Game 3 NBA Finals 2006 & Cricket News

Yesss, the Miami Heat have come back in the NBA finals against the Dallas Mavs in a spectacular fashion by one of my favorite players, Dwyane Wade, who got me interested in the NBA to begin with. He was incredible with 42 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and only 1 turnover all the while battling a knee injury from the third quarter. If Miami is to win this series (although the chances are bleak, but I am a believer and who doesn't like rooting for the underdog?) it will be all about Dwyane Wade. Dirk for the mavs is a great player, but he is also over 7 foot. You really gotta give Dwyane his props. Haslem is now officially one of my favorite players for Miami Heat. Gary Paton, regardless of his game-changing shot, is yet to make an impression on me as a senile player. Shaq might have made those clutch free throws, but he can't be off the hook that easily; he had 7 turnovers. He needs to play better, period. I say that because he says he wants a legacy, but legacies aren't written with the performances he is churning out at the moment.

Notable quote from D-Wade: "It's like I say, everything happens for a reason, but the reasons ain't always right."
I thought it was hillarious.

In other news, India is back to its game of defeating champions and losing to minions. After beating Sri Lanka, England, and Pakistan, they came out and found a way to lose to a young and inexperienced West Indies team in the ODI series 4-1. However, it must be noted that India was too playing and experimenting with young players making their debuts and whatnot. And it was comforting to know that 2-3 games that they lost were lost only in the final over and weren't blowouts. They are doing extremely well in the tests, but luck is working against them and the rain Gods are on the side of the home team so the test series still hasn't yielded a win for either team. Can't wait till the world cup in 2007.

Well. That's it for now. Go Heat! Hope D-Wade's knee gets back to 100%.
