worse than KD agianst us!

There was nothing, not even a hint in the regular season that Dallas wasn’t the better team that could hold Wade without fouling. They were 2-0 against the Heat. They had held Wade to 41% shooting. He averaged 8 fts/game against them. Somehow, after losing 2 games, they all of a sudden said “hey, I know what we should do, we should just give the ball to Wade and see what he does.” Except that was their gameplan all along and through 4 games nothing changed, but for the last 4 games all of a sudden it worked. There is only one game, game 4, that the heat extremely outplayed the Mavericks in every facet of the game. The disparity in ft attempts went up ridiculously. The sad part is that even with 49 fta, the Heat won game 5 by all of 1 point. There is no stretch of games in the playoffs that anyone can point to for the Lakers with that kind of ft disparity. In fact, usually for the Lakers they only mention one game or one moment that turned a point in the series. I can point to 3 of the last 4 games of that finals and be like hmmm…. I can’t believe you just put up game 5 as evidence on here. Or game 6, or game 3. smh. I mean, I know we’re Laker fans and we hear this all the time and refute it to the hardest, but there isn’t really a case here that you made that has proved otherwise. Even Dwyer points that series out as a funny case, even though he puts it off on Avery johnson just because he’s looking for another explanation and ignores the type of analysis that makes him a better writer. Analysis that says through 4 games, the Mavs were the better team by a lot, and somehow that all changed in the middle of game 3
