NBA Finals - Game 1: Heat vs Mavericks
Bad news for Mav's fans...Dirk has a torn finger tendon...at least it is on his non-preferres shooting hand.
Dirk Nowitzki has torn finger tendon
Nowitzki suffered the injury when he was called for a foul after stripping Miami's Chris Bosh with 3:44 remaining in the fourth quarter.


One could argue Nowitzki was #1 but he had very little support apart from Marion. But as he was in the losing team you would be confident of nominating as James was #1 and a raffle between Wade and Nowitzki at #2 & #3...


Dallas went just 25/67 from the field for the game. Their bench went a paltry 4/22 from the field and did not make a shot in the second half.
Dallas have arguably the best scoring bench in the league this past season...surely they will not be that bad again in game 2?

Big game 1 win to Miami who finished all over the top of Dallas who led for most of the first half, eventually winning 92-84.
The big three for Miami led the way:
James: 24pts, 9reb, 5ass
Wade: 22pts, 10reb, 6ass
Bosh: 19pts, 9reb, 3ass
They had decent help from Chalmers who had 12 points.
For Dallas, Nowitzki had a game-high 27 points alongside 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Marion ended with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Terry was next best with 12 points on only 3/10 shooting.


With 1:36 to go, Miami still lead - 85-79.
Nowitzki has been very good and is not going down without a fight. He has a game-high 27 points to go with 7 rebounds.

I know by shear poulation we can't compete but imagine watching
any game in this place full.
The Dallas cowboys are building the ultimate.

Big triple on the 3-quarter time siren gives Miami a 65-61 lead and 19 points that includes a perfect 4/4 from downtown.
