The War of 18– Sorry I Mean 2011

For those of you who are like me and didn’t like American History or any type of history rather and snoozed during History class, you probably didn’t get the reference of my title. QUICK: The war of 1812 was the second war between the United States and the British Colonies. Some of you out there are still looking at me like.. WTH is he talking about. X_X. Let me remind you that it is a basketball blog, so keep in mind there should be a second battle of some sort going on here. Tick tock tick tock.. Finally you get it.

Now that we have all caught up, i want to ask the question. “WHO THE HELL ISNT EXCITED ABOUT THE FINALS”. But first, lets step into my little time machine.

I know, it’s really convenient. Well give me a second to press this button and change the date to 2006 during the NBA Finals and viola {Wierd electric and mechanical noises –> Flashing lights —> metaphorical vortex –> Another flashing light –> somehow falling on our butts and dry even though we used a hot tub time machines}

Thats all besides the point, lets get down to the nitty gritty and talk about the Miami revolution.. if you still don’t get the history reference.. just forget about it. Anyways, let’s start with game 1 &2 when the mavericks looked dominant. Now, the heat didn’t look like the team you would’ve picked to do any damage and that is how it looked for these two games. Also,  Dallas did beat the heats twice that season by an average 24.5 pts a game.

In Dallas’ home, at the American Airlines arena was where the first two games of a seven game series started. Although the heated started sizzling.. America’s team dominated the first two games. Little did they know, the heats had wade up their sleeves.

Now going back from our little trip from to the past {Get in hot tub –> lights, sounds, action, camera..vortex.. thud etc etc etc}

Both teams took their talents and revamped them. If my memory serves me right, both teams only have two members each from the ’06 matchup. Dallas with Dirk and Terry, while Miami has Wade and Haslem. Although Miami has a studded super-powered team, with some even saying they have the two best players in the NBA, Dallas has the better overall team from top to 12th. I wouldn’t to quick to jump in the bandwagon because the Heats Bench has come up with a few decent showings during the playoffs. Dallas beat miami twice again, but not as bad as the 06′.

If History repeats itself (meaning the Americans beat the British twice), Miami should once again come out victorious. But hey, we know our history not to repeat it, but to change it. WE COULD ONLY WAIT! Game 1 starts Tuesday at 9:00pm on ABC.. Dont miss it.
