This series reminds me of the Federer-Nadal matchup. Yeah, Fed's a great player, but whenever he comes close to leveling a match with Nadal, Rafa just takes it up a level. That's how I see the Heat. Dallas can try their hardest, but when the Heat throw it into overdrive, the Mavs just can't compete.

The Heat still need one more win in dallas. All they did was take back HCA for the moment. They can't go back to Miami down 2-3

Yeah, and it would have helped if someone not named Dirk hit a shot in the last 5 minutes of the game.....
Terry could have won it.

Why not?

In 2006 Dallas had these guys down 2-0 and were leading in game three before Dwayne Wade took over.

The pressure is clearly on Dallas. They haven't played welll the past 2 games and if not for an absolutely heroic effort in game 2 they would be down 3-0.

Dallas not only needs to win game 4 they need a strong all-around showing. Guys like Jason Terry and other Dallas players are going to have to step it up on offense.

Because it's not that often that a team will win both games when down 3-2. I think it only happened in 1988 and 2010

I believe in 1994 as well, Houston was down 3-2 and came back to win in 7 ( the final game was when John Starks had his infamous 2-17 performance)

Interesting series so far. My heart is with the Mavs until they show that owner Cuban. Something about him that makes it hard for me to support his team. Would be good to see Dirk, Jason, and Marion get a ring. They're going to have to earn it big time though.

Still don't care for caveman Lebron. If the Heat win, Wade is the reason. This man has a great deal of character and IMO is better than Lebron. He's more versatile and takes no prisoners. Wade is quiet intensity, one of my favorite players. I also have more respect for Bosh. He's a finesse guy and I like that. He versatile. He's a good free throw shooter. He's got a decent outside shot, especially mid-range. He's effective at posting players, and plays hard defensively. He's a big awkward though and can be faked, but I give him "A" for effort.

Mavs must win game 4 or it's over.

This has to be one of the best Finals i have seen in a long time. Games are so close! Gutsy effort by the Mavs after Heat go up by 9 early in 4th quarter. This is also one of the weirdest series. Just when you thought one team had the momentum and control, it quickly vanishes.
