home teams are supposed to defend their homecourt and as they say "a series doesn't start before a home team losses a game in their homecourt"...
Dallas' five attempts in the first quarter (4 offensive rebounds) in one possession was indicative of how they would play the whole game missing all 5 of those tries. they had good looks at the basket in the perimeter, in the 3 pt area and even had shots that went in and out of the basket in the first half but they just couldn't convert. I give credit to the Miami Heat's defense but most of the Mavs' shots were uncontested and easy but it just wouldn't fall resulting to just above 30% FG, that's the first time I saw the Mavs shoot this bad the whole regular season and playoffs.. and I've seen each and every one of those games.. just a very lethargic performance by the Mavs.
the winner of game 5 will be a very good indication on who's gonna win this series.. :mrgreen:
