The NBA Finals is well underway and the series is tie at 2 a piece. The winner of Game 3 has been typically the winner of the series (I heard it on ESPN or by the TV commentators, not sure). In that case, the Heat should be wrapping this up, right?
If Game 4 was any indicator of things to come, Miami's Lebron James is extremely exhausted. James scored 8 points the entire game – that's not exactly a 'Lebron' off-day.
Dallas' DeShawn Stevenson – yes the guy with Abe Lincoln tatted on is neck – said James "checked out" in Game 4.
Did James pull a Cleveland Cavalier? Recall what occurred last year in the Eastern Championship against Boston; James may or may not have quit on his team.
Either way, Miami is lucky they have Dwayne Wade because he literally carried the team with his 32 points. Chris Bosh gets a honorable mention because of his 24 points.
If James really is the "best player" in the league, why did he break down like this? Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki hasn't shut down like that, and he's supposedly the second best player in this championship series (some would argue Wade is better than Nowitzki).
Nowitzki has been the best player in these playoffs and will continue to dominate like he has this whole time.
Game 5 goes to the Mavs.
I bid you all farewell.
