Another NBA Finals game and another thrilling outcome. The Mavs pulled out game 4 as much as the Heat lost it, to tie up the series 2-2. LeBron struggled mightily while Dirk gutted out a pretty good game with a 102 temp. He hit a key layup and free throws down the stretch to catapult the Mavs to a win.
So who wants it more? With the Western Conference being stacked, this could possibly be Dirk Nowitzki's last chance at a ring. It took him seven years to get back to the finals where he lost to the Heat in 2004. He is playing like a man on a mission and a ring could push him into top 50 ever to play the game status.
Everyone knows how talented LeBron is and he seemed like he was cruising to his first ring earlier in the playoffs. His game 4 struggles have the Heat haters laughing. Because of the preseason antics and the signing of "the 3 kings," anything less than a championship will be considered a failure. LeBron promised not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 rings. He needs to step up his game if he wants to get that first one.
When the series started I liked Heat in 6. Now I feel like it will go 7 and although I still like the Heat, both teams and these 2 superstars can taste victory. I hate the word epic but this series is setting up to be just that.
