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.

I agree. Lebron wasn't shooting well from beyond the arc, but they basically shifted their whole defense to keep him from doing anything. It was a great coaching job and exposed the flaws of someone like Wade on the current Heat squad. Wade's offense is to be a scorer with the ball in his hands and he isn't the best on the team at doing it.

If the Heat traded Wade for legit big men and more mike miller and barrier type players they would be much better. I don't see why the Heat play smaller guards like Chalmers unless they have to have Lebron guard a bigger player. Playing Lebron at guard should allow the heat to create a ridiculous amount of mismatches.

How does a team defend a team with

G- Lebron
G- Miller
F- Battier
F- Haslem
F- Bosh

That is a lot of length.

How does Paul, Rose, or Westbrook guard anyone on the floor?
