I'm seriously loving how many people think that the Mavs will win the series now. You will all be quiet soon enough. Even though they ended up losing this game, game 2 convinced me that they are the better team than the Mavs even more than game 1, which they won. It's obvious that when they turn it up, they completely control the game against this team. The Mavs defense isn't worth its rep. But them refusing to turn it up because they have a huge lead is a different matter.
The problem is that the Heat got bored after Wade hit that three. After he hit that three, all the Heat players got in a "Okay, we won this game. We can't possibly lose it." mode, which was their undoing. Then came a sequence of unserious plays by the Heat on both ends of the floor: LeBron trying to finger roll it when he could've easily dunked it, Kidd getting the most wide open 3 of the series so far, etc. I'm telling you, they got bored.
This Heat team isn't bad in the clutch. They've proved it over and over and over again in the Boston and Chicago series.. And actually in game 1 of this series as well. But they are mentally weak when it comes to being overconfident while having big leads. There is a difference between the two. Spoelstra needs to motivate the Heat players better in time outs when they have a big lead slipping away from them. That is all. The series is still Miami's.
But I seriously can't believe Chris Bosh. Is you serial?
Shooting 4-16? The hell was that turnover when he dribbled off his foot out of bounds. He wasn't even being that pressured by the defender.
At least he made it up by not letting Tyson Chandler grab those offensive rebounds.
Carry on......
