Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA finals Game 1 analysis

The Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks went for the coveted Larry O'Brien trophy in their Game 1 Finals matchup yesterday. Everyone was expecting a great game and thats what we got. The heat were off to a bit of a sluggish start, but they found a way overcome a deficit at halftime. In the playoffs, the Heat are 6-0 when they are down at halftime. Coach Spoelstra is doing a great job of keeping this team cool and not paniking, though I wouldnt want to get confident. This Dallas Mavericks team is full of great players and have a ton of veterans. They are going to go out there with a purpose and Miami can not get overconfident. They had to fight for this one until they finally took control of the game. Dirk was being Dirk and their bench was no where to be found. We played very good defense but I think we had times where Miami was slow rotating to the open man and having to chase bodies. Also I noticed that we need to do a better job of closing out on defense because we would switch to a different player and one of the Dallas players blew by us. But throughout these playoffs, I believe that the Heat have learned how to finish games and it has been a huge plus for the Heat. Lebron came to the rescue and Wade came up big in the 4th after a slow start, and Bosh did a tremendous job rebounding and making key shots when they needed it most. The Miami Heat bench has to keep playing the way they played in game one. The Heat have only outscored another teams bench 8 times out of the 98 games they have played all season.

Top Five First Basemen in the Major Leagues

      This is a list of my opinion of the best first basemen in the MLB.

Number 1


Albert Pujols

     I believe that Albert Pujols is not only the best first baseman in the league, but the best player in the league.

159 games, 587 AB, 115 R, 183 H, 39 2B, 42 HR, 118 RBI, .312 AVG

Mark Teixeira

158 games, 601 AB, 113 R, 154 H, 36 2B, 33 HR, 108 RBI, .256 AVG

That is my list for the Top 5 First Basemen in the MLB. There will be another list for the top 5 Second Basemen.

Buster Posey is out for about 2 months.

Posey has a broken fibula and severely strained ligaments in his left ankle and will miss at least six to eight weeks, Giants head trainer Dave Groeschner told the San Francisco Chronicle. Posey will need surgery on his ankle, Groeschner said, and it is possible a screw could be inserted.

"The fracture will be fine," said Groeschner. "The ankle injury is most concerning to us."

It's hard to imagine a more important position player than Posey to replace. The loss of Posey will be an enormous hurdle for the Giants to overcome if they want to repeat as the World Series champion. This brings up the question if they should make rules about plays on the plate. Posey's agent himself spoke with Joe Torre, leader of on-field operations for Major League Baseball, He also said he spoke with the players' union about the play. This is interesting because if NFL's players go head-to-head they get a $100,000 fine. This raises the question of whether they should put fines on these kinds of plays in baseball.
