Well, it was an interesting game. Dallas won, but truth be told, Miami has only themselves to blame, they got ahead witha few good shots, and from there, winning seemed academic, so they started playing sloppily. Miami has to realize that they do not have a seasoned all-star to MAKE winning "academic", whereas the Mavs do (it's the ONLY great player the Mavs have right now, though...), and it showed yesterday.
It does not quite mean the Mavs have a fighting chance, only that the Heat has to play carefully till the very end, or they WILL take unexpected hits. Also, it has to be factored in that the series is now moving to Dallas, and the Heat just got dreamcrushed in their own city, which could have a negative effect on them (and it WILL have a positive one on Dallas). I do not expect it to have a negative effect for 3 whole games, but if the Mavs can shake them in the first game, then they're up 2-1 and things change all around. If they DO manage to go 3-1 then, the Heat is pretty much doomed, they won't have the guts to come back and win without home turf advantage. As I said, though, I do not expect that to happen. But I do expect, though, for the series to move back to Miami, which means at least 6 games, unless the Heat miraculously manage to shrug off the huge blow they took and get back on top of their game.
