\nTalk Smack In Our NBA Handicapping Forums –><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nThe question today is how to attack a Miami Heat defense that has at long last figured things out? A defense that has LeBron James applying tremendous perimeter pressure, Dwyane Wade free to interrupt passing lanes, and Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem with enough length to hold their own against half-decent front lines.<\/p>\n
The 76ers had no chance no matter what they tried, the Celtics tried uptempo and were shut down whenever they needed a basket to stay alive, and the Bulls tried to slow things down. All to no avail.<\/p>\n
Dallas?<\/p>\n
Rick Carlisle knows that it\u2019s game\/set\/match if Dirk Nowitzki doesn\u2019t continue to put up big numbers, and Carlisle has always been a conservative coach not prone to making drastic lineup changes. So basically what you\u2019ve seen from the Mavs is what you\u2019ll see in The Finals \u2013 at least in Game 1. Dirk outside, Dirk on the block, Dirk to the hoop.<\/p>\n
There are reports that James will guard him, and that might happen late in games. But the last thing the Heat want is James in foul trouble early, and that\u2019s possible if the 6-foot-8 James defends the 7-foot Nowitzki. Look for it late if James is not in foul trouble and Nowitzki is going off. ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/banners.affiliatelions.com\/marketing\/getimage\/1445\/408\/\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIt will be interesting to see if the Mavericks can adjust to the Heat\u2019s defensive pressure. Dallas is coming off a series against Oklahoma City in which the Thunder were at best indifferent defensively, and the Mavs could basically get off whatever shot they needed with the Thunder politely declining to blast through picks.<\/p>\n
Miami is a different breed of cat, and the Heat\u2019s youth allows them to apply defensive pressure for the entire game. James never seems to have his hands on his knees, and everyone on the team not named James or Wade usually has plenty of energy late in games because they don\u2019t have to expend much on offense in the early going.<\/p>\n

BEST BET:<\/strong> Looking here for an over game as the Heat try to establish themselves as schoolyard bullies and push the ball down the Mavs\u2019 throats. Both teams have had plenty of rest, and fresh legs can result in points on the scoreboard.<\/p>\nFor parlay players, throw in Heat minus the points.<\/p>\n
