Yes he should and Damon Jones should have been traded out of the league.  He stinks.

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

im a hardcore pistons fan and anyone who cant see that theyre the best is blind but i definitely understand why they hate on us. we may have the worst free throw shooter to ever play in the NBA, but only pat riley is coward enough to hack-a-ben. and if anyone says the pistons cant score, DANG they're wrong... halfway into the season we averaged 106 ppg, we just cooled down a little.

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!

that is a hard question to answer so telling you now wouldn't really be worth it. Heats, Spurs, Pistons one of the Three will carry home the glory. But i want Heats to win and they can if they get their team in prefect sync. cause thats an all star team you looking at

I used to like the Lakers when Shaq was there because he and Kobe made a dynamic pair.  But since Shaq was traded to the Miami Heat, guess what, I'm a Miami Heat fan.  Since the trade, Kobe has become very arrogant towards everybody especially when he was interviewed regarding the incident with Ball in the Phoenix Suns.  Kobe was calling him a kid and said and I quote, "Maybe he didn't get hugs as a child", unquote.  He must remember, the "kid" is older than he is.  Grow up Kobe!

Wondering if anyone still wants to buy a Little Penny t-shirt like back in the day.\n\nRemembering what it was like to be Shaq's little buddy like D-Wade is now.\n\nDreaming about still having a career

I don't think that people saw us coming, a LOT of people and even Miami so-called Heat fans didn't believe we would do it. As in the past, we've had the right players and the drive but it just never came together. We finally proved to be a great team, with a great coach and great drive to GIT 'ER DUUUUNN!!!\n\nI'm pretty sure that the Mavs and their fans honestly thought we were going to game 7, so at seeing the Heat win, they were twice as disappointed because in the fashion that they lost it proved the Heat a better team. And they just couldn't handle it.\n\nSore loosers is all they are...\n\nCan you feel the HEAT??

Well I am a Mavericks fan so lets look realisticly at what might happen....The Heat have Shaq killer center whos gettign a little age on him not a fast guy but he can block some shots and rebound...Can the old man keep up with one of the NBA's fastest teams? Will Dampier and  Diop be able to keep the man under semi control? well I say that the old man will be ok...but still defensively gonna wear himself out....Now that Wade fella he's  really talented but Dallas has already discovered that Howard can completely shut down Nash...so I'm sure he can do reasonably well against Wade...If not Dallas has so much depth at gaurd that they can easily wear him down...Dirk ....I said Dirk...Who on Miami is going to even slow this man down? Josh Howard? who do you put on Josh Howard? can your team run and gun with the Mavericks? Do they have the depth to stay rested? can the big old man sink a free throw at the end of a close game...or at anytime during the game for that matter...Sorry Miami fans its been fun but its over.
