Detroit took 2 of 3 from miami during the regular season.

I didn't watch any of the three games, I was wondering how they contained shaq, was he in all the game even?

well it's all over for my Sonics. they made a good run this season and they had a decent series against the Spurs without Leewis and Radmanovic. good luck to the rest of the teams in the playoffs.

Apr 10 Detroit won 80-72 with no Shaq
Dec 30 Miami won 89-78 in Detroit. Shaq 9-21 21pts 7reb
Nov 26 Detriot won 78-77 (inbounds play be Hamilton 1.3 sec left ) Shaq: 8-17 24pts 17reb

Looks close based on regular season results. However, Shaq's still hurting so it'll be tough to win without him. If he plays he'll be lucky to be 75%. At least rest > rust.

Pistons over Miami in 6 bishes!

1. Shaq is not better than last year.
2. DeWayne is not better than Kobe.
3. Defense wins Championships.

Fuck Dirk

he bitched at everyone else, but lost his own composure and lost the game.
Michael Finley can suck my balls.

Start over with a new team Dallas, this one is done.

oh, and the reason why I say fuck dirk?

he spent all that time fussing at everyone else, flopping around like a trout on the seattle fish market, bitching about every non-call, and then when he got pissed, decided to try and take the game into his own hands.

but by that time he was so frustrated and tried so hard, he blew it.

Tonight's game pretty much explained it all...why Nash is this year's MVP.

1. He didn't need to be but since he's hurt he's not the same.
2. Still seems to be winning without Shaq. Probably why Shaq didn't get MVP. Heat was still capable with Wade. Not the same but capable.
3. Who has the better D? Miami gave up a lower FG% while Detroit gave up less points.

I think we might lose because of matchup problems. Other than center, Detroit can cause a problem for each position even with Wade on the floor.

PG: I think Billups is one of the best PG's in the game. Jones can only hit 3's.
SG: Rip will be covered by Eddie Jones, who shut down Vince Carter. This one is close but EJ's offense is inconsistent.
SF: Wade will be covered by a bigger Prince. Prince drew fouls on Wade last game to keep him out of the game. Prince is slept on because the other 4 are great too but I would love to have him on my team.
PF: Haslem will have a hard time with Wallace.

After this series there shouldn't be any more doubters about Nash. Hell Shaq in the postseason hasn't even been his own team's MVP, that would go to Mr. Wade.

Its gonna be an exciting series regardless. I favor detroit.

Speaking for most Motown fans - we want tp play and win against a healthy Shaq - NO EXCUSES ALLOWED for the Miami Twinkies.
