Its a whiteout promotion, kinda designed to intimdate the other team and be a good home promotion.

Heres a summary\n\n\nDALLAS -- They had the start they wanted. They had the tempo they wanted. They even had an all-night look at the Dirk Nowitzki they dreamed of. \nThe Miami Heat had lots of what they wished for Thursday night in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. \n \n\nWhich is why they had to have serious regrets at night's end. \n\n"They looked awesome early on," Nowitzki said. "I thought they had everything going." \n\nNot everything, perhaps, but Miami had an undeniably precious opportunity to steal the series opener here, largely because Nowitzki had a serious nightmare. \n\nHe was admittedly nervous on the big stage. He was, in turn, passive. Nowitzki was also roughed up by the better-than-billed Miami defensive tandem of Udonis Haslem and James Posey, whose combined aggressiveness and physicality ushered Nowitzki to a stunning conclusion. \n\nZero points in the fourth quarter. \n\nOf course, with Miami outscoring Nowitzki by only 12 in that quarter, it cannot be recorded as a historic achievement for the Heat. \n\nIt goes down instead as a 90-80 defeat and a considerable missed opportunity, given that Nowitzki missed 10 of 14 shots and finished with just 16 points ... or 34 points shy of the 50 he had in his last game here. \n\n"We had the opportunity that we wanted," Haslem said. "We just didn't do what we were supposed to do." \n\nThe Heat had more than a mere opportunity. \n\nThey had the look of vets who had been here before, even though Shaquille O'Neal and Gary Payton were the only Miami rotation players with NBA Finals experience before this Game 1. \n\nThey had Nowitzki flummoxed and Josh Howard equally discombobulated, too. It was tough to tell, honestly, which of the hosts' two steadiest players looked shakier. ("If you would have told me that Josh and myself would go 7-for-28 [from the field] and we win this game," Nowitzki said, "I wouldn't have believed it.") \n\nThe Heat showed a worldwide audience a lot of the newfound unity and discipline that made them the best in the East, to the point that they even had O'Neal jumping out hard on pick-and-rolls to further discourage Dallas. \n\nThe problem? \n\nMiami's mistakes were fatal. \n\nOnly two Heaters got to the line all evening and one of them -- Shaq -- missed his first eight free throws. (Shaq missed his first 10, really, if you count the two misses waved off for lane violations). \n\nThe Heat also failed to build on an early 11-point lead when Heat coach Pat Riley's gamble to spare O'Neal from a third foul backfired. Riley sat O'Neal for the final two minutes of the second quarter, after Shaq's second foul, and Dallas capitalized with the final seven points of the half . . . helped along by Miami's six straight empty possessions. \n\nThose boosts were all Dallas needed, even with Nowitzki in a stunningly ineffective state given his new playoff standards. That's because their defense stiffened in the fourth, nudging Miami into its own funk from the perimeter. \n\nBut that's also because these Mavs don't fold easy, no matter what's happening with Nowitzki. As proven more than once in the seven-game epic against their longtime tormentors from San Antonio, Avery Johnson's Mavs can win these kinds of grinding playoff games. \n\nWhat kind? \n\n"Ugly and sloppy," Riley said. \n\nNowitzki, strangely, was at the forefront of it all. It was the last thing you expected, frankly, with Dwyane Wade in town to engage him in the definitive duel for unquestioned King of the Playoffs. The role in Nowitzki's struggles played by Haslem and Posey (and their double-team helpers) can't be discounted. Those two invalidated the considerable pregame skepticism about their ability to stay with Nowitzki and pushed right up on him. Nowitzki responded with passivity as opposed to rim-attacking aggression and even his few jumpers that dropped loo

It was all started by the old Winnipeg Jets (now the Buffalo Sabres), its a "White Out". Its to unify all of the fans so that the Heat know that all of the people in the stands wearing white are supporting them. Also, its somehow supposed to get the fans and the players pumped up, i dont know how that is though. If u ask me its pretty stupid, they look like morons, although its funny to see a person wearing something other than white, theyre very noticible. Well anyway, i dont think that its going to help in the long run. Go Pistons!

