s “Big Three.” After a dismal Game 1 from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, the Heat suffered in the second half against the stingy Bulls defense and relentless pressure on the glass from Bulls big men Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer. Chris Bosh and Joel Anthony will need to keep the Bulls big men off the glass if Miami is to take Game 2. Bosh said it best when discussing the Bulls’ clampdown on James and Wade:

“Dwyane and LeBron are going to create a lot of attention," Bosh said. "This is a good defensive team. ... They're going to make them distributors. We have to look at where we fell short as a team for Game 1 and come back with a better approach.”

Game 2 is tonight at 8:30 at the United Center in Chicago. Get your tickets at DCNTickets.com -Your seat is waiting!

Mayo both contributed offensively scoring 26 and 18 points respectively. Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, they shot a poor 36 percent from the field, while the Thunder shot nearly 10 percent better.

Miami Looks to Close Boston out in South Beach

Behind Lebron James’ 35 points, the Miami Heat have pushed the Boston Celtics to the brink of elimination. Miami’s “Big Three,” which consists of Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, scored 83 of Miami’s 98 points and pulled down 35 of Miami’s 45 total rebounds. Boston led most of the game and went into the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game with the lead. However, bad shot selection and turnovers gave way for the Heat to push the game into overtime where Miami’s stars shined brightest. Boston had four of their 18 turnovers in the short overtime quarter and also continued the poor shooting that had plagued them all of the fourth quarter. The Heat now lead the series 3-1, as both teams head to South Beach for a must-win game for the Celtics. Game 5 takes place tomorrow night.
