Can someone explain why bosh was defending dirk at the end though? I think it would have been best if lebron guarded him but I guess in the end it really doesnt matter.. dirk's one of those guys that can make shots with two people on him sighh. And what do you guys think about the 2-3-2 setup for the games in determining where its played? I can't quite seem to figure out which team it favors. I feel like we've discussed this before in the past but i forget haha | ||

I gotta say, celebrating a Mavs win with 10,000 other people is just an incredible experience. | ||

Bosh actually does an ok job on Dirk, But yea like you said - doesn't matter. The guy is just a damn machine. The 2-3-2 setup is best for the road team. Just winning 1 game is a huge boon as with THREE home games in a row, the other team has to win TWO to feel safe. You going to their place up 3-2 for 2 games is monstrous. Look at Boston-LA last year where Kendrick Perkins injury aside, LA played a VERY HARD fought 2 games to win the chip on their own home court. | ||

Realistically, you can say that the home team will win 2 of the 3 in their house. That gives them a 3-2 advantage going back on the road. Elimination games are a whole different animal, regardless of home court advantage. | ||

Elimination games are a whole different animal, regardless of home court advantage. Watching ESPN, Stu Scott said an interesting statistic. Since 1985, when they implemented the 2-3-2, eleven times has the series started 1-1 and in all 11, the team to win the third game won the series. Just food for thought. Luckily for the Heat they haven't lost two in a row so far this playoff series, so they still have that going for them. Heat need to treat that Sunday game like an elimination game. I believe they will. | ||

Stojakovic chose not to show up again and the Mavs still managed to win, despite almost choking the game away with all those turnovers. Holy. WTB Dirk Nowitzki for Bulls, will trade 1 Carlos Boozer  | ||

They need a shotblocker more than a quality PG. Haslem is a decent enforcer, they need a retarded tall guy though, like Asik. | ||

Incredible comeback by the Mavs. Like I've said, this is going to be a great series, and I'm really looking forward to the rest of it. | ||

Sure, if you got an elite PG that would be great for your team, but Miami can't get a CP3 level PG without some real luck. Given that they aren't going to get an elite talent Chalmers is fine as a backup to give you an option to bring up the ball when needed. Miami should get a shooters, or someone who is great at defending the point so Lebron and Wade don't have to work hard defending Rose/Westbrook in the future. They need a shotblocker more than a quality PG. Haslem is a decent enforcer, they need a retarded tall guy though, like Asik. Well cLutZ you see the thing is the Heat need to get CP3 at a bargain price and then Pat Riley needs to use necromancy to bring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar back from the dead as an immortal robot scion of the Necrontyr and then the Heat have a finished roster // every time a Heat fan suggests that they need anything that isn't a 7 footer to protect the paint I cry a little inside. | ||

Except for that last burst in the 4th, Shawn Marion was the only one who was consistently making/creating quality shots. And kudos to him and shame on Lebron for letting that happen. Chandler was really battling for the boards, and the +10 offensive rebounds really hurt the Mavs game 1. Second, criticizing Dirk's defense isn't groundbreaking, but how many Dwayne Wade dunks off turnovers were passively watched by Dirk? Wade wasn't even making his free throws this game. Dirk only started scoring in the 4th when Miami inexplicably decided to stop bodying him up on his attempts (and the refs were allowing a ton of contact for both sides all game). The 3, the Mavs got a good pick on his defender to free up space for Dirk. The 2, well he got around Bosh. When that wasn't happening, his fallaway jumper was clanging more than it hit. The Miami offense, they had like 10 turnovers->fastbreak dunks, which pretty much explained the lead. When they didn't get the turnovers, and when Wade couldn't get to the line, their offense shriveled up. Miami's failure in the comeback wasn't its offense, it was its defense. | ||

And from watching highlights, I'd say that the Heats just kind of loosesned up after getting the 15 point lead (or 13? not too sure). They got comfortable because of their lead, and Dallas capitalized on it. Whatever it was, this is going to be one exciting season. | ||
