I was thinking that too, if Yao Ming was tired in the final minutes I would do that so he could catch some air.
don't count on it. heat are already looking sluggish on offense and dallas can't miss. looking like a pretty easy win for mavs also, i think chandler has now drawn about 7 fouls and has only been called for one.
miami 23 fouls called again; dallas 13 fts - miami 15, dallas 21 are you even serious right now? it's not even close the refs are favoring dallas in this game.
The Heat always seem to run a few plays for Bosh in the early part of the fourth quarter. And Bosh seems to score on quite a few of them.
Nothing cheap about it because every player in the NBA knows it will be called. It's a very avoidable play by the defender. It dangerous because the defender launches himself into air and puts himself at the mercy of the player with the ball.
This is the problem with Dallas when they start hitting shots - they start taking contested ones. Dumb play...
The ball HAS to touch Nowitzki's hands at least once every possession. Sigh @ Terry jacking up a contested three in the corner.
I guess Barea's still in there because Carlisle wants a bit more rest for Kidd and Kidd's got a bunch of fouls.
