I think we can definitely expect James to step it up in game 5. However, Miami this season has rarely had all of their big three play well in the same game. I think either Wade or Bosh will have an off game in game 5. _________________

^^ Wade has played really well, so far the best player for either team. Mavs had a few others step up a tad but need Kidd to start producing, don't know if they can get away with him having another game of zero points and 3 assists, he usually doesn't score much but at least gets a bunch of assists and runs the offense smoothly, not doing it much in this series. _________________

Good offensive game for Dallas but they'll have to play much better defense than they did today. Miami had too many easy lay-ups and open three pointers. They can't rely on outscoring Miami with the weapons they have. _________________

Yeah, Miami had a lot of players cutting to the basket and Dallas was slow to react.
There was this one play, and they did a replay of it, with one of the Dallas players scoring on a key play, and you can see Lebron in the background, looking lost on the play and passion-less. With 2 final games left in Miami, its now or never. I thought Miami would just close it out from the start, i over estimated this team, and I really think Mavericks have been the tougher team. Team work versus talent, we'll see who wins out either on Sunday or Tuesday. The way Mavericks are playing, they are playing like they deserve it more, but I don't think they'll shoot a high percentage like in game#5, but it'll either be a Miami blowout, or a close one at the end. Who wants it more, and makes the key plays down the stretch. Either way, the extreme pressure is now on Lebron and the Heat to win it all or fail!

Lessons learned from this series, talent and cockiness does not equal championships, and when their cockiness got the better of them (like games 2 and 5), Dallas took advantage. Dallas was the best team from day 1 of the playoffs. Even when their star player, Nowitzki had an off night for the first three quarters, his teammates were there to back him up like Terry, Barea, Kidd, and Stevenson. This was a well deserved win for Dallas. In the mean time, I think I'm going to get drunk and celebrate Miami's defeat. _________________
Congrats to the Dirk, J. Terry and the rest of the Mavericks for winning their first deserving championship against the Heat, and for putting Lebron in his PLACE!
