Pistons v. Miami = ugly
Miami played like crap....and took stupid shots...and yes I saw a lot of bad calls for Miami...Pistons won that one...
Next up tonight....Suns v. Mavs...both without key players......

3-1 Heat This may be their year....Dwayne Wade is a monster, I still can't believe Billups was before Wade on the MVP ballot, Wade is a much more special player then Billups! I don't want to talk to soon but I'm looking forward to that $20 GTkrockett

I'm actually enjoying the playoffs this year, the games aren't completely boring like watching Detroit and San Antonio play. I really hope it plays out Dallas vs Miami that would be an exciting series and good offensive basketball.

I dunno if you can say they are the best of the remaining four....
Dallas is the deepest team of the remaining four. The Dallas-Suns series right now is back and forth...seems, Bell might be the difference maker for the Suns. Both games they won with Bell....both games they lost cuz he was out. Who's gonna win? I dunno...im rooting for the Suns, but either team deserves to go...(I just cant stand Cuban's whining...excellent fan, but the epitome of the guy that you love to hate)
Detroit was the best team....until Cleveland seemed to expose a chink in their armor....and Miami seems to have exploited it.....ie, play a similar defense to theirs...lots of pushing, grabbing, and checking....hands up in their face...
Miami is riding high.....GP is playing well....giving them a solid pg....and Antoine hasnt shot them out of the game....still an idiot, but hes played well enough. Posey has given them key shots...Shaq hasnt fouled out.....Wade is being Wade. Zo as a serviceable back up is huge. Haslem seems to be the X factor still....

Duncan was sub-par all year long, yet somehow Dallas gets credit for guarding him and that says something about stopping Shaq?
Dallas would need to shoot the lights out to beat miami, because you know they wouldn't get any points in the paint.

I like the heat, d wade is fuckin awsome, but what the hell was that bs about when they started fouling ben wallace....never had respect for teams that tried that against shaq, and its making me not like the heat...d wade still a g tho, so i still wouldn't mind seeing them take it

That way they couldnt do the same to shaq... anyone they fouled in that lineup would sink a free throw shot with their eyes closed.

i guess some people could see it as smart coaching, i see it as a team losing its self respect and acting like little bitches

I think that if the Heat play physical defense they can beat Dallas. Miami is shooting very well and our big guys will be too much in the paint for Dallas. The Heat have trouble with fast break teams like Phoenix and probably won't be able to stop the transition game.

All assuming Miami and Phoenix make it to the Finals.
