Jason Terry sounds like a future coach to me.

Michael Beasley Sr. is an idiot, apparently.

Dwyane Wade has been absolutely awesome this whole series. I don't know if that's the matchups or the defensive schemes, or perhaps a sheer determination to win, but he's been extremely impressive.

Wade is much more suited to attacking Dallas' zone defense than LeBron is thanks all to his first step (crafty footwork and out of this world moves help too). Cause of Wade's first step, the collapse doesn't come fast enough. With LeBron who doesn't have a quick first step, that small gap in time is all the Dallas defense needs to collapse on him. Getting shutdown by Jason Kidd is a different story though.

Wade this series kind of reminds me of young Jordan, the one who had a killer first step and before when he developed a dominant post game.

Yup, making his sons job a lot tougher too.

I could see Lebron dunking on him pretty hard next season.

cudos to Mario Chalmers. He's played well. Could be a "rondo esque" rub off, where playing with great players make you a better player.

Is it just me or is LeBron's legacy taking a hit right now? This man is suppose to be the best player in the leage, arguably the second best player to ever play but can't even perform in the clutch?

MJ > Kobe > LBJ

He's re-enacting Rashard Lewis' trip to South Beach.

The creepy part about that move though is that it's Bill Kennedy doing it. Tim Donaghy had some, umm, interesting things to say about him.

Bosh is playing like his M.O., though. He always did seem to have trouble late in important games, so he's actually really showing up and playing to his ability. Wade of course has been a thorn in the Mavs side again, but LeBron really is the one who is losing it for his team right now.

I still think Miami has a great advantage at home to pull it out, but if LeBron continues to swoon, they will lose. Dirk is not going to be stopped so you basically have to have the most talented player in the NBA simply play better than him.

Dallas has a very good defensive strategy and that has become the difference since some point in game 2. They mix up zone here and there to throw them off their game. They are controlling james with double teaming making him go for the pass right away, helping on Wade and leaving the rest of the team some space. In Bosh's case he is open most of the time so they are gambling on the jumper only because he is just brutal down low. Cant keep the ball on his hands and cant finish the layup unless its an iso.

The flow of the series has changed dramatically. It seems as if Dallas has figured out how to play them pretty well. It also helps that guys like Terry and Barea have found their shooting strokes.

Its no longer a walk in the park, and if the heat dont win the championship, they are going to hear it from everyone.

If the Mavs end up winning, then we can conclude that Scottie and MJ are still up to their old tricks of cockblocking everyone in the NBA. MJ with his trade of Chandler to Dallas (as underrated a move as when the Bulls got Cartwright) and Scottie stoking the fires.

Those two rascals.
