I saw that on the replay. Maybe he didn't want to leave Terry open in the corner, but they NEVER let Dirk go anywhere without sending extra defenders at him.

I like this analysis:

Anatomy Of A Gilded Collapse

By John Hollinger

MIAMI -- Fool's gold.

That's my two-word analysis of the Miami Heat's offense that got them a 1-0 series lead and 15-point edge midway through the fourth quarter of Game 2. With LeBron James and Dwyane Wade converting an unusually large number of bailout 3-point attempts and the Heat getting multiple easy baskets from their defense, it was easy to overlook the fact that Miami's half-court offense was struggling to consistently generate good shots.

That is, until the tap stopped flowing on bailout 3s and transition dunks, at which point it became abundantly clear that Miami's half-court offense was struggling to consistently generate good shots. Those facts go a long way toward explaining why the Heat won the highlight film but lost the basketball game.

Dallas should prepare to play 5 on 8 tomorrow. The Capo wants a Game 7 ...
