Dallas

I like what they're doing with their rotation and mixing it up against Miami. That said, without Dirk in the game midway during the 1st, they looked way overmatched. Peja shouldn't play. The guy can't guard anyone and doesn't bring anything offensively except the open 3.

They need to pound it inside. Haywood and Chandler should both score 10 points and have 10 rebounds. I know it isn't their natural game, but they need to exploit Miami's lack of height. Once they do this, it'll open the rest of the game up for their shooters - Terry, Dirk, Barea, Kidd, Peja can all get going and get open jumpers if they start going low. I like how they're using Marion. Just put him one-on-one with LaBron. Work LaBron on both ends of the floor. Obviously LaBron will win the match up, but it makes the assignment simple and if Marion can just do half of what LaBron does, hopefully his teammates can back him up. Keep making Wade work for his shots and beat him up when he goes to the rim. They can win, but Miami is better.
