The only two times the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat have been to the finals, they have played each other. Dallas has had a regular season dominance over Miami that lasted through the Shaq era and continued during the first season of the "Big Three." Miami had the edge in this series, but a hip injury to Dwyane Wade sidetracked them in game five.

Dirk Nowitzki led a comeback against the Heat in Dallas in game four with a fever. Throughout the game, Nowitzki coughed, as he was indeed very sick. Entering into game five, Wade coughed and it was caught on camera. With the camera in his face, Dwyane Wade used this to his advantage and continued coughing. With everything he has gone through, Nowitzki was not pleased.

The Dallas Maverick called Dwyane Wade and LeBron James ignorant and immature for making fun of his illness. Angrily, Dwyane Wade hit back at Nowitzki for his insults, saying he is not the only person who can get sick and cough. Wade said he was coughing and it was real, but as soon as he coughed, the camera was right there in his face. LeBron James refused to respond to the comments, but Wade did the talking for the team. Despite being down 3-2 in their best-of-seven series, the "Big Three" is confident they will win tonight and in game seven, securing another NBA title.

Jason Terry, of the Dallas Mavericks, said for them to just bring it on the court.
