Dwyane Wade is averaging 40.3 points in the last three games of the NBA finals and each of these games the Heat have won. After being down 2-0 and looking quite helpless things have changed in a hurry for the Miami Heat due to Wade. Last night Wade scored 43 points the final one was a crucuial free throw with 1.9 seconds left in overtime after Josh Howard asked for a timeout the Mavs didn’t have to use. The Heat won 101-100 over the Mavericks and now have a lot of mojo heading back to Dallas. Dallas is quickly falling into a downward spiral with aggression towards NBA superiors for the suspension last game to Stackhouse and for what they feel are bogus calls by the refs. As I mentioned roughly two weeks ago, Mavs vs Heat, this series was going to be a special one.

The first two games have pretty much boiled down to the Mavericks playing exceptionally well and the Heat playing like S#%T. It really amazes me how out of sync and weak Miami’s superstar Shaquille O’Neal has played in the first two games. The second game he scored a putrid 5 points and didn’t even play the final 15 minutes of the game. In case Shaq isn’t aware, if he doesn’t play at the top of his game then the Mavs will absolutely turn the Heat off. Miami must play a lot better defensively against the perimeter play of Dallas and they have to get the ball in low and score effectively. Miami does have three games in a row now at home and they must win this one, but are they thinking in the back of their head only Boston in 1969 and Portland in 1977 have rallied from an 0-2 deficit to win the finals? We should find the answer to this question in quarter one.
