tied for first – Lebron James and Dwayne Wade.

Two great players and two great performances, it`s hard to decide who had a better game.

Let`s take a look at the stats.

lebron – 24points 9-16 FG 4-5 3pointers 2-2 FT 9 reb 5 ast 1 stl 1 to

wade – 22points 9-19 FG 2-4 3pointers 2-5 FT 10reb 6 ast 2 blocks 3 to

both players had such a similar statline you can`t tell their perfomances apart by that, and if you look to the game you will see that lebron had a nice start while wade started slow but when the mavs had their biggest lead at 51-43 wade came with back to back buckets to make the game close.

lebron had that buzzer beater 3 pointer at the end of the third, wade had that big 3 pointer. Lebron held terry scoreless in the 2half and wade made a great defensive job on marion. Wade was hot in the forth and lebron put the game away with 2 amazing dunks.

I can`t give the first spot to one of them without being unfair to the other so for game 1 they are tied at first.

3-Dirk Nowitzki

How do you know if dirk is one of the greatest?

when you see him drop 27 points on 7-18 FG 1-2 3pt 12-12FT 8 rebs 2 ast 2 T.O. and you considered he had at best an average game.But if dallas wants to win this series dirk needs to play at his best, he needs to be unstoppable and get all the attention from the heat defense so terry, peja, marion, kidd and barea can get some open looks.But even with an "average" performance he gets the third place.

4-Chris Bosh.

the velociraptor struggled from floor shooting 5-18 but he made up for that going to the Ft line and shooting 9-12 and dropping 19 points 9 boards 3 ast and 1 blk.

Bosh has been playing really well in the playoffs and his scoring numbers may improve as the series go on but for this performance he gets the fourth spot.(in the comments can someone post an evaluation of chris bosh at the defensive end i did not pay much attention to him during the game on defense, my bad)

5-Shawn Marion.

the matrix had a quiet but solid game with 16 points 6-12 Fg 4-5 FT 10 boards 4 ast 1 stl 1 block and 3 T.O.,

he had his hands full with Lebron on the defensive end, but contributed in the offensive end more than he normally does.

The x-factor.

MISTER MARIO CHALMERS. In my opinion chalmers is the smallest part of the heat little (mario, haslem and miller) but still managed to get 12 points 3-8 FG 3-7 3pt 3-4 FT and was a nice defensive presence against the mavericks guards.
