stretch.. care to elaborate on "Mavs in 5"
oops double post
DenailPG wont stick. You're trying too hard imvho
Miami has Lebron, Wade, then some shooters and guys who don't do much of anything. The Mavs zone defense will give them all kinds of , especially since they don't have any legit post scoring presences. Generally, zone can be eaten alive by good shooters, but this Mavs zone defense closes out on shooters extremely well for a zone defense, and even if they have to go to man for stretches, they have guys who can hold their own defensively in Marion and Stevenson.
Again, I think the differences will be that the Mavs have more answers for the Heat's Big 3, than the Heat will have for Dirk and the deep bench. Miami's defense will get mind ed by Kidd and the Mavs fantastic ball movement, and they have even less of a paint presence on both ends than the Lakers. Dirk and Terry want their revenge, and both will have a very good series, while I see Lebron struggling against the Mavs zone defense, and Wade having an up-and-down series. Don't be suprized if the most consistent player for the Heat is not one of the Big 3.
If Miami wants a chance, Bron and Wade will need to remain in the game for 44+ minutes a night. That doesn't bode well for Miami, considering they already are a team that has trouble closing games out, and they will be going against arguably the #1 team in terms of closing games in the NBA.
Dirk will win series MVP, but what definitely cant be overlooked will be the contributions of Chandler and Haywood, both of which I expect to have a good series, Chandler defensively, Haywood offensively.
These are all facts. Not homerism. Simple facts.
I promised my friend in Dallas I would finally root for Dirk and only Dirk to win it all. I know Terry will wind up with a ring too but at this point I think Dirk deserves a ring. So yes, I'm rooting Mavs.
stretch... good analysis... giving me confidence
what about Chicago?
It's Derrick Rose aaaaaaaannnnddd......... who else?
its a one man show. wont be able to outlast Dirk and co.
Mavs in 5.
Bet made before this final was set in stone. It was meant to be. just got real.
