Official Dallas Mavericks vs. Miami Heat (NBA Finals) Game 1 Thread

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

How say you? Mavs in 6 I think. Just too deep for Miami, and can go back to the smaller, faster Devin Harris lineup for this series.

I am astounded by the job Avery Johnson has done this season, and during the playoffs. He has:

-gotten the Mavericks to play defense, and emphasize defense sometimes
-somehow made Dirk realize he's freakin' 7 feet tall and should take it to the hole when he has smaller or slower defenders on him
-also made Dirk realize that he's THE star of the team and the team NEEDS him to come up big and sometimes take the team on his shoulders and carry them to the win, especially when they're down after the half, this is something he seemed to almost NEVER do in the past...

That having been said, for whatever reason it looks like the Heat is peaking just at the right time so they are scary, so I wouldn't be completely shocked if they won the series either.
