Nba finals - In terms of sheer entertainment value, a Dallas-Miami Finals should be pretty special. Miami, of course, is a totally different team. Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki are the only holdovers and Dirk has gotten tougher and better, scoring at an all-time high efficiency and -- for the first time in his career -- consistently punishing smaller defenders.
Miami has said it will treat Barea like Rose.
2). Udonis Haslem and Chris Bosh vs. Dirk Nowitzki
All in all, Haslem held Dirk to 31 percent shooting when guarding him.
In late-game scenarios when the Heat must have a stop, James could defend Dirk. His combination of power and speed held Rose to 1-15 shooting in the Eastern Conference Finals.
3). Who else is going to score for Dallas?
4). Chris Bosh must play BIG, literally
Throughout the leagues and tournaments I've organized, coached in, and played in, I've seen a lot of adults play basketball in my lifetime. This year in the NBA, I observed a lot of the lessons about basketball -- lessons which I learned the hard way through mostly painful losses and a few exhilirating championships -- come to fruition.
Instead of watching two storied franchises which seemed to have had innate, perhaps unfair, personnel advantages over various dynasties of time, we have two teams which seem to be reflecting an era of basketball while at the same time possibly ushering in a new era, with the Lockout looming and strongly indicating a change to the business of basketball as we know it.
Yup, the basketball gods.
