Good job by the Mavs. Also since Wade is much worse off ball player and isn't a huge 3 pt threat they just sagged in the lane to defend Lebron.

Since Lebron can play off ball he ended up not having the ball as much and ended up being the guy having to shoots 3s since he actually is a decent to good shooter from the beyond the arc.

Wade is a poor fit for this team and the record seems to point to that also. If anything I think it will continue to be a problem in the playoffs.

They'd work much better with a Ray Allen type 2-guard for sure

I tried arguing to a lot of people that the Mavs defense worked perfectly for the Miami offense. Miami ran an iso offense that worked in favor of the Mavs wiser defenders. They would force the Heat to shoot jumpshots and prevent them from getting easy baskets and it worked. They didn't believe in Wade's or Lebron's outside shot, but at the same time, I truly think the Mavs were in his head by the 3rd or 4th game. They would leave him wide open on 3 point attempts when they could've gotten to him in time. They just did not respect him or his shot by that time in the series. Credit to Coach Carlisle.
