Boy are the refs trying to keep philly in this game. Iverson's new name is TI for Traveling Iverson....sooooo many travels it's ridiculous. They messed up Tayshauns block and counted Webers basket that hit the shot clock and that's just a few of the bad calls. Horrible. I have a feeling it's going to be like this for the Pistons though, Stern does not want to superstarless Final matchup (SA and Det)....

He has an enourmous amount of potential, too bad he feels that way though, it's his own fault. How does he figure they used him lol? He was out for 90% of the season. I used to stick up for Delfino but after this I'm not quite sure, he's just being a little baby about this.

I don't know what you are talking about becuase I didn't say either of those two things. Of course nobody will match up with Shaq on New Jersey, I simply stated that they have to make the big guy run on his "bruised thigh" and take advantage of the first game assuming he doesn't play. Wade is a freak as well, I think Shaq is a whole ton better off with Wade rather than Kobe.

Dwayne Wade s***s all over your NJ upset theory in a heartbeat. Dude's a superstar and will not be contained by Jason Kidd's aging knees. Jefferson is coming in at less than 100% and Vince Carter hasn't proven himself to be a playoff competitor, to say the least. Also, who do the Nets have to bang down low? Scalabrine? Ridiculous. Even a lumbering Shaq will be coasting through this business. Ooohhhhhh, forgive me all-knowing Rampage_Winger. I apologize on behalf of my pea-size brain which does not compare to yours. I never will be as good as you and you surely let me know that. I look forward to the Pistons "upsetting" your Spurs, that's if of course they get through Dallas. But Dallas sucks too don't they? Just like every other team that isn't the San Antonio Spurs.

Gotta fix your sentence there JohnO, I know you meant "I don't think the Nets will be able..." but it says Heat. Miami isn't that good of a defensive team, and Mourning is over-hyped. Shaq might not play in the first game, NJ HAS to jump on that, and just get the big guy moving. Even if Shaq is at 75% he still is going to get the job done, gotta keep him moving on that thigh.

Go to espn.com, click nba, you will see state-by-state results, this is where the awesome part is. Only Michigan has Detroit winning the championship, how freaking sweet is that? Hmmmmmm, same slow start as last year, same record as last year, same disrespect as last year, see any repetitiveness? Now is the time to shove another trophy in everyones face.

Miami-NJ: NJ (4-3) Chicago-Washington: Chicago (4-2) Boston-Indy: Boston (4-3) Detroit-Philly: (4-1) ---------------------------------- NJ-Chicago: NJ (4-3) Detroit-Boston: Detroit (4-2) ---------------------------------- Detroit-NJ: Detroit (4-2) Yea I think NJ is going to upset Miami and here is why they will, or how I think they should do it: The fast break, if JKidd and VC can get a fast paced game going and get Shaq running up and down the court, on his bruised thigh, they will simply wear him down and the Heat will have to rely on Wade. And if Richard Jefferson can be somewhat effective it will only add to the beating of the bandwaggon extradionare the Miami Heat. Only going to do the EC right now, WC will be coming later. If Detroit plays up to their capability getting to the Finals should be rather easy for them. Only team I see posing a threat to them are the Spurs, lot of talk going around that Dallas is going to be the dark horse and beat them.
