Mavs will have problems matching up this big lineup the Heat pulled now without a PG.

However, that defense is not as good as it looks. There are plenty of cracks there, and I think Dallas' ball movement will cause them quite a lot of problems. They haven't seen anything like our offense in this postseason.

And before anyone says that Dallas hasn't seen a defense like the Heat's, I suggest you look at the numbers of OKC after the Perkins trade. They were playing spectacular defense and game 3 aside, Dallas has torn them apart when they have gone to attack mode.

this goes 6 or 7, Heat slightly favoured

OKC's defense is overrated. Ibaka is a great help defender but not a great 1 on 1 defender. Westbrook gambles too damn much, and Perkins just hasnt been the same since his surgery....

gonna be an even-matched series imho. heat have superior talents surely but it seems the mavs have better chemistry which equalizes it well. there ain't tactical secret in the finals imo, both teams have played 3 playoff rounds before making the finals, it all comes down to the coach's ability of reading/realizing your opponents tactics imho. although RC > dat phillibeaner it wont make a big difference imo. after all it'll be all determined by stern again imho, the league is rigged

ratings should be solid. would be amazing if cuban handt lose his voice... wait? he can speak so why is he quiet?

Depends on how the Mavs rebound. Dallas will perform much better offensively than Chicago, but Miami also won't piss away 15 point leads.

Mavs are going to have to go 2004 Pistons mode on the Heat to have a chance. Teamwork, tough defense and determination can overcome the Heat. But it damn sure won't be easy.

Would it kill any team more than the Mavs to lose to the Heat? All the residual anger from 06 and the posts from Mav fans in this forum, feels like there might be a mass suicide if the unthinkable happens again.

Well the anger is that to this day we feel the Mavs were a better team, and that difference between those teams was covered up by the officiating.

I can safely say that these Mavs are not superior to the '11 Heat. So there would be no bitter feeling at all.

[ChrisRichards]

Soon to be

Wade-2
Tired and old shit bag Dirk-0

[stretch]

If the Mavs can just keep games close down to the late moments of games, they will win them more often than not. The Heat sucks ass at closing close games in general, while the Mavs are the best in the league at closing close games. The only way the Heat out-closes the Mavs is if either they are on fire with their jumper (not likely), or if the Mavs turn it over a shitload of times (also not likely).

IMO the Heat are going to have to consistently blow out the Mavs to win this series. If the games are close, that definitely favors the Mavs.

[ChrisRichards]

Wait. how does this favor the Mavs in close games when Miami has two of the best closers in the game :lol

[stretch]

In top end talent, the Heat are superior, sure. I still have yet to believe they are a better basketball team though. It's arguable that every team the Mavs have played so far in the playoffs are more talented overall than the Mavs, but weren't as good as the Mavs in combining their efforts as a team.

I would be extremely disappointed if the Mavs lose a series of close games to the Heat. If they get the shit kicked out of them though, I can live with that.

Stretch, gettin' his dislike for "close" on.

Ya weak shit, you.

[Killakobe81]

This series despite Wade, Bosh and Mavs overall superior depth ...comes down to Lebron vs. Dirk. Whichever superstar puts his stamp onteh series, will win. Lebron with his transcendant all around play or Dirk with impeccable mid post and shot making game.

I think this could be the best Finals in recent memory because at times though packed with drama, last year's got ugly at times. From a skill level standpoint this finals SHOULD be top notch. Both Dirk and Lebron are at their peak (though the scary thing is Lebron could be even better) we really have not had a Finals where BOTH superstars of both teams were at their peak ... since maybe Kidd vs. duncan ... (though i could be wrong)

[stretch]

Wait. how does this favor the Mavs in close games when Miami has two of the best closers in the game :lol

1. neither are as good of closers as Dirk

2. they run some of the shittiest offensive sets ive ever seen for good closers. make no mistake, the Mavs wont be making the awful mistakes in close games like the Bulls have on offense, while playing much smarter on defense, and making them pay for trying to go iso on every possession, by forcing them to shoot tough jumpers, an aspect of their game that is not very consistent.

when you look at the fact that they have Bron, Wade, and Bosh, they seem scary. Then when you look at Joel Anthony, Mario Chalmers, and Mike Bibby surrounding them, they suddenly don't look so tough.

The Heat havent had to face a team with the shooters and passers like the Mavs have. Miami's defenders like to wander and help out... too much. And if they try that a bunch against the Mavs, they will be fucked. Either Barea will have a monster series, or the shooters will kick their ass.

The only thing that concerns me a bit about the Mavs, is that they are really going to need Stevenson to hit his shots, or Brewer to step up big, because Stevenson, Brewer, or Marion will need to be on the court pretty much at all times, so they always have at least one guy to try to hassle Bron/Wade.

