I can't decide if Miami deserves all the credit for shooting like 1,000% and holding the Pistons to like .00001% throughout the series, or if its more Detroit's fault for not guarding anyone and not hitting wide open shots.

What I mean is, throughout the six games, its clear that Detroit did not even attempt to defend Miami the way they should have. The Heat players had a free ride through the lane for the entire series. On the other hand, the Pistons had open looks throughout the entire series, and just couldn't hit wide open jumpers or even layups to save their lives.

So, if Detroit doesn't guard Miami well, and Miami shoots great, and Miami doesn't guard Detroit well, but Detroit misses all its wide open shots, who gets the credit/blame?

I don't want to say Detroit "beat themselves" and take credit away from Miami, but when you shoot 30% and there's no defender anywhere near you, how can you call that great defense?
