Is this a great series or what?
The Dallas Mavericks just continue to refuse to lose when they need a win. They have tied the championship series at two wins each, making the run to the 2011 title a simple two out of three match. Last night’s hero was (again) Dirk Nowitski, who again hit the winning basket again for the Mavs. This time he did it with 100+ degree fever, not the Madonna type. This time he had the help he needed as coach Rick Carlisle pushed the right buttons starting J.J. Berea in place of former Wiz Stevenson for quicks. It also seemed to inspire Stevenson who scored eleven points. The Jet (Jason Terry) was also flying high with 17 points in 35 big minutes. The bench was the difference again, outscoring the Heat’s bench 28-15.
On the Heat side, DWade (my boy) again did his Jordan impersonation with 32 points. Chris Bosh continued to have a strong series with 24 points and six rebounds. The big missing link this time was Prince James, who had his worst playoff game ever with just eight points on 3-11 shooting. The big question for game five is his desire to have a monster game possibly coming into conflict with the team chemistry.
The magic word for game five will be desire. As one commentator said, “It doesn’t get any better than this".
I watched my customary last 4-5 minutes of the fourth quarter (as always for an NBA game). Is there any reason for Dallas to not just run the high pick with Terry and Dirk all game ...
ReplyDeleteSeems simple no... and then on Dee just play zone to stop the slasher -D Wade....and trap Wade on the high pick
Dallas should win but for some reason Dirk passes the ball after the 2:30 mark of the fourth quarter...Why? Just keep the ball and keep shooting...what they don't hog the ball in Germany...?
I believe Miami has not lost back to back ; the big game five is next.....
