Notes from Game 6 and Reason for the Downfall of the Heat

The Heat no longer know how to use Lebron James.

JJ Barea is silky smooth- He just finds open space so well and hits everything mid range and in.

The Mavericks offense sets up deep- They are handling the ball 35 feet away from the hoop, and I'm not talking about the last four minutes.

Dirk has a beautiful jumper.

If the Heat spent more time practicing free throws instead of speaking in microphones this game would have been very different.

How were the Heat struggling to score when Kidd was on Wade and Barea was on Lebron?

The NBA continuation rule is pathetic Chalmers took another step and then put up a lay up after the whistle in the fourth.

Bosh was the only Heat player with any sense of urgency on defense in the last minute and a half

Lebron Should Spend More Time Practicing Jump Shots Instead of Being Wade's Side Kick

Lebron is just a joke now. Wade sounds like an idiot, no doubt about it, but at least he's playing good basketball. I guess it's karma for him though, making fun of Dirk being sick and gets injured himself. But Lebron, what are you doing? Snickering in the background like a eighth grade girl. Then he tells the reporters its about time he steps up. Bro it's the NBA Finals! You shouldn't be able to step your game up anymore. Do you only get ready after game 4? He's a clown, should probably hire a life coach ASAP.

Charles Barkley and I See Eye to Eye

While I was reading Ball Don't Lie today, I stumbled upon an article about Barkley not being able to root for the Heat. Barkley has never been shy about his feelings toward the Heat and proves it once again. The post is solid, and Barkley is not only the voice of all Bostonians but the voice of every person that doesn't live in Miami. From the "I'm taking my talents to South Beach" special to calling themselves the Heatles, you just have to hate these arrogant millionaires. I give Wade some credit because he didn't leave his own team and has been accomplished before they got there by having his own ring.

When Barkley was asked about the Heat these are some of the things he said:

"It's something about that team that annoys me.
"They just a whiny bunch and I can't root for them."

The best part in my opinion was when he called out the city of Miami and basically said their fans suck, have no spirit, and are basically just bandwagon fans who give golf claps for windmill dunks.

"Yeah, they have the worst fans. No question. It's not even loud in there. You're at the game and you are like, 'Man this place isn't even loud.' At least when you go to Chicago, it's loud in there, it's crazy down in Dallas but it's not even loud in Miami."

Lebron Chokes, Mavs Win

While everyone thought that Lebron was gaining that big game status through the playoffs, once the Finals started he took the back seat and deferred everything to Dwayne Wade. Lebron was a Ron Artest-esque 3-13 from the field including 0-3 from three. Wade kept being the leader he's been all series rifling 32 points while shooting 65% from the field. Dirk didn't have jaw dropping stats, but what people don't realize is he always finds a way to get around the double digits in freebies from the charity stripe. Last night he was 9-10 and he's basically Ray Allen at the stripe. Tyson Chandler is doing great on the boards with 16 last night for a 13 and 16 double double. His presence is what took the Mavs from a playoff team to a championship team. Jason Terry gave a solid 17 which is what he needs to do to keep them contending, but the better part was that the 6'2 guard shut down the 6'8 ultra explosive Lebron in the fourth quarter. That's just unacceptable for the so called "king". I hope the Mavs pull it out, and if Lebron can't find some Showtime in him I think Dirk and his crew will take the ship.
