    last year the Heat were awful against the best teams in the L. it didn't matter.

    you get hot in the playoffs, you can do some damage.

    When it comes down to it. Who in the East won't the Heat be favored in a 7-game series? I would favor the Heat in any of them.

    Beating the Mav's who will come out the West is a different story. I think they Beat Cav's or Pistons in 6 in ECF's. Lose to the Mav's in 6 in the Finals.

    The Pistons can win the series but they won't. They can't guard Wade at all & that was with Ben Wallace.

    Only reason pistons lost to Heat last year was they were burnt out for the playoffs after playing so hard in the regular season. That shouldn't be the case this year. The Pistons now won't be playing 4 on 5 eveyr offense now either. With Ben gone and Webber in, the Pistons have 5 legit guys who can score. something that didn't happen in the starting 5 last season in the playoffs.

    Defense wasn't the problem in that series, offense was. Depending who the pistons get for Nazr, the Pistons should beat the Heat. This time around It will be different. Different situation

    Offense was a problem but the only way the Piston beat the Heat is with stops. Subing Webber for Wallace doesn't help that one bit.

    Wade abused the Pistons 2 years in a row. That isn't going to change. I think the Pistons will score more & still lose in 6.

    The Pistons even bring 2000 flashbacks out of Shaq. He averaged 22.5 & 11rebs in that series.

    He has to be laughing his a@@ off at the thought of Webber guarding him.

    Webber's defense isn't anywhere near as bad as tyou make It out to be. The way Flip coaches defense is he plays alot of zone so what Webber does defensively won't be too bad.

    Yeah Wade will score alot, he does against whoever. The Pistons have more weapons than the Heat this season. Only reason they lost to them last year was they tired out.

    You say Shaq will be laughing at Webber guarding him but who does Shaq guard? who It is they will be laughing also. Webber will have whatever he wants If Shaq is forced to guard him. Works both ways.

    Shaq is seriously on the decline, I don't see him dominating anymore. Pistons are younger, have a deeper bench than a year ago and actually have a guy who can score with all the forward positions.

    Heat need to add some talent otherwise I don't see them advancing.

    Every defending champion's fans always use that theory. It's idiotic.

    moreover, you actually have to qualify for the playoffs before you can use this logic.


    Heat should not get too complacent with the Shaq cures all tonic. it may backfire.
