What We Have Learned From Game 1

All righty, Game 2 of the NBA Finals starts in less than 9 hours(9 EDT) and I'm pretty sure that most of the population who watched that don't believe that there will be a sweep. If you do, you are kind of delusional. Well, I'm going to tell you the 3 things what I've learned:

1. MIAMI HALF-COURT OFEENSE IS SLIGHLY TRAGIC.
I am not trying to mean here, but watching Miami's half-court offense was seriously painful. There is no ease to it, very forceful in delivery in all the wrong ways. It was like having to watch an oral surgeon pulls someone's teeth out without novocaine. They would get the ball across half court and then make one or two passes, but there would be any real execution until the last 10 seconds of the shot almost every single possession. Then, if you are a Miami fan, you're hoping that the jump shot whoever is shooting goes in. It's almost like a little kind watching a scary at the end covering their eyes and then peeking out of one hoping that the outcome is favorable. So, if you're Miami, I would use your athleticism to your adavantage and push the ball on all occasions, because you really lucked up that the wide open shots Dallas took did not fall in their favor.

2. DALLAS MUST TAKE CARE OF THE BALL
Dallas had 12 turnovers and Miami only had 10. 12 turnovers does not sound bad, right? Wrong. Miami is the type of team that capitilizes on turnovers with fast break points. Because if you are Dallas, the best defense is a superb offense that does not turn the ball over since Miami does not consistently push the ball down the floor regardless if it is a make or miss on the other end.

3. THE BENCH ARE REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PLAYERS.
The bench is who's going to decide the winner of the series. Miami's bench outscored Dallas' 27-17 which proved to be differnce in the game. It wasn't LeBron going 4-5 from behind the 3 point line, but the 18 points that Mario Chalmers and Mike Miller combined for since Joell Anthony and Mike went scoreless. Miami desperately needs consistent contributions from their bench Mike Bibby has not found his shot after leaving Sacramento and Atlanta and Joell Anthony is much more known for his defensive presence. And Peja Stojakic going scoreless truly does help the Miami defense on one less scorer to account for.

Well, that's all I got so far. Now, if NFL and the players come to an agreement in the next couple weeks, days would be nice, all will be right with the world.
