I tihnk they just got flat out outplayed by the Heat. And I don't even like the Heat, but damn, did they play just about perfect in the four games they won.<BR/><BR/>Mavs in 6White Dadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000657284869736377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-1149608533783263872006-06-06T11:42:00.000-04:002006-06-06T11:42:00.000-04:00I think a lot of people are calling Miami, for the...I think a lot of people are calling Miami, for the Shaq/Riley story.

It would remain accurate too. <BR/><BR/>I think on paper Dallas should win. They have size and fouls to throw at Shaq. Then again, Wade has become a special player. If he's better than anyone else on Dallas beside Dirk then they could win. <BR/><BR/>On paper I think Dallas should win. But I'm calling Miami. I think they will have a special performance.

I hate that the league has tailored the rules to make this kind of ball successful. Granted, the Pistons and Spurs are excruciating to watch, but the fact that the Mavs (and the Suns minus Amare) could be (or could have been) champs doesn't sit well with me at all. They are like the basketball version of the Rams when they won the Super Bowl.<BR/><BR/>Though I would prefer that Miami wins, I hate every player on the Heat outside of Wade and Shaq. They destroyed their team chemistry over the off season. Yes, they beat the Pistons, but they would have beaten them last year had Shaq and Wade been healthy. Relying on Jason Williams, and Antoine Walker, and Gary Payton for offense is bad news, but Miami needs them to guard Harris, Terry, Dirk, Stackhouse, etc.? That's a recipe for disaster.<BR/><BR/>This series will depend on the officiating. I think there is a slight bias toward the Heat, but given the rule changes, Dallas should run circles around Miami.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-1149535734534714262006-06-05T15:28:00.000-04:002006-06-05T15:28:00.000-04:00good call TAN -- but who's winning the title?good call TAN -- but who's winning the title?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-1149527150035955182006-06-05T13:05:00.000-04:002006-06-05T13:05:00.000-04:00ha.
