Miami Heat owner: Israel, pray for our victory Israeli who owns basketball teams on two continents says 'Miami is as much an Israeli team as Maccabi' Amir Bogen Raanan Katz, who partly owns both Maccabi Tel Aviv and the Miami Heat basketball teams, said that the Heat's upcoming duel against the Dallas Mavericks will be very tough." Speaking from his office, Katz told Ynet: "Dallas is a strong rival; a very dangerous group, and they got here by their own right. No one gave them any presents. The team has good players and it proved that when it beat San Antonio and Phoenix on the way. On the other hand, the feeling in our team is that we can do it and we showed that we can't be ignored when we played against Detroit." "God can always help; we need him on our side against Dallas," said Katz. "Every Israeli must support us; they must go the Western Wall and pray for us. Miami Heat is no less Israeli than Maccabi. This is also a group with Israeli ownership in which many Americans play." "The team has already set out for Dallas ahead of its first game in the series and I plan to join them today, because unlike what they think in Israel, I have work here in the company. In any case, I trust Pat Riley, who is doing an excellent job. He prepared the team in an extraordinary way and the feeling is positive, although this won't be easy," Katz added. Does this remind you of the final-four in Prague? "For some reason I take Maccabi's loss much more to heart. True, the NBA is the best league in the world, and to win the championship there is a dream come true, no doubt. But for me, Maccabi stands before everything. If you ask me what I prefer, a third European championship with Maccabi, or a first championship with Miami, I would choose a Maccabi win." Maccabi made history when they beat Toronto. Do you think it can stand up to Miami? "To be honest, with all respect for Maccabi, it doesn't have a chance against Miami. Maybe only in October, before the season, when the minds of the players are not really on basketball. It reminds me of the loss of the American team in the Olympics. I mean, give me a break. The players came to enjoy a summer vacation, to have a laugh, not to play basketball."

I'm for Dallas.
I'm for Dallas. I'm speechless

It will be Jew v. Jew, since Mark Cuban is also of the hebrew persuasion. Mazel tov.
Let me just warn you Dallas fans what the Baptists have been telling me for years (and that's why they mindlessly support all of the wars Israel orders the U.S. to fight for it): 'I will bless those who bless you and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed' Genesis 12 v1-3 I particularly admire the skill of that nice Jewish boy who plays center for the Heat. I think he is one of those Ethiopian Jews. His name used to be "Shamir Onir" before he Americanized it to make people think he's one of the "black Irish."
We all grew up with that one. Is demanding equality and justice to curse someone? Is exposing a nation's murderous false flag operations to curse that nation? Isn't that how friends keep each other in line? Accountability is not a curse.

http://www.nba.com /games/20060611/MIADAL/boxscore.html Dallas is up by 4 with 6 minutes left in 2'nd quarter. I think Dallas will win the series easily.
Sam, if I'd not read it here, I would have no more more clue who were chunking coconuts into the basket, than the man on the moon. I just wish that the msm would get the jew v. jew thing going on a bunch more. This is a discussion that needs to get out there. imo
well robin - you know as well as I do that the bible has verses in it that identify the 'nation of israel' as being those who believe in god rather than a particular ethnic group nation in a normal sense. The word 'israel' as used in the bible does have different meanings. It can mean the kingdom of heaven that god will build on earth. It can mean the community of people who believe in god. and it can mean a nation of Israel in the normal sense. we should not forget that there are verses in the bible such as revelation 2:9 saying openly that many jews are in rebellion to god and saying that many jews would associate with satan. we both know that from a logical point of view the pro-israel pastors don't have a leg to stand on as far as what the bible says, but it doesn't matter - they are emotionally committed to their interpretation and will not even consider that it could be wrong.
update on the game - Dallas is kicking but big-time. Miami is cooked. it is only game 2, but hand-writing is on the wall.
Dallas won by 99-85. now Dallas is up 2-0 in the 7 game series. Thing is dallas just out-classes Miami. Dallas has won two games easily now. there's no way Miami is going to win this series. Phoenix did better against dallas than Miami is doing. and San Antonio also.
I'm for Dallas. Geeeeez - I hope this is the Onion.
Just remember, we are the "kooks" in this updside down world. And I'm checking team ownership from now on, see if that helps me pick a team to cheer for.

Mene, mene, tekel, upharsim Daniel (Dallas) interpreted this to mean that the king’s (Miami's) deeds had been weighed and found deficient and that his kingdom would therefore be divided. We have a reverse fulfillment of prophecy. The team from Texas' Babylon is whipping up on Florida's Jerusalem.
