LOL@blaming it on Wade's injury...Heat woulda' lost regardless, Detroit's the real deal...But they're still losing to the Spurs, ya'll will see...I predicted this when the playoffs first started...The Heat have way too many underachievers to be a championship caliber team...They have that 1-2 punch of Shaq and Wade, but if last years Lakers didn't take it all, there's no way this years Heat can take it all while relying on an injured, out of shape, declining center and a young, inexperienced, and now injured guard...I'm not saying this years combo of Wade and Shaq ain't good, but if you believe this combo can achieve more than the Kobe and Shaq combo, then you're fuckin' nuts...Spurs, Pistons (championship teams) > Heat, Suns (good teams).

its all about experience and depth in the playoffs IMO. You can get away without having one or the other maybe, but only if the OTHER one is really in your favor. The experience...is obvious. If anyone questions that as important, theyre retarded lol. Depth is big, especially in these later rounds. Every team is playing 7 game series, against the best teams in the league. Most teams have some sort of injuries to deal with. Whether players are missing games, or just not at 100%. You have to be able to rest your stars, SOME...especially if u go deep into the playoffs. Not to mention, like i said...these are the best teams the league has to offer. A good starting 5 can be good enough to get u here, get you through the regular season, and even keep up with the top teams starting 5. But when the 7 game series comes into play, u see teams like SA excel. Our starting 5 doesnt always blow teams away in the first quarter....but our lead more just slowly grows...and grows. Thats the bench. When other teams have a huge drop off in talent on their bench, we dont. Shit, Manu was comin off the bench.
