Why Miami Lost to Dallas

Many questioned what happened to the Miami Heat and how did they loose to the Dallas Mavericks! The basketball world was some what shocked that the best defensive team of the East lost to the best offensive team of the West! I guess it took a couple of days for it to sink in what really happen,  but this is how I saw it. The Heat wore themselves down and the Mavericks 3 point shooting won!

The truth is the Heats constrictive defense that demolished the the Bulls and the Celtics, rattle the Mavericks for 2 or 3 games, but that was not enough for an offensive juggernaut. The Mavericks did not hang their hat on defense, but they could hold there own with the best of them! Although when you look at the Mavericks team, anyone could see that they were a seasoned with a lot of fire power...

When you look at the  first three games of the series, it was a defensive battle, with an occasional burst of offense...  Three games in the low 90's showed that Heat defense was invincible. Even when the Mavericks stole game 2! Then the Heat stole game 3 back and I knew this was going to be a good series. Although something happened in game 4 that turn the whole series around, the Heat's fatigue begin to show and the defense was not the same and it opened up the 3 pointing shots for the Mavericks.

The Heat could not not find their second wind... Now that once crushing defensive was against the rope to an exceptional offense! The three point shooting from Kidd, Terry, Barea and Marian was to much.

The reason that the Heat lost to the Mavericks is a good offense beat a good defense!
