Blown open...
Finally Wade has shown up, Miami needed him to perform like this badly, before the series I didn't think anyone could guard Wade on Dallas and after watching these last two games, I still don't think anyone on their team can guard him, he is great at getting to the rim, finishing in traffic, absorbing contact and getting to the line, and when his jumper is falling, he is just an absolute beast.
Dallas has had so many stupid, careless turnovers that are leading to big layups or dunks and pumping the crowd up. Give credit to the Heat defense, but alot of those turnovers were avoidable. Jason Kidd has had an awful night. As a Mavs' fan I am truly disappointed by their lack of play for a full game. Peja has proven that he will be a complete nonfactor for this series, which takes away some of the depth that Dallas used to their advantage in the western conference. And who knows if Haywood will be able to play the rest of the series.
Still don't see why the Mavs aren't trying the 2-3 zone more. I thought for the most part it has been effective with a few times where they didn't come up with the rebound.
Careless turnovers + missing wide open shots + crappy defense + Wade and LeBron hitting every 3pt they take = Heat in four.
That's crazy... The Heat literally had everything going their way and lost this game.
You have to give the Mavs credit though. They stopped turning the ball over, got some amazing stops and put the ball in the basket. It's like they all of the sudden found ways to get Dirk free and he knocked down shots. This isn't the same mentally weak Mavs team.
Two questions though... Why didn't Wade touch the ball? And IF LeBron is so great on defense, why wasn't he defending Dirk? Instead he was on Jason Terry.
C'mon. After Game 1, everyone says the Heat will win the series easily and now after Game 2 the Mavs are going to win it.
Every game is important for both teams at this point. Both teams need to desperately win. Dallas can't rely on these crazy comebacks all the time.
Dallas has more cleaning up they need to do. Way too many careless turnovers.

Tongue-Out-Like-23: "Miami has blown this game open and at this rate, we're going to have a 2-0 Miami series lead"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... wait till the game is actually over before opening your mouth.....
Go mavs
The Heat got too comfortable with their 15 point cushion and they ASSUMED Dallas wasn't going to go down without a fight, the Mavs have shown the ability to come back from large deficits in late game situations before in these playoffs, why did Miami think this time would be different? They became too complacent and if they want to beat Dallas they need to hold onto their leads and keep on the intensity throughout this series.
Wow, Tongue-Out-Like-23 you got like 50 thumbs down for this thread, I'll give you some thumbs up to get things back to normal^^
You weren't the only one who thought Miami took this game and the series with that. I was suprised the Mavs weren't down 10 points after the third quarter, watching the game I always had a feeling that Miami played way better. Mavs stayed close because they got to the line. Lets just hope we can protect home court.
Go Mavs!
Miami has blown this game open and at this rate, we're going to have a 2-0 Miami series lead. Wade is going HAM, Bosh with a nice putback dunk, LeBron is moving the ball very well and the Miami defense is committing so many turnovers.
