Wade/LeBron are 70% shooters. I still wouldn't call it luck. Maybe if they were 90% or so like Dirk.CaptKirby said:
Its not about hero shots... I dont get why you keep saying that. In the last few minutes of a game you want your best player with the ball its simple. When you need a basketball in the last few minutes of a game, it should be your best player with the ball. I dont get whats so hard to understand about that... Hero shots are Jason Terry chucking up 3's to try and cut that lead in game 1, thats not what im asking from Dirk...
It's just typical LeBron. Everyone was acting like he figured something out or he had the pressure taken off by having Wade and Bosh in the supporting cast. He shot his brains out in game 1 and they didn't win by much. I knew with a few minor adjustments the Mavs could come back and win game 2. Now all the pressure is on the Heat to prove they won't have any lingering effects from a devastating loss they could have won. Most of the role players for Dallas will start shooting better now since they are going back home. If the Heat can't steal home court advantage back right away, they are in trouble.
I was 6 minutes away =/
I know. It was a joke. You know my true stance on this. =p

Edit:
After praising how Shawn Marion is playing, LeBron James made one thing clear Saturday when asked how Marion is defending him: “I don’t feel like it’s one guy in this league that can stop me one-on-one. He’s the guy that’s guarding me, but there’s no one-on-one guy that can guard me.”

Unfortunately LeBron, someone is guarding you.
Edit edit: I don't like Ronny suddenly coming back. I don't expect him to have a good game.
That was a big win for the Heat, they needed to win one of these three games on the road and they did..
Suprised to see that Dirk didn't take the shot on the second to last play. He scored their last 12 points but then decided to pass to Marion. Nowitzki should have just continued what he was doing.
Although since the beginning of the 2-3-2 format, in a series tied 1-1, the team that has one game 3 has won the series 11 out of 11 times, I still wouldn't discount the Mavs. However, game 4 will no doubt be do or die for them.
Did anyone else notice how the Mavs seemed to be throwing balls away throughout the game? It seemed like the Heat wanted it more which I kinda thought was suprising.

Banned deucer.
goodbye basketball
if south beach wins a championship this year aaaaaaaaaaa
dammit why do the Mavs have to be stuck with a bunch of one-dimension jumpshooters.
Easier said than done.
Barea has met his match.
Barea has met his match.
Barea has also missed a lot of open looks in this series. The Heat are playing him well but there's no excuse to miss open layups in transition, and almost every 3-ball he's had a chance of shooting. I don't think he's "met his match", he's choking. He's still getting into the paint and getting shots almost at will, he is just lacking the execution he needs if they want to beat the Heat. The Mavs bench needs to play well or they will have no chance.
And I can't stand these flops. The NBA needs to do something about it this offseason, I like the idea some people have suggested about reviewing them after the game and issuing suspensions and/or heavy fines. It's worse than watching a soccer game.

There comes a time where we move from "He's just missing shots" to "The other team is keeping him out of the paint." He's been struggling for a while now. That's a trend in my eyes.jrrrrr said:
The big men of Miami are long an quick; in fact, quicker than any big men Barea has come against far. Almost every paint attempt he has, make or miss, is with contact. Every other thing he does is a long jumpshot (and he has not taken that many in the past playoff series so in other words, he's settling for where he's less effective).
Barea has been guarded fairly well.
They aren't open layups. He's finishing through contested hands and taking tons of contact. Getting to the paint doesn't necessarily mean the shot is going to be easy too.
And he's still taking more jumpshots than he usually does.
and a 21% shooting percentage doesn't just happen after 3 series of doing well. He's facing more mobile big men. That's really the only explanation here.
