DALLAS: Now, finish them off. Now???s your chance more than ever Mavs. There???s really no reason not to think Dallas can???t continue to win the way they have been. Dallas has to finish this series off in Game 6 because I don???t see them winning a game 7 in Miami. Yet, than again, maybe they can because of how their playing. That???s right, I think their that good, for Pete???s Sake they shot 56% for the game in the Game 5 win over Miami. Not only that, but they played good defense, forcing the Miami Heat to turn-the ball over. Yes, Miami shot 56% to, but when they needed to deliver, when they really needed to score when it mattered the most, they couldn???t. LeBron James is the reason why this Heat team isn???t winning. ??? Dwayne Wade hasn???t been able to rely on James when he???s needed him the most. In the 4rth quarter, LeBron James was just 1-5 from the field, he struggled in crunch-time. When the Heat needed him to score, to contribute he couldn???t do it. Yeah, I know, James had a double-double, but that doesn???t really matter when you lose. Let???s face it, LeBron James didn???t deliver in the 4rth quarter for the Miami Heat. When they really needed it the most. Nope, it was Dwayne Wade again trying to do it all by himself and he couldn???t do it. Now on the other-end of the court for the Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowizki was anything BUT clutch. Jason Terry was the CLOSER for the Mavericks though, In the previous Finals games in this series, Terry didn???t shoot well, average maybe 30%. You knew it was coming for Dallas, their big shooting game, when their shooters shoot the lights out, well, it was last-night. And again, there???s really no reason to think that Dallas won???t deliver shooting the basketball. For the Mav???s sake though, they better shoot the lights out on Sunday. Shoot at least 50% or higher, if they do that, it will be a victory for Dallas. That???s how they need to close it out. Jason Kidd, J.J Barea, Dirk Nowitzki, and Jason Terry need to deliver. They have to, they must, or else it will go to a 7th game in the series. Dallas has to approach Game 6 like it???s a Game 7, they have to play like their the desperate team, or else they probably won???t. So, yes, even though the Heat are trailing the series 3-2, this is a must-win for the Dallas Mavericks. It???s a must-win because the Mav???s need to take care of it. Escape Miami with a win, with the most important win of the season. The Mavericks need to hold the Larry O???Brien trophy on Sunday or else it won???t happen in the 7th game. Maybe it will, because the Mavericks have been the team that has been delivering the entire season. And for the Heat, LeBron James hasn???t been playing at the level he???s needed to for his team to win. There???s no reason to think that LeBron James is going to pull himself back up. Because he hasn???t, there???s no reason to think that LeBron won???t because of the way he???s played. When LeBron needed to deliver, he couldn???t deliver for the Heat. And if Miami somehow ends up winning the Championship, it will because of Dwayne Wade. But I don???t see it happening, because Wade needs LeBron to step up for Miami to win, and so far he hasn???t done anything clutch for Miami to win. Thomas Brunt ??? The Sportsguy ???