I disagree.

Lebron and Dirk will put their stamp in this series regardless, so that's a given.


Dallas would need Terry to continue his hot streak and the Heat would need to utilize Bosh the same way against Dallas. Those two are the biggest x factor.


But i'm supremely confident in this series because no one in Dallas can offset Wade's production and impact.

[badfish22]

If the Mavs somehow pull this series out, I can probably safely say it will be the best sports moment of my life.

Fuck it. Mavs in 6.

[picc84]

If they lose on a Wade free throw, will it be the worst?

[badfish22]

It would be hard to beat 06, especially since Im going in to this series with less confidence of a win than I did in 06.

1. Dirk is on another level this year. Lebron and Wade have both been lively in clutch situations this postseason. 2>1

2. Agree with the fact that the Heat havent faced a team that can shoot the lights out like Dallas. The Heat have been very impressive against Chicago because well, they only need to shut down Derrick Rose and the whole Bulls offense goes down the drain.

This series is going to show if sheer talent alone can win an NBA Title or if a much structured team like Dallas will come on top, so we'll see.

Dallas bench/role players most definitely can offset that, in addition to the fact that the Heat role players won't be pitching in much at all. Bron and Wade are going to have to do everything, and I don't see that working against a team as smart, deep, and well-coached as the Mavs.

Dirk will go nuts but Miami's D will shut everyone else down. On the other side LeBron, Wade and Bosh will score. All three capable of having a big game any given night, not the same Miami team that struggled offensively...

The Heat hasnt really faced teams as tough as Dallas has faced. IMO, Boston and especially Chicago were super overrated to begin with. I thought the Heat would beat the shit out of both teams, even though a lot of people thought they would lose.

History has always favored well structured teams with good teamwork, as opposed to supertalented teams that are not balanced and have chemistry problems at times.

I feel pretty good about this series.

If Miller and Haslem keep playing like they have against the Bulls, Miami bench is the last of their worries. The problem against Dallas is Dirk right now looks unstoppable and Miami has no answer for himPERIOD...

I'll accept defeat in this series if it's LeBron/Wade/Bosh doing the winning. I will be really disappointed in the Mavericks if they pull another 06 and let Haslem/Chalmers/Jones/Miller kill them. Everyone thinks Wade won the 06 Finals. He didn't. It was the Mavericks constantly giving Haslem wide open 15 footers. It was the Mavericks letting old ass Gary Payton own them. And fucking Antoine Walker....

Lose because the Big 3 were too good to be beaten? Fine. Lose because you let Haslem and Chalmers beat your ass? No way Jose.

this pretty much says it all.

how many stupid things had to happen last night for the Heat to win? and not just last night, but in pretty much every close playoff game they have won? a couple times Bron had really nice closes to games, but it was most definitely coupled with the opposing team doing really stupid shit too.

lol at your avatar. it would be interesting to see how Stevenson reacts to the chance to beat Lebron in the Finals. hopefully he steps his game up and shoots lights out from 3, and stops trying to do too much.

[Killakobe81]

I love how some people say that two best players will "cancel each other out", when does that happen? The best recent example off the top of my head is Lebron vs. pierce in the 2008 ECF Game 7 ...but almost in every series whether one player has more help or not, the star that shines brightest usually wins the series.

True, but how many stupid things had to happen the other night for Dallas to win as well? Harden fouled out, the Thunder chucked up 25-35 foot jumpers, Westbrook turned the ball over. That combined with Dirk taking over cost the Thunder the game. It's like Kenny said last night, if OKC would've just held the ball each possession for the full 24 seconds and gotten up a decent shot each time, they probably would've won that game. Their lack of an offensive gameplan, lack of coaching, and lack of leadership killed them down the stretch....

1. What does that have to do with anything? Dirk has been a great closer all postseason, and the Mavs have had perhaps the strongest closing defense of any team in the postseason, despite what happened Monday night.

2. We are talking about the Heat. They have not been a very good team at closing games, and generally have to either be shooting jumpshots lights out (which doesnt happen frequently), or hope the other team out-chokes them to win close games.

3. lol butthurt spurfan bringing up Monday night as a reason to justify the Heat's inability to finish close games not being a weakness against the Mavs who are the best at finishing close games

[Kyle Orton]

Anyone saying it'll be a lopsided series on either side is retarded IMO. the x-factor is Chris Bosh. If he keeps playing the way he's playing, no team can beat Miami.

