He's a Mavs fan though. Can't expect him not to be biased or delusional. Dudes be saying dumb statements like turnovers and rebounds are the only reason they're in the series as if that's not part of basketball. Like they're not causing turnovers and being aggressive at grabbing reboundsOriginally Posted by EvansST

This vaunted Heat defense I keep reading about is based on aggressive traps and athleticism. If you can move the ball and you actually have enough talent on your team where 4 or 5 players are an offensive option you can beat them.
The only reason why the Heat are even staying in this series unforced turnovers and offensive rebounds. People see the highlight dunks and think they just can't be guarded. Well in transition they can't. They seriously are the best transition team I've seen because its guaranteed points. However the turnovers they are getting from us aren't from them trapping or passing lanes well. We are flat out throwing the ball away or dribbling it off our feet.
I can't wait until tomorrow.Next excuse will be lucky shots.
I don't see how you can objectively watch the first two games and not clearly see which team has been playing better.

Mavs pretty much controlled 2 and a half quarters in game one, and controlled the first half in game 2.
That is utter crap. No way in hell did they control the first half in game 2. The score in the first half was close, but both the commentators and the posters of this forum were saying that it feels that the Heat were in control and that they should be ahead. After the score started reflecting the play on the court, the Heat's lead skyrocketed until they stopped caring and allowed the comeback.
Other than the comeback, which really was more, or at least was just as much about Heat being out of control because they thought they had the game won than the Mavs being in control, the only part of the series that the Mavs controlled so far was the start of the third quarter in game 1.
Other than that, I really don't know what series you've been watching. It is evident that for all the hype about their supposedly great defense, the Mavs can do absolutely nothing about either Wade or LeBron, who were having a much harder time against the Celtics and Bulls defenses. The Mavs, for all their great ball movement that worked so well against the Lakers still can't get to open shots when the Heat defense is on. The Heat are there to meet every pass, sometimes even until the shot clock expires. Their other main weapon, Dirk Nowitzki, has been shooting 42.5% and the most damage he's done so far has been from the free throw line. The only true problem for the Heat so far has been Shawn Marion. But seriously, what is more likely? That Marion keeps up with his play so far or that LeBron and Wade do?
All the Heat management needs to do is get through their thick skulls the fact that Chris Bosh, a guy who is shooting 26% from the field is averaging 17 shots per game, while a guy who is shooting 55%, LeBron, is averaging 15.5 shots.

i think it's subconscious. i dunno the players are just so much more athletic or you assume they will eventually get bogus calls.
