The Heat are up 3-0 in their series with New York while the Mavericks are down 0-3 against Oklahoma City in a reversal of fortunes for last year's NBA Finalists. When Dallas chose not to re-sign key players like Tyson Chandler and J.J. Barea, it was admitting that rebuilding was more important than defending the title. Meanwhile, Miami is just getting stronger as the Heat's three stars evolve together.
Shock. Total and utter shock. I had no idea the Mavs, after two incredibly close losses in Oklahoma City, would just collapse in Game 3. And by collapse, I mean collapse. The Mavs never looked like they wanted to win this game.
You can see this series in one of two ways. Yes, the Thunder are up by two games and have taken care of home court. But the Mavs have a two game homestand ahead of them, and the last two games were decided in the final seconds.