The refs, the NBA so called league officials and D. Wade( the only heat player that truly deseves credit for the title) were the only true reasons that the heat have the title in Miami.  It is no secret that the NBA League officials do not ever want to see Mark Cuban and the MAVS with a NBA title and will at any cost make sure that it does not happen.  I wish there was something that could be done about the unfair treatment of the MAVS and other teams in the NBA, but of course we are just the fans, and they are the ones in control, and ultimatly decide the outcome of every FINALS.  This is not the first time this has happened and won't be the last, as long as these league OFFICIALS (CHOKE! CHOKE!) are deciding how things are done.

Là, je réponds après la victoire de Miami. Mais franchement jusqu'à la fin du match 5 j'aurais dit Dallas. Ils sont tellement bons en attaque et surtout en contre-attaque. Ils ont pleins de gars qui peuvent prendre des tirs extérieurs (Nowitzki, Howard, Terry, Stackhouse). Deux bons pivots pour gêner O'neal (Diop et Dampier) et aussi Devin Harris qui défend plutôt bien sur Wade.\n\nMaintenant je crois que c'est l'expérience et l'âge (O'Neal, Mourning, Payton, Walker) et surtout la grande force mentale de Wade qui a donné le titre au Heat.

Its a promotion by the Miami Heat for all fans who go there, I think its called "white hot" playoffs or something. Its to represent the home team jersey colors as a sign of support.

Ummm...Detroit is not going to win the series. \n\nThey wear white because the team has asked them to. There is a push for Miami to be the "White Hot Heat" this year so it is a way for the fans to get involved in supporting their team. Kind of cool, I think....

Im a die hard mavs fan, and i say it was a lack of class. The fans should have stayed and applauded the Heat for a well played series. They beat the best the mavs had to offer. In my book that demands respect. The heat, regardlees of affiliation, is the best team in the nba this year. They have the trophy.

These are the NBA finals. A Best of 7 series. The Heat deserve to be here as much as the Mavs do. Don't count the Heat out just yet. The first two games, the double and triple teams on Shaq worked so well because the other Heat players were not hitting their shots. Shaq was ineffective for that reason alone. Once they start hitting their shots effectively, and the Mavs decide to double and triple team Shaq, they will get burned from the outside. Shaq is due for a huge game. Look out for the Shaq attack tonight and the rest of the series. They don't call him the Big Aristotle for nothing. I call Heat in 7. And no, I am not a Heat fan by all means.

It was the most physical of this series (Heat vs. Mavs) but I've seen MUCH more physical games, and they usually involve the Detroit Pistons (hate 'em).  They're just plain dirty players.  Tonight it wasn't intentional roughness, not really.  By the way, it's FLAGRANT, not fragrant...lol (that was cute).

i loved D Wade until the 2006 Finals, in which Wade enjoyed the most blatent case of favortism I have seen in professional sports to date.  First off, he is an amazing player, I do not want to take that from him, but, it is pretty clear that celebrity appeal drives NBA stardom, after all he hangs with pop stars and was voted one of the world's 50 most beautiful people by a major magazinge, the NBA was drooling over this guy!!!  They will prop him up any way they can.  Look at Miami's last offensive possesions in games 5 and 6 and look no further!

Its just a thing the heat did. Il ive in miami so white hot heat thing was every where.  On the website in the stores and plus if your  a heat fan you know about sun shine.  its a   channel that covers all the heat games and a pre and after game show and they were always talking about white hot heat.  The fans just knew they had to wear white and you could buy them at the arena or anywhere you went.. it was a way to support the heat and let them know how much their fans love them and stuff like that... Its the heat and were WHITE HOT BABY!!! go HEAT!!
