Hell yeah! Loved every bit of that great run to close out the game the other night! About time one of those goes my way. But now we move on to Game 3. This one's for you Ricky: I'm coming hard with the Heat in this game. Despite building a 15 point lead in Game 2, I don't think the Heat were all that impressive up to that point (and they still almost won), but the Mavs had many silly turnovers that led to easy transition buckets for Miami. I don't think Dallas will be as careless with the ball in this game, but I expect LeBron and D-Wade to be extremely aggressive and collectively, get to the free throw line a whole lot more. I f---ing hate saying this, but the Heat are the better team. They will impose their will on Dallas in Game 3 and take control of this series. If you don't already know the stat, here it is: Since the inception of the 2-3-2 format in the NBA Finals, the winner of Game 3 in a series tied 1-1 has gone on to win the title 11 out of 11 times. Could that perfect streak end at any time? Sure. But I think there's a reason why it's perfect. The two teams know each other by this point and the better team takes control in this ridiculous format. (I've always felt the team with the three home games in the middle has a greater disadvantage than the normal 2-2-1-1-1 format.)
4* MIAMI +2.5
ML Play:
MIAMI +125 (2 units to win 2.5 units)
Adjusted Series Play:
MIAMI -145 (1.45 units to win 1 unit) (I know I already have the Mavs to win the series, but this value is great and I think Miami will win in the end; they have Game 7 on their court if it gets that far, which I think it will; but of course, I would love to see Dirk get that ring!)

Most people seem to like Dallas in this game. Even better. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love it when it's me against the rest. The smaller side usually wins. GO HEAT! Shit, I can't believe I just said that.
