No thoughts on Game 3 cuz I didn't watch it. But Game 4...
- On the Heat, Dwyane Wade played like a champion. His teammates played like Finals participants.
- It's unfair to compare Dirk's flu game to Michael Jordan's flu game because MJ is the best player in NBA history. Dirk still had 21 and 11 and his team won.
- Dirk's teammates stepped up. Tyson Chandler was a rebounding beast, Jason Terry was making his shots, JJ Barea had his spurts, Shawn Marion got his points. Good team effort.
- The defense of the two teams is what makes this the best finals in years, even if Miami winds up winning.
- These playoffs were one possession away from Dallas being up 3-1, and two possessions away from Miami sweeping the series.
- LeBron James led the Heat in rebounds and assists, but that 3-11 shooting line is what everyone's going to pounce on.
- One reason Udonis Haslem plays such good defense on Dirk in the fourth is the refs are giving him a lot of leeway. There were some slo-mo replays where Haslem's draped all over him as Dirk was running to the basket. I get the feeling on those if Dirk missed, whistles would've blown.
