I don't want to hear a damn thing about how much better the Heat supporting cast is now. Wade was better then, Bosh was better then, and LBJ was LBJ (we found a magic formula to stop him). I hope the Heat keep winning and the haters keep flaming.

Lebron couldn't make a jumper to save his life back then.

And yes the supporting cast is better.

But whatever keeps you delusional at night...

The legacy of missing the playoffs?

Yeah, it's continuing.

Rookies

Only team to beat Lebron+Wade. The legend grows with every Heat title

Mavs stay the only team to beat Lebron's Heat.

Maybe if Pop watched more tape from the 2011 NBA Finals, the spurs would've won.

When you have Lebron and Wade on the ropes in a game 6 close out game.....you go for the jugular.....then you celebrate on their home floor.

Props to Dirk, Jet and the rest of the Mavs for being the only team that has beaten the Heat in a 7 game series.

I know this is a total troll, but I'm okay with it.

Please stop

Any Rockets fan complaining about the Mavs dwelling on something from just 2 years ago is hilarious. God I hope we don't have to continue to cling to this 2011 title for the next 20 years, but for now it's awesome.

I watched 2011 youtube videos for a solid hour this afternoon. What Dirk did offensively that season was simply unreal. The ultimate triumph of a decade of mastering the high post. That's partly why I commented earlier it's kind of a shame that Lebron won this game by simply hitting open jumpers that the Spurs were giving him as a strategy. We didn't get to see Lebron's full arsenal. But whatever

14 minutes of Dirk 2011 playoffs offensive domination set to classical music that will drive you to tears of joy[/url]

No ****. They brag about their two titles and then when the Cowboys bring up their five titles vs. Houston's zero, it's "That was so long ago. Stop living in the 90s."

We didn't need 7 games to finish them.

And we beat the Big 3 in a series. Any other teams wanna chime in and say they've done the same?

Lol at mavs fans lotteryzzz

Be respectful. It is "Stop living in the EARLY 90s. Mid-90s and later is fair game."

I'm a Mavs fan and there is no is no doubt the supporting cast is way better for the Heat. Good grief, that argument is over the moment you say Ray Allen.

it's going to be a while before anyone beats the Heat in the postseason

Ray Allen was 137 years old when they played!

I asked frank sinatra how old ray allen is....he told me, "ray allen is 137 years old." 137 YEARS OLD!!!!

Dirk was unreal in 2011. UN. REAL. One of the best postseasons of all-time. And Carlisle made Spoelstra look plain silly.

I'm sure that's what everyone in the world was thinking last night after the Heat won "Man, that Mavs team was good"

Be happy with your place in history. You will be remembered like the 1990's and 2000's Pistons, an afterthought to the greatness the came before and after you.

the 80s Pistons aren't an afterthought. Your NBA history knowledge is lacking

2011 is the title that bridged the gap between the Duncan/Kobe era of 1999-2010 and the LeBron Era of 2012-

It is an outlier, like the 83 76ers.

yeah mavs didn't face a LeBron with a jumpshot. just contained him with zone.

Dirk did have one of the best post-seasons I've ever seen that year.

When people think late 80's early 90's they think Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Magic, Bird, MJ. Compared to those teams and players, the Pistons are an afterthought.

When people think of the 2000's, they think Lakers, Spurs, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan. The 2004 Pistons are an afterthought.

When people think of the late 2000's early 2010's in 20 years they will think of back to back champion Lakers the back to back champion Heat, Kobe, LeBron. The 2011 Mavs will be an afterthought.

Every post-merger title can be grouped in 5 simple categories:

Dynasty titles: 80s Celtics, 80s Lakers, 90s Bulls, 00s Lakers, 00s Spurs, 10s Heat* (*assumption of more to come)

Teams that were top 5 teams of their era and fought for many years before finally breaking through for a well-deserved title: 83 Sixers, 89-90 Pistons, 11 Mavericks

Teams that peaked early with a title but still hung on to relevancy for a few years: 94-95 Rockets*, 04 Pistons, 08 Celtics

Teams that peaked early and then went away quickly: 77 Blazers, 06 Heat

Teams that won titles during the confusing 2 years of free agent/trade/draft insanity in the late 70s: 78 Bullets, 79 Sonics

2011 Mavs. The legend grows.

Up by 5 points with 27 seconds left in Game 6.

Where do the 2013 Spurs rank in all time chokes with a championship on the line?

Reminded me a lot of Game 6 of the 2011 World Series between Rangers and Cardinals.

Lol@ Mav fans bragging about taking down the BIG Three. Nice playoff run this year..... oh wait

Facts make this guy angry.

Pay no mind to the mav fans...they see the mavs under Cuban.turning into the cowboys under jerry and it scares them so they cling to 2011...let's the poor mavs have there fun...its perhaps the last they'll have in quite a long time...

Miami insists that the series against San Antonio was the toughest they've ever been in. It seems fair to point out that they might have forgotten one.
