Riley is being out Coached, Remember the first two games, Blow outs!

Mavs will win the series in 6.

I'm still totally optimistic about this series, because even with the Heat bringing their A-game, the Mavericks have had to beat themselves to lose. In Game 3, they blew a 13 point lead. That had as much to do with their play as it did the play of the Heat. In game 4, the Heat weren't stifling them on defense, they couldn't make an open shot. Nowitzki still hasn't brought his best play to this series. The Mavericks are going to win this series.

Yes, Miami didn't look great in the first two games, but you can't discount what they did in game 4 and even a bit in game 3. How can you say "so what?" to Miami winning two in a row? The entire team finally came close to their potential in game 4 and they will win this series if they continue to do so. The Heat won game 4 by 24 points. There's no way that can be entirely blamed on the Mavs' inability to hit the open shot.

I never said it was to be blamed entirely on the Mavs' inability to hit the open shot. I just said that their lack of point production can't really be credited to Miami's defense, because it wasn't that great during the game. It also magnifies as the game progresses. When you can't hit shots early, you get dejected, start forcing shots, and then start playing bad all-around basketball. No, I don't blame the 24 point entirely on the Mavs' inability to hit an open shot. I'm just saying that I still don't think Miami is playing the all-around kind of game they need to to win the series.