[stretch]

Heat are the only team that have 2 top 5 players in the league. Last time this happened it was the 3peat lakers.

stupid reasoning. typcial of a pudgy beaner like yourself.

difference between that team, and this Heat, is that the Lakers were well balanced. their two superstars were great in completely different aspects of the game, and had a supporting cast of guys who consistently gave them help when needed.

The Heat have a duo that is actually more talented than the Shaq/Kobe duo, but they do nearly the exact same things on the court, do not balance each other out very well, and they have an unbalanced supporting cast that blows ass.

Dallas has not seen a defense anywhere close to MIA's. People keep focusing on MIA's offense, but it's MIA's defense that has won them games. Mav fan keeps knocking down what MIA has done (meaning who they faced to get to the finals), but regardless of if you think BOS/CHI is overrated, one thing about those two teams that was not overrated was their defense. They faced two of the top 4 defenses and won. Dallas had a brutal road to the finals as well, but clinging to the fact MIA had it "easier" is silly and pointless IMO.

So while MIA has not faced a team with the Mavs offense, DAL has not faced a MIA defense. The question I ask is can Dallas's style of play (great jump shooting, no penetration or slashers/finishers, lack of one-on-one creators, very good perimeter ball movement...) beat a top flight perimeter defensive team? Can Dallas also find a way to shut down Lebron/Wade and to a lesser extent Bosh? Despite the bench argument (which everyone has used in every series involving MIA), MIA keeps winning.

[Bill_Brasky]

Mavfan is saying the exact same things in this thread that Celticfan and Bullfan were saying before they played Miami. How did those series turn out?

[DPG21920]

Also, the one thing that truly hurts MIA and is their biggest Achilles' heel is teams with inside post play. MIA's interior defense is based around a team effort, but they are vulnerable there more than anywhere. Dallas does not possess anyone that can play inside (on their own, meaning you dump them the ball down low like a Duncan and let them go to work). That is a big problem for Dallas in this series IMO and has been why MIA has been able to advance this playoff.

Now, Dirk can operate anywhere he wants, and he presents a mis-match unlike any other, but that is not quite the same.

+1
I don't know why anyone keeps bringing up bench when Bosh, LeBron and Wade are playing 40 mins plus. With Miller and Haslem now contributing off the bench, bench production is the last of the Heat's worries, Dirk is. Good thing for the Heat is Dallas bench is weak defensively but either way this the finals and bench won't be the deciding factor...

[DPG21920]

If the Mavs somehow pull this series out, I can probably safely say it will be the best sports moment of my life.

I agree insofar that Haslem's value might be overrated, but his performance against the Bulls (particularly Game 2) was a huge catalyst for the Heat in that series. They were down 0-1 and looking listless in the 3rd quarter of Game 2 as the Bulls were gaining momentum. He's not going to decide this series by any means, but he's still a vital part of that team imho.

[Ace]

So, to be fair, back off on touting Haslem as some huge key to this series if he doesn't have a recent, reputable body of work to represent how he might factor into this series.

He will have as much to do with this series as the Mavs bench. Neither being any kind of deciding factor. You're in for disappointment if you think the bench will win it for the Mavs.

[TheInternets]

I'm curious as to who the Mavs think they'll get production out of consistently in this series aside from Dirk.

Do you Mavs fans really think that JJ fucking Barea is going to go off on a top 3 defense in the NBA?

Dirk is going to average ~35 in this series. But aside from him, I don't see anyone on Dallas that can readily score.

Terry and Peja are going to struggle getting shots off against the length of Miami, who are roughly 150x better at closing the distance to perimeter shooters. Those open 3s that fell against LA and OKC simply won't exist against Miami, the shots just won't be there in the first place.

Who's going to get penetration into the lane against Miami? Kidd? Terry? Stevenson? I don't see any of them giving Miami trouble on the offensive end. Dirk is a nightmare, I just don't see a lot of dependable options on the Mavs against a defense that's truly playing at an elite level. Maybe Tyson goes off for a career series?

Not even saying the Heat are clearly a better team... I just think they matchup really well with Dallas, and matchups usually decide the series. Miami simply has more mismatches vs. the one big German matchup problem.

[Banzai]

Who is your master?^^

[Shank]

lol at thinking the Mavs have ever relied on penetration into the lane

[Cry Havoc]

So the goal of the Mavericks is to shoot as many jumpers as possible?

[Shank]

So the goal of the Mavericks is to shoot as many jumpers as possible?

To this point, it's taken out quite a few teams. It's an anomaly, yes, but it's a system that's worked for them. Aside from Barerererererra and French Jesus, there's no one that can penetrate any time they'd want.

