Heat are up 3-1 on the Pistons...

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Will they eventually win the series, or will the Pistons come back and take it in 7?

[58-4ever]

Dwayne Wade is the man. There is no way that the Pistons come back. They looked like a team in disarray.

I always thought Wade was pretty good, but he has taken it to another level this series. He's shooting an enormous percentage from the field, it's sick.

[NJ Chief Fan]

:shake: nlm :nosmilie: :Lin:

[Chiefs Pantalones]

And Shaq actually looks like he's trying...

[JBucc]

It's ovah. So is the other series imo. Mavs Heat chamionship with Miami winning in six. Wade MVP.

[BIG_DADDY]

Go Heat!!! :thumb:

Hope they win it all.

[Hammock Parties]

A bad free-throw shooting team won't beat Dallas.

[Kclee]

A bad free-throw shooting team won't beat Dallas.

Yeah, I'm kind of liking the Mavs to win it all.

[58-4ever]

A bad free-throw shooting team won't beat Dallas.

I have to agree. The Mavs are good and they have actually stepped it up on the defensive end of the floor. Plus, Dirk is actually being aggressive consistently, which was unheard of in years past.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I want the Heat to win, but they have a better shot against the Suns than the Mavs.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

They looked like a team in disarray.
I completely agree. The Pistons are a shell of their former selves. Heat win 4-1.

[Mile High Mania]

Would love to see Mavs/Heat with Mavs winning it all.

[ArrowheadHawk]

i like the heat... i despise the lakers so i now love shaq because he left and i like wayde he's a baller even though he got his ass wooped by hinrich and the boys in the final four

[Basileus777]

The Heat will win this series, but the western conference will win the championship. The Heat do not match up well against either the Suns or the Mavs.

Go Dirk!

[BigMeatballDave]

Go Heat!!! :thumb:

Hope they win it all.So Shaq can shove down Kobe's throat, that he didn't need him to win a title?

Check out that dudes face.

Shaq's team is ready for it's title run now. The Lakers will be free up a ton of salary space over the next two years. You haven't seen the end Kobe. I hope they both win titles without each other.

[Predarat]

Shaq and co are on a mission!

Kobe is a joke without Shaq and Shaq is proving it.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Would love to see Mavs/Heat with Mavs winning it all.Me too. Without a geographical team to call my own, I've always liked the Heat, Mavs, Cavs, Clips, Nuggets (not as much now), and (in the past) Kings. Having the Heat and Mavs in the Finals would be awesome. Although, I would certainly pull for the Mavs. Dirk has been fun to watch for a while now.

[NJ Chief Fan]

heat wont be able to put up points with the mavs

[CoMoChief]

I absolutely hate the Detroit Pistons and always have, not that anyone should care, but I hope the Heat will finish them off in the next game. Dwayne Wade is incredible, and I never thought he would be this good coming out of college to be honest with you, the guy couldnt handle Keith Langford in the final four, but I guess it's one of those "who's better now" kinda things. Go Heat!

[JimNasium]

Is the NBA season still going? It seems like the NBA and NHL play 11 1/2 months each year.

[CoMoChief]

Mavs cant play ANY defense. Tell me one person on the Mavs that will be able to handle Shaq.

[CoMoChief]

Kobe is a joke without Shaq and Shaq is proving it.

Really? Kobe Bryant proved to me this season that he's the best player in the NBA. He has absolutely crap to play with and he got the Lakers as far as they did, though they did melt down against the Suns. Did anyone here even think the Lakers would make the playoffs this season? I know I didnt.

Shaq has alot better cast to play with and he's is simply showing that he can dominate, like against suckass Big Retard Ben Wallace, but he's definately showing signs of age, and isnt the same player he once was.

[Hammock Parties]

Mavs cant play ANY defense.

They just held the SUNS to 88 points. Check your ignorance at the door.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Mavs cant play ANY defense. Tell me one person on the Mavs that will be able to handle Shaq.Mavs play pretty solid D. What have you been watching? They might not be able to "handle" shaq, but they'll put some active bodies on him (Diop, Dampier).

who is gonna stop dirk? uranus haslom is a joke

To think that Kobe didn't play a role in that is silly. He is at least partly responsible for his supporting cast.

Great players make their teammates better: See LeBron James.

I actually thought the Cavs would knock out Detroit.

Don't bother pointing out facts to the hater. Kobe and Lebron are the best players in BB.

Youre saying Kobe didnt make any of his teammates better? The Lakers were playing some damn good basketball at the end of their run despite that meltdown against the Suns.

Yea and Kobe did none of that as we saw in the playoffs did he? :rolleyes:

[Pitt Gorilla]

[BIG_DADDY]

He may have, but not to the extent of LeBron. Your claim was that he is the best player. I don't think he is.

If I had my choice of anyone in the league I would probably pick Lebron. That being said I think Kobe went a long ways with what he had to work with and I think he was the best player in the league this year. He will get a lot more help over the next 2 years.

[NJ Chief Fan]

HELLO!!!!! steve nash?!?!?!?!?! c'mon now he made it to the west conf finals 2 years in a row not to mention 2 consecutive MVP trophies and this year without his sidekick amare stoudamire...the suns are the team to beat next season if amare could return healthy


steve nash makes his whole team better...raja bell tim thomas...these guys shouldnt be putting up 20 a game but they are cause of the way nash distributes the rock

1 nash
2 kobe
3 kg
4 ai
5 lebitch

[CoMoChief]

actually ill argue that kobe is #2 stevie nash is #1...nash made tim thomas decent


I will agree that Nash is the best team player in the NBA, the guy makes EVERYONE better. Imagine what the Suns would be with Amare?

Yea don't even take into consideration the supporting cast. :rolleyes: Give me a break hater. Go ahead and keep saying retarded things though I guess it's your way of having somebody pay attention to you.

[Hammock Parties]

Yea don't even take into consideration the supporting cast.

By all means, that is exactly what I am considering.

The key word in the phrase "supporting cast" is SUPPORTING.

Without Shaq to SUPPORT him, Kobe is reduced to being a glory hound on a mediocre team.


And thanks for the insults, I appreciate them.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I thought the Pistons would win tonight.

It looks like the Heat are going to have to end it Friday, and if they don't win, it looks like another come-from-behind series win for the Pistons, unfortunately. I miss the days of the teams like the Bulls, Lakers, Celtics, etc. The days when killer teams had that killer instinct to end a series. Those days are done for now, though.
