Heat Lose to the Mavericks in NBA Finals

Looks like the Miami Heat and LeBron James will have to wait at least another year until they get another chance at a championship ring.  I don't typically watch NBA basketball but I was intrigued by the Miami Heat and the big three, James, Wade and Bosch and whether or not they would be able to the championship James so desires.

My observations indicated to me that the Mavericks REALLY wanted this one.  They had fantastic teamwork throughout the series and showed lots of heart and grit.  Nowitzki was ill with a fever when he scored the final points in game 4.  He is a class act and an incredibly good shooter.  Jason Terry and Berea tore them up with their 3-point shooting and pin-point passing. 

The Heat had way too many turnovers and passed TOO MUCH!  Then last night, the missed enough free throws to win the game outright.  I think LeBron James is an incredible talent but humble he is not.  If you are going to be a high class athlete, then you've got to be able to take the HEAT or get out of the kitchen.  He is a 26-year old man that really didn't get a chance to grow up since he went right from high school to the pros.  Maturity goes a long way and hopefully, he will get his mental game together to go with his athletic talent.  Otherwise, I don't see him getting a championship ring soon.
