Pretty average Finals.
For the record, Miami shot 52 more free throws than Dallas for the series. Crazy. That's 9 more per game than Dallas!
And on top of that, Dallas never made any adjustments to Wade, which after the game 4 Miami blowout, was inexcusable. Wade shot from his same comfort zones on the floor again and again. No double teams, no denying him his shot. (coaches fault?) Too many missed jumpshots, coupled with no driving to the hole were Dallas' main offensive problems (coaches fault?). Not enough passing the ball to Dirk. (coaches fault?)
The only game I credit Miami winning somewhat outright was the final game 6 in Dallas. They looked way, way, way, WAY more hungrier and determined, so I guess they deserved it. The Miami role players, almost to a man, had great games. Would have liked to see a more competetive Finals, but Miami played better throughout (especially defensively) so I guess they deserved it. They definitely had some help from the officials though. This is not a great team, Miami. Dallas lost it, more than Miami won it. They are one and done.
Lakers-PHX series was the best series imo. Loved it!
