I think he's gassed and he better find his 2nd wind if the heat are going to win the title.

But the dude needs to get better. College would of helped him. He has a bad habit of becoming perimeter oriented late in games, when he should be slashing, cutting, coming off curl screens closer to the paint, and posting up.

It falls on him and the fact that he hasn't played for a great coach to teach him how to be more effective on offense. He's not in spots on the floor that allows him to flourish late. We saw the same thing in cleveland, but for the most part he's been able to get away with playing like this.

LBJ lacks the mentality to adjust his game. That's why the MJ comparisons are ridiculous. Hopefully he will learn. The Heat better not let this opportunity pass them by, cuz they may not get another chance.

haha!! whatever helps you sleep at night

Gonna go ahead and say this. If the Heat DON'T blow the Mavs out in the next to games they need to go ahead and get the blue and white confetti ready. I don't think Miami wants any part of any more close 4th quarter games against the Mavs. If momentum carries from game to game the Mavs JUST hit their stride and just got really dangerous. A confident Mavs team hitting shots in people's faces is the Mavs team even the best will have a hard time just staying in the game with them.

Huh?

I'll sleep just fine. I picked the mavs in 6 before the series started. That was just my opinion.

Dallas writer just a twitpic of D will give Dirk and J Kidd props in the Dallas locker room after the game while wearing a Texas rangers hat. Kidd should give him some advice to go ahead and come on back down home and pick up where he's going to leave off.
