| NBA Notebook: Nowitzki and Terry purging the ghosts of 2006 |
Fri Jun 3 13:46:16 2011 EST |
| Toronto, Canada (Sports Network) - There are only two players left on the Dallas Mavericks from the team that went to the 2006 NBA Finals, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry. And in Game 1 of the 2011 Finals, the pair's lackluster performance quickly brought back memories of poor shooting nights, missed free throws and squandered opportunities that defined them five years ago. Thursday night's Game 2 was looking to be the exact same thing as the two veterans again struggled while Miami Heat stars Dw |

| as no celebration at all," James said. "I was excited that he hit a big shot and we went up 15." "When you blow a big lead you have to do two things wrong: not score and not stop the other team," Barkley said. "Let's take our hats off to the Dallas Mavericks. It's like LeBron [James] and Dwyane Wade were playing hero basketball." Carlisle will likely try to temper his team a bit by pointing out that the Heat have outplayed the Mavs thus far with the exception of some small stretches. But one thi |

| Angeles Lakers are also on the market and looking to move up the ladder from assistant to head coach. Possibly the most coveted assistant is currently still sitting on the bench, as Dwane Casey and his defense-first approach have helped the Dallas Mavericks reach the NBA Finals. With a number of qualified coaches on the market, Toronto will have no shortage of suitable candidates to choose from. As the NBA Draft approaches -- just three weeks away -- the Raptors will need to make a decision soo |

MIAMI (AP) - As if losing the opener of the NBA finals wasn't bad enough for the Dallas Mavericks, now they have to deal with an injured Dirk Nowitzki. It's only a torn tendon on the middle finger of his left hand, his non-shooting hand. And he can protect it with a splint. Still, after the way the Mavericks shot in the opener, anything else that might throw off their aim could be trouble. Dallas made a postseason-worst 37.3 percent of its shots on the way to a 92-84 loss to Miami in Ga |

The Heat won the championship back in 2006, roaring back from an 0-2 deficit to win four straight, becoming just the third team to win a title after losing the first two games in the NBA Finals.

The story goes like this: On the final night of the regular season, the Miami Heat were playing against the Toronto Raptors - and had an eye on the Dallas Mavericks. The Heat were already locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, but the game was far from meaningless in the sense that by winning, Miami would finish with the NBA's third-best record. So? Miami finished with 58 wins. Dallas |
