Miami takes Game 5, series 83-80!



Miami takes Game 5, series 83-80!

I saw this game having the feeling that I was watching a replay of the Oklahoma Thunder vs Dallas Mavs Game 4 in their own Western Conference Finals . In case you have  forgotten , in that fourth game, the Thunder experienced a complete meltdown which started in the last 4:34 of the 4th Q with the Thunder up by 12 , 99-87 ! To everybody's  shock and awe, the game ended 101-101 in regulation  Dallas eventually won that game 112-101and more importantly, the Western Conference Championship !

And the rest is history !

Going back to Game 5 of the Heat - Bulls series, Chicago was also leading by 12 (77-65)  with time down to 3:14 of the 4th Q when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade combined for an 18-3 run to lead the Heat to a comeback victory over the Bulls! In fact, in that decisive stretch, only Wade ( 8 points), James ( 8 points) and Bosh (2 points) scored for the Heat while only Derrick Rose scored for the Bulls with 3 points! Talking of the classic 4th Quarter collapse...

Now , what caused the Bulls' monumental collapse? I think , just like the Thunder , both  teams ' downfall was the obvious  i-n-e-x-p-e-r-i-e-n-c-e  of their young players particularly during the crucial stretch of "championship" games .

Anyway , it's a repeat of the 2006 NBA Finals with the Heat taking on the Mavs for the 2011 NBA trophy!

Whether Miami repeats over the Mavs is another story... very interesting plot!
