Which is mainly what I'm referring to as 'flash'. You don't have to be super talented to block out for a rebound, you just have to want the damn ball enough to get your ass in the paint. There were several times tonight when the key was packed with blue jerseys, offensively and defensively, and not a heat rebounder anywhere in the vicinity. That's a failure in the want-to department.
Defensively, Miami sucked it up, but I don't feel like the failing can be attributed to being a newly put together team--they've played nearly a hundred games together. Dallas is a good offensive team, but seriously. Lots of time the Heat's help D didn't even friggin' exist. Either we've got a failure in the fundamental department, or the want-to department. It's one or the other, because there's no lack of talent on that team. (Or you say Dallas is just that much better, which is not something I personally believe.)
But then, I have trouble finding positives (beyond DWade's general on-court badassness, that is) in a team whose stars talk crap in pregame, and then can't hack it when comes down to it. But maybe that's just me.
Regardless, it was a very entertaining series. Better than the last few I've watched.
