NBA Finals Game 3 Analysis and Game 4 Preview
The Miami Heat's win over the Dallas Mavericks has shifted all eyes towards the Mav's players other than their stars. Players like Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler and Shawn Marion have been in the spotlight for the most part in the three games played so far against the heat. The Mavericks will have to make good use of their bench players and other talents in order to supplement the efforts of players like Nowitzski. Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion and Tyson Chandler are seen as the players who must score those crucial 15 to 20 points that could easily decide the game. However, they have been coming up short with Jason Kidd not yet reaching the 10 point mark each game so far. Other players like Peja Stojakovic desperately need to start pulling their load in these final games. His presense in Game 1 and 2 went almost unnoticed as he didnt make a single point. Stojakovic made his first and only two pointer in Game 3 which hurts his dependability behind the three-point line. If the Mavs dont start pushing their unseen players, they will have too much liability resting on their star power and jeapardize the championship.
