Mavs did a bad job taking care of the ball with 14 turnovers. The Heat got 19 points off of the turnovers. Dirk has got to be stronger with the ball on the wing when the Heat are coming to double team. The other Mavs players need to cut to the basket instead of waiting on the other side of the court too. Otherwise those cross court passes get deflected or intercepted by the Heat and it's an easy two points the other way.Originally Posted by PMatic
Re-watching the game 2, I'll say as long as the Mavs take care of the ball, they should be right there with the Heat. Dirk missed 12 shots, but he easily could've made 6-7 of them. I would say to take Peja completely out of the rotation, but then the alternative would be Cardinal (sorry rck). Marion continuing to score 16+ points a game will be huge going forward since he has to play so many minutes to match up with LeBron.![]()
The Mavs didn't get enough from Marion and Barea tonight either. Terry went ghost in the fourth quarter as well. Peja was useless again, all but confirming he has no business in this series. Mavs need to give Stevenson more minutes as a result.