[stretch]

goodness, some people see the word "jumpshot" and instantly think thats a bad thing, which is bullshit (something we expect on a regular basis from a dumbshit like Cry Havoc)

the Mavs arent your typical "jumpshooting" team. most jumpshooting teams, take lots of bad shots, have a fast paced offense that isnt very good in halfcourt sets, etc... The Mavs aren't any of that. They rely on smart ball-movement, strong picks, and crisp passes to get very open, higher percentage jumpers.

The whole notion "you cant win with jumpshots in the playoffs! :madrun" is crap. The ability to hit jumpshots is every bit as important as scoring through penetration/slashing/post play, usually referred to as "paint points", although I think the term "easy buckets" is more applicable, because easy buckets dont always come in the paint.

Name one team in NBA history that won a championship without several proficient jumpshooters. Basically every champion had at least 3-4 really good jumpshooters, along with players who could score easy buckets. Balance is the key, and the Mavs all year have been perhaps the most balanced offensive team in the league, along with Boston and the Lakers. Dirk can score anywhere he wants. Honestly, Barea can get a good shot off at any spot on the court as well, as long as hes not trying to do too much. Marion and Chandler mostly get "easy buckets" off of mismatches, offensive putbacks, or good ball-movement, and arent guys that a defender can wander off of, like Dampier was. The Mavs have a floor general in Kidd who helps the entire team get easy buckets. Then there are shooters in Peja, and Terry (Dirk, Barea, and Kidd are all very good shooters too).

They arent a typical team in terms of being able to penetrate, but their extremely high collective IQ, great ball-movement, and most of all, Dirk, is more than capable of overcoming that weakness, to a point that it rarely hurts the team when they are actually playing motivated, like they have all postseason.

word!

That especially applies to Dirk. One of the reasons people say you need a low post player to win a championship is because someone needs to get easy baskets. But when they think Dirk, they say "jumpshooter"", i.e no easy baskets. But when you look at Dirk's ridiculous efficiency and shooting percentage, is there anyone out there who is better at getting "easy baskets"?

[LkrFan]

Game 1 is a must win for the Mavs.

[djohn2oo8]

Game 1 is a must win for the Mavs.

Why? They split the series and have 3 at home. Not really a must win

[GuerillaBlack]

Why? They split the series and have 3 at home. Not really a must win

They can't chance going down 0-2 tbh. Winning tonight would eliminate that chance. Then they have to play hard and win at home three straight times, which won't happen and Miami will win this series in 6.

[stretch]

But when they think Dirk, they say "jumpshooter"", i.e no easy baskets. But when you look at Dirk's ridiculous efficiency and shooting percentage, is there anyone out there who is better at getting "easy baskets"?

Lack of consistent jumpshooting is perhaps the #1 reason why the Celtics, Bulls, Lakers, and Thunder all got beat by the Mavs and Heat. They were all teams that are known for scoring tons of "paint points" and/or have low post scorers, but without good floor spacing by means of deadly shooters, their great paint scorers ended up being pretty useless.

Looking at the Mavs, any time a team started focusing on preventing Dirk, Barea, Chandler, or Marion from getting easy buckets, they would get their ass busted from 3 by Terry, Peja, and Kidd. When they would try to take Peja, Terry, and Kidd out of the game by preventing them from getting open 3s, Dirk would score at will, Marion would get easy buckets, and Chandler would get non-stop alley-oops and put-backs. It's what makes the Mavs offense so tough to stop. But they key for this to work, is that their shooters are showing up and making the other team pay. If they keep shooting well, there is no reason the Mavs shouldn't beat the Heat, as the Heat are probably the least well equipped team that the Mavs have faced at trying to contain the Mavs front-line of Marion, Dirk, and Chandler.

[stretch]

However, this is a series where finally, having Marion in the starting lineup as opposed to Butler may really hurt the Mavs. Butlers shooting ability forced Lebron to defend honestly, instead of running around freely and making defensive plays. Marion's lack of a shot is going to force the Mavs to find a way to make Lebron pay if he leaves Marion running free, which might be tough. It's hard to know what to expect from Marion when facing Lebron on defense. But I trust Carlisle will find an answer, as he has done all postseason when a team found a way to exploit the Mavs.

[DPG21920]

I agree with Stretch about that. People (myself included) pick against the Mavs because not only is their superstar unconventional, but so is their style of play. Because of that, you undervalue how good they are at what they do this year.

Mavs are a jump shooting team, but they don't settle for jump shots off of isolation plays. They move the ball very well around the perimeter and get very good looks. They have great shooters and for them, it is a high percentage shot most of the time.

I don't think they will beat the Heat, but they are not the "it's bad to settle for jumpers" team like Stretch alluded to.

[HeatChamps]

Who on the Mavs team is going to guard Wade and James? It's a field day for the Heat.
