NBA Finals 2011 Live. After 8 months of
anticipation, one of the most anticipated events in basketball is
here. The NBA Finals has come to deliver another exciting series to
fans everywhere. With their dominating playoff performances, the
Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat will face each other for the
most sought out championship.
The Dallas Mavericks, after five years, has once again reached the
NBA Finals. With a team lead by veterans, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason
Kidd, with a strong support from their younger team members will
try take Game 1 on Heat court. Having swept the previous champion
Los Angeles Lakers and dominated the Oklahoma City Thunder, they
will be a hard team to beat on any court.
The Miami Heat has just finished off top seed Chicago Bulls and
finals bet Boston Celtics for the Finals spot. With these recent
performances, Dallas shouldn’t take the Heat lightly especially on
their home court. The Heat still haven’t lost yet at home this
playoffs and will try to maintain that record. Lebron James, Dwyane
Wade and Chris Bosh have made great contributions these past games
and with this three in rhythm along with the whole team, the Heat
could be a big problem for the Mavs.
The Mavs and the Heat have met on the Finals of 2006 with the Heat
becoming the champions. This 2011 the Mavs and Heat will fight it
out again. Watch them start their rematch in the
NBA Finals 2011 live Game 1 on May 31, 9:00 pm
EDT.

Watch Mavericks vs Thunder Game 2 Live. Dirk
Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks performed well and took Game 1 of
the NBA Western Conference Finals away from the Oklahoma City
Thunder. Kevin Durant’s 40 points wasn’t enough and was
overshadowed by Nowitzki’s 48 points including 24/24 from the free
throw line. Tonight, we will witness these two teams collide again
to take Game 2 of this exciting best of seven series.
With their last game before going to the Thunder’s home court, the
Mavericks will try to protect their lead by securing Game 2 and
place the Thunder in a 2-0 hole. Veterans headed by Dirk Nowitzki
along with Jason Kidd and Jason Terry will lead the Mavs. It has
been a few years since the Mavs reached this far in the playoffs
and this is a great chance for them to get to the finals.
The Thunder really had a hard time guarding Nowitzki on Game 1 and
may need to try out more strategies to stop or slow him down.
Russel Westbrook also needs to hit more shots to help Durant in the
offensive end. Winning this game will give the Thunder a better
chance of winning the series as the next 2 games will be in their
favor.
Will Nowitzki become a beast again or will the Durantula make a
nasty bite this time? Witness this battle of youth and age,
watch Mavericks vs Thunder livetonight 9:00 PM

A lot of people expect that Shane Mosley will be defeated against
the defending WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao in their
scheduled 12-round title bout. The
Pacquiao vs Mosley live coverage fight is
scheduled on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Its been
noted that Mosley's a good counter-puncher. He'll use his left as a
decoy. What he wants to do is to land the right. I don't think
he'll box Pacquiao because he doesn't have the legs to fight from a
distance. He'll come on strong in the first four rounds, looking to
knock out Manny. Roach said Manny Pacquiao should be able to assume
total control after the fourth round. Not that Mosley will dominate
the first four rounds. I just think he'll try to pressure Manny
Pacquiao early.
Manny could take those early rounds, too. Manny should be careful
because Mosley has power. If there's a weakness in Pacquiao's
defense, it's his vulnerability to get hit by the right hand. Juan
Manuel Marquez showed that. Manny can get hit with the right lead
down the middle. That's what he should watch for in fighting
Mosley. I can see Manny throwing an overhand right over the top as
a counter to Mosley's left jab or left hook. Manny will go in and
out which means he'll use a lot of footwork. When Manny steps in,
he'll land the left hook. Shane Mosley's got power and some
hand-speed so we won't rush things. The only thing I worried about
Mosley is his stamina. One thing is Mosley has some difficulty
fighting southpaws.
Shane Mosley, 39, is coming off a split 12-round draw with Sergio
Mora in a fight where he had to win the last two stanzas to avoid a
loss. That Mosley was able to mount a late assault is a credit to
his durability despite his age. Richardson, dismissing notions that
age will be a handicap against Pacquiao. The
Mosley vs Pacquiao live coverage fight is
expected to be very entertaining the in the early rounds of the
fight. Mosley always has the reputation to be exciting in the early
to middle rounds of his fights in recent years. He's in shape and
he stays in the gym so he should be able to respond pretty quickly.
No one can predict the outcome of any boxing match as favorites
have been known to bite the dust. Fans in both their respective
countries will be cheering for their local hero. So don't miss to
watch Pacquiao vs Mosley live on Showtime PPV on May 7, 2011.

He is right on the bubble. If, and only if he defeats Mayweather,
will Shane Mosley be considered great. Of course, that is my humble
opinion. Then, if he fights and defeats Manny Pacquiao, which isn't
out of the realm of possibility, he will undoubtedly be universally
recognized as great. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Let's look at his history. He has beaten Oscar De La Hoya twice,
Fernando Vargas twice, Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio Margarito, Luis
Collazo, and a solid Phillip Holiday at lightweight. Not too
mention the whole lightweight division when he reigned in that
division over ten years ago.
To play devil's advocate, many people thought he lost the rematch
against De La Hoya, this writer included. Also, his two wins over
Vargas were a bit underwhelming due to the fact that Vargas was
considered a relatively shot fighter by the time of the Mosley
fights. Furthermore, it was reported that Mosley tested positive
for performance enhancing drugs(PED's) following the 2003 rematch
against De La Hoya. Although Mosley claims he ingested or took
these PED's unknowingly, it sure hasn't helped his legacy as a
great fighter.
Shane has lost twice to Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright. He comes
to fight, and he comes to win. He is not afraid of taking a punch,
and he is fan friendly. Shane is accustomed to the big stage, and
he is a very experienced and veteran fighter. He has power and
speed, and the uncompromising will to win.
He is the opposite of a beer drinking, weight gaining Ricky Hatton.
Shane doesn't slack between fights. He has never been knocked out
and has never taken any beatings.
He has only been down once against Vernon Forrest in their first
fight. I don't think the sixteen month layoff prior to the bout
will be an issue. Mosley always stays sharp. As a matter of fact,
the layoff should help him in an odd way due to his advanced
age.
In the wake of the March 13th fight between Manny Pacquiao versus
Joshua Clottey bout at Cowboys Stadium, boxing fans are in need of
a 'great' fight. Pacquiao did his job by beating Clottey, now
Mosley can step into a super fight if he beats Mayweather. Most
fans and writers, including myself, see this as a great match
up.
Pacquiao came to fight and displayed his great hand speed,
resilience, stamina, and the will of a champion. On the grand stage
in Jerry Jones' wonderful state of the art stadium, Clottey failed
to make a real effort to take the fight to Pacquiao. In the end,
Pacquiao won every round on two of the three judges scorecards in
an rather easy victory of the defensive minded Clottey. So what
does all this mean? Pacquiao is considered the world's best. If
Mosley can beat Mayweather, and then face and beat Pacquiao, Mosley
will cement his legacy.
If Mosley can beat Mayweather, it will be a great feat all by
itself. If he wins decisively, it will set him up for an historic
bout between he and Manny Pacquiao. Mosley will be on the threshold
of greatness. Manny Pacquiao will be taking on Antonio Margarito on
November 13th, 2010.
