I think that Dallas has an edge because of Dirk Nowitski, but it seems no other players wants to step up and help him so Miami Heat may still pull an upset. LeBron's pathetic performance in Game 4 are making more people believe he "choke" when the most important game comes. Wade and the rest of Heat may move on without him but it seems they blew big leads and suffers meltdown all the time.

Dallas takes Game 5! Yeay! Good work team! You deserve it. I'm having my fingers crossed for Game 6. Amazing!

I really hope Miami wins! I want Lebron to win a championship. The series is tied and I think it's too close to call. Hmm, hopefull Miami does not choke!
As to Lebron, I think Game 4 just proves that Miami needs Lebron's help. He had a bad/lack luster game but it does not mean he was a choker. The whole team choked. Wade even had a crucial turnover. I guess, it's all team effort.
Good luck, Miami!

it is difficult to call at this time when the two teams are tied with two wins apiece. well, i like the chances of the mavericks because they do not easily give up in spite of big leads. but the athleticism and star power by the heat may overwhelm the mavs in the end. i want the series to go to seventh and final game so that we will enjoy every minute of it.

This series makes for great television ratings as lone superstar from the lone star state faces a three headed marketing monster on South Beach. On paper, it's still 2 superstars and an all star versus 1 superstar. The odds are still in Miami's favor as well as home court advantage.

For the bigger part of this series, Miami has been leading. I think that much has been obvious. Dallas managed to tie it up with their grit and determination in the fourth quarter, which is the only quarter they seem to show up. As the NBA analysts have said, the Mavs need to be playing from ahead instead of always trying to catch up in the second half onwards. The Heat could only blow so many leads and LeBron can only have so many bad games before he recovers.
Still, I'm rooting for the Mavericks in this series and I hope that Dirk gets enough help the rest of the way.

I do agree that Dallas has an edge. I consider them as a more disciplined and defensive oriented team, without the doubt that Dirk plays a major role why the Mavericks is very much in contention. Match up problems? At first it seems that this is the Dallas major concern, with the big 3 of the Miami. But Coach Rick's magic seems working and how about LeBron James his performance is noticeable that with his caliber so much is expected from him, the responsibility of Wade and Bosh could be a lot easier if this expectation have been met.
