Both teams made it to the finals for the first time in franchise history. Which team do you think will go all the way?

its gonna be interesting to see how both teams adjust to handling the superstar big men in shaq and dirk. i think which ever team limits the productivity the most of these two players will win. i like the heat in 7

[MontrealCity's Most]

I ride with Shaq and with Miami since hes not with the Laker now, Go Shaq f...Kobe... who was the key there uh

Mavs in 6, that's how they doin' it!

I hope Devin Harris will finally be stepping up again, since he's way too fast for Payton and Williams. He could abuse them left and right.

^^^ pheonix didnt have any shot blockers in the middle
ask billups, hamilton, prince about shaq/mourning's ability to change shots and block them

shaq always abuses "erica" dampier this aint the regular season no more


we've already faced Richard Jefferson whos pretty fast, and the youthful chicago bulls with all that team speed
mavericks dont scare us

Heat in 7

Well, I'm really looking forward to this series.  I like both teams - great coaches, and both teams are HUNGRY.  I hope it goes 7 games.

Its a tough call here though - you gotta wonder how different the Heat / Pistons series would have been if the Pistons were routinely knocking down shots.  It's not like the Heat's D was unbelievable, its just that Detroit wasn't really hitting their shots.

As I've said before, if the Heat stay healthy I think they will take it.

^that's the thing though , the pistons have never been a steller offensive team. if you shut down the defense of that team and frustrate them they're nothing.



i believe in the heat, i'm not 100% sold on the mavs yet, but i believe that the mavs pose a good thread to the heat, but anytime you have shaq on a team you got to go with that team.....too much of the other's team's game plans have to be changed when you face a shaq team, then you got zo and haslm, too much meat too much. then offensively the heat can hit you from the paint and outside with many weapons.


i predict the heat in 6
