American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL
With the Miami Heat leads the series 2-2 can Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks compete fire with fire with the surging Miami Heat and its dynamic trio? Here are my points for both teams to win the game.
Dirk Needs Help - 3-1 is a complete mismatch, Dirk of the Dallas Mavericks may be the best shooting big-man in the league. He is a 7 footer who shoots better than anyone in the league. His fade away jump shot is just unstoppable. But against the trio from Miami Heat his jumpers were not enough to win game 4 atleast. His supporting cast Shawn Marion, Jason Terry and Jason Kidd needs to step-up to bring the heat down.
Keep Attacking the Basket. For Miami Heat, they were definitely faster and more talented than the Mavericks squad. If you look at the course of this series, all three games the Heat leads by double digits. They did it mostly in the open court until the Mavs came back late in the game. The Heat squad should not settle for jump shots, they have 2 of the best slashers in the league James and Wade, they need to keep penetrating the paint and control the tempo of the game. if they do that, no doubt Game 4 will be on theirs.
