Mavs in 6.
Obviously my title speaks for itself, but let me tell you why this will happen. Unlike Philly, Boston, and Chicago, Dallas plays like a team. You can argue Boston is similar to Dallas, but they lost my respect once they traded Perkins, plus they’re just old. Not only that, Dallas has a solid bench in Terry, Barea, Hayword, and Peja. You can’t say Miami has a bench, because Lebron Wade & Bosh makeup 70% or more in scoring. Matchup wise I like Jason Kidd on Dwayne Wade, he’s one of the smartest players in NBA history, and he won’t fall for Wade’s pump fakes. As for Lebron, I like Marion, he won’t be able to stop him, but he’ll turn Lebron into a spot up shooter. And lastly, Chandler on Bosh. A lot of people will blame  Chris Bosh after this series, and the main reason will likely be because of Chandler. Chandler is very underrated, and if it weren’t for him I don’t believe the Mavericks would have beat OKC in 5. Chandler sets the defensive tempo for the Mavs, and he’s only gotten better during the playoffs. The only way I see Miami winning this series is because of the officials. Every time Lebron or Wade miss a layup it’s automatically a foul. There’s a reason why Miami was in the top 3 in free throw attempts per game, let’s get it right this time.
