Let's be Honest the Mavericks Have No Chance

[Foster5k]

Both teams have closed out well this post season, but you can't say Maimi is better.

Um? Remember that game where a crippled Brandon Roy destroyed the Mavericks? The Mavericks had a 20+ point lead going into the 4th quarter. So, no they aren't as good as Miami in closing out games.

your last point is silly about not getting good shots against the Heat. The Dallas offesnive execution is the best in the league and Dirk will be raining in jumpers over everyone on the Heat. The Dallas offense is better than anything the Heat have faced.

Miami's team defense will not let that happen. Ray Allen another great shooter got shut down by the Heat's superior defense. Kyle Kover got shut down. Heat defense is just too good.

The Mavs are an experienced team compared to the Heat. The Heat are more athletic as you say, but so are the Thunder, but the Mavs found ways to slow them down in transition especially.

Thunder didn't have Lebron James, Dwade, and Bosh on the same team.

Clearly the best team from half of the league has no chance against the best team from the other half of the league..

why bother having a season then, let's just vote down on paper who we think might win and call it a day!

This thread will be full of wins come june.

Using the blazers series as a reason for Dallas not being able to close well is moronic. They're 9-1 since that game and closed out the Lakers and Thunder multiple times and even made come from behind victories.

Heat have yet to play a team as good offensively as the Mavericks. Let's face it, every team the Heat have played this post season is offensively challenged.

Disagree. Elite closing teams don't blow 22 point leads going into the fourth quarter. Not just that, they let ONE GUY do it. Even worse, the one guy that did it basically didn't even have knees, Bradon Roy. Imagine what Lebron or Dwade would do if down going into the fourth quarter. Mavericks will have no chance at closing out any game vs Miami.

Dont forget that the mavs swept the defending champs.

Mavericks haven't face any elite defenses as the Heat. Heat destroyed the Celtics who are known for their defense. Heat massacred the number one defense in the NBA, the Chicago Bulls.

So, basically the Heat's offense has dominated elite NBA defenses, and their defense has been lock down. The Mavericks defense doesn't even come close to the Celtics defense, let alone the Bulls number one defense. Imagine what the Heat offense will do versus the Mavericks. Mavericks have no chance. Stop under-rating the Heat.

True.

Then again, I think the Heat are just fine playing in a more offensive oriented series. I think they'd prefer that to the grind-it-out Celtics/Bulls series'.

NBA Finals preview:

[Human Error]

The 76ers were scrappy and almost won 2 games.

The Celtics were riddled with injuries and still almost won 3 games.

The Bulls choked in 2 games, won 1, and they're young.

Wow man this post is just so retarded. "Coulda, shoulda, woulda" don't fit in sports. The same retarded logic that you just used says the Blazers and Thunder could've very well beat the Mavericks.

I doubt a team like the 2011 Miami Heat, with their superior team defense and with two super-stars in their prime and one above average All-Star, are afraid of a 34 year old Jason Kidd and the Mavericks non-elite defense.

The Heat scored 92 ppg against Boston and Chicago and under 90 ppg against Chicago alone, not exactly dominate offense.
