three observations from last night’s mavs-heat game.
1. why didn’t miami foul dirk before his game-winning shot? you have that foul to give… why are you not using it? oh wait, it’s because chris bosh was guarding him and bosh is 1) the wrong guy to be guarding dirk because he can’t keep up with him, 2) just plain stupid and 3) just plain overrated. i’ve been saying it all year: stop calling it miami’s big three. it’s miami’s big two featuring chris bosh.
2. the entire game, whenever dirk got the ball, miami would double or even triple-team him. on dirk’s last two shots - the three and the game-winner - there was zero help defense. on the one hand, you’re critical of miami for NOT doubling him on those final shots, but you also see why they were doing it all game, because if you give dirk an inch, he’ll kill you.
3. don’t celebrate until it’s over, miami. dwyane wade’s three followed by his eff-you posing in front of the mavs bench and lebron using d-wade’s chest as a punching bag ended up resulting in the mavs giving an even BIGGER eff-you back at miami.
one more thing. this has bothered me for awhile, but everyone please take note… it’s miami heat. not miami heatS. heat is the noun, heatS is a verb. same with okc thunder and thunderS. not to go all grammar nazi on you, but it’s high time someone said something.
finally, with news of shaq’s retirement, we say goodbye to one of the most dominant big men to ever play the game. if shaq could stay healthy, he could still be a huge x-factor for any team. and even though shaq sometimes said things that raised eyebrows and did things that got him into trouble from time to time, i think there are few players who have ever had as much fun as the big diesel did.
and that’s not just fun while wearing his uniform either! let’s not forget one of shaq’s greatest contributions to the entertainment industry…
happy trails, big fella.
