I have written up a little preview for the finals that I originally posted -> here To sum it up: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Keys to the Series Dallas - Rebounding and turnovers. Both teams are very good rebounding teams. Dallas has a NBA record-shattering 17 consecutive games of out-rebounding their opponents. The Heat are almost as good on the glass as Dallas. Miami - Miami needs to reduce their turnovers. They have had turnover issues all through the playoffs. The Mavericks capitalize on their opponent turnovers as well as anyone in the NBA and they did it against the Suns and Spurs. The Heat also need to shoot better from the free throw line. In the playoffs the Heat are 67% from the line, while the Mavericks are 81% from the line. In close games this could be a factor. </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Series Prediction Dallas in 6 ? I could see Miami and Dallas splitting in Dallas, and then have the Mavericks take two of three in Miami and winning in game six back in Dallas. I could also see the Mavericks winning the first two games, stealing one in Miami and finishing it out back in game six in Dallas. I think Dallas? depth, youth and offensive potential will be too hot for the Heat to handle.</div> Good luck fellow mavs die-hards!
All though Mavs owned the heat last night, Terry's not gonna have an amazing game like that this whole series. Dirk and Howard need to drain more shots. Seemed like Dirk wasnt taking a lot of OPEN shots. Like he would catch the ball and shoot, even if somone was right in his face, without doing his signature fade from the elbow. Something else i noticed was, when a dallas player drove to the basket (like Stackhouse) Shaq would slide over to double the penetrator. Leaving Diop WIDE open. He coulda had a career game, scoring wise, if they woulda dished it to them.
