Mavs took the NBA Champs to 7 games, Mavs > Heat?

It's been a while since I've done that.

I don't know that we would've gotten past OKC, but we could have pushed them to the brink as well. Between SAS this year and Dallas in 11, same principles. Great defense, amazing ball movement, and we shot the 3 lights out the entire series/playoffs. That's exactly what SA did, switching Bron and D Wade this year though.


Wade was a ghost.

Dallas would've challenged them with the same formula.

The entire West conference was/is just filthy. I really think every single team would have taken Miami to the limit. Maybe not all beat the Heat and certainly not slaughter them like San Antonio did, but it would have been far harder than the crap Miami went through in the East.

No. Dallas and SA, Durant and the Thunder would've lost to this MIA squad, Scott Brooks is a shitty coach, they don't move the ball as well as these two, they rely on too many isolation plays and Ibaka obviously, is a weakness trying to guard a stretch 4 like Bosh.

Memphis actually would've given MIA fits as well due to their front line, but they wouldn't have taken them in a series, they lack scoring.
