I actually think Spoelstra did pretty good for what he had, sure he should have changed up his tactic when Dallas moved to the zone defense and made LBJ and Dwade a shooter. Here are the reasons why the Heat lose:

Defense: Miami has a outstanding defense during Bulls and Celtics series. LBJ and Dwade can cover so much ground. But where was it during the Finals 4th quarter. Jason Terry and Jason kidd was killing them lol lil *** Barea was going to the paint anytime he wants, LBJ was playing passive D he couldn't figure out how to guard terry with or without the ball. LBJ was able to shut down rose on the 4th, but can't figure out why he couldn't guard jason terry.

Immaturity: Too many turnovers, Dwade dribbling the ball on his foot and fumbling a pass. Lebron I think avg almost 3.6 TO a game, and 24 TO during the whole series. Not too mention excessive premature celebration, whenever they make a good play they act like this is first time they dunked the ball, firing up the Mavs. Making fun of Dirk in front of the Dallas Mavericks camera. I mean pretty much they acted how a 16 year old would act. Not to mention LBJ post game remarks, like skip said lebron is 26, looks like 36 and acts like a 16 years old.

Mavs Zone D: I predicted that the only way to beat Miami is to get to a Zone D. There is just no way in hell anyone can guard lebron and wade man to man, they need to make them a jump shooter. Well obviously it worked. Mind you it's harder to play zone in the NBA because of the 3 sec violation and the touch fouls. But the mavs was able to pull it off with the right personnel.

LBJ disapearance: This one I didn't see coming, I don't mind a player trying to jack up 30 shots at least he trying, but to totally disappear in the 4th quarter was mind buggling to me. Whenever somebody passed the ball to LBJ, see how quick he pass the ball to somebody else.

Overall I think this is the reason why they lost. I think the LBJ 4th quarter performance is what killed them. The game was always close till the last minute, I think there was a point on game 6 where it was tied 100-100, and LBJ was nowhere to be found and dwade was having a bad night. I know people is quick on calling out the coach but when a game is tied 100-100 in the last minute of the game, you can throw out the playbook because the game into iso plays and it becomes mavs superstars vs heat superstars. At the end of the day the Mavs just wanted it more.
